iPhone 11 and Catalina (1 Viewer)

[Johnny Angell]

Apple is telling me that to sync my 11 I have to upgrade to Catalina. I do that and I lose Photoshop CS 6. Anyone else run across this? The tech tells me they use the music app to update the phone and not iTunes.

I always sync to iCloud, so I don't have to worry about compatibility with a desktop anymore.

When I plugged in the phone and started up iTunes, I got a message saying that an update needed to be installed for the phone to work. So I did it, it was a small update and now I can sync.

Solved. Thanks for all the advice, guys.

But how about another question. I just synced a whole bunch of music to me phone, all or nearly all, had art. If I look at the music by artist, most of it doesn't have art. By song, it all has art. By album, it all has art. I find this odd.

iTunes is odd.
