iTunes can be a chore, but here’s some happy news. In macOS Catalina, you no longer need to use iTunes to backup and restore your iPhone or iPad. And if you’re running a previous version of macOS, you can use a third-party app.
Backup and Restore in macOS Catalina and Newer
In macOS Catalina, iTunes has been disbanded into multiple apps: Podcasts, TV, and Music. The responsibility of backing up and syncing the iPhone and iPad goes to the Finder app.
After connecting your iPhone or iPad to your Mac, open the Finder app. Here, you’ll see your iPhone or iPad in the “Locations” section. Select your device from the sidebar.
If this is the first time you’re syncing your iPhone or iPad, you’ll be prompted to trust the device. If prompted, click on the “Trust” button on the Mac. Then, on your iPhone or iPad, click the “Trust” button from the prompt and then enter the device passcode.
Once authenticated, you’ll see the device management screen for your iPhone or iPad right in the Finder window. If you’ve used iTunes previously to sync your iOS or iPadOS device, you’ll feel right at home.
To back up your iPhone or iPad, go to the “Backups” section and switch to the “Back Up All the Data on Your iPhone/iPad to This Mac” option.
