Update regarding synching the iPhone 13 with ios 15.0.2………
Full synch does NOT work. I have to synch 96 playlists individually. I plug in my iphone, pull up playlists on the tree and right click on one playlist. Select the send to option and slide over to iphone 13. The playlist will then synch to my iPhone. It takes about 17 minutes per 100 titles. So my top 1000 songs takes over 2 hours to synch. This is unreasonable. Also I noticed that the synching counter in the lower left corner loses focus and does not increment the count unless I focus on another window, like task manager, and then back to MM5. This is just a minor irritation but none the less a bug.
One man’s opinion: I think we (media monkey users) are victims of the rush to market of MM5. In an effort to quickly pull in the extra cash of MM Gold, the accountants or GODs or whomever at MM decided that it was “good enough” to release. It is not good enough when you can’t even perform the most basic function of synching an iPhone in a timely fashion. I am aware that these developers are not saving lives but anything worth doing is worth doing right. Thank God these people are not in the medical field or working for NASA. It seems no effort was put into ios 15 in MM4. I see this as customers are necessary evils. Much like insurance companies. Let’s charge more and deliver less! Okay, enough on accounting decisions.
With all that stated, I can’t thank Peke and and Lowlander enough for their support. Peke did get my MM5 working on my iMac running Parallels. It is “taped” together but I am limping along. My primary goal is to synch my music to my iPhone and I am now making that happen. It might take 20+ hours to synch 96 playlists but at least I have my music on my phone.
I would prefer to continue to use MM4 and synch my iPhone 13 with ios 15 because the MM4 user interface works well for me.
Okay, done.
