Apple has released two new versions of its desktop music app, iTunes. First, iTunes 11.0.5, which is available on general release, makes a number of under-the-hood changes to "iTunes in the Cloud," Apple's iCloud-powered music service. In addition, and for registered developers only, Apple has also released iTunes 11.1 beta 2, which is expected to make similar alternations to the prerelease software.
