Re-loading ITunes to my IPhone

There is no iTunes app on an iPhone so nothing for the Music app to delete. iPhones have had the Music App since iOS 5 came out in 2011 where it replaced the iPod App. There has never been an actual iTunes App on iPhone.

Are you perhaps referring to the iTunes Store app?

If it somehow got deleted, it can be redownloaded from the App Store App.

If you are referring to something else, then please clarify.

You seem to be misunderstanding.

You don't download the 3 months free. You simply accept it and it subscribes you to the service. There is no download involved of anything whatsoever.

Your music in the Music App on the iPhone should have remained untouched and should be accessible in the Library tab of the Music App on the iPhone.

Again, there is no iTunes App, there never has been an iTunes app on an iPhone. Your music has always been stored in the Apple Music App.

The 3 months free, just gives you access to the Apple Music subscription service catalog.

If you downloaded the Music App on a Windows PC, then it replaces the iTunes Application, and prevents the iTunes Application from showing your music library. But this has nothing to do with your iPhone at all.

You can either access your music library in the new Music App on your Windows PC, it should have automatically imported it to itself, or uninstall the Music App entirely and the iTunes Application should then recover its ability to manage your music library. You would just need to select the Music section from the top dropdown after you completely uninstall the Music App. You need to uninstall the Music App entirely to recover full use of the iTunes Application.

Re: “If there wasn't an app for ITunes on the IPhone then what was the app whereby I could pay to download songs and add music from a CD?”

On an iPhone, the app that would let you pay to download songs would be the iTunes Store app. (The iPhone has no ability to import music directly from CDs.)

On a Mac running Mojave or earlier, the iTunes application would be where you could import music from CDs, buy downloaded music from the iTunes Store, and load either type of music onto an iPhone. I believe that the iTunes for Windows application offered at least some of those functions for Windows PCs.

With the breakup of the Mac’s iTunes application (in Catalina), and the replacement of iTunes for Windows with Apple Devices for Windows, the functions of the old Mac & Windows iTunes applications are now in different places.

There is no iTunes App on the iPhone. There is an iTunes Store app, and there is an iTunes Remote app, but there is no plain iTunes app.

On Macs running versions of macOS prior to Catalina, there was an iTunes application. Apple broke up its functions and got rid of it when Catalina came out.

There is nothing complex abot your question. Its just starting from a incorrect assumption.

The fact is there has never been an iTunes App on iPhone. Not entirely sure what you are seeing on your wife's iPhone, but it is not an iTunes app.

The Music app holds your music on your iPhone, it always has.

Whe can try to identify what happened to your music if you start by looking in the current Music App on your iPhone, and if you explain exaclty on what device this is all about.

You started saying this was about an iPhone, but then you changed to a Windows PC.

Maybe what you mean is, you no longer have a way of transferring music from the Windows PC to the iPhone, and that would be true, if you downloaded the Music App on the Windows PC, but have not yet downloaded the Devices App to the Windows PC.

But as I said, you can uninstall the Music App on the Windows PC, and return iTunes on the Windows PC to full functionality and the ability to sync music to the iPhone.

Syncing music to the Phone is different from having an iTunes application on your iPhone.

If you still want help, we can try to provide it, but expecting sometihng to exist that never has is not they way to do this.

If you explain clealry what the issue is and on what device the issue exists, we may be able to help you.

When you had the Apple Music subscription, by any chance, were you using the “Sync Library” feature? If so, when the subscription ended, copies of songs synchronized in that way might have stopped working.
