If you recently purchased a new Mac or updated your operating system, you may be wondering where iTunes is located. In the past, iTunes was a default application on Macs, but with the release of macOS Catalina, Apple has replaced iTunes with three separate apps: Music, TV, and Podcasts. In this article, we will discuss where to find these apps and how to manage them on your Mac.
Where to Find iTunes on Mac
If you are using an older version of macOS, you can find iTunes in your Applications folder. Simply click on the Applications icon in your dock or go to Finder > Applications. From there, you can scroll through the list of applications until you find iTunes. If you are using macOS Catalina or newer, you will not find iTunes in your Applications folder. Instead, you will find three separate apps: Music, TV, and Podcasts.
Music App
The Music app on Mac is the new home for all your music. It allows you to access your entire music library, purchase new music, and listen to Apple Music. To open the Music app, click on the Applications icon in your dock or go to Finder > Applications. From there, you can scroll through the list of applications until you find Music. You can also use the search bar in the top right corner of your screen to search for “Music.”
TV App
The TV app on Mac is where you can access all your favorite TV shows and movies. It also allows you to purchase or rent new content and subscribe to Apple TV+. To open the TV app, click on the Applications icon in your dock or go to Finder > Applications. From there, you can scroll through the list of applications until you find TV. You can also use the search bar in the top right corner of your screen to search for “TV.”
Podcasts App
The Podcasts app on Mac is where you can listen to all your favorite podcasts. It also allows you to discover new podcasts and subscribe to your favorites. To open the Podcasts app, click on the Applications icon in your dock or go to Finder > Applications. From there, you can scroll through the list of applications until you find Podcasts. You can also use the search bar in the top right corner of your screen to search for “Podcasts.”
Why Can’t I Download iTunes on My Mac?
If you are unable to download iTunes on your Mac, it is most likely because you are using macOS Catalina or newer. As mentioned earlier, Apple has replaced iTunes with three separate apps: Music, TV, and Podcasts. If you prefer to use iTunes, you can still access it on your Mac by downloading an older version of macOS or using a virtual machine.
How to Delete iTunes on Mac
If you no longer want to use iTunes on your Mac, you can easily delete it. To do so, click on the Applications icon in your dock or go to Finder > Applications. From there, find iTunes and drag it to the Trash. You can also right-click on iTunes and select “Move to Trash.” Once you have deleted iTunes, you can empty your Trash to permanently remove it from your Mac.
