Transfer music from Mac library to iPhone

Good morning RDNetty!

I understand you're looking to transfer music from your iMac using macOS Catalina to your iPhone, without Apple Music.

Here's the steps you'll want to follow to sync music from Finder to your iPhone: Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support.

Have a great day!

Hey RDNetty,

Thanks for reaching back out. It sounds like you need to authorize the computer for use with iTunes. Here's how to do that: Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support. If that doesn't do it for you, let us know the exact wording of the message that appears when you attempt to sync.

Cheers.
