Apple on Wednesday released a minor update for iTunes, its media and syncing suite, addressing a problem that could occur when a device was plugged into a Mac for syncing.
The new update is currently available to download directly from Apple for OS X users. It can also be updated through the Mac App Store.
According to Apple, the update also improves compatibility with iBooks for Mac on OS X Mavericks.
The new, minor release comes just over a month after the debut of iTunes 11.1.4, which brought an enhanced Wish List, as well as new language additions. Prior to that, iTunes hadn't seen any software updates released since last November.
iTunes 11.1 debuted alongside the new iOS 7 mobile platform last September, and also added compatibility for Apple's latest handset models, the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. That update also introduced new features such as iTunes Radio and Genius Shuffle, marking the last time a significant "point-one" upgrade was issued for iTunes.

I hope it also fixes the longstanding issues with videos locking up when using Home Sharing. I've been having to restore my iTunes DB files and reinstall to a version before 11.1.x to get it to work properly.
Does it have the same installer problem as the last iTunes update did on Windows? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5821627?tstart=0 I'd rather not spend 3 days trying to fix my iTunes problems with no help from Apple tech support. They never fixed the previous Windows installer either, just left us out on our own.
News media better hurry up and start reporting%u2026 Headline tomorrow: "Apple admits MAJOR flaw in iPhone connectivity". lol
I just installed the update on my Macbook Pro (Late 2013). The interesting thing is that I have not had any problems with 11.1.4. But now... The 11.1.5 crashes instantly on startup. Have rebooted three times, tried safe mode, but still the same... Be careful out there...
