ITunes 12.13.1.3 for Windows 11 offers no backup option for iPhone

iTunes from Microsoft Store v12.13.1.3 running on a Win 11 Pro 23h2 with a USB attached iPhone 14 Pro Max running IOS 17.4.1 no longer allows iPhone backups.

iTunes no has 2 main options play, Podcasts or Audio Books. To play music from your the iPhone a new app is required from the Microsoft Store, Apple Music (must have missed the memo). QUESTION is HOW DO I BACKUP MY IPHONE to my PC? Web searches has yielded nothing.


Regards

You have to uninstall Apple Devices, then restart and iTunes should work as it did before. If you any of Apple Music, Apple TV, or Apple Devices installed, iTunes will only work with Audio Books and Podcasts.

Do appreciate your response but most likely I was not clear. For oh so many years it did work that way. Now there is no options for the Device, Music ... only Audio Books and Podcasts. Connecting the iPhone to a USB does not provide access to the phone's pictures, nothing in explorer, no USB connected device. You can not play music from your iPhone through iTunes. You require a Microsoft Store app Apple Music. It appears iTunes is being broken into pieces with some missing, backup up phone, music, etc.


Thanks again.

Tunes de Microsoft Store v12.13.1.3 que se ejecuta en un Win 11 Pro 23h2 con un iPhone 14 Pro Max conectado por USB con IOS 17.4.1 ya no permite copias de seguridad de iPhone.

iTunes no tiene 2 opciones principales de reproducción, Podcasts o Audiolibros. Para reproducir música desde su iPhone, se requiere una nueva aplicación de Microsoft Store, Apple Music (debe haberse perdido la nota). La PREGUNTA es ¿CÓMO HAGO UNA COPIA DE SEGURIDAD DE MI IPHONE en mi PC? Las búsquedas en la web no han arrojado nada.
