Am I the only person whose iTunes Shopping Cart has become unusable after installing the OS X Airport update back on April 28th. I've held out for as long as I could, but wanna buy my stuff! I can use the One-click option, but that's no fun. iTunes support hasn't been able to help. Any ideas/solutions?

The Following is from macfixit:
There are a few problems in iTunes 4.5 caused (in some cases) by Unsanity's ShapeShifter interface modification tool. These include shopping cart and Party Mix issues. Unsanity says its haxie is not the only culprit in this situation, and offering a fix that does not require disabling ShapeShifter.
Unsanity's Jason Harris writes: "The issue is that iTunes 4.5 is using iTunes 4.2 resources because ShapeShifter had cached them for speedy access.
"The fix is simply to reapply your theme using the ShapeShifter preference pane and relaunch iTunes.
"I don't think that ShapeShifter is the only issue here - I think that Apple's servers were also getting hammered. People who have never installed ShapeShifter were getting the same errors. But using the cached resources can't be a good thing, so I suggest that all ShapeShifter users follow the above procedure. Apologies to all for any inconvenience this has caused, and please rest assured that we'll be resolving this in a future release of ShapeShifter."
Scripts not working; ShapeShifter A MacFixIt reader writes "I have 8 scripts in ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/ they worked perfect with iTunes 4.2 but since I updated to iTunes 4.5 the Scriptmenu is missing."
The same reader writes that disabling ShapeShifter re-enabled the Scripts menu. "I just found the problem. It's ShapeShifter, I applied the normal Aqua Theme, then I deleted this folder ~/Library/Caches/ShapeShifter/ then you can apply your theme again. Now my Script menu finally works again."
If you are still experiencing problems with ShapeShifter, you may want to try reverting to the Aqua theme, restarting or logging out and back in, then re-selecting the theme.
If you problems persist, try excluding iTunes from the ShapeShifter themed list.
