Apparently, within the hour we should see the official update of the iOS 7 operating system. In the meantime, Apple managed to release the update iTunes 11.1, which brings several new features as well as compatibility with iOS 7.
The first major news is iTunes Radio, a feature that Apple introduced back in June when it unveiled iOS 7. If you still don't know what it is, it's a Spotify-like music streaming service where you can listen to any music in the iTunes database without owning it. The service works like an internet radio and itself offers 250 preset stations. It is available for free with ads, if you subscribe to iTunes Match you can listen to music without ads. The service is not yet available here, but if you log in with an American account, you can use it.
Another new feature is Genius Shuffle. As opposed to the normal function of shuffling songs from your playlist or compilation album. iTunes analyzes the songs and arranges them so that they follow each other in terms of genre and rhythm. With another click, Genius Shuffle shuffles the tracks again. Definitely an interesting new way to listen to music. Podcast listeners can now create their own stations from their favorite channels. These will automatically update with each new episode. Additionally, all stations created, along with subscriptions and playback position, are synced via iCloud to the Podcasts app.
And finally, there is compatibility with iOS 7. Without a new iTunes update, you will not be able to synchronize all content with a device with iOS 7 installed. In addition, the organization and synchronization of applications will be a little easier, as already revealed new preview for OS X 10.9 Mavericks developers.
The update is currently available directly at Apple website, should also appear in the Mac App Store later.
is it tied to ip or account origin? for example, if I go through the US proxy, will I listen to it?
open a US account right away
99% of the time I would say that the origin of the account. I logged into the American account normally via a Czech IP.
I manually downloaded and installed iTunes 11.1 on Win 7, iOS 7 update on iPhone 5 is still not available. I probably won't make it :D
iTunes also reported that version 11.0.5 was up to date, so I manually downloaded a newer one from the Internet. Otherwise, I checked for updates on iOS 7 before downloading and it didn't pop up either on iPad or iPhone.
You have to go through the Apple website
iOS7 – it's already running :-) Size around 700 MB
Did you get it via "Check for Updates" in iTunes?
No, via an update on the iPad
It seems to me that their servers are crashing a bit :D it tells me this for several hours during the update and then it fails.
Ondra: that's right :(
Well, there has never been such a hype around the new iOS, so everyone must have it right away. Including me :D
So I'm done too :-) Download failed :-(
so does it work for anyone?
first time I can't drag ios
I got to it through the apple software, it crashes and icloud panel for win is also updated, but it still crashes
it's overloaded, it's probably going to be a disaster, if you put iPhone and iPad into it like that, it's going to be a mess
why does it remind me of the same thing as when iOS 5 was released :d
almost no one could pull either
iOS7 gave an error when downloading: "Software update failed while downloading ios7 an error occurred" and it won't let me download at all :D it keeps giving that error. It's overwhelming, which was to be expected…
I can't update to 11.1 at all... I download a file that is 700 bytes and can't be installed :/
-.- I have 11.1, but the radio is not there
you have to set it in preferences
if I set it there, where should it be displayed? I turned it on, but I can't see it anywhere
In the bar next to the playlist..
I don't see RADIO there either. On the bar next to the STOP LIST I have INTERNET, where there is a list of Internet radio stations sorted by genre, but it was always there...? What is the problem?
I quote from the article: "The service is not yet available here, but if you log in with an American account, you can use it."
hey, I somehow missed that... thanks for the info ;-)
so after 45 minutes it just downloaded and installed itunes 11.1 … but when checking for iphone os update it says 6.1.4 is up to date :-(
I downloaded and installed iTunes 11.1 from the official website, I'm downloading iOS 7 on my iPhone, so we'll see :)
So I finally started downloading iOS 7. About 19 minutes on iPad. and iPhone approx. 30 min. so I'm anxiously waiting.
Hurrah it's already downloading... the problem was that I had a full iPhone and iTunes decided that I couldn't update and rather didn't let me know about it! end :D nj just do it guys. Anyway, it alerted me via the update on my phone, so I deleted TOMTOM Europe and then it worked via iTunes on the PC. I'd rather download it via PC, I think it will be faster than directly via the phone. The installation is 1.24GB and it tells me that I downloaded it in 59 minutes. I'm currently at 85MB. Bye ;)
So it fell for me :D I try again and again error :( So now I update directly via the phone and it still tells me that it is calculating the remaining time.
I found out that after the update I lost my saved radio streams and I have to re-download some MP3s from the cloud.. has this happened to anyone?
Why can't I download it even from the official apple website?
Thanks
It also crashed twice on my iPad, so I'll leave it for tomorrow. I'll have the iPhone downloaded any minute... so we'll see. It probably requires patience, or putting it off for later.
I already have iOS but iTunes doesn't work for me ;)
App Store, Updates
Don't you think there is no Mac App Store on Windows?
So I updated iTunes, but now unfortunately I can't connect my iPhone, it charges normally and photos can be downloaded, it just gives me some error and that's it. Does anyone know what to do with it? I've tried almost everything... Thanks a lot
I have the same problem and couldn't find a solution anywhere :-/
…same problem with iPhone 5!!!
I have the same problem and would appreciate some advice
the same problem and from what I have read everywhere, the problem is in XP... and apple is still not doing anything about it, we are just waiting for them to fix this error...
What should I do if I can't sync my iPhone with ITunes 11.1 and I already have iOS 7 downloaded? :)
It's just a shame that Apple didn't release iTunes Radio everywhere...
When downloading a new version of itunes it keeps telling me that admin intervention is needed, yet I am an admin on my laptop..? I really don't know what to do with it..
Does anyone know what to do with it?
same problem :/ it always just says an unknown error occurred
there are instructions on youtube how to get rid of it (it is an older version of iTunes) but it doesn't work, the error keeps repeating every time I connect the iPhone.. :(
Exactly, I also tried several instructions, uninstalled everything, installed, deleted, etc.
Still nothing, I really don't know anymore...
Unfortunately, same problem… iTunes keeps reporting OxE error 8000003 :o(((
I have downloaded ios7, the new version of itunes too and it reports an unknown error!! In addition, with the new ios7 I can't send or receive MMS, according to the operator I have to reset the phone in itunes! But how if I can't join it?????!!! :(((
good day how to remove error oxe8000003 iphone4 can't connect to unes. Thank you
good day how to remove error oxe8000003 iphone4 can't connect to unes. Thank you
I have the same problem, can you help me?
I use Windows XP, iphone 5 and ios7 and I still can't figure out how to connect iphone to itunes. it keeps giving me error: OxE8000003. I've already tried all the advice I could find and still the same error. Does anyone know a solution???
hi, it does exactly the same thing to me, in addition, I can't use my iPhone as a router, which worked for me without problems until iOS7. I can't find a solution to this problem anywhere on the net...
