What happened to the iTunes Store search bar on my iMac desktop?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
your iMac will have lots of apps like safari, tv, books.
You defo don't have Catalina then
Please read this What happened to iTunes? – Apple Support
In catalina they got rid of iTunes and have split it down to individual apps such as books, music, podcast
Well iTunes is not present for you.
You have music, Podcast, books and app store
If you go to the music app there is a search bar at the top on the left
I have Catalina 10.15.6 and iTunes is still present for me. All I want to do is purchase an album, but there is no way to locate it without a search bar.
PS I want to do this on my desktop, not a smart phone.
I do not have a “app” on my desktop. I do have iTunes, just as I always have. The iTunes Store has a browse feature but not a search feature.
