You can set these to sync just as you could before but now you're just doing it in the Finder. The same is true for the rest of the Media Tabs here. These are things we had before in iTunes but now they are in the Finder. I can also includes videos or automatically fill free space with songs. I can switch to Albums, Genres, or Playlists. It will list those down here so I can check them off. If I turn that on what it will allow me to do is sync my entire music library just as before or select an artist, album, genres, playlists. You can switch to one of these Media Tabs like, for instance, Music. You've got some other options here at the bottom as well. You can manually backup to your Mac if you want. So under General here it's going to give you some information about your iPhone or iPad. You could switch to any of these and the insides of them look just like they did in iTunes. You had these Tabs at the top with General, Music, Movies, etc. Now this is going to look very familiar because this is what it looked like in iTunes previous to macOS Catalina. Now let's make this window a little bit bigger. If you look on the left under Locations you should see your phone. So we're in Finder and we create a New Finder window. Let's forget about the Music app and go into Finder instead. Let me show you the regular way to get there. Now if you click that you're going to end up in the same place where I'm about to show you. There's no tabs up here for syncing or anything. You're not going to see any of the regular settings. All you're going to see is maybe some voice memos and some other things. But if you click on it all you're going to get here is a list of things, in this case I have nothing on this iPhone. Sure enough if you launch it and your iPhone is connected you'll see it appear on the left under devices just as before. Instead you've got the Music app which looks a lot like iTunes. So when you first connect to your iPhone the natural thing to do would be to go to iTunes. It actually looks pretty much the same and works pretty much the same. All of those functions have been moved from iTunes and are now just available in the Finder. How can you sync your iPhone from your Mac if you don't have iTunes. So this was like the number one question I've been asked about the update to Catalina. That's where you can read about the Patreon campaign, join us, and get exclusive content. MacMost is brought to you thanks to a great group of supporters. How do you do an old fashioned sync of your music and other data from your Mac to your iPhone.
