Apple Releases iTunes 7.7

[Mark Booth]

It is 12:24am Pacific Time on Thursday, July 10. Software Updates shows iTunes version 7.7! It didn't come up just 10 minutes ago when I checked so it was JUST posted. Downloading now!

Mark

Edit: iTunes 7.7 installed but no sign of the iPhone App Store at iTunes Store. Also, checking for a firmware update for the iPhone still shows version 1.1.4 as the current version. Oh well, at least I'm ready with iTunes 7.7. And, since Apple released this tonight, it would follow as likely that Apple will release the iPhone 2.0 firmware and App Store sometime tomorrow.

[AppleIntelRock]

w00t, had to come tonight

[Michael CM1]

It is 12:25am on Thursday, July 10. Software Updates shows iTunes version 7.7 (it didn't come up just 10 minutes ago so it was JUST posted). Downloading now!

Mark

Same here! I also checked about 10 minutes ago. I'm just glad you weren't like that arse from Canada who posted a thread title and then said "Gee, don't you wish that was a real headline?"

[adamerr]

[AceFernalld]

Woah, does anyone have Vista that is updating??

[scorpio07]

[flamebourne]

[arian19]

finally

[deniser]

Tell a lie it is there now, just updating

[scotto07]

I have downloaded it but any idea on when the iPhone 2.0 will be up?

[AppleIntelRock]

Wasteland. This is false information.

... that's b/s

i'm downloading it now

[serich159]

I got 7.7 downloading now... 47.9 mb on 10.5.4 macbook pro...

[29twelve]

Software Update show the new version, check for updates in iTunes doesn't.

[dungbeetle]

Using Vista, and it's still not there.

[cloudnine]

I have downloaded it but any idea on when the iPhone 2.0 will be up?

No.

[Enigmah]

Dont check for an update through iTunes itself.......use the mac software updater and it shows up !!!!!

WWWWOOO000ooo......

[superstrikertwo]

maybe its only for mac users?

That's what I'm starting to think :(

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Finally ready to unjailbreak my iPod.

[Michael CM1]

FYI no firmware 2.0 yet

[deniser]

maybe its only for mac users?

I think it must be as nothing when I check on XP but is there on my mac

[jakebot]

arn, go to sleep! hehe

excited to try out this remote feature

[Gyser]

Still getting 7.6.2 is the current version.

[dungbeetle]

Software Update show the new version, check for updates in iTunes doesn't.

How do I find software update, check for updates is the only way I know how.

[AceFernalld]

Available for Vista??

[consumedsoul]

Only for my mac machines thus far, unavailable for PC machines.

That's what I'm starting to think :(

[andybno1]

I have downloaded it but any idea on when the iPhone 2.0 will be up?

probably tomorrow unless they sneak it in today

[carve]

downloading...

[adamerr]

ok. its a def.

title of the thread should be changed to

iTunes 7.7 is up.... FOR MAC USERS.

[ugamac]

I'm downloading it now as well. You have to go to software update through the apple menu.

[colourclassic]

Come on 2.0 Hurry!

[zildjianfan]

it's sad that I'm so excited about a software update at 3:30 in the morning
what has Apple done to me!? :D

[Mr Ikasu]

So 'Remote' is confirmed. Cool.

[ajd10720]

Just in Time, only 30mins left to go until the mobile me :)

[carve]

Downloading as i'm typing..

[gusapple]

Yes! iTunes Remote! I'm guessing that it will use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. But, who knows?

[zeasar]

Downloading as I type this...

[Michael CM1]

[matthew858]

It is not available for windows. If you check for updates in iTunes, it's not there. It is also not on the iTunes website.

[macduke]

Well if the app store is in there then we would expect an imminent release of software 2.0, no? Especially since the remote is listed as a feature. I'm starting to freak!

[moonzilla]

I have downloaded it but any idea on when the iPhone 2.0 will be up?

go to sleep, i have a feeling itll be up by morning

[AceFernalld]

Should a Windows version be up within like 10 minutes?

