Now there's an app for every media type
With macOS Catalina, your music, videos, podcasts and audiobooks have been organised into their own dedicated apps — the Apple Music app, Apple TV app, Apple Podcasts app and Apple Books app. You can also access your iTunes Store purchases in these apps.
If you have a PC, you can continue to use iTunes for Windows to manage your media library, make purchases and manually sync and manage your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Following are the steps to find iTunes in MacOS Catalina. First of all, you need to open the Music app on your Mac. Then click on the music in the menu bar, then choose preferences. Now, tab, press on the 'Show: iTunes Store' and press next. Now you can see iTunes Store in the left-hand sidebar of macOS Catalina. ITunes once was the ultimate in music and media streaming services but now there are plenty of other options available. Newer versions of iTunes have become less desirable due to cluttered interfaces and confusing features that aren’t always easy to use, and if you just upgraded your MacBook Pro to the latest macOS Catalina iTunes won’t be. In macOS Catalina, iTunes has been replaced by separate apps, but none of those new apps takes on the tasks of syncing your music, books, photos and other data to your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
Download macOS Catalina for an all‑new entertainment experience. Your music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and audiobooks will transfer automatically to the Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books apps where you’ll still have access to your favorite iTunes features, including purchases, rentals, and imports.
Use Finder to sync and manage your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Finder is the new place to back up, update or restore your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Just connect your device to your Mac and it will appear in the Finder sidebar. And you can easily drag and drop files to your device.
Use Finder to manage your devices.
Upgrade your iTunes library
After you've updated to macOS Catalina, just open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app to use your iTunes library in the new apps. Have multiple iTunes libraries? Find out how to switch between them in macOS Catalina.
If you open the Apple Podcasts app or Apple Books app first, you won't be able to see any of your media until you've opened the Apple Music app or Apple TV app.
Here are some things to know
- The Apple Music app and Apple TV app will read the contents of your iTunes library — so don't delete your iTunes library.
- If you open the Apple Music app and can't see all of your album artwork, leave the Apple Music app open so your album artwork can finish downloading.
- If you've previously used multiple iTunes libraries, your audiobooks will be imported into the Apple Books library and podcasts will be imported into the Apple Podcasts library on your computer.
