    iPhone backup password

    Hi all, I think I found a pretty nasty bug in iPhone backup process. Please advise if anybody had a similar issue. I had to send my iPhone 6 for a battery replacement so I wanted to make a full backup. I used iTunes on my MacBook and it asked me for a backup password - honestly, had no idea...

    iPhone 7/Plus Streaming 4K HDR content through iPhone 7

    I have several iTunes movies available in 4K HDR, however I don’t have a screen to play them on. My friends have a 4K tv which will be getting the Airplay 2 update. So while I know my iPhone 7 can’t play 4K HDR movies, I was wondering if it’d be possible to Airplay them to my friend’s tv. Does...

    Cleaning up iTunes Library, need advice.

    Hi, I have about 35,000 songs in my iTunes Library (I use iTunes Match) and there are many albums with duplicate tracks from over the years copying and pasting the tracks from Plex, to iTunes, and back again etc. I need some type of App that gets rid of duplicate songs WITHIN an albums folder...

    Delete on iTunes not working with External Drive

    I have my iTunes Media folder on an external drive, formatted in APFS. When I delete a song I have ripped from a CD, the only prompt I get is whether I want to delete from iCloud Music Library and nothing else. Nothing goes in my Trash. The song effectively disappears or enters some kind of...

    Future of Home Sharing (iTunes & Apple TV)

    I know a lot of changes are coming with the slashing of iTunes. Also streaming is basically a norm these days. All my CD's ripped in ALAC, All my DVD's are archived digitally in iTunes. I even started putting my BD collection on iTunes. The ecosystem has treated me nicely for many many years. I...

    iTunes doesn't recognise iPhone

    iTunes can not recognise the iPhone . While searching for solutions I deleted the iTunes Lockdown folder in the Library instead of just the content of the folder. Silly me. How can regain that folder and how can I get iTunes to recognise my iPhone. I’ve been around the internet and tried...

    Play Button [New to Mac]

    Am I the only one using Apple Music rather than Spotify? The sound quality on Apple is a lot better than the other. My problem is the behavior of the play button on Mac. When I want to play music and press the play button, instead of iTunes, it plays the previous video I watched. On youtube, it...

    iPod touch Why can't I backup my iPod touch to iTunes?

    I have a first generation iPod touch (Model: A1213). It is running 3.1.3. I am trying to backup it on my Mac which is running iTunes 12.9.5.5 and I am on macOS Mojave 10.14.5. iTunes does not let me back it up. It is all greyed out. Whilst I am trying to make a backup, I am also interested...

    Deleted files from iTunes on External Drive but not ending up in Trash

    I'm having a problem with a 4TB OWC external drive that I use as my iTunes media folder. It's APFS formatted. When I delete a track from iTunes, I don't get asked whether I want to permanently delete the track or just remove from iTunes. I just get asked whether I want to delete from my iCloud...

    Does anyone have a solution for missing album artwork when using iCloud Music Library/iTunes Match?

    So far iTunes Match (on its own, I don't subscribe to AM) has been an awesome way to access my library from my work computer, but this missing artwork bug is slowly killing me. For some reason random albums' artwork fail to sync to other devices. After a bunch of googling it seems like this is...

    No sound when playing music in iTunes

    I'm not sure whether this belongs in the iOS or Mac forums, but hope it's ok here. I've been in touch with Rogue Amoeba support over this as it involves Audio Hijack and Fission along with iTunes on the Mojave and on iOS (iPhone XR). They have been extremely helpful, but have not been able, so...

    "iTunes Device support update" does it break iTunes 12.6.3?

    Has anyone used the iTunes Device support update yet? It was out this week but I fear possible grim consequences :confused: I DO NOT want to use iTunes past 12.6.3 and I'm afraid this update could ruin or update my iTunes 12.6.3 to a newer version where I will not be able to control apps...

    iTunes Doesn't See Photos

    I know, I'm old school. I still sync photos to my iPhone XS from my Photos library, via iTunes. How else would I get DSLR photos from my Mac to phone? In their proper album? There's no way that I know of. So in iTunes, I go to the iPhone screen, then the photos tab on the left, and check...

    General iTunes crashing redeeming code

    I’ve been seeing a problem lately where any time I redeem a code in the iTunes app, it starts to show the splash screen after redeeming, but immediately crashes instead. The code redeems, but the iTunes app crashes. I think this started a few weeks ago. I’m running iOS 12.2 and I’ve had this...

    Weird Organisation in AM...

    Is it just me or does AM seem to organise music collections in a completly sh*t fashion. If I save a full album to my library, their seems to be a fairly good chance for random tracks on said album to be moved into another album or single in my library. As an example, I downloaded Radiohead's...

    iTunes Match/iCML: Is there a way to keep an already-downloaded playlist automatically updated?

    Quick question about iTunes Match/iCloud Music Library. Is there anyway to auto-download new music but only in playlists that I previously downloaded on my phone? So let's say my whole iTunes library is uploaded to Match. On my iPhone, I go in the Music app and download a couple playlists (eg...
