Apple just released an update to iTunes with version 10.1.1 which apparently fixes some issues with syncing and unexpected crashes. I personally never experienced this issue but I guess it was a problem for some of you.
iTunes 10.1.1 seems to be safe for jailbreakers and unlockers but it might be a wise thing to wait for an official confirmation from a Dev Team member. In the meanwhile, this is the changelog for iTunes 10.1.1...
The rumors have been circling for quite a while about an official iTunes cloud solution that makes streaming your music anywhere at anytime a reality. While we do think it's inevitable that iTunes will one day ride the cloud, those who are getting impatient now have an unofficial option.
mSpot is that option. An app that has been around for a while on other platforms, but just recently landed on the iPhone.
mSpot makes all of your unfulfilled fantasies about iTunes cloud storage come true; right now you can store 2GB of your music, and download the official mPlayer app free of charge. For those of you with larger music collections (note: like, everyone), mSpot offers you a fairly generous 40GB worth of storage for $3.99 a month...
In classic iTunes tradition, Apple has posted their "iTunes Rewind" for 2010. The best content from the iTunes Store is listed in different categories, from "top grossing" to "hot trends."
A huge section of iTunes Rewind 2010 is dedicated to the App Store, as one might imagine. There's a huge selection of chosen apps to check out...
Apple recently announced on the iTunes Connect website that app developers can distribute promo codes to iTunes users outside of the U.S. Previously, promo codes only worked for iTunes users in the U.S.
This news is a great thing for app users around the world. You now have the opportunity to receive codes for apps that developers wish to share for free...
With the recent release of AirPlay, Apple is working on locking down your Apple TV inhabited living rooms, and what better way to show off the technology than by offering users a freebie?
According to a report from 9 to 5 Mac, Apple is randomly sending out iTunes rental codes good for any one of the 8,000 plus movies available on the iTunes store. Of course this totally coincides with the fact that the Apple TV 2 operates on a rentals based model, so this may just be Apple wanting more users to give their service a trial run...
Call me crazy, but I'm convinced that there's a special roundtable meeting each week at Apple where all they do is sit around projector and examine what jailbreak apps released the previous week.
I can hear it now; "Uh, yeah, and uh, PhotoAlbums+! Yeah, uh, that looks like something we should have had from the, uh, very beginning, let's use that!"
Okay, so that probably doesn't happen, but PhotoAlbums+ is the latest example in a long line of Cydia store releases that will inevitably appear in an upcoming release of iOS. Why do I say this? Take a look inside and see what makes this tweak a no brainer for Photo Album users.
The developer of the popular Cydia app Wi-Fi Sync has confirmed that the current desktop versions are completely compatible with iTunes 10.1. Some are holding off due to the hopeful release of an untethered jailbreak, now that iOS 4.2.1 is right around the corner.
The news fell a little earlier today. The Beatles are now available on iTunes. Hippie! Yippie! Looking at the comments on our post about it, and also at people's reaction on Twitter, I sense that most of you aren't really happy about this.
To me, as a consumer, it's a big disappointment. I understand it's a big deal for the music industry but who cares? We're not music industry execs.
I never sat down and said to myself "gosh I wish the Beatles were on iTunes". No, I just inserted every Beatles' CD in my computer years ago and digitalized all of them. Done. I never thought about it again.
But this news is not just about me. It's about all of us, so let's see what you have to say...
Earlier today we told you about Apple having a big event tomorrow, which is centered around iTunes. At the time, we speculated that the event will most likely be to introduce iTunes Cloud, a service that would allow you to stream music from iTunes, anywhere you are.
Well, it looks like this is not going to happen, at least not tomorrow. According to the WSJ, Apple will announce tomorrow that they finally have the rights to the entire Beatles catalog and that it will be available on iTunes...
If you go to Apple.com right now, you will be greeted with the image above. What can it be? Well, the rumors have been running around for a while that Apple is preparing a cloud version of iTunes which would allow you to stream your iTunes music from anywhere.
Apple spent 1 billion dollars in a top-of-the-art data center so it's about time they get some return on investment for this. But again, with Apple you never really know what to expect...
Apple just released iTunes 10.1, bringing AirPlay to the table. iTunes 10.1 will also be necessary to update your iPhone to iOS 4.2, whenever it's released.
So far there is no indication whether iTunes 10.1 is safe for iPhone jailbreak and unlock, so my advice to you is to stay away from it until we get confirmation from the Dev Team that it is indeed safe.
Here is the changelog of iTunes 10.1...
So, 30 seconds just wasn't enough for you decide whether or not you liked the latest Miley Cyrus record? Have no fear, the iTunes Store Team understands your needs for good, unadulterated, bubble gum pop... they've got your back.
Apple recently sent out a notice informing label representatives that they will be bumping up the music preview time in the United States by a whopping 60 seconds. That's quite a lot when it seems like most songs these days are about 3 minutes of hook, and about 30 seconds of lyrics...
