Now that this is out of the way, maybe Apple can get back to fully debugging iOS 11. This new-old version of the software should work with any official ringtones you've snagged, audiobooks and iTunes U downloads. Apple is doing this because businesses rely on iTunes to install apps on their devices, so by still making iTunes 12.6.3 available for download they are letting users get the missing. You either need to revert to a backed up copy of your previous library, or you need to open iTunes while holding down the Option key (or Shift key on a Windows PC) on your keyboard, then choose 'create a new library.'' Apparently Apple is still letting users download iTunes 12.6.3 for both Windows and Mac platforms, which allows users to search and download iOS apps on computer. 'Your iTunes library will still not be compatible after installing iTunes 12.6.3 on top of iTunes 12.7. Following iTunes' massive overhaul (version 12.7 if you're keeping track at home), the company has since released a version of the software that will let you continue to download and install apps to your handset via a desktop computer.Īccording to reddit though, it isn't as cut and dried as installing the new version (12.6.3 yes, it's a little confusing) and downloading apps. Still need a way to manage your applications and ringtones in addition to your music, movies and other media on your iPhone? Well, there's an app for that.
