I just realised that since there’s no longer iTunes, Remote would no longer work to control iTunes on Mac
Hol up lol I already got it figured out. I just need to re-enable it
Got a tip for us?

Manually managing music on Iphone.
I can figure out synching of playlists, artists, etc. But how do I simply drag and drop what I want to the Phone now?

Considering downloading the beta. I really want to use Sidecar. I use my Mac for my work, mostly using chrome, Photoshop, Spotify, and FileZilla. Should I do it?
Honestly, you're better off waiting until early next week for a probable Beta 3. The bugs that have been kicking around are pretty bad. Not everyone is experiencing them, but if you do you'll wish you didn't jump on the bandwagon just yet.
Yes. Apple has acknowledged this one, hopefully it will be fixed in the next beta. I'm having this issue myself.
Correct. Neither do BeardedSpice or Last.fm scrobblers and most AppleScript telling application "iTunes".I just realised that since there’s no longer iTunes, Remote would no longer work to control iTunes on Mac
EDIT: Just saw your follow up. Re-enabled where?
Under Privacy settings > Media Sharing
But for some reason, my library now appears on Remote but I can’t still control my iTunes.
Yeah same. My iTunes on my mac is playing but it doesn’t seem to appear on my Remote. Also make sure that Home sharing is enabled on your Apple Music app (if you are using it)
Wait for the next version of beta. Bugs have hit my MBP 2017 so hard it is almost useless
Exaggerating of course, but the only thing my Mac is good for right now is launching system update. I feel you.
Restarting doesn't seem to fix it for me. I can't even load my library right now.
anyone having issues with iPads and iPhones not showing up in the finder. I can see their names in the window sidebar, but when I click on them I get a spinning wheel and the word loading, which always leads to selected device could not be found. is there a work around?
Yes, having issues with these two apps too.
My library in TV seem fine and playlists in Music are working too, but when I click WATCH NOW or anything else in TV app I bounces me back to the library tab and I'm totally unable to click on FOR YOU or BROWSE in the Music app.
Tried restarting, deleting cache, as well as reinstalling MacOS from recovery menu but still not working for me.
Yep that’s exactly what’s happening for me. Tried those things as well and no luck. Guess I’m not alone.
I had a similar issue with Mojave Public betas. I fixed it with DaisyDisk. Have you tried that or a similar utility [?] (note: I have no idea if DaisyDisk is compatible with Catalina, but I thought I saw it on someone's "works" list - I could be mistaken and mixing it up with something else).
Good luck!
UPDATE: I did find where someone had included DaisyDisk on a "works" list (version 4.7.2, IIRC).

If anyone’s a concert junkie like I am, they have multiple versions of the same song in Music. But when you search for a song, it only shows a maximum of 4 results. Hope this is just a bug.
I'm having problems with iCloud Drive. It seems that all of my files which were within folders are now all in the main iCloud Drive folder and all of them show zero bytes. I tried to access it from the web and it says "there was a problem loading the content of this folder". Not sure if macOS 10.15 related or just general issue, but pretty serious.

I have installed on my early 2015 MB Pro. Very buggy and unstable so far...... Had experienced long booting time, and with bluetooth disabled. Time Machine backup showing zero byes backed up, etc. Will give a bit more time to see how it goes.
Here's a security issue. I have two-factor authentication on my Apple ID. Whenever I am asked to enter my Apple ID, whether it's an app like Apple Music or on Apple's website (pictured), it asks me to enter a six-digit code shown on my other Apple devices... except it shows it on this device. Not exactly secure... "Enter the password... also, here's the password!" Anyone else getting this?

Not really insecure. If your Mac is authenticated to your account, then there’s no reason not to show the 2FA code on that device when logging into Apple via the browser. It’s no different than logging your phone into a website and using Duo on the same phone to pull the 2FA code.
