@elena @Woodsie111 You most probably need an older version:
@d1re_w0lf sadly even older versions (that should be supported) give me an error ("image data corrupted") sigh.
Time to stop this for the day, I need to pick up my little one from daycare. Will try again tomorrow... -

@Timshel thanks! sadly in this case I don't think it will work... basically Apple only supported iTunes up to MacOS High Sierra. I don't want to upgrade my MacOS or else I would lose access to iTunes, sigh. I just want it to recognize my iPhone 😭
@elena maybe https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive to continue using iTunes on a more recent macOs 😅.

Dear Fedi friends,
I'm in a bit of a pickle and I could use your brilliant advice.
Long story short, I need to wait an extra 24 hours before attempting to set up Jellyfin on my Raspi (waiting for gear to arrive).
I thought: maybe I could try a low tech / oldie solution first. I have my entire music library super well organized in iTunes (RIP). It's on an old Macbook Pro (2011) connected to an external drive. I can play all the tracks from that computer. I just resurrected my iPhone 6 (capacity: 64GB) to repurpose it as an iPod. My entire music library is 'only" 40GB so the iPhone could hold it all.
Only problem: iTunes on my Macbook Pro does not recognize the iPhone 6. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect to it. I suspect the firmware is too old (on the Mac / too new on the iPhone)... I could not even wipe the iPhone with that old Mac because it couldn't connect to the Apple servers.
The iPhone 6 is completely empty and has iTunes! (Not Apple Music but actual iTunes). It even filled with some tracks I had bought (not sure how).
What would you do in this situation? Are there any workarounds?
My old Macbook Pro is running iOS version 10.8.5 and iTunes is on version 12.0.1.26.
My iPhone 6 (wiped clean and re-associated to my Apple ID) is running software version 12.5.7.
Apple discontinued iTunes support years ago in favor of Apple Music and streaming subscriptions (no wonder, because 💰💰💰💰💰).
I wish I could put my entire music library on my iPhone 6, le sigh. I technically wouldn't even need Jellyfin.
I also have an iPod Touch (1gen) that may connect to my Macbook Pro but its capacity is only 16GB.
What would you do?

#AskFedi #AdviceNeeded #music #BigTech@elena Install Windows in a VM and pass the USB connection to the VM and use iTunes for windows?

@Timshel thank you!!! I’ll look into this tomorrow. Now with my little one till she goes to bed

@antoine_ali @Timshel thanks but no thanks! I'm a MacOS / Linux person, I'm not willing to cross over to Windows computers (no offense to anyone using them, just not my thing). Plus I already have a small apartment overflowing with electronics and photo / video equipment, I can't possibly justify getting a Windows computer just for iTunes 😅

@MontgomeryGator oooh great workaround! I will add it as a plan B for sure, thank you for the brilliant suggestion! 🙏

@joel awww lucky you! I'm a little jelly to be honest 😆

@antoine_ali @Timshel oooh maybe my old Macbook Air (circa 2013). I still have it around and used it up to this year as I loved its keyboard and ports. Perfect little machine for writing. Let's see if I can do this there. Thanks for the suggestions!

@elena I actually don't have an iPod but literally last week I got this and I think it's really cool!!

@joel OMG this looks AMAZING! 🤩
Is it compatible with iTunes or you use another software? I’m pretty big on playlists so I want to use something that enables them

Anyone can make a hashtag, and so anyone can co-opt a hashtag just as easily.

You have the advantage of sharing a wide range of things on your stream that makes it likely that you are a real person, and not just a scammer.
Also, I don't ever recall you asking Internet Strangers for money, which is another big hint.

I've been on the other end of this, and requested to follow people. Not sure what my success rate is on that.
-
Some people can follow me without a problem, some instead "Request to Follow", I suspect some local instance thing that flags some Follows as questionable & asks me to confirm or deny them. Sometimes the requests look legitimate and I grant them, other times they look spammy, either attractive women w/o much content (which makes me suspect they want me to subscribe to their naughty webcam) or like you describe, & both types are rejected.

Okay, I am going to say it:
Whether or not the people of #GazaVerified truly are who they say they are (and I am withholding judgement on that), quite a few are behaving in a manner that is indistinguishable from scammers.
There is the mass following of Fediverse users. If someone follows me, I assume that there is actual interest in what I have to say, not because they want money from me.
And first following me, then immediately sending me Direct Messages asking me for money is something I have otherwise only seen from scammers. This does not build trust in me.
Hence, I will use the block button more frequently in the future.

It seems unlikely I’m responsible for my own actions. Looking into who is responsible, and hope to know more soon
