Apple Releases iTunes for Windows 12.13.2 With Support for New iPads

[MacRumors]

Apple today released an iTunes 12.13.2 update for Windows users, with the software introducing support for the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models.

iTunes for Windows is typically updated every few months, and this update follows a December release that added security fixes.

iTunes has been phased out on the Mac for several years now and it has been replaced with Finder and the TV app, but Apple has continued to keep the Windows version available.

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

Why does this still exist, and why are both iTunes and AM apps trash on Windows?

They have a separate Apple Devices app as well: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9np83lwlpz9k

In one day I’ve heard news about iTunes and iPod nano. What a great day.

they’ve been beta apps, never full releases, hence the millions of bugs.

Hopefully we will hear about the PowerBook G5 next! 😁

They've been out of beta for awhile now actually.

They not supported on Arm versions of Windows.

To be fair, iTunes was trash on Mac too.

I'm hoping Apple adds security key support. I can't even log into iTunes on my Windows computer because hardware key 2FA isn't supported...

You mean the engineeer who probably gets bank for adding a few lines of code.

I was genuinely curious aside from like full restore backups, why would anyone need to use iTunes?

I use it to sync my iPod Classics. I haven’t updated iTunes in a while though, I can’t remember if they stopped supporting old iPods and that’s why I stopped. I’ll need to be careful before updating. 😅

That engineer is working at Apple Headquarters. He'll collect a cool $1500 for those few lines of code and be okay.

 

[Gator5000e]

I used iTunes recently because all the cover art in Apple Music on my Pro 14 got buggered and I needed to do a complete resync of all my music. Thankfully, it fixed it.

 

[poematik13]

bruh what year is it

 

[Gator5000e]

I tried to download the update via the Microsoft store and Norton is detecting a threat in the file. So I have no idea if this is safe to install or not.

Then I guess you’re just up the creek without a paddle then. No update for you! Really, just try again tomorrow.

Would it have hurt them to throw in FLAC support while they were poking around in there?

God damn no, null, niente, nada, never!

Every single time i installed iTunes on a Windows PC, the PC's media playback was completely borked after that, cause iTunes registered itself as the main application for *ALL* media content! Also every single time the apple folks blamed Windows for that, when in reality it was iTunes screwing up the Windows system.

Now i use a different approach and install iTunes in an exclusive VM in VirtualBox, which it can screw to death, but never again on or near my daily driver...
