![]() So much for Apple's old marketing slogan: "It just works". I then used iMazing (third party app) to port my iTunes folder into the Music app on the iPhone Pro 12 but my playlists are gone. In 2005 I bought an iPod Photo and straightened out my iTunes library and have left it alone ever since - in Snow Leopard! Recently I tried to get my library out of SL and into HS thinking that my phone should support it (per the tech specs it does) - but iOS 17.x does not. ![]() ![]() However, I tired of the iTunes Store issues, not the least of which included being forced to re-purchase a huge amount of music because back in the early days of the iTunes Store updating one's email - not to be confused with changing Apple IDs - was enough to break one's purchase history. Cassettes and CDs were the thing back when I was in school. The question is, does iOS 17.x sync with ANY iTunes version whatsoever - or only with Apple Music? Of course we know that at some point, very old won't work with very new but it would be nice if Apple posted a table listing iTunes versions and iOS versions to confirm where the cutoff exists.) In my case, iTunes 12.x is confirmed not to work. (The Apple support documents dealing with syncing to iPhones are circular they mention that it may be necessary to do an update but then link to other support documents, none of which are specific enough to address whether the iPhone should even be visible in iTunes as a device in macOS Catalina or earlier. What's more, in the past hour - prior to finding this discussion - I searched for more specifics about which versions of iTunes are compatible with which versions of iOS but came up empty handed. ![]() I assumed, wrongly, that if Apple didn't want iTunes to work anymore they would have also cut off the Store, but that part still works - just not the ability to view my iPhone as a device in iTunes *even though* I selected "Trust this device" when prompted by the new Phone. (Having upgraded from a phone that was unable to update past iOS 15.x, I had no clue the new phone would break the sync feature. ![]() I have iTunes purchases going back over 20 years that I can't sync with my new iPhone in iTunes thanks to iOS 17. ![]()
