I hope I am posting this in the correct place.
I downloaded version 12.7 of iTunes this morning, and it does not allow me to purchase apps from the store anymore. It seems I have to do that from my iPhone. I live where there is no cell phone signal, and I really do not want to wait until I leave home to download or delete apps.
I tried to revert to an older version of iTunes, but it tells me the exported library was created on a newer version that it cannot read.
Can someone help?
I dont have itunes, but wife does. Have you tried syncing to the new itunes?
Go to the app store.
Today, Apple quietly released iTunes version 12.7 for both Windows and macOS, and the most immediate change is that it no longer contains any options for syncing apps or ringtones to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.Sep 13, 2017

You can get Apps, but you have to do it from your iPhone, iPad and or Apple computer.
I’ll assume you have internet, and WiFi. You’re phone will download apps via WiFi.
I can’t help except to say I’m having a lot of problems with my Apple products (iPhone, iMac, MacBook) following the latest rounds of software updates.
I know. I would really like to revert to an older version, but it won’t read the library created by the newer one.

Is it just me, or does Apple intentionally try to be incompatible with ANY OTHER system?
My thoughts exactly.
LOL!! I needed that!
Reauthorize your computer?
How?
Sorry to hijack the post but does anyone know of reliable, easy to use, alternatives to iTunes?
Call up apple customer service and see if they can help. There are also online forums that might help. The solution may be quite simple but unless you know what to do it can be very frustrating.
I am leery of updates.
Microsoft Office 2003 is far better than newer versions..easier to navigate
same with Nero 7 being better than new versions.
Is it Geeks Gone Wild ????
Well, I gave up and reinstalled 12.7. I’ll live with it, but I won’t like it. Thanks to all for your comments.
would actually be a great vanity post. You’ll get more answers.
