by Simon Ng on October 31, 2009



iTunes LogoApple has released an update for iTunes and brings the version number to 9.0.2. The new version adds support for Apple TV software v3.0 and adds an option for a dark background for Grid View.

Other than that, it also comes with many new features and improvements:

  • An improved look and feel, including a new Column Browser for easily browsing your artists or albums, movies, TV shows, and more.
  • iTunes Store has a brand new look, with improved navigation for quick and easy exploration.
  • iTunes LP and iTunes Extras create unique experiences that feature exclusive interviews, videos, photos, and more — available with select album and movie purchases on the iTunes Store.
  • Home Sharing helps you manage your family’s iTunes collection between computers in your home. iTunes can automatically transfer new purchases, or you can choose just the items you want.
  • Genius Mixes are created for you by iTunes and play songs from your library that go great together.
  • iPod and iPhone syncing now allows you to organize your iPhone and iPod touch home screens directly in iTunes. Syncing is now also more flexible, allowing you to sync individual artists, genres, or TV show and Podcast episodes.
  • iTunes U items are now organized into their own section in your iTunes library.
  • Sync with iPod nano (5th generation), iPod classic (Fall 2009), and iPod touch (Fall 2009).


Many of you may concern about the upgrade of iTunes 9.0.2. Will it break jailbroken iPhone? Base on the test, it won’t work with jailbroken and unlocked iPhone. You can still sync your iPhone with iTunes 9.0.2. It’s pretty safe to upgrade to this latest version.

To download the iTunes 9.0.2, you can check out Apple’s iTunes website.

My jailbroken recently unlocked again iPhone 3GS 32GB indicates Version 3.1 (7C144) Modem Framware 05.11.07.. Is that Framware possible? And My Bluetooth indicates an ip address 00:26:B0:92:D8:A9 but when turned ON my laptop nor iTouch can Locate it…what’s wrong with that? Otherwise – performing well…
