I looked up on google and it appears that for the set up only you need to have your phone connected to iTunes and then turn on wireless synch.
However the behaviour you describe when your keyboard is non responsive when your phone is connected is something I have never experienced. There sounds like it is a problem with the OS at some level. I think you can still repair permissions with the Onyx free utility and trouble shooting steps like resetting the Pram may be in order. In the end you may have to re-install the OS if it does not behave properly. Another approach is to avoid iTunes entirely and purchase the excellent and accessible Waltr app from the App Store which will transfer music to your phone simply by copying and pasting from Finder to the App. For what it is worth here is the link from Google on setting up wireless synch. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203075 There is no reference to either Apple Music or iTunes Match or iCloud.

Why not? To clarify that last sentence, my device does not appear in the left hand sidebar under any circumstances. There is a reference to an iPhone under Preferences/devices. But no way to choose manual options of any kind. On Oct 24, 2017, at 1:56 PM, Kevin Gibbs <kevj...@gmail.com> wrote: Let me add some more information. I avoided joining Apple Music because I have some content on my computer that is not commercially released and I was given to understand that joining Apple Music might erase that kind of private content from my library if AM couldn't match it. I just read a new article about turning on iCloud Music Library that said something about having the choice to merge your content on your devices with Apple Music. This sounds like it should prevent the erasure of private, noncommercial recordings. but don't want to screw with it right now. In any event, still don't know how to change the settings related to my iPhone in iTunes on my Mac because, when the phone is connected, the QWERTY keyboard is toast. Further, even with my Trackpad, which does work in all cases, I can't see how to get to the devices tab in a way where I could make these changes anyway. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
