Itunes For Mojave

This guide will take you step by step through the process of getting iTunes to work on a Mac running macOS Catalina (10.15).

Unfortunately Apple have not provided a standalone download of iTunes 12.9 for Mac at this time. The only way to install it is to install macOS 10.14 Mojave. Apple on Wednesday released Safari 14 for current Macs ahead of an expected macOS Big Sur launch later in 2020. By Mike Peterson Sep 16, 2020. Sep 16, 2020 19 Comments. Apple has chosen to only make available bundled with Mojave. You can always download the installer for iTunes 12.8 from here and then update once installed. This update supports iOS 12 devices. ITunes forever changed the way people experienced music, movies, and podcasts. It all changes again with three all-new, dedicated apps — Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts — each designed from the ground up to be the best way to enjoy entertainment on your Mac. Project Catalyst had a type of clinic conducted in Mojave, even though back then, it was called Marzipan. Apple used it to vent a number of its iOS programs to the Mac; thus, we watched News, Stocks, Home, and a few other iOS programs arrived on the Mac in 2018.

While plenty of people are glad iTunes is gone, that doesn’t mean everyone is happy about it. Using the free and open source app Retroactive, getting iTunes back on your Mac is a breeze. Note: this amazing app also allows you to install Aperture and iPhoto in macOS Catalina.

Head over to the Retroactive home page and click the large Click to download the Retroactive app link.
After you’ve opened and extracted the contents of the .zip file, instead of double-clicking the app to run it, right-click (or ctrl + click) it.
Select Open from the context menu.
In all likelihood, an error message will appear. Don’t fret, just click OK
Right-click the app again and select Open
This time the error message should include an Open button – click it.
Select iTunes – you can re-run the app and install Aperture or iPhoto later if you’d like.
Choose the version of iTunes you’d like to install and then click Continue
Before the installation can start you’ll need to authenticate, so click the Authenticate button.
Enter the same username and password you use to sign into your Mac and click OK
Now you may want to go grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee – this is probably going to take a while.
Before the installation can finish you’ll need to authenticate yet again.
Finally! Click the Launch iTunes button.
Ta-da! Now you have iTunes up and running on your Mac again :)
Going forward you can launch iTunes from your Applications folder the same way you used to.

If this article helped you, I'd be grateful if you could share it on your preferred social network - it helps me a lot. If you're feeling particularly generous, you could buy me a coffee and I'd be super grateful :)
