Apple Releases iTunes 12.5.1: Better, But Still a Bloated Pig

Apple today released tvOS 10, the latest operating system designed for the fourth-generation Apple TV, bringing a range of improvements that make it easier to locate and watch content on Apple’s set-top box. Unfortunately, Apple TV owners will have to wait a bit longer for the update.

Like photos, Apple Music has an all-new design so users would enjoy a better quality of music.

Also arriving today is Picture-in-Picture mode. The most noticeable change to the software has come in the form of aesthetics as Apple Music has been completely redesigned to give “greater clarity and simplicity” to the music service. Your video floats above your desktop in any corner of the screen.

It should be noted that several users have complained on Twitter that after updating their iTunes to v12.5.1, they were not able to access their iCloud Music Library.

What’s frustrating, though, is that after you dismiss this warning message, it will pop right back up again as it attempts to reconnect.

Unfortunately, this makes it hard to really begin to use the upgraded version of iTunes, as the message continually interrupts. The system will download the software and will notify users once it is installed. Apple says that feature will be added later this fall.