[twobluebullets]

Can't download it yet from Apple.com/iTunes

Still 7.6

[88888888]

hmm cool :rolleyes:

[Formula1freak]

Don't make us wait any longer... it's not neccesarily OUR faults that we have a PC...

[macduke]

Well maybe if you wait more than 2 minutes it will show up??

[Morod]

Downloaded fine here. I guess I need to read up on the remote access. Does this mean the Front Row remote will now work iTunes? :confused:
Morod

[adamerr]

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's ad campaign to strike back at Apple.

lol.
they just need a zunePhone, then everything will be fine :p

[Mark Booth]

Sorry Windoze guyz! :) I'm sure the PC version will go live sometime tonight too.

As I added to my original post, the release this evening of iTunes 7.7 (for the Mac anyway) seems to bode well for the rumors that we'll see the iPhone firmware 2.0 and the App Store sometime tomorrow.

I don't have to work tomorrow so I know what I'll be doing! :)

Mark

[chapel321]

It's no lie. I just installed on it on my Mac as well....no sign of app store yet though. Tomorrow maybe.

Who's going to be the first to try it with a unlocked phone?

Weird... I'm not getting anything... either from Software Update or from "Check For Updates" in iTunes itself...

[scotto07]

anyone know the address of the XML file iTunes queries for the the updates, or the links of the previous updates so i can do some poking around for the update file

[29twelve]

How do I find software update, check for updates is the only way I know how.

Software Update is mac only, if you're on a PC it looks like you're gonna have to wait a bit longer.

[adamerr]

Should a Windows version be up within like 10 minutes?

..
you'd think so wouldnt you?
unless we dont get it for another day...
and apple is rewarding those for being "loyal" to their Macs?

[xix]

It is not available for windows. If you check for updates in iTunes, it's not there. It is also not on the iTunes website.

Why are you using a PC, dude?

Software update is called something like "Apple Software Updater" on Windows. Quicktime, Safari, iTunes, and Software Update are all on Windows too!

[tjcampbell]

Downloading it now... 3G is so close I can taste it.

[thor79]

Starting to believe this.

iTunes doesn't show it.
Neither does Apple Software Update.

Using Vista Ultimate 64 Bit.

[cloudnine]

[kjs862]

This is going to kill ipod click wheel games!

[dungbeetle]

Thanks, found it, 7.7 still def. not available for windows.

[Michael CM1]

Just so you guys know, there is NOTHING exactly functional that's new. There's an "Applications" icon like the Movie and TV Shows ones, but it just lists my old iPod 5th gen games.

There's no App Store, no iPhone 2.0 firmware. So fear not, Windows peeps. You're not missing out on anything. However, 24 hours from now could be a lot different.

[lostfan916]

All I can say is.... FINALLY!!! :eek:

[macduke]

Apple must be working all through the night to get these updates out. What an odd time for an update. I bet we will get some more pushed out to us soon. Now I can't sleep!! Holy crap Apple...I love you.

[iunnohead]

I had the developers version of iTunes 7.7, and it said it's gonna expire. :/
Can someone PM me the package thing so i can install the real 7.7? It's not showing up. DX

[bmms8]

it is downloading so slow haha. they needed to get it out so they could activate it in new zealand i guess. only 4 hours away!

[macduke]

Downloaded fine here. I guess I need to read up on the remote access. Does this mean the Front Row remote will now work iTunes? :confused:

Well, now it means that your iPhone or iPod Touch will work as a remote for iTunes, which is much more impressive. Just have to wait for 2.0 and the app store to drop now...

[pika2000]

There's a new option to look for iPhone & iPod touch remotes in preferences.

[29twelve]

Software update is called something like "Apple Software Updater" on Windows. Quicktime, Safari, iTunes, and Software Update are all on Windows too!

Ah yes, forgot you now had this updater for Apple Windows software.

[AceFernalld]

Would either uninstalling Dev7.7 or "AppZapping" it make it show up in Software Update?

That's lucky - the iPhone 3G launches here in just over 4 hours. Good to see the software's out.

You have to own a application in order to have the application tab, just like you have to rent a movie in order to have the Movie Rental tab.

