[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1836498, member: 234411"] Just a follow-up to [B]Pothypine's[/B] questions on Catalina and use w/ iDevices - I decided to explore this cabled connection and the new options in Finder more (since still a novice to this macOS) - again, cabled my iPad Pro to the MBAir and opened Finder - the iDevice is visible in the left column (first pic below) - clicking on the device icon brings up the screen on the right w/ numerous tabs, opening in 'General' - just a note on the 'Backups' options - two radio buttons exits to backup either to the Cloud or to the computer - I've not explored these fully since I'm always doing Cloud backups on my iDevices and use iMazing as a complement to 'fuller' backups - but a recent [URL="https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/back-up-ios-device-on-mac-catalina/"]MacRumors Article[/URL] explains for those interested. As to the 'Music' tab (see second pic), I've never liked to 'sync' my computer's music files w/ my iDevices, just seem somewhat idiosyncratic regarding adding/erasing files, SO I do not have the sync option checked; BUT, for those who want to explore this Finder alternative to transferring music then try - I'd probably start w/ 'Selected artists etc' as a safer introduction, but only a guess. For those who do use this Sync tab, please post back your results - may help others. Dave . [ATTACH=FULL]30699[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH=FULL]30700[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
