iphone 11 ios 13.4 not appearing itunes

Well, there's a new iOS update out. Wishful thinking - it will fix this problem. More realistically, I'm bracing myself for more frustration.

Here goes nothing!

What's the version number on this iOS update? I don't see it at all.

If it's 13.4.1 that's not new and doesn't fix the problem.

My mistake -- it's not a new update.

Yep, itunes folder it is.

mine is located inside , library, music folder then i can see itunes folder, which has a large size comparing to other folders.

make sure you do it right otherwise if you move a wrong folder you might lose your music library.

if you want to keep your music library including ratings and everything else you should move it to your desktop and then uninstall iTunes and install it back again and move back the folder. Doing so will keep all your media and its details.

Fmarek7, I am on the same boat, and I have a feeling that I will be on High Sierra forever, unless Apple will support 32bit.

Are you running Mojave? I haven't tried it, and I am afarid that many plugins and Apps will no be supported as well.

FMarek7 and everyone out there, I found a solution that my iPhone Pro Max is appearing in my ITunes like before. I have not tried to sync the library, because I made an experiment on the clone drive, which I normally do. It was big help from saason, as well.

Here are the steps.

1. Go-click option select library
2. Drag iTunes folder to the desktop
3. Open an AppCleaner application
4. Go Application folder and drag the iTunes to Appcleaner window

5. Click preferences...

6 Uncheck Protect default OS X apps

7 Many files will show up in the Appcleaner window remove it

8 Restart your mac and install the latest iTunes, available on the Apple side.

9 The new iTunes will detect your Library automatically

10 Connect your iPhone

11 "You need to update your software" message. Click OK, wait 5 minutes and it will appear in your iTunes.

I have no idea why the message pops up, I need to update my software. Apparently the developers predicted this happening to people who run OS prior to Catalina

It was very easy, once we know the secret. I am surprised that Senior advisors, are not informed about this solution. Also, I wish Apple new iOS 13.4.5 would solve the non sync issue that people would not have to waste their time to go through 11 steps process.

Good luck.

1. My Library is on external Drive. So by reinstalling the iTunes in the general tab preferences pointed to Library on external, I was surprised, that I did not have to direct to the library.
2. The Appcleaner besides the main app, deletes many necessary files that need to be deleted automatically, bunch of them will show on their app screen.
3. The latest one from the Apple side. https://support.apple.com/downloads/itunes

The bottom line file 11 steps, its easy.

Good luck!

FNChang, then you don't need to do anything, just delete the iTunes and all the files associate with it using AppCleaner, and try. Good luck! Here is the screen shot of the AC app after you drag your iTune, the example shown is the real player app .

My songs are on an external drive that iTunes points to. I've reinstalled iTunes twice over the existing copy and it never prompted me to update the software so it doesn't change anything and iTunes still can't see my phone.

I have not tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes because when I was trying the various fixes everyone shared, I didn't want to hassle with the workaround that permits AppCleaner to uninstall iTunes from High Sierra.

Since, in recent posts, you recommend that people just overwrite iTunes and not uninstall it, I wondered if anything had changed to make that method work. Apparently some of the users you advised to do this had it work for them and they did not have to uninstall iTunes. And since you recommended it I assumed it worked for you too, until I remembered that in earlier posts you said you uninstalled iTunes before reinstalling it.

Am I right that reinstalling over an existing iTunes (without uninstalling) has worked for some people?

Postscript: I just read some posts I missed above and see that you and another person both successfully fixed the problem by reinstalling over the existing iTunes. That didn't work in my case, unfortunately. At this point I tend to think this problem is only affecting a handful of people or Apple would have fixed it.

I did not touch Library.itl file , in fact I did not touch the Music folder. I moved the iTunes folder from the hidden LIBRARY... Menu Go Option iTunes

That's why everything was a peace of cake.
