You can join Apple Music and stream - or download and play offline - over 75 million songs, ad‑free. Upgrade today to get your favorite music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts. The latest entertainment apps now come installed with macOS Catalina. iTunes works on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. You can even listen to free streaming radio stations with iTunes Radio. If you don’t have an Apple device or any history with iTunes, there are better ways to manage your media.ITunes for Mac is the best way to organize and enjoy the music, movies, and TV shows you already have - and shop for the ones you want to get. Furthermore, it makes for an easy transition. In closing, if you have an Apple device or are switching over from Mac to Windows, backing up your iPhone is still possible using the suggestion above. Your iPhone backups will now go to C:\itunesbackup or whatever directory you have chosen. You now have a link between the two directories (the untouchable iTunes backup folder and your new symlinked folder).

In the Command Prompt, change the current c:\ directory to the new iTunes backup one by typing cd \\\ and replacing the text in the brackets.You can use Windows Explorer or Command Prompt for this step. Create a new, empty directory such as C:\itunesbackup where you want future backups to go.Make a manual backup of the iTunes directory %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup ( version) or %userprofile%\Apple\MobileSync\Backup (Windows 10 Store version).Note: The iTunes app on the /itunes web page is now only for older versions (12.10.11 and below) since they tell you to use the Microsoft Store. You create the link at the operating system level, and from then on, anything sent to the first directory in the link (in this case, the default backup location) is instead sent to the second directory (the directory you set up). In Windows 10, a symbolic link creates a connection between two folders.
