The solutions introduced above still apply, but with a different entrance. Here are the details: Apple removed iTunes on macOS Catalina. Instead of being integrated into one app, your music, videos, podcasts, and audiobooks are organized in to their own dedicated apps.

But from Finder, you can also find all account and device related functions like sync, restore, backup and more. Just in iTunes.
