Apple Releases iTunes 10.5 Ahead of iOS and iCloud Launch

[Eolian]

I'm excited about iOS 5 and the potential that iCloud offers, but given the past fiascos with major iTunes revisions I'm gonna certainly watch and wait before updating ...

 

[M7ck]

Still says my 10.4 is the latest version

 

[zerolight]

I dont understand, I click the link in the first post and it sends me to a download of 10.4

They posted the wrong link.

So does this fix the horrible interface or does Apple not think there is anything wrong with it?

Wi-Fi syncing is off by default.

iCloud backups are controlled via the device in the Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup setting. You won't see that until tomorrow...

 

[bandofbrothers]

Downloaded iTunes update and went very quickly for me.

Bring on iOS 5 !

i wonder how itunes match will work as far as the user creating files, naming them songs, and using them to get the actual songs from the itunes store under the blanket of the match service.

Probably takes a fingerprint of the file, just like Shazam does to ID the tune.

WTH, mine says 'Your software is up to date'.

I'm on the latest beta of iTunes 10.5.

Bless your heart

 

[Yumunum]

Match isn't out yet? That ruins half the point of iOS 5 for me. Oh well, I'll get it soon enough.

Wi-Fi sync has nothing to do with iCloud

10.7.2 please, itunes 10.5 is running so slow, stalls and i'm seeing beach balls galore! happy but disappointed....

I followed the link you provided, but when I click to download it send me to an ever refreshing page with no way to initiate a download. Must be busy.

It finally showed up, thanks.

Well, both exist. You will have your iCloud backup of your device, as well as a local backup in iTunes if you are syncing via Wi-Fi.

 

[alfiesred47]

Just downloaded. BTW, anyone have any ideas what time Apple will be releasing IOS 5 tomorrow?

I read on a news site that the Covent Garden Apple Store said midnight, but unclear whether that is tonight, or tomorrow night. Because of the time difference, UK could well be Thursday morning.

 

[Steve J0bs]

I wonder if i should download this if i already have the beta iTunes match version. Any suggestions?

Mine says that too... just go to the apple website in the iTunes tab and you can download it from there

 

[Benz63amg]

it seems like the japanee rumor is panning out, they said lion 10 7 2 and itunes 10 5 will come out BEFORE oct 12, so itunes came out, PLEASE Let lion come out today too. cant wait any longer,

 

[djrod]

funny how iTunes is not distributed by the MAS for Mac users

 

[Watabou]

Nice. Hopefully, they follow up with 10.7.2. Can't wait for iCloud. Here's hoping no one has my email name set yet.

 

[Aquaporin]

Match should give you the ability to delete songs from your cloud.

 

[applefan289]

10.7.2 please apple!!!!

And while you're at it fix the "Time Machine backup disk could not be found" issue with Time Capsule!

I meant iTunes Wi-Fi syncing not iCloud backups.

Speaking of backups, it appears that if you have iCloud backups turned on then iTunes doesn't do backups when you sync. You have to toggle iCloud backups off to backup locally to iTunes (both wirelessly and by USB). I just assumed you could do both without toggling a control on/off each time.

Has anyone figured out how to keep different views for music, podcasts etc. ? It used to display my podcasts in album view, music in list with album pics on the left side. Now, whenever I change a view in one, it changes it for all the library items.

 

[bdkennedy1]

Wi-Fi syncing was one of my most anticipated features, but it turns out that it sucks. Your iPhone/iPad still has to be plugged into a power source. Cut the cord my butt.

Wi-Fi sync has nothing to do with iCloud

The question was - can I turn off Wi-Fi syncing and iCloud backups. The answer was yes - you can control Wi-Fi syncing in iTunes. My reply was for the other half of the question - iCloud backups are controlled through the device.
