iPhone Sync in Ventura 13.3 no longer shows up in Sidebar of finder and must be launched from Music, but iPad remains in finder
So yes I do still sync music from my Mac. I have a huge collection of live music and I sync from my computer and do not let Apple Sync my library (as I don't want it to get messed up), though I have Apple Music for streaming.
After updating to Ventura 13.3, I was surprised to see that my iPhone no longer showed up in my finder when I connected it, to sync music from my computer. I thought something was wrong and restarted and ran utilities, but it never showed up.
Strangely it still shows up in Music, and I have to go into Music, and then click on the Sync Settings... button, which opens a finder window with the sync settings for my iPhone, and lets me sync, but strangely it doesn't show up in the sidebar of the finder.
What is even weirder, is that my iPad still shows up in the finder and lets me sync as it has since the introduction of the Apple Music app.
Now I liked sync better when it was in iTunes than in the finder (as I could do wifi sync, which was quitable by quiting the app, unlike the finder sync which I can't stop unless it finishes, in case I need to emergency restart my computer), but having it split across Music and the Finder is just weird, and hopefully a bug or mistake.
Here you can see my iPhone syncing, but only my iPad shows up on the left.
And here is my iPhone in music where you can see the Sync Settings button that you must now hit to open a finder window that shows my phone.
I have been quite surprised that no on has posted about this that I have seen online, so I decided I needed to post, but I have also submitted in Apple Feedback.
