New download options were recently added to iTunes 11 and iOS 6. Customers that use the iTunes Store for purchasing content now have the option to save their movies or music so that they can be downloaded later. This feature is pretty simple, on the face of it, but a very useful one. Though it should be kept in mind that this particular feature is only available in the countries where iTunes in the Cloud is supported. Apple’s website has the full list of countries that are supported.
To use the download later option in iTunes Store, a customer must have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch that is running iOS 6.0 firmware or higher. For Mac and PC machines iTunes 11 is mandatory. When the customer makes a large purchase they will be given the options “Download” or “Later.” If the customer selects “Later,” the content is then stored in the Purchased section from where it can be downloaded at any time as per the customer’s will. The option applies to movies, Season Pass, TV episodes, music box sets or music content that will take a lot of time to download as compared to one track or album.

Last week we reported that iTunes 11 could be launching in a few days’ time, and it looks like that could be the case and if the folks at the Wall Street Journal have it right, iTunes 11 could be launching as soon as today. As some of you guys remember, iTunes 11 was expected to be launched towards the end of October, but due to delays, Apple pushed the release to November, which makes it launch today make so much more sense. iTunes 11 is expected to be a major revamp and will introduce a new user interface and enhanced iCloud integration, although if it does launch today, we expect that we will get the full run down of its changes and new features. Either way we’ll keep our eyes peeled for the update, so check back with us later on in the day to see if it pans out!

The next iteration of iTunes, iTunes 11, is expected to be a major revamp but unfortunately the launch of iTunes 11 has been delayed. No specific date was given for its release apart from a November time frame, although if the reports are to be believed, it looks like we can expect to see iTunes 11 go up for download in the next few days. According to reports, it seems that Apple has sent out requests to artists and music labels for high resolution images and galleries for its iTunes 11 release, which according to the message, will be “within the next few days”. We have no way to confirm whether these reports are accurate so we suggest you take it with a grain of salt for now, but since we are still in November and Apple did promise a release in November, it wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination if this was real. In anyway case we’ll keep an eye out for the next few days and see if the rumors pan out, so stay tuned for more updates!

An update to iTunes normally isn’t the most exciting news, but iTunes 11 promises to be the biggest update to Apple’s content engine in years. And during Apple’s iPad Mini event, it was promised before the end of October; Apple was sure enough that they put a countdown on the iTunes page. Well, they’ve had to change plans–no, it wasn’t because of the Scott Forstall affair–and now iTunes 11 is due sometime in November. (more…)

Something touched me deep inside… the day the music died.”

Ping, Apple’s foray into music-centric social networking, hasn’t seen much in the way of updates since it was announced two years ago, and now the folks in Cupertino are set to shut it down on September 30th. Struck with the sudden urge to sign-up for the service and take it for a spin before it goes offline? You’re out of luck. Visiting the network’s home in iTunes reveals that Cook and Co. are no longer accepting new members. From here on out, you’ll just have to find other avenues to keep tabs on what tunes are playing within your social circles.
