Apple Issues Minor Updates for iTunes and Apple TV

Earlier this week, Apple issued a series of minor updates for iTunes and Apple TV. Both updates focused exclusively on bug fixes, so those dreaming of an Apple TV App Store will have to keep on dreaming. According to the support document accompanying the release of the software for Apple TV, the update resolves a TV resolution issue as well as a download bug, that some users were encountering. Though Apple TV should automatically prompt you to download the new software, it can be found manually by navigating to: Settings > General > Update Software.

The iTunes update (v10.1.1) also addresses a series of bugs and performance issues. Included in the update are fixes for music video playback, syncing problems, and unexpected application crashes. It is recommended that all iTunes users update to the latest release to ensure smooth performance. The update can be obtained here, or by running Software Update from the Apple Menu.
