Just a quick post to point out a couple of interesting things when upgrading to iTunes 11.1.
Firstly, if you try to download iTunes from Internet Explorer on WHS v1, Apple will unfortunately redirect you to download the 64-bit version of iTunes. WHS v1 is, of course, a 32-bit operating system so it just won't work. You'll get an error such as:
"The image file xxxx\iTunes64Setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine time other than the current machine"
To get around this, we found that the following link from Apple still allows a 32-bit copy of iTunes 11.1 to be downloaded:

Note that Apple still doesn't support running iTunes on WHSv1 so you may receive an error saying "Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer". If you do (which you probably will on Windows Home Server v1), then don't forget about our free tool which modifies the iTunes install package to enable running on WHS no problems :) - we've retested this for iTunes 11.1 and it's good to go.
