Opinion and Analysis

Apple has updated iTunes to version 7.7.1. The release comes hot on the heels of iTunes 7.7, which appeared alongside the iPhone 3G earlier this month.

iTunes 7.7.1 us available for Mac OS X and Windows. As usual, Apple is being coy about what the update delivers, saying only that it "includes fixes to improve stability and performance."

Version 7.7 added support for the App Store and for the Remote application for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Some users reported various problems after installing iTunes 7.7. Complaints included corruption of data stored on iPods as well as a long stall (as in several minutes) occurring after connecting iPods.

Such negative reports came from users of both the Mac and Windows versions of the music software, though the problems did not appear to be widespread.

At the time of writing, the update had not appeared at Apple Downloads, and was only available via Software Update (Mac) or Apple Software Update (Windows).
