Apple Releases iTunes 12.12.6 for Windows With Support for New iPads

[MacRumors]

Apple today released an iTunes 12.12.6 update for windows, with the software adding support for the new iPad Pro and iPad and addressing security vulnerabilities.

The updated version of iTunes comes ahead of the Wednesday launch of the updated iPad and iPad Pro models. The iPad features an all-new design that does away with the Home button, bright chassis colors, an updated A-series chip, and a Touch ID power button, putting it nearly on par with the iPad Air.

The iPad Pro features an updated M2 chip, WiFi 6E, and a new Apple Pencil "hover" function that allows the display to detect the Apple Pencil when it is up to 12mm away.

iTunes for Windows can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store or from Apple's website.

Am I the only Mac user who misses iTunes?

The first version of iTunes for Windows I won't be installing since I finally swapped out my nearly decade-old Surface Pro 2 for an M1 MacBook Air 😔

it's a joke iTunes still exists. Why no Apple Music app for Windows? If Apple want to compete with Spotify they need to do it. I'm not using iTunes and paying the hiked prices!

The Apple Music for Windows beta is allegedly launching later this year, and releasing to the public spring 2023!

But, yeah, about time...

I thought iTunes was dead

It's weird how I call the music app on my iPhone and iPad "Music", but I still instinctively call the music app on my Mac "iTunes".

Too late. With the price hike I'm simply not interested in ever going back to Apple Music.

Great laptop, best product Apple have put out in years.

It's pretty freaking great, and I just got the base model. The color (gold) is stunning, and the display is absolutely mind-blowingly gorgeous to my unseasoned eyes. I can only imagine how nice those on the new Pros must be.

A great investment so far, and a wonderful deal at Best Buy after price-matching with Amazon and trading in my Surface along with my 9th-gen iPad. The iPad was great and will be missed, but this is on another level, especially for the price.

Same but in Space Grey, I've got a desktop also and bought it for travel really but I end up using it all the time.

I do miss iTunes on Mac as well, I use both Windows and MacOS and it is sometimes confusing to switch between the two.

Honestly Apple should have kept iTunes on the mac as a separate download.

Nice, glad you're happy. I just hope Apple keeps supporting it for several years to come...

For Mac users it is.
For PC windows users, it's still alive, barely. It's still a mess but still works. Otherwise, PC users can get 3rd party software instead of using 'iTunes for Windows'.

Alvvays might have something to say about that

Love that Apple supports Windows longer than their own operating system... I'm still running High Sierra and I'm stuck with nearly obsolete iTunes 12.8.3.1

 

[No5tromo]

I've been using iPhones for years but I am fairly new to macOS, it's mildly shocking that some things aren't already default features e.g. Facetime handoff. The way macOS was presented to me by Apple enthusiasts was that it was gonna be the most seamless ecosystem experience ever. Not saying that the ecosystem isn't there, it's just that it is slightly overhyped and it can be quite underwhelming in features and reliability.

iTunes FLAC support when??

Am I the only Mac user who misses iTunes?

I deeply miss iTunes. In general. I don’t miss any software from Apple on Windows though. We know that Apple doesn’t give a damn about anything other than the Mac. So why bother with anything on Windows? It’s just embarrassing for a company like Apple.

The only thing I miss about it was the era of downloading and owning music from the iTunes Store. Streaming can get messy at times when music is removed and the files are re-matched to other versions that we're not originally in your library. Apple Music would be perfect if they let you manually match non-Apple Music songs in your library to songs in the Apple Music catalog.

Am I the only Mac user who misses iTunes?

NOPE. I don’t miss it cause I’m using it as my default iTunes. I have loved iTunes since day 1. I don’t like it that it’s 3 apps now. “F” that.
