Re: Transfering music from iPhone to Mac laptop

I guess you keep it in the cloud and don’t download anything to your device.

Re: Transfering music from iPhone to Mac laptop

2020-12-12 Thread Brad Snyder 
If what you want to do is add new content to your Music library on your Mac, do 
the following:
1.  Open your Home folder using CMD + Shift + H.
2.  Navigate to Music > iTunes > iTunes Media.
3.  In this folder, you will find a folder called Automatically Add to Music.  
this is where you should copy items that you want to add to your Music library.
The next time you open the Music app on your Mac, the contents of this folder 
will be added to your library.
Note:  Since you upgraded your Mac from an earlier version of macOS, you will 
also have a folder called Automatically Add to iTunes.  This folder is left 
over from the earlier version of the macOS, and should not be used since iTunes 
has been replaced by the Music app in Catalina.

HTH.

Re: Transfering music from iPhone to Mac laptop

2020-12-12 Thread Jeff Berwick 
If you go to your Home folder on your Mac, there is a folder called “Music.”  
Inside that folder, is another folder called “music” and inside that is one 
called “Media.”  Inside the media folder is one called “Automatically add to 
Music.”

Anything you put in the “Automatically add to Music” folder will be imported 
into your library the next time you open music.

Hth,
Jeff

the “method" I described works only for syncing a music library between Apple

If you want to transfer other content between your Mac and your iOS device, I 
recommend using a cloud storage service like iCloud Drive or Dropbox.

Re: Transfering music from iPhone to Mac laptop

2020-12-12 Thread Brad Snyder 
1.  You might try using the Sync Library feature in the Music app on both your 
iPhone and Mac.  This does not require a paid subscription to the Apple Music 
service.

To enable this feature on your iPhone, go to Settings > Music, and look for the 
Sync Library toggle, and make sure it is turned on.

On your Mac, go to the Music app, and open Preferences using CMD + comma.  Once 
in the Music app’s Preferences, select the General tab from the toolbar, then 
navigate to the Sync Library checkbox, and make sure it is checked.

Once this has been done on both devices, your library will sync in the cloud.  
this may take a while, so be patient.

2.  Beginning with macOS Catalina, iTunes is no more, and has been replaced 
with separate Music, TV and Podcast apps.  Another change in Catalina, is how 
your iOS device is connected to your Mac.  This is now done through Finder.
a.  Connect your iOS device to your Mac using theLightning to USB charging 
cable.
b.  Open any Finder window (such as your Home folder, using CMD + Shift + H).
c.  Navigate to the Sidebar, and locate your iOS device.
d.  Navigate to the folder view area,, and you should find information about 
your iOS device that is very similar to what was displayed in iTunes.

HTH.

Transfering music from iPhone to Mac laptop

2020-12-12 Thread Tod Fassl 
I've been googling and if I am not mistaken, there is no easy way to 
transfer music from my iPone to my Mac laptop, right? It's easy if you 
pay for it by subscribing to Apple Music but there's no easy/free way as 
far as I can tell.


I got a new Mac laptop, plugged in my iPhone, and was surprised to find 
that it didn't do anything. The old Mac opened iTunes automatically and 
allowed me to transfer stuff back & forth.


So now I seem to be kind of SOL. Years ago I painstakingly ripped all my 
CDs. That took weeks. I bought some songs  from Amazon. There are 
hundreds of songs in all. I want to make some new playlists and I'd 
prefer to do that on the laptop where I have a regular keyboard, etc.


Are there any benefits to Apple Music besides allowing me to get my 
music off my phone? I'm not a big streaming music guy. I buy songs and 
make my own playlists.
