Answered by Edward Huber

To transfer music from your iPhone to your Mac without using a USB cable, you can utilize the iCloud Music Library or the Sync Library feature. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Enable iCloud Music Library on iPhone:
– Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
– Tap on your name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID settings.
– Select “iCloud” and then “Music.”
– Toggle on the “iCloud Music Library” option.

2. Enable iCloud Music Library on Mac:
– Open the Apple Music app on your Mac.
– Go to “Music” in the menu bar and click on “Preferences.”
– Select the “General” tab and check the box next to “Sync Library” or “iCloud Music Library.”

3. Sign in with the same Apple ID:
– Ensure that you are signed in to both your iPhone and your Mac using the same Apple ID.

4. Wait for synchronization:
– Once iCloud Music Library or Sync Library is enabled, your iPhone and Mac will automatically sync your music libraries.

5. Access music on your Mac:
– Open the Music app on your Mac.
– You should now see all the music from your iPhone in your Mac’s music library.

By following these steps, your music will be seamlessly transferred from your iPhone to your Mac without the need for a USB cable. Any changes you make to your music library on one device will be reflected on the other.

It’s worth mentioning that the speed of the transfer will depend on your internet connection and the size of your music library. If you have a large collection of music, it may take some time for the synchronization process to complete.

Additionally, keep in mind that only music purchased from the iTunes Store or added to your library using Apple Music will be available for syncing. Any music obtained from other sources may not be eligible for synchronization through iCloud Music Library or Sync Library.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you transfer your music from your iPhone to your Mac effortlessly.
