Syncing with iPhones/iPads running iOS 16

Post by rusty »

MediaMonkey for Windows 5.0.4 beta has been updated to be compatible with iOS 16 and is available via the MediaMonkey 5 beta forum. Version 5.0.4 is expected to be released in a few weeks. [EDIT: 5.0.4 has been released]

For MediaMonkey 4, the iPhone Sync Plugin v16 has been released.

So does iOS 16 mark the end of the ability to sync with an iPhone from MM 4?

Hi,

We're actually planning on posting an updated addon for this once the work on MMW 5.0.4 slows down. In other words--it should be fairly soon.

I don't think Rusty answered the question. Will MM provide a plug-in for ios 16? We don't care about MM5. I am dead in the water!

It is on our TO-DO, but only after 5.0.4. Stable gets out.

Thanks Peke. I may be at the point of just buying a cheap windows laptop and loading MM5. I am sick of these synch issues.

Ok so I hate ITunes, Why? Because iTunes, from my POV, seems to, dare I say "randomly" deletes, removes, hides, whatever you wish to call it music I have purchased as CD's and ripped to my home computer then added to my iPhone. I am using MM with the beta 5.0.4.
If I have "synch" with iTunes enabled, then I loose music.
Recently I upgraded my iPhone 7 plus to a 14 pro... with the new iOS 16. Well to my surprise with the new iOS 16, I cannot use the music on my iPhone 14 because Apple forces you to have the synch enabled.
Unless there are guru's out there that can help with how to use MM and iPhone iOS 16, then it looks like I am sunk...
Or
Hunting for a third party music player that will work on the iPhone.
Thanks all

Hi,
re deletion of MM synced content by iTunes, this sounds like https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16998
Recently I upgraded my iPhone 7 plus to a 14 pro... with the new iOS 16. Well to my surprise with the new iOS 16, I cannot use the music on my iPhone 14 because Apple forces you to have the synch enabled.
Can you elaborate what do you mean by this? Are you saying that you need to use iTunes for sync? I guess that using MediaMonkey exclusivelly and not iTunes for syncing does not wipe the MM content, right?

No itunes at all. I have Itunes installed but do not use it.

All of my music and playlists are in MM4 and I synch my iPhone using MM4. MM4 runs on a iMac with parallels. Used to work until ios 16 on the IPhone.

So my syncing issue is with MM4.

VERY SORRY. THOUGHT YOU WERE REPLYING TO ME. MY MISTAKE.

Hi,
Moved this to right forum.

That explains it as we plan if possible (due the recent itunes changes) to upgrade plugin for MM4 after 5.0.4. gets out, but no promises. As preview see this https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 06#p502406

I guess you know that we have internal working version of MM on MAC OS, but not yet for public appearance.

Yes Peke you did tell me about MM for IOS awhile ago but now being dead in the water on synching with MM4 and Parallels, I have to do something. It's gonna cost me but I can't stand not being able to use MM.

I tried the IOS 16 plug in but it's just not working. It did remove the error message that the iPhone was read only but still not working for me.

Thanks for the reply.

I've kept MM4 and install a portable version of MM5 beta to sync with my iOS16 phone every time I want to update it. Not ideal, but I've had no issues so far. Then I uninstall MM5, make any library changes I want on MM4 and reinstall the portable MM5 every time. Takes like 3 extra minutes.

Yes, there is plugin with iOS16 for MM4, it is just not relased/published it yet : https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19455

To test the MM4 plugin for iOS download the MMIP from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5pdveii3kds4d ... .mmip?dl=0

Tried, the new one and the downloadable one from devices, sync starts one file and stops. Very Sad. :(
