iTunes for Mac

12.9.5.5

12.9.5.5

See all Versions

I love this app, but I'm not thrilled with new updates. Using the program has become more difficult and there are some problems with the saved playlists.

v12.9.5.5 is the current version. What's going on here? v12.8.3 is old!

I so very much hate this app. Searching is just awful, switching back and forth between your library and the Music Store never returns you to the same place, if you ever subscribe to Apple Music it actively trawls your library and deletes songs you've edited, the layout needs an overhaul, I've not been able to find a reliable way to keep my music synced between all of my devices (e.g. using iCloud)...

Large library management is a headache. Necessary evil for iphone and pod users.

itunes continues to become more difficult to use with every update. I am sitting here now trying to figure out how to navigate to the video store with the new TV app concept which seems to not work correctly anymore. The music area is horrible when it comes to tracking and searching for you music. I know change can be good but making change for the sake of just doing it is pointless. I wish we had the option to choose the style or iTunes interface we like most no matter what iOS update is pushed.

Apple iTunes is the best application that I have been for a while. I really like the interface of iTunes and how it works. And more important I really liked the new features that I have got after the new updates.

iTunes 12.9.5.5 is now out. It updates iTunes to be compatible with iOS 13.x devices. - - When using the older 12.9.5 version of iTunes, iOS 13.x devices cause iTunes to bring up a window warning: "A software update is required to connect to [insert device name]. Would you like to download and install this update now?... Apple have thus far been too disorganized to bother providing any adequate explanation when using the useless 'Learn More...' button. But what happens if you hit 'Install' is the update to iTunes 12.9.5.5. Two notable new files are installed: (1) LaunchDaemon 'com.usbmuxd.plist' (2) PackageKit framework 'AppleMobileDevice.kext'.

Does not work on my 2014 iMac. iTunes crashes, upon launch, rendering it unusable. The error message reads: The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. So, in my case, where does a search reveal this file to be? Why, it's in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder, the default location for this file, of course. Where else would it be?

12.9.2.5 is the current version of iTunes (not 12.8.2). It was released January 23rd, 2019.

Wouldn't it be great, if Apple managed to show album covers in iTunes? That problem has been reported on Apple Discussions one year ago in march 2018 and is since unresolved:
