I just installed the update and the U2 album appeared for free as an iCloud download as soon as iTunes 11.4 opened.

If it is not appearing for you, make sure that your iTunes is set to "Show itunes in the Cloud purchases" under iTunes -> Preferences -> Store

What about Podcasts? Will it sync podcasts? It seems like it should be able to sync podcasts correctly and reliably across all my apple devices.

(have nothing but problems!)

Same here!
I download on the MacBook Air, sync my phone, and then they still have to re-downaload on my 5S!
 
Does that mean that I have to upgrade my MacPro 1,1 to 10.8 Mavericks in order to sync my iPhone 4S?
I had to upgrade to 10.6 for iOS 7.

Just don't upgrade your iPhone and you won't have to upgrade your computer

No. iTunes 11.4 requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. It has appeared in Software Update on my Snow Leopard machine.

Why are you not upgrading to Mavericks? It's great, unless your MacPro is older and had a crowded hard drive?

Yah, but too bad the Live stream was so messed up, and that no home solutions were showcased. I was really hoping for more than just a phone and watch.

Poor Phil seemed to be tired and struggling today.
 
Downloading this update broke iTunes for me and kept iTunes from recognizing my iOS devices. I got a System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext error and so have multiple threads of people on the Apple Support boards using multiple OS.

I received the same message and the installer failed three times. That never happened before.
I wish apple would fix the usbethernet driver for 10.6. It's such a hassle to constantly reinstall v 2.3
I'm hoping that ios8 will continue to work with 10.6
 
I wish I hadn't downloaded & installed this update, the iTunes store is all messed up (so far that's all I've really checked). If I do a search for a movie it opens a white page with grey headers and no information, no images, nothing to click on. I tried a few other searches, same glitch.

So frustrating!!

Also frustrating, don't see any movies sales or specials section on the main iTunes store page. If that is no longer available, well, grrrrrrr. :mad:
 
Someone might have noticed this in the iT12 beta, but it looks like Siri's "Shazam" will automatically communicate with iTunes .. I just noticed this in 11.4 :cool:

Anyone having an issue which prevents them from downloading free apps? I keep getting a popup box that says something about the family sharing of free apps. I can't download anything form the App Store.
 
Got the same message when I updated iTunes also.

The system extension “//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

When I click on my attached iPhone 5 in iTunes, Music, all the music that is currently on my phone is greyed out and has a dottted circle next to it and can't play. EXCEPT the U2 album. Not sure what this means ????

I still have iTunes 11.3.1 (2) and the U2 album appeared. For some reason 11.4 is not showing up in the App Store's Software Update list.
