    Not sure I understand Genius Shuffle. How is it different from what Genius already does?

    But, have they fixed Itunes for PC so that it doesn't lag and hang so much. I understand it is made for Macs, but some of us don't have the luxury of having them. An increase in speed, esp during start-up would be great!

    9:02am, update software in iTunes says I have the latest at version 11.05. Tried downloading from Apple and it's downloading version 11.05 even though the iTunes page talks about version 11.1. EDIT: Tried again a few minutes later and downloading 11.1 from Apples website. iTunes still says 11.05 is the latest version though while trying to update from there.

    It is good that they are releasing iOS 7 days before the new iPhones. But I really think Apple should have released iTunes yesterday instead of releasing everything today.

    Still nothing for me.  I am in Arizona and I have nothing in Software Update and apple.com still shows 11.0.5 for me.

    It's not up to (just) Apple ... the record labels have to agree to it before it can happen.
