Today, Apple rolled out the first piece of the puzzle: iTunes 10.5. Although it's been available in beta for developers since June, this is the first time that the public has been given access. What's new in the software? Hit the jump for the full change log...

Today is a big day for Apple news. If you've gotten lost in the growing pile of announcements, here's a helpful recap of the main highlights from Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" event.

October 12th is shaping up to be a big day for Apple fans, as iOS 5 launches publicly that day, and now it has been revealed that iCloud will be ready along with it.
One feature that you might have to wait a few more days for, is iTunes Match — Apple's cloud music matching service that we profiled back in august...
A while back, we ran a story that entitled: iOS 5 to Kill the Jailbreak Community? That was of course, before Apple unveiled iOS 5 at the 2011 WWDC at Moscone West.
The purpose of that article, was to call out Apple's not so subtle means of usurping the jailbreak throne by making jailbreaking less glamorous, less desirable. Essentially, Apple was planning on taking some of the best features of jailbreaking, and bake it right into their new OS.
Since then, I've tested multiple betas of iOS 5 on everything including the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. While it does make quite a few of the jailbreak community's apps — at best redundant, at worst, totally obsolete or unecesarry — it's far from the end of the world for the jailbreak community.
In fact, I strongly feel that jailbreaking can and will be reinvigorated with iOS 5; inside, I'll explain why...

Following the reset of iTunes March earlier this week, Apple just released iTunes 10.5 beta 9 for developers, a pre-release version of iTunes with iTunes Match beta. iTunes 10.5 beta 9 includes several performance enhancements and bug fixes, and is a required update for all iTunes Match beta subscribers.
If you use iTunes Match beta, remember that your iCloud libraries will be deleted at the end of this beta. This will require you to scan, match, and upload songs again. Also note that some of the features and optimizations of iTunes Match may not be available during this beta...
Adding more fuel to the fire, rumor ninja Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac reports that Apple's next iPhone will come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities. This isn't the first time we've heard about a 64GB flavor of the iPhone 5, although there's reason to believe that Apple's focus on cloud storage with iCloud refutes such a claim.
With rumors of the iPhone 4S combating the idea of completely redesigned iPhone, Apple could choose to offer a cheaper iPhone with only 8GB of onboard storage. If iCloud is the future, how does more physical storage play into Apple's vision?
For months, analysts and pundits have speculated that Apple will be unveiling two new iPhone models this year. One would be the usual model refresh, and the other would be a low-end smartphone to help make inroads with the prepaid market.
Thankfully, the speculation will soon be over, as Apple finally announced its iPhone event slated for next Tuesday. Although the two model rumor is slowly losing traction, MacRumors has uncovered something interesting regarding the theory...

Just like they did last week with the reset of iCloud backups, Apple has now scheduled a reset of iTunes Match libraries for beta testers on September 26th 9AM PST. At that time, all iCloud libraries will be deleted.
To get ready for the big reset, you will simply have to turn iTunes Match off on your computer and iOS devices. Obviously, this will not affect any of the songs that are physically stored on your computer or your iDevice...
