About MobileMe Control Panel for Windows

This update is required for Windows computers running iTunes 9.1.1.

Earlier this month, attempting to improve the reliability of backup restore, as well as space use on iDisk, or local storage, Apple rolled out MobileMe Backup v3.2. It was a software update to its backup utility meant to be used with MobileMe. “Backup 3.2 is recommended for all users of Backup 3,” the update’s description said. “This update improves the reliability of backup restore and uses space more efficiently on your iDisk or local storage (e.g. external hard drive or DVD),” Apple explained two weeks ago.

As far as iTunes 9.1.1 is concerned, the update reportedly provides important bug fixes for several stability issues with VoiceOver, a usability issue with VoiceOver and Genius Mixes, issues with converting songs to 128 kbps AAC while syncing, and other issues that held back stability and performance.
