iTunes 8.2 has introduced a new feature: if you have a keypad lock on your phone (or iPod touch? I guess they can do that?) then you must authenticate to the device before iTunes will sync with it. I went through three emotions about this, roughly aligned to Id, Ego, and Superego (in that order):
- This is irritating, get out of my way.
- Actually, I like this because it was, previously, a glaring security hole.
- Oh, it’s still a glaring security hole exploitable by anybody clever enough to keep an old version of iTunes about and it gets in my way now.
That’s about as far as my thought process on this goes and I’ve concluded the whole thing is both silly and irritating. Maybe I’ve missed something?
