Yes, it lo longer works via iTunes as it used to. I have found you can drag and drop epubs over to the phone/iPad, but you can no longer sort or select via iTunes as you did before, it has to be done on the device. This is a total mess, especially dealing with versions of books as every device has to be updated separately (Some of my books might be updated 3 or 4 times over a semester)
Got a tip for us?

I do, so I download many apps all at once and then update my three iOS devices in a pinch. Instead now I have to switch on wifi and download them all three times...
Try 4 iPads and 4 iPhone's, many with the same things like Facebook on them. It's bloody painful on a 2meg ADSL connection!
Apparently, for years I've been using EVERYTHING wrong. Thanks,

I asked earlier - can someone do a full iDevice backup with iTunes 12.7 and then do a full restore? We cannot use iCloud for backups because of security requirements so only local iTunes backups are allowed.
I FOUND THE APP STORE IN ITUNES 12.7.0.166
If you visit a web page like:
https://itunes.apple.com/developer/electronic-arts/id284800461?mt=8
1. Click the blue button "View in iTunes" and it launches the developer page in iTunes:
2. Then click on App Store in the top left corner:
This is so cool. Because it is much easier to browse for new apps on the Mac's big screen.
Enjoy folks.

If you have apps across different IDs how is restoring going to work?
You can, but it becomes messy if you have Apple Music as your source. I still cant successfully manage this, but without Apple Music's streaming as your first music source then adding any mp3 to your phone through iTunes is easy.
Still won't let you buy the app, click on one of them, and a web page opens providing the details with no option to purchase
So you're not going to upgrade to macOS HS, I suppose... It is more than likely that iTunes 12.7 will be the default in the new version.
It's a bummer for me as well since I also have and use custom ringtones. Let's see what will be reported here by MR and other sites on this issue until High Sierra launches.
And that's the main reason I won't use Apple Music.
Read again what he is talking about custom ringtones. He can’t delete them.
Why does Apple even bother releasing iTunes for Windows as legacy based software installing hundreds of helper services and apps? Where is the promised iTunes version in Windows App Store?

Gonna be sooo much fun...Long-touch on the icon, swipe, swipe, move, press home, repeat...
It happened in iOS 9 when they invented app slices. Apple didn't want you to download an app on your computer from your iPhone to find that it won't work on your iPad. So to "fix" this problem they created they eliminated the transfer feature.
It asks for a password for each ID and downloads the apps.
I don't get this thread.
To add ringtones and old apps, just find the files and drag them to the phone in iTunes.

If you want to delete a custom ringtone, in phone summary tick "Manually manage music and videos" then go to the ringtones section and simply delete the ones you don't want.
The functions to sync and backup phones are still there.

This is unbelievable honestly. They should at least create a separate iSync app for Mac and windows. That was very useful functionality. Petition anyone?
Please read again and read it MUCH MUCH slower this time!
This now affects everyone now that it’s out of beta! I wasn’t responding about it being a beta I was informing at what point they did this (out of 10 betas it happened back on beta 5). That was just a “when the hell did that happen?” reference for those who might be interested WHEN did they yank them?
My point is NOW there is no warning for all of YOU out there I just got the luxury of it happening a month ago without warning. Now you’ll all lose yours too as part of the “64bit only” iTunes/iOS “planned obsolescence” by Apple.
You might ask for your money back on that speed reading class you took. <LOL>
