Ever notice that you've sampled a great song, or movie trailer in iTunes and forgot it? well using iCloud, iTunes now offers a Preview history button, iTunes "remembers" what you watched, or listened to.  Say you preview a great song at work on your iPod Touch and then left your iPod at the office, no problem, just select the Preview history button in iTunes on your iMac when you get home, and the song is right at your fingertips to preview again or purchase - download music right from the comfort of  your home.

Portable content via iCloud

With the new iTunes 11, Apple has provided a compelling reason this iTunes update should be your next download.  The latest version of  iTunes is simply the best way to enjoy your movies, music, and TV shows from the iTunes Store. Download iTunes 11

5 Reasons you should switch from a PC to a Mac

By @EverNoticeThat

Everybody's moving to Apple products, from the hot new iPhone 5, to the amazing iPad and Apple TV.  Mac To The Future is here to show you how life can be better by moving to the Mac.

1 - Your Mac runs Windows, and Windows apps.

One of the biggest misconceptions Windows users may have, is that you think you won't be able to use your favorite software when switching to the Mac: but nothing could be further from the truth. 

Believe it or not, you can install Windows on your new Mac and run applications without having to leave anything behind.  Boot into the Windows OS, or the Mac OS and you'll find that having the best of both worlds makes switching to the Mac a great option.

2 - Work with your favorite PC files on your Mac

Are you the creative type? no matter which professional software applications you've used on the PC, the Mac allows you to continue to work with the most popular filetypes such as: .mp3, .doc, .pdf, .mpg, .ppt, .jpg and more.

Transfer your music from your PC and listen to it on your Mac.  Videos and documents just work, and Apple provides regular updates to their popular iTunes software for music, video, and app downloads.

3 - Will my Mac run Microsoft Office? - You bet!

With Microsoft Office for the Mac, PC users can feel comfortable knowing that switching to the Mac allows you to continue using Word, Excel, and Powerpoint to create amazing documents and presentations, as well as opening files sent from a PC, working on them on your Mac, and sending the completed document or file back seamlessly.
