iTunes 10.5.3 Released
iTunes 10.5.3 has been released, the update includes support for the new iBooks 2 and iTunes U initiatives on iOS, and allows syncing of interactive iBooks to an iPad. The download weighs in around 100MB and overall it’s a fairly minor iTunes update, but it’s worth downloading to keep on top of things, and it may be required for the next iOS update.
Download iTunes 10.5.3
There are three ways to get the latest iTunes:
- Download from Apple

Downloading from Apple is the best way to get the update at the moment, with iTunes not yet informing all users that the update is available.
