Apple has released iTunes 10.4 which is now designed for OS X Lion.
You can now use iTunes with OS X Lion’s new Full-Screen App capability, which allows you to use iTunes and other apps without distractions. Navigate between your full-screen apps with a simple gesture.
Advertisement: OS X Lion. The world’s most advanced desktop OS advances even further. Just $29.99 at Mac App Store.
Note: iTunes is now a 64-bit Cocoa application on OS X Lion and includes a number of important stability and performance improvements. Some iTunes plug-ins may no longer be compatible with this version of iTunes. Please contact the plug-in developer for an updated plug-in compatible with iTunes 10.4.
iTunes 10.4 is available via Software Update.
And it took them HOW LONG to make iTunes Cocoa? Sheesh.
Is it 64 bit on Snow Leopard as well? I’m not upgrading to Lion until the .1 release to let it shake out any stability issues.
No, it is not 64 bit on SL.
Given the size of most Mac screens these days (mine is 30″, my wife’s is 27″) is there that much demand for full screen apps? Safari running full screen with a narrow strip of web page down the middle looks silly
Don’t forget all those MacBook Airs they’ve been selling. And the fact that laptop sales are generally outpacing desktops.
Just wanted to point that out. The vast majority of Mac users (I’m assuming) do not have such large screens, so full screen apps are pretty important.
like @spade and @GeeOne hinted towards the fact that the majority of computer users these days are laptop users which have small screens.
Awe the days of the desktop are coming to an end for the average user. Don’t get me wrong im sure desktops will be around in offices for a long time still
All very true. Ironically the first Mac I’m updating to Lion is my two month old Air. I guess full screen will make a difference to that.
Am I the only one who doesn’t get all the hoopla around Full-screen applications?
You’d think that if they were SO important to be full-screen they would’ve done it in OSX Ocelot. For goodness sakes, Windows has had full screen since forever ago.
It will be interesting to see if the memory allowance from going 64bit finally speeds back up iTunes for my massive library. Fingers crossed
Anyone else having trouble updating to iTunes 10.4 in Lion ? I get an error every time it tries to install.
@Carlton…same here…Lion up and running, odd scrolling (just gotta get used to it)…side scrolling pages in Safari…strange but again…just an adjustment…but the non install of iTunes and others…not good
Instead of full screen I’d lime to see a split-screen capability added to the OS.
Am I the only one who can’t get the visualizer to work in fullscreen mode?
Hey! The put the dam buttons back in the right orientation! I’m sold. 😉
*damn
Stupid auto-correct. Now I have to worry about it on my Mac just like on iOS…Not sure about that one yet.
