Before updating to macOS Catalina, I used the iTunes Store wishlist that was accessed through the iTunes app. Now that we have the new Music, TV, and Podcast apps in place of iTunes, I can't find where the wishlist is located..the wishlist for music, tv shows, and movies.
MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
What you previously had in your wishlist is available in the Music app (use the Account drop-down menu and click on Wishlist and it appears exactly as it always did in iTunes). HOWEVER, there appears to be no way to add any new movies or TV shows to the wishlist. That function no longer exists in either app as far as I can tell. You can buy, rent, or add to Up Next, and that is all.
If anybody has found the solution for this, please let me know. Is the Up Next supposed to be replacing the Wishlist?
You can reach the wish list through the TV app. It's just not as easy. You click menu's Account, then bottom right under Manage.
I found a solution guys!!!
Is possible to add any video to your wishlist!!!
How to add, delete, find any movie to your Mac OS Catalina iTunes wishlist
First open the Apple TV App
Account
View My Account
Manage Devices
Explore
Films
And you find a old one style iTunes and is possible to add your movies
Actually, Up Next does not act the same way at all. There is limited viewing via horizontal scrolling, items drop off, you can't arrange the order of the list, and whatever list one had before is gone with Catalina. Pretty frustrating...
I can't figure out how to do this on a Mac running MacOS Catalina, but I can add movies to my wishlist on my iPhone and iPad, and I see them on the wishlist on a Mac.
I'm at a loss as to why apple has taken the ability to add movies and TV shows to the wish list with Catalina. Also with the new apps it's hard to figure out what just got released and even if you go to new and noteworthy there is no way to filter how they are displayed like in the iTunes Store where you could sort by release date, featured, bestsellers, etc. Moving to three different apps to replace iTunes is fine but why strip all the features that were good from iTunes and put out a **** poor watered down version of the movies, TV shows and Music that was available in iTunes. I really hope Apple brings these features over. Thankfully I've only updated my iMac to Catalina. I won't be updating my MacBook anytime soon so I can still have iTunes and the features it provides.
Sorry but your wrong, there is no wish list in the TV App nor is there a way to add movies to a wish list.
It’s not …
I'm baffled myself. The wishlist is important.
Apple got rid of iTunes, fine. Apple replaced it with three separate apps, fine. But the three apps are missing so many super important features that were available in iTunes. It feels like I'm discovering something missing every day. Today I discovered the TV app has no way to show watched/unwatched content. You can mark a show(s) watched or unwatched, but you can't tell which one is which. What? So many issues like this.
I don't understand how the team at apple thought it was better to give us three feature stripped apps rather than one or three feature-rich apps.

It's a dig!
Maybe there's a faster way. Seems like a crazy way to get people to remember they want to buy things...
KOTTKE, You do not understand the issue, and you have accomplished nothing except prove that the simple, easy-to- manage, Wishlist, is gone. Period. The old way was an easy way to align things up for future scheduling and purchasing within a consolidated application, with one simple click - it has nothing to do with not being able to "remember." It has to do with simplicity. Duh. Obviously you are too young, and too full of yourself, to understand the gist of this thread. Take my advice and leave. By the way, I was installing Cisco routers back in the 1980s before you were even born, and I was creating SCSI and installing RAID in the 1990s when you were just learning how to type.. You do not impress me.
OK, I found this: https://support.apple.com/guide/music/create-a-wish-list-mus59be2bf7/mac
See "View, purchase, or remove items from your wish list"
It appears we can reach our wishlist through the Music app but not the TV app.
Got it! Lol, I can't believe you found that! You have some good analytical eyes my friend. Yeah, that's way deep, too deep 😀
The wishlist is important. I only buy off my wishlist. I shop, add to wishlist, and one day I buy. Not sure Apple realizes how important that wishlist is. If I were Apple, I would improve the wishlist, not make it harder to find and use.
I know what you mean! I do not like this "new" way of doing things on the Mac. Liked it better when it was all consolidated into just iTunes. I made a backup of my system before the upgrade to Catalina, but I hate to drop back and restore my entire system just because of this single, Wishlist, issue. This stinks, darn it! Oh well.
Wow post was deleted. I do not like these new apps, they don't seem to be intuitive and they are missing simple features, such as the with list that should have remained. I used the wish list to help me remember which movies to purchase, out of the 3 the Movie App is the worst. I obviously could not update my Mac Pro, which I'm glad I could not, so I have all the functions the new Apps are missing. I hope this gets fixed in future updates. Until then I will continue to purchase movies using my Mac Pro and probably not open the Movie App on the iMac.
Where is the iTunes Store wishlist located in the new macOS Catalina TV app?