[AceFernalld]

Oh yeah, that's what I meant. The App Store needs to be released before 8AM EDT today or the New Zealand iPhone 3G owners don't get to use the App Store for a whole day, which wouldn't be fair. I expect App Store in a few hours.

[gusapple]

Software update. Try it.

[hellodon]

For those of you that are checking for updates with iTunes and seeing that you are up to date with 7.6.2 .....you need to click the apple logo and click "Software Update". It shows up there...for some reason doesnt show up using "Check For Updates" using iTunes..but it is indeed in the Software Update.

I am in the itunes store, but don't see any option for buying any software.

[imaynard]

Go to preferences and than General. Click on Applications. It should show up in your upper left folder section where Audiobooks and Ringtones are grouped. The store itself isnt available, but should be at 9am...

[gentlegiantcrai]

You have to own a application in order to have the application tab, just like you have to rent a movie in order to have the Movie Rental tab.

to those with application tab

[overanalyzer]

Does anyone else find it interesting/odd that there isn't a new Applications tab for sync options for iPhones (like the Info/Ringtones/Music/Photos/Podcasts/Video tabs)? I assumed you'd be able to decide what applications to sync, as with other data. Perhaps it's a time-based auto-add, like how the iPhone automatically added the "send to .Mac gallery" button after the announcement of that feature, without requiring a software update? Or maybe you have to own an iPhone-compatible app before it will show?

[zsears]

No application icon here :rolleyes:


Running 7.7
You have to tell it to show up in preferences.

1. Delete iTunes (you can just throw it in the trash)
2. Go to /Library/Receipts/ and delete iTunesX.pkg
3. Go to Software Update
4. Install.

If that doesn't work, then I have no idea :)

It will probably pop up when 2.0 is installed

Some developer showed the tabs using 7.7 and 2.0 and it was there just like you're saying...so it will be there, as soon as we have apps and 2.0

I'm sure it'll show up once your iPhone is upgraded to 2.0.

NO! 9 AM! My tee time is at 8, I will have to bring my mac and hookup to the clubhouses wifi and download it

[blink37x]

I had no reason to have "Applications" show up in previous versions of iTunes (after my 5G iPod died) so I disabled it. I guess when I updated to 7.7 iTunes saw that I have an iPod Touch and decided to re-enable it for me.

What is Twitter? I signed up a couple weeks ago, didnt really look around too much - didnt really get it. Can you briefly explain?

[t22design]

I just went to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

and it said 7.7 for Windows, but underneath it said 'Your request produced an error' or something, so I refreshed, and it was back at 7.6!

[carve]

What is Twitter? I signed up a couple weeks ago, didnt really look around too much - didnt really get it. Can you briefly explain?

You just send out short messages on what you're doing at the moment, and then it gets "broadcasted" out to your friends on twitter. Right now mine says "Downloading iTunes 7.7!!!!!"

[bjeff6]

You have to own a application in order to have the application tab, just like you have to rent a movie in order to have the Movie Rental tab.

Actually it's under the general tab in prefs... check the empty box for applications... then it will be there...

Twitter is a "Please Stalk me" application - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALbH63Ali9U :)

[macduke]

Well of course! What respectable Mac user isn't obsessed with twitter?

me?

[gentlegiantcrai]

Actually it's under the general tab in prefs... check the empty box for applications... then it will be there...
:)

Most users, will have default setting, but yes this will work as well.

[Vinom]

This one feature, all by itself, makes 2.0 worth it.

Let's hope there are tons of other goodies in the App store.

Since it is a free upgrade... uh, yeh... yes it is certainly worth "it."

At that price, I;ll take two.

Bit off topic, but take a look at the forum spy all you see is this thread going right now.... GAHH that previous post makes me grind me teeth... steve jobs has prob been sleeping with his iphone air and we are all drooling over out computer screens right now.

Nike + iPod coming to iPhone.

Good find. arn updated that info on the front page. The news is flying fast a furious this early Thursday morning. Holy crap!!

[David G.]

Well of course! What respectable Mac user isn't obsessed with twitter?

Never ever used it.:o Should I have? Also, I'm going to bed, my brains not functioning the best right now(as you may have seen).

