@elena not sure if it would really help but for the old macOs version issue recently discovered https://opencorelegacypatcher.net
But I have never used it đ .@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 đâ

@Woodsie111 @d1re_w0lf so from what I understand, iTunes worked only up to MacOS High Sierra. So you wouldn't be able to run iTunes from a new Macbook Air... unless iMazing is like magic đ â
I just tried to unzip it on my old Macbook Pro but it's throwing me a 'corrupt file' error message, gh@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... -

@elena maybe https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive to continue using iTunes on a more recent macOs đ .

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 đ°đ°đ°đ°đ°).
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!!! Iâll 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 đ

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

@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!

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

@aeva An AYN Thor! It's a powerful Android emulation handheld that can emulate Switch and even some modern PC games on Steam, but it's small enough to fit in a pocket!

@QuestForTori what is this fancy looking device :O

*I* decide when dual-screen gaming dies, dammit
