Yes, we are all into OS X Yosemite, the new iPad, the Mac mini, the 27 ″ Retina iMac… But Apple releases a security update and a new version of iTunes for users who have decided to stay on OS X Mavericks. This security update is 2014-005 1.0 and requires a restart of our machine to carry out the correct installation, what they do not specify is that it corrects exactly.
As for the new version of iTunes it is iTunes 12.0.1 and it adds a lot of improvements that help the correct functioning of the software in OS X Mavericks. According to Apple's description, this new update makes using iTunes easier and more fun for the user, let's see what improvements it brings.
Obviously the changes are aesthetic and functional, we can say that Apple wants to bring the aesthetics of OS X Yosemite to Mavericks. But we are going to see in more detail the improvements implemented in this new iTunes in addition to the aesthetic change that it entails the red icon on our dock.
The first and most important thing is the compatibility with OS X Yosemite, in addition the option to share our purchases from iBooks Store, iTunes Store and App Store, with 6 relatives is added (this option requires iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite) and to activate it we only have to configure it from the iCloud panel of System Preferences. It also offers the option of "Recently Added", a renewed window to view the information of the songs, a new option to create our lists and ultimately a greater integration between the Apple store and our iTunes library.
If you did not skip the update automatically, you can access it from the emu of > Software Update or by accessing the Mac App Store directly from your Mac. Remember that the update will force you to restart your Mac, so better update when you have no pending tasks.
