Apple has recently unveiled a new version of iTunes, 11.2.1, that fixes a bug on Mac OS X.
When many people installed iTunes 11.2, which was released on Thursday, their “/Users” folder became hidden. The update fixes that issue.
Here’s Apple’s explanation:
Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later Impact: A local user can compromise other local user accounts Description: Upon each reboot, the permissions for the /Users and /Users/Shared directories would be set to world-writable, allowing modification of these directories. This issue was addressed with improved permission handling. For information on the general content of iTunes 11.2.1, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5434.The update can be downloaded by heading to the Mac App Store.
