If you do not mind covering the existed files on your iPhone in the sync procedure, you can take advantage of this software. The detailed steps on how to send files from Mac to iPhone with iTunes are shown below. Here I would like to take music as the instance.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: On your Mac, open iTunes and connect your iPhone with Mac with proper USB cable. Then you need to click on \u201cFile > Add File to Library\u201d to choose the music files on your computer and the added files will show in the iTunes \u201cMusic\u201d library. If you want to transfer other files, such as movies, contacts and so on, the added files will display in corresponding iTunes libraries. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/transfer-files-from-mac-to-iphone-6.jpg\" onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/transfer-files-from-mac-to-iphone-6.jpg\" title=\"Add File to Library\" alt=\"Add File to Library\" width=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Step 2: Go on to click on \u201ciPhone icon > Settings > Summary > Music\u201d, and then you will be able to view all music files in your iTunes on the right part of the window.

The sync process will start at once. When this process is over, you will be able to enjoy the Mac music on your iPhone at ease. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/transfer-files-from-mac-to-iphone-7.jpg\" onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/transfer-files-from-mac-to-iphone-7.jpg\" title=\"Sync Music\" alt=\"Sync Music\" width=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>If you want to transfer other files from Mac to iPhone, you just need to add them to your iTunes library and then sync them to your iPhone.
