Not too long ago, Apple updated its iTunes app with a new design, but unfortunately, some users who upgraded to iTunes 12 immediately encountered various issues. The user interface might seem confusing all of a sudden, and managing music libraries, or performing syncing tasks might be very annoying, at least for some people. However, Wondershare has put together a quick infographic that walks you through everything you need to do to regain control of iTunes 12.
