Those hoping for a return of the iTunes sidebar will continue to use the Playlists screen to access a sidebar in this version of iTunes. This contrasts with the Get Info panel in prior releases of iTunes 12, which mostly looked like an unchangeable panel of metadata about media files in the application. The refinements to the media Get Info window of iTunes 12.1.2 appear aimed at increasing usability, making it a bit more obvious what is editable and adjustable: Simply maintaining the most recent versions of software is a good way to avoid confusion and potential syncing errors that require troubleshooting down the road.
#ITUNES 12 MAC UPDATE#
Not mentioned, but presumably iPhone and iPad users would want to update their iOS devices to iOS 8.3 and their Macs to OS X 10.10.3 for optimal compatibility with the new version of iTunes. In addition, this update also adds several refinements to the Get Info window and improves overall stability.” “This update improves support for syncing photos to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, from the new Photos app of OS X. The release notes accompanying iTunes 12.1.2 for OS X are brief but mention improvements to functionality with syncing an iOS device to the new Photos app, which is included in the OS X 10.10.3 update.

You can also find the update available the next time you relaunch iTunes application in either Mac OS X or Windows, or download the latest version directly from the official site at /itunes.
#ITUNES 12 MAC INSTALL#
The download from existing versions of iTunes is around 100MB and should install quickly without incident. What a waste of money.The easiest way to update iTunes to 12.1.2 on the Mac is through the Software Update mechanism, accessible via the Apple menu > App Store > Updates tab in OS X. One laptop I use all the time and one just for iTunes. I’m told that is likely that I will no option but to buy a new laptop before the next iOS. Thankfully I found someone that could help and it is resolved. If doing that means iTunes won’t work, it’s your fault for not needing to buy a new laptop or it’s your fault for not being able to afford a new laptop” If I was worth a trillion dollars I would pay for a website that would give all Apple users access to free iTunes updates to make all old versions of iTunes compatible with all versions of iOS. We also insist and encourage users to update to the latest iOS. Seems contrary to their environmental commitment to say “ditch a perfectly a good laptop because we refuse to update the iTunes software that we demand you use to add content to your phone. They didn’t have a clue and just blamed me for having an old laptop (which is as good as new and performs perfectly) As I can’t really afford to upgrade my laptop and have no need to I’m frustrated that trillion dollar company Apple can’t / won’t put some resource into ensuring old versions of iTunes will work with new versions of iOS.

#ITUNES 12 MAC FOR MAC#
After some research, the person I spoke with said to go to Download iTunes 12.8.2 for Mac and install this slightly older version.

I had the same problem, with iTunes 12.8.2.3 (running on macOS 10.13.6) and iOS 14.0.įirst, I went through the steps listed at If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support.
This answer for someone who had the issue with iOS 13 solves this for me:
Found the solution was to reinstall iTunes atop the existing copy, allow the installer to also install the 'update needed' for the iPhone, then wait minutes for the install to complete.
Posting this to help anyone who has an issue after upgrading an iPhone and subsequently cannot get iTunes on a Mac to see the phone for syncing and backing up.
