Apple Releases iTunes 10.5 Ahead of iOS and iCloud Launch

I thought WiFi Sync activity was limited to when you're on a power source (or at least had that option)?

You can most certainly sync via Wi-Fi without being on power. I do this every morning. Of course, the battery is not being charged, and I believe that is the reason Apple cautions users to be on power. If, for example, your battery drained completely while attempt a Wi-Fi sync, well you can imaging the results.

When I get home from work, I normally sit my iPhone (not connected to a power source of my iMac) down on my computer desk and forget about it for a while. I noticed that in iTunes, my iPhone always shows up and I can sync, backup, etc... all wirelessly. This is really nice and I think they way Apple envisioned it. As long as your battery has enough charge to complete the desired task, there is really no need to connect it to a power source. Of course, the speed of wireless syncing is not quite that of wired syncing, but there are always trade-offs when using one technology over another.
 
I was able to download and install iTunes 10.5 fine, but since I plugged my iPhone 4 into the computer I've had a spinning wheel and an unresponsive itunes. I've tried unplugging all peripherals, restarting everything, closing all other applications, etc.... still just a spinning wheel.

Is anyone else having this issue? Can't find anything on the Apple support forums.

EDIT: Worked after leading it plugged in for about five minutes and now seems to be fine

im having same problems with itunes & spinning ball....if this is a sign of things to come i might wait a week for all the bugs to get sorted before downloading ios5
 
It's weird, I had to go to apple.com/iTunes to download mine. When I clicked check for "software update" in the mac menu bar, nothing came up. Same for clicking "check for updates" in iTunes. Maybe because it was on the beta version?

And just now a new 10.5.1 beta was released to devs which includes iTunes Match. Looks like there will be another update when Match goes live.

Any devs care to report on the success rate of matching?

After downloading GM seed over 10.5 beta 9 with iTunes Match, and then installing iTunes 10.5 GM. And then discovering it does not contain iTunes Match. I then noticed iTunes 10.5.1. It looks like it has wiped the whole iTunes Match server. After 10.5.1 was installed, it gave me a new option to "Add this computer" it has then started again: Step 1: Gathering information about your iTunes Library. In the release notes it also adds: iTunes 10.5.1 beta 1 includes several performance enhancements and bug fixes, and is a required update for all subscribers to iTunes Match beta. iTunes Match is not included in the iTunes 10.5 GM release
Your iCloud libraries will be deleted at the end of this beta.
 
Ugh.

Installed 10.5 before reading how it broke the match beta. Then I went to install 10.5b9 again, and now my itunes language is polish (i think).

Yeah if you were on a beta beforehand it wouldn't show up in software update. Just download manually and install over it :)

Just music? Or will video be stored also? Would be a great addition on long trips to move our kids vids while in the car.

All Music and iTunes purchased TV Shows I believe.
 
Anyone else here having problems with 10.5 and auto hide taskbar on Windows? My taskbar doesnt auto reappear when itunes window is maximised.

I am having the same problem. Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, repaired disc permissions, followed instructions to remove mobile device packages and kext files. Still nothing.

I'm having the same problem too. I get beach balled after I plug my iPhone in every time. I'll see if leaving it plugged in for five minutes solves the issue for me.

EDIT: iTunes unfroze after 5 - 10 minutes. I just ejected my phone and plugged it back in and it didn't freeze again so hopefully it's fine now.

I am confused, when I go to apple website and go to downloads than click on iTunes 10.5 it sends me to 10.4.1 so which is it? 10.5 out or not because of matching screw up? Very confused here. And shouldn't 10.7.2 be out first before iTunes 5 because of iCloud? Very confused , I know iTunes and Mac OS X are separate but since it as a lot to do with iCloud I thought it would make a lot more sense to have 10.7.2 out first.
 
This could and auto sync to all devices BS is gonna cause massive problems fro alot of people.. i will turn it off as soon as i get it:eek: i dont want alll my data constantly moving around at all ..

there will be law suits from folks who didnt know that all their songs and photos were gona be moved to their ipad and phone using up $5000 worth of data overages

Will match service also work with video? And do we have access to movie video from iCloud?
 
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store.

Just as a public service announcement: This happened to me with some TV shows I bought from iTunes a few years back. I had purchased 3 episodes of Battlestar Galactica. When Apple enabled the re-downloading and streaming of purchased TV shows a few months ago, all the shows I'd purchased within the past year or two showed as being available to re-stream, so I deleted those shows from my hard drive to get back some space. But those 3 old BSG episodes were not available for re-download, so I had to keep them on my HDD. I asked Apple Tech support and they tell me that those BSG episodes, though available today for purchase from iTunes, have been updated or somehow modified from the versions of the same shows I purchased years back. As such, the EXACT version of the shows I purchased is technically not available for purchase any longer, and I can't re-download those episodes.
 
Fantastic :)

I do wish that movies would be added to iCloud (so you can download previous movie purchases) but I guess that would be too much space. :(

Looks like it is starting to become a common issue. I have been on spinning ball for 10+ minutes with no change. Can we start a support thread somewhere?

Edit: Just want to check is everybody else having normal itunes functionality until they plug in the phone?
 
I think I have discovered a flaw. It does this on my home MacBook Pro and my work Windows 7 machine.
Let's say I want to play some Nine Inch Nails. I keep my Column Browser always on top. So I click in the Artist column and hit the 'N' key. This brings me to the first artist that begins with 'N'. Then I use my trackpad or mouse wheel to scroll on down to 'Ni..." but with this release it jumps back to the very top of the list.
