This guide will take you step by step through the process of getting iTunes to work on a Mac running macOS Catalina (10.15).
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.
- Catalina is the latest build of Apple’s Mac operating system, version 10.15. Released in October 2019, it’s packed with plenty of new features Mac owners should love, like spreading cloud.

- Itunes cant be downloaded to catalina, when catalina was introduced itunes became apple music, it should be there automatically, there are differences between itunes and apple music and not all of them good, I have over 500 albums stored on my iph.
With macOS Catalina, your iTunes media library is now available in the Apple Music app, Apple TV app, Apple Books app, and Apple Podcasts app. And Finder is where you can manage and sync content on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
The download link for macOS Catalina doesn't work for me.
I get a “Connecting to the Mac App Store…” page, which prompts me to pick iTunes or the App Store or another application.
When I pick the App Store, my App Store application opens, but I get a “Cannot connect to App Store” dialog. (Though the application works fine for other things.)
Choosing iTunes gives me an “Item not available” dialog.
