I cannot see a way to sync my iTunes music to my iPhone XR. My Mac is a 2009 with OS X El Capitan. I cannot upgrade the Mac to another OS. When I connect phone to computer, it does not show up on iTunes or in Finder. Is there a way?

If you purchased the music form the iTunes store, you will not loose any music. You could essentially make a copy of your music library onto a portable hard drive and transfer it to your new computer. If you try to play a purchased song on your new computer, it will automatically verify that you own it as long as you are signed into your iTunes account on your new computer. If you are not signed in, it will ask you to do so and then verify that you own the song and you will be able to play it.

Hi! El Capitan is more than likely too old of an OS to let you connect to your XR.
That's what I was afraid of. Does anyone know a way to get my music to my XR from the old mac? There is a lot of music on the computer and I'd hate to lose it all since I paid for it!
Thank you! I'll give it a try
