My computer recognizes my iPad, but the new Music app doesn't. I can't sync. What can I do?

My question is what can I do. ITunes worked perfectly, and I have no intention of subscribing to Apple Music. I am so very sorry that I upgraded to Catalina, as now my Microsoft Word also will not work.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Finder, not the Music app, is where you now manage and sync content on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.


For an overview of the changes in Catalina regarding media apps, see the article below.


What happened to iTunes?

BTW, you don't have to subscribe to Apple Music to use the new Music app.
