Hi,


How to sync your iPhone or iPad if you use a Mac

Even though Apple broke up iTunes into several different apps -- Music, TV and Podcasts -- you won't find a "sync" app on your Mac. After updating to Catalina, you'll still connect your Apple device to your Mac using a USB cable, but instead of opening iTunes, you'll open Finder (the same app you use to manage files and folders). 

When you have an iOS device connected to your Mac, it will show up under the Locations section of the sidebar in Finder; click on your device...