[SchneiderMan]

So no confirmation if it breaks an unlocked iPhone (gen1)??

same question :D ?

[iNelson]

Come on apps!!!


I'll be lurking for you

[Peace]

Where is this Nike preferences section?

It's in a NIB file inside iTunes app.

[dungbeetle]

You both are a little late :P

Sorry for confirming that the download works on windows. :rolleyes:

Never ever used it.:o Should I have? Also, I'm going to bed, my brains not functioning the best right now(as you may have seen).

Yeah dude, get one. At first you're like "meh, whats the big deal about twitter" then after a couple of days you become ADDICTED to it. I will become even more addicted with the iPhone app.

[Yil2201]

There are some interresting Nike + iPod Strings ...

Nah. Its lame...like the stalkerish Facebook news feeds. Thats probably the biggest trend I hate about the internet right now. I don't want people to constantly know what I'm doing, and I don't give a care what anyone else is doing right now either. If I want to know, say because I want to hang out, I'll text them or call them. I don't want to just know for the hell of it. Creepy.

[dragonpride2008]

thank you to the person who gave the link to download itunes 7.7 for windows now i can get some sleep

[maiden16tiger]

Its Working Now!!!!

Check The Itunes Apple Website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U Can Downloade It There!!

[RFR79]

downloading now for vista

[carve]

There are some interresting Nike + iPod Strings ...

looks like you just send your information directly from your iphone to your nike+ account.

[blink37x]

It would be great if the Nike integration did not require a physical add-on. It should be able to use the iPhone/iTouch's accelerometer.

[macduke]

Why do we need a new addiction? Isn't Apple enough for you people?!?! :D

[cualexander]

I'm glad I stayed up late and grabbed it quick... downloaded itunes 7.7 in about 40 secs... 1.1meg/sec. Gotta love high speed internet :)

Now if they would just open the app store, I can rest easy. Insomnia is a bitch.

[maiden16tiger]

Wow, that would be easy. So much functionality that we never thought of. This iPhone app stuff is starting to get out of hand, and I'm loving every bit of it! Its crazy...I bet the GPS would also be figured in.

i am installing it now

Crap, this thread was only started at 12:24 Pacfic Time and it' already 10 pages! :eek:

[rbailerum1]

It's in a NIB file inside iTunes app.

Sorry, I'm not sure what the NIB file is. The front page gives a screenshot of the preferences, but it's completely different than my preferences (I'm running 7.7). My preferences look the same as before (Summary, Info, Ringtones, Music, Photos, Podcasts, Video). Also, there is a radio button the top left of the screenshot that I do not have. What am I missing? I'm looking at the iPhone preferences (iPhone is highlighted in iTunes).
Thanks!

[kjs862]

I remember reading a rumor a little while ago that said that Apple was going to be expanding the ipod - nike system to incorporate different workouts, not just running. Maybe this has something to do with that. :confused:

A NIB file is a file created in interface builder, which anyone who has the developer tools installed can view for pretty much any application. It can look different in the final product depending on the code and I'm guessing that this is what all the iPod tab NIB files look like.

[gentlegiantcrai]

lol, when I plug my iPhone in iTunes crashes. That's not good! :eek:

Mine did that too, so i let it run for 5-10 minutes, and then my iphone just synced.

[barddzen]

Ok, any other freaks out there, we have a live chat going on iChat called "mobileme"...

[macnerd77]

Wii Fit for the iPhone?

i wonder. Me Fit or maybe Mobile Me Fit

I don't like how it says for sync "automatically" it should say "push".

Happily it is just 10:26 pm for me.

Edited: Download crashed. Starting over with save instead of run option.

Got it, thanks!! So it sounds like these iPhone Preferences Nike/Applications tabs are not available in iTunes 7.7 yet for the consumer, right (Applications doesn't show up for me either)? I don't have either of them, though Applications shows up fine in my "iTunes Library", once I turn it on in prefs (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcast, Radio, Applications, etc.)

I don't think you are at all. I just restored my iPod touch and expected to be waiting quite a while, and it finished seemingly much faster. It normally takes _forever_ to put 14 GB of music on it.
