Sync iPhone with Finder (MacOS Catalina)

I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook (Catalina 10.15) and I expected to find an icon on the Finder bar with my iPhone, as per news of the new feature in Catalina. My iPhone is now plugged in (IOS is also updated) and I find nothing at all on the Finder bar. I unplug it, and plug it in again: still nothing.


Between my Dock not appearing . . .

They "Dashboard gone" from Catalina . . .

Now this . . . it seems Apple wants to use up hours of my day recovering from this upgrade.

Not sure what is going on with your dock, but Dock icon in system preferences may fix that issue

Your widget are not gone ,Just Dashboard is gone..., They can be added to your notification and found in the right top corner in the slide out option.

As far as your phone, open finder window preferences and look at side bar option then check show DVD and iOS devices. .

happy days

Thank you!

As for Dock: seems there are lots & lots of users with the same problem. Under System Pref we have Dock "active" but it has totally disappeared from the bottom of the screen. We can only access it via Mission Control.


Thanks for the tip about the Widgets. I use them constantly and regretted not having access to them so your pointer here is much appreciated!
