iTunes 7.7 available now

Well, we weren't "wrong" yesterday, just off the mark by about 12 hours or so. As of approximately 3:15 a.m. EDT, iTunes 7.7 is now appearing in Software Update.

This is the description from the download screen:

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home - a free download from the App Store.

Thus far, I can't find any specific UI changes or option settings, so I'm assuming that the elusive "Applications" menu item will appear as soon as the App Store launches.

We'll post more details as they become available. For now, I'm going back to bed in the hopes that my BlackBerry's blinking lights won't keep me up.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Update: In my partially-awake stupor I neglected to read the information about the new "Remote application" -- looks like this will be one of the first free Apple-published apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch, when the App Store launches on Friday!

Not on my Mac nor my PC ,

My PC crashes every time i call it on, PC OS (XP) itself giving me a notice that it memory is full, it can save anything in ITUNES or in any other,... and then crashes... every time (since i install a new update)!!!

...Just want to know if they( Apple) willing to pay for my F...Up hard drive on my PC (which i need to restart every time i put the system on)

I have 70 GB of WAV files on ITUNES. Before yesterday i had a very nice music station, now not anymore! I think i going to use JET audio (Cowon) for the future, it is not so convinient as ITUNES, but its not crashes 4 times a year, with every new automatic update! I cant understand how that possible, Or Steve is not in charge anymore? Last two years Apple heading more to the mistakes than anything else... I'm dedicated Apple user, who actually not so dedicated anymore.


...15 minutes ago i've solved the 7.7 problems on A PC (XP).
All you need to do, is to go preferences/software/remove, then just remove Bonjour and Apple Portable Device Manager... And then the rest of the newly updated 7.7 working just perfectly... I dont think you'll miss those parts which odesnty work properly, But if occasionally you have got those needless things (I... Blah Blah), you might miss your boat!

Installed 7.7, and when I attach the ist gen iPhone, after iPhoto opens to read the pix taken on the phone, iTunes does not recognize the iPhone. Just goes into 'not responding' mode, requiring a force quit.

Any helpful thoughts?

FYI Go to apple.com/downloads. It says the version of iTunes is 7.6 but when you click to dl'd, it gives you 7.7. Enjoy!

On apple.com, the "download" tab still shows 7.6. The "ipod-itunes" tab has the 7.7 link. I tried "check for updates" through my 7.6 itunes and it couldn't find it either. Use apple.com and "ipod-itunes." 4 min download on DSL.

App Store seems to be up on the east coast as of 7:10 AM EST. Just downloaded nine apps, including purchase of the MLB.com At Bat app...now it's just a matter of waiting it out for that 2.0 firmware to actually use the damn things!

Ohhh, it's going to be refresh central on that "Check for Updates" button. :D
