iTunes 11.4 also supports OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and later, so those on Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion will not be forced to upgrade their OS X version in order to sync a device running iOS 8 with their Mac.

I don’t understand why the co-called tech illuminati always dump on iTunes. It just works and works well. I have no issues to report and am a very satisfied user.

Likewise.

They do it because it's "cool" to do it.

They need to update the 12 beta. I had to revert to 11.3 to install iOS 8
