    Finally I've received my brand spanking new M11x R3 yesterday. My God, it's such a beast!

    Anyway, I've done all the ceremonies, uninstalled McAfee, made AlienRespawn media, gotten all my apps and games in except... Yup, iTunes.

    I've done a lot of research regarding incompatibilities, BSODs, and all the bad things that happen when you install iTunes but somehow I need to get around to this as I've a lot of media waiting to be transferred.

    I've read that the latest drivers from the official Bigfoot site have fixed the issues but I'm still seeing reports stating the contrary.

    Does anyone have a final word on whether the issues have been fixed and I can safely use iTunes, App Store, and everything Apple related?

    I somehow don't regret my decision to go with a Killer card as thus far I'm VERY satisfied with it. But, if push comes to shove I might be forced to buy an Intel 6300 and install it myself.

    Thanks for any help.

    My friend was able to solve the problem. He called apple support and they were able to walk him through it.

    I've never encountered any issues resulting from having iTunes installed. I have an r2 though so I can't comment on r3 issues. However, I wouldn't see why there'd be any difference.
