First taste of Apple's iCloud available with iTunes 10.3, iOS App Store

Just moments after Apple announced its new iCloud service, the company's iOS App Store and iTunes Store were dynamically updated with a new "Purchased" tab for re-downloading software and content, and iTunes 10.3 was released for Mac and PC.

Where is iTunes 10.3?? I just checked and it says mine is up to date (10.2.2) and that is the only version available for download via Apple's Support site.

Also, when you click on Download iTunes 10.3, it just takes you to the download page for 10.2.2. Maybe Apple is getting everything ready but the .dmg file is last piece they haven't connected yet?

Yes - doesn't seem to be available yet. I wonder how retroactive it will be? My wife's old ipod died - long ago - and it was synced with a long mothballed computer who's HDD is on a shelf somewhere. I wonder if she'll be able to get her old downloads this way. Would save me a lot of hassle. :)

Would also make purchasing a new Mac easier when it comes time to load music, etc. I mean we should already have a backup, but sometimes you just want to load apps, music, etc. yourself for a fresh start.

Thanks for sharing, Boosted Brian! Downloading now, while watching a replay of the keynote on Apple's site.

Here you go.... This is the only music I have every purchased from the iTunes store. However, it also has every app I ever purchased on my iPhone, regardless whether I deleted it off my device.

Pretty cool.

Edit: It is now, at the time of editing this post, available in Software Update.

As of right now, it is not available via Software Update. You'll have to go to the link above.

Once you have it, click on Purchased under the Store heading in the sidebar, then you'll see a Download Previous Purchases at the bottom right.

All my music, apps and books show up.

Not mentioned in the keynote and not there - TV Shows and Movies - so you'll still need to make sure all those are backed up. Hopefully they're working on these also since at least Amazon and Vudu both allow for the re-downloading/streaming of this purchased content.

And no matching service available yet, that I can find.

How can I authourize more than 5 computers.... pia:Angry:

You can't, you can only authorize 5 per Apple ID. Which quite honest, given the prices you pay for stuff, is definitely more than fair.

Weird. I have the new version but can only see my purchased apps and books. No music. And I have purchased music in my library! =\

Early conclusion is the music option seems to be US only at least right this second. Maybe they're still cinching down some legalese on the licensing...

That would make sense. Give it some time, Apple is literally breaking new ground with all of the big labels here.

Fair enough. I don't have anything with an iOS anymore anyway! Looking forward to my Android contract running out...

Pretty sure a lot of people are going to be saying that. its funny how owners of other mobile devices are always comparing to the iPhone. The iPhone never compares to android. Read between the lines, iPhone and iOS is the standard.

Its almost as if not owning an iPhone is going against the trend. Odd how things have changed over the last 5 years for Apple and the Mac brand. Give it 10 - 15 more years and owning a PC will be considered the "non-conformist" choice. Ahhhh. The circle of life.

All my WP7 friends are crying foul for Apple copying Microsoft here...my thoughts on this are "what?"
