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

ITunes Remote is the best way to control Apple Music, iTunes, or the Apple TV app from anywhere in your home. Simply download the app to your iPhone or iPad, and connect directly to Apple Music, iTunes, or the Apple TV app on your Mac or PC. The app is completely free to download and use while it makes it easy to connect to Apple Music, iTunes and Apple Tv app. To use the app you can simply download the iTunes Remote app on your iPad or iPhone and connect it however you like. The app now has a dark mode in it after the new update that is also said to patch bugs that the Remote app had. Apple today updated its iTunes Remote app with support for Apple Music and the Apple TV apps in macOS Catalina, enabling a feature that was first introduced earlier this week in macOS Catalina 10. For better or worse, macOS Mojave was the last Mac software release to use the program everyone loves to hate, iTunes. With the launch of macOS Catalina, Apple removed iTunes and replaced it with Apple Music and Apple TV. The good news is that using your iPhone natively as a remote isn’t gone. It just behaves a little differently than before.

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.
