Along with the release of fourth beta of iOS 5, Apple has also released iTunes 10.5 Beta 4 to its registered developers. iTunes 10.5 Beta 4 is required for iOS 5 Beta 4.

This version of iTunes will not work with iOS 5 Beta 2 or earlier. In order to sync your idevices, you will require upgrading to iOS 5 Beta 3 or Beta 4. According to Apple’s release notes, users will have to perform a small workaround in order to get the upgrade up and running.

  • The version of iTunes that comes with beta 4 cannot sync devices that have the beta 2 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
    1. Sync any devices that have beta 3 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 4.
    2. Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 4.
    3. Connect the device and install the beta 4 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
    4. After installing the beta 4 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.
  • Videos purchased from the iTunes Store do not play on a 2nd generation AppleTV over AirPlay with iTunes 10.5.
