After this post I'll be posting a bug report about the skip backup button (the cross next to your phone in the phone in the Finder Sidebar ) not responding. Managing music and iPhone backup really should be separate. I will use the iCloud backup method for now, but I'm not happy about it. I could use iMazing, but as we've seen you can't totally separate syncing from some form of backup. It seems to me that Apple is going to have to fix this situation, or I will be forced to have to find, and pay for, a decent third party alternative. It appears to me that Apple is showing less and less regard about upgrade difficulties. Since iTunes has been a thing I've been building up an iTunes library with hours and hours of effort building a system that makes it straightforward to use directly and sync a suitable subset to my iPhone. I have had some huge problems with the last few. I've spent at least two decades looking forward to and then relishing new MacOS versions, but not any more. You should just be able to turn off "backup to this computer" without having to choose iCloud backups. The fact that it's a toggle is a problem if you don't want either option. I just assumed you'd read between the lines. Stack Exchange has a much better forum model. I really don't like Apple's community forum setup. This isn't the first thread on this question and I only started this because I couldn't add to any of the others. I’m trying to assist, but your last response didn’t give me any information to work with. I got my first Mac, a second hand SE, back in 1989 and I'm not feeling the Apple thing these days, the way I used to. I've had some trouble with it, but now seem to have crossed that bridge. There's a lot of grief out there on there internet about how it's affected many people. I'm also not impressed with Apple's handling of the process of moving from an old music library file into the new Music format. If you click on the cross in the new finder interface, it doesn't stop, which is why I brought up the possibility of the process being broken. You used to be able to click on an icon to skip the backup process. At least it's a workaround until Apple comes up with something better. So, you're saying that if your iPhone doesn't back up on the computer in question, you can still sync it as usual? If so, your input is helpful, thanks. I just wanted to clarify that, because I have suggestions of turning backup off before, that involved doing the song updating manually, which is real backward step from the convenience we had previously. Was a question, that could have been answered with "No, I am using sync as normal".
