Apple Updates iTunes to Version 8.1.1 With Accessibility Fixes

Today, Apple updated iTunes, its popular multimedia playback and management software, to version 8.1.1. The changes include fixes for VoiceOver support and iPhone/iPod Touch syncing, though what these fixes are specifically is unclear at present, save for the ability to tab from field to field through the iTunes interface, which had ceased to work in version 8.1. (Update! - This bug will not be entirely corrected until you have restarted VoiceOver after updating iTunes.)

Support for HD movie rentals on Macs and PC’s, something previously only offered on the AppleTV set-top box, was also part of the update.

In the last several days, Apple has added nearly three hundred new movie rentals to the iTunes Store, as reported by Ars Technica.
