I see we've hit the point where we pull arbitrary dates out of our nether regions with no sourcing?

If I didn't use desktop iTunes so much this wouldn't bother me, hurry up apple!

jordancrombie92 · Nov 6, 2012, 08:47 AM

as much as I like the look of the new iTunes (and im getting annoyed its still not been released) I feel like it needs an even bigger redesign. something a bit more different and intuitive.

it's tuesday, it's not out yet. Maybe next week.

It's kind of stupid that the iPad mini is out and requires iTunes 11 but there's no iTunes 11.

I'm also hearing whispers that it'll be out at the end of November at the latest.

It "requires" only in so much as with the current version, there's no pretty picture if the iPad on the summary tab when you're syncing.

When did Tuesday become the designated day for apple software updates?

iTunes 10 and 9 were released on the first and second Wednesday of the month, respectively. So, maybe today's the day...

They said "before the end of November." So it could mean end of November, but I'm hopeful that them stating it that way instead of just saying "end of November" means they'll release it before the last week of the month.

Yeah, I know. It's fairly unlikely...

mattburley7 · 09:15 AM

Going with it being out on either the 14th or 28th. Those are both Wednesdays. Wont be out the week of the 21st due to apple being on vacation.

towg · Nov 7, 2012, 09:43 AM

It'll be funny if its released on 30/11/2012 at 23.59...

(Awaits American responses saying I got the date wrong...)

mattburley7 · Nov 7, 2012, 09:53 AM

there have been a few iTunes releases in the past that happened in November and they have came out around the 14th and 21st

bwaadass · Nov 7, 2012, 10:30 AM

My vote is for 28 Nov. Firstly it gives them more time to prepare the software. Secondly Apple will want their engineers to be in the office immediately after the launch (to monitor/fix bugs), and not disappearing off on Thanksgiving holidays.

So much of the Apple ecosystem hangs off iTunes they have to make this launch a success, particularly given the iOS Maps debacle.

This makes sense, although I hope the extra time they're spending means no/few bugs and they won't need to be around the next week since there will be no or few bugs to deal with

I'm afraid it will look pretty and be missing many of the features in the current version.

How about burning a CD for your car?
How about backing up to DVDs?
How about a version for Win7 (32bit)? (Or Vista/XP for some people?)
Etc.

jordancrombie92 · Nov 7, 2012, 11:46 AM

fingers crossed it comes today

want something new from Apple to play with!

haha thanks! have a bit of optimism, who knows it could be ready today.

i know the chances are slim but still could be today!

mattburley7 · Nov 7, 2012, 12:11 PM

anyone think the itunes store will go down and that will be a sign of release? i ask this because its getting a major redesign and could go down to get updated to the new look.

I don't think they're working to a schedule any more, it will only come out once it's 100% finished - whatever day of the week that is.

They might keep perfecting it until November 30th, just because they can.
