Note about access without iTunes on the new macOS operating system "Catalina" (10.15):


Apple removed iTunes from Mac computers in operating system update (macOS "Catalina", Version 10.15). The functions of iTunes were moved into other existing apps. Accessing the files on iPad is now possible with the Finder app. When the iPad is connected to the Mac, it appears on the left side of the Finder window. You can click the iPad icon, and then appears the content of iPad on the right side. There you can find a tab named "Files", and when you click on it, you see all apps that allow accessing their data, also SongBook+. Then click on the app to see the content of the app.

There is no "Add..." button as in iTunes, but you can "drag and drop" files from another Finder window into the app.


To save all your files you can first select one file with the mouse and then press Command+A to select all files. Then you can "drag and drop" the files into another Finder window into a folder of your choice. You can select multiple files one by one by clicking the files with the Command-key held. (Attention: selecting multiple files is not possible before macOS update to version 10.15.4.)


As an alternative access to the files of SongBook+ you can also use WiFi sharing feature of SongBook+. More information about WiiFi sharing can be found in the manual of SongBook+ on page 29: http://www.baum-software.ch/downloads/SongBookManuals/UserManual-SongBook_3_3_rev1_EN.pdf


Another possibility for macOS "Catalina" is to use an iTunes alternative like iFunBox: http://www.i-funbox.com/en/page-download.html
