I’ll be posting my insights and tips related to the new iTunes 9 and iPhone 3.1 releases after I’ve had time to properly digest them.
In the meantime, here’s what I wanted but didn’t get today and will continue wishing for in future Apple releases:
- Smart Contact Lists – These would be like smart playlists but be a way to sort and organize your contacts based on any of the information you enter for them in your address book and based on call data like how recently you spoke with them or how often you’ve called them.
- iTunes Support for Multiple Hard Drives – I’d love to store my music on my internal hard drive and my TV shows on an external hard drive and have everything always sync nicely and iTunes and my Apple TV not freak out if the external hard drive isn’t available.
- Genius for TV Shows and Movies – I’d love if iTunes could give me recommendations for additional media to watch based on what I already own or have rented. Maybe I could even rate things I watched outside of iTunes to improve those recommendations. (Update: Would you look at that, they didn’t announce it but if you click the “Genius Recommendations” link in the iTunes store you do get TV show and movie recommendations and you can rate things without having bought them via the iTunes store.)
- Apple TV Firmware Update – Apple TVs can’t remember wireless network passwords so if the network drops for any reason you have to enter it again. It’s been a known issue for years now so why hasn’t it been fixed yet?
What features are on your wishlist?

One very simple thing: Being able to use the Remote iPhone/Touch app to send music that is on the iPod to an Airport.
Something needs to be done with AppleTV. I really don’t want to use Boxee since it would be considered a hack but I am so tempted.
