If you're looking for a straightforward way to transfer music from Mac to iPhone without syncing via iTunes, AirDrop is a quick and easy method to transfer music files directly between your Mac and iPhone. Follow these steps:
Enable AirDrop:
- On Mac: Open Finder > Click AirDrop in the sidebar. Ensure that it’s set to be discoverable by "Contacts
- Only" or "Everyone".
- On iPhone: Swipe down from the upper-right corner (or up from the bottom on older models) to access the Control Center. Press and hold the network settings card, and enable AirDrop.
Transfer Music:
- Locate the music files you want to transfer on your Mac.
- Right-click on the desired music file, select Share, and then choose AirDrop.
- Choose your iPhone from the list of devices.
- Accept the Transfer: On your iPhone, accept the transfer. The music will typically be saved to a compatible app (such as Files or another music app on your iPhone).
Look, transferring music from Mac to iPhone isn't difficult, is it?
