Retroactive: Mac app that lets you run Aperture, iPhoto, or iTunes on macOS Catalina

Update. Sorry, spoke too soon.

I realised on closer examination that the only tracks showing in the Devices/iPhone/Music section of the iTunes sidebar were those from the one playlist that was already synced to the phone via its Finder entry (ie, from the Apple Music library). In iTunes there were no Artist/Album/Genres/Playlists tabs to tick or untick.

So I tried quitting iTunes and unticking that playlist in the Music section of the phone's Finder sidebar and applying the change. Then I restarted and launched iTunes again. Now there are no items in Devices/iPhone/Music.

This appears to indicate that Apple Music retains control of the iPhone's music content regardless of what's going on with iTunes.
 
Does the tvOS 16.6 update kill Retroactive/iTunes home sharing? Asking because my AppleTV box no longer recognizes my iTunes music and movies libraries, although oddly enough. it streams pictures from Photos as AppleTV screen savers as before. Anyone else notice a problem? Many thanks in advance...
 
Something sad has happened. :confused:
iTunes 12.6.5 no longer works once updated with MacOS 13.7.3.
"Termination Reason: CODESIGNING 1 Taskgated Invalid Signature"
It was working fine with 13.7.2.

Imagine speaking to a child, what exactly do I need to do to solve this issue. Just moved to 13.7.3 and iTunes is crashing.

I appreciate any help you can give as I don't want to move to the new apps.

EDIT:
Ran each line with Sudo and it worked.

I do however get "Unknown error -42408" every time i open iTunes now.This is followed by -11571 error.

Anyway of getting rid of this ?

In the past signing out and back in -iTunes speaking- was solving these kind of errors

Signed out. Rebooted. Now when I select sign in, no pop up box appears to allow me to sign back in ?

Do you have a backup? Evidently 13.7.3 broke something and you didn't need to reboot, I explicitly said
"signing out and back in -iTunes speaking-"
I can do it with no problem in other systems
I would try to reinstall iTunes
Beside signing in , can you play your music anyway?

My clone SSD was on 13.7.2 so I have swapped them over ( I'm running my iMac on external SSD so not an issue - the internal is an awful HDD ). Reinstalling iTunes with Retroactive didn't work, that was one solution I tried.

I always keep my back up clone one version down in case of issue.

Was weird though that the pop up for signing in didn't appear. I tried signing in before rebooting and no pop up, that's why i rebooted.

I will just not upgrade incremental versions passed what I'm on and just use security updates. My iMac is a 2017 so will stick with it until i move to my new iMac this year and then unfortunately make the move to Music and TV apps instead of iTunes.

Sorry it didn't work, I'm so scare of updating anything because it rarely improves apps , mostly of the time it breaks things
Smart move to have clones

I'm so bummed I can't use iTunes anymore, now on Sequoia, via Retroactive

It's my one regret about parting out my Hack and getting a Mini and now having no choice but to be on Sequoia

Apple Motto: if an app works, try everything to make users regret any update
Remember when we were complaining about iTunes being so messy?
Well, now we want that, because they can make things worse.
They are pushing us to subscribe to Apple Music .👎
