My Mac Pro 5,1 can’t run Catalina, so does that mean I’m not going to be able to sync my iPhone with iTunes anymore?

When Apple switches to the Music app, will my songs no longer be available in iTunes to organize and sync with my legacy iPhone 7 Plus?

I’m pretty concerned because I can’t afford a new Mac just to sync my music.

I'm pretty sure (at least I hope), that there is a way to facilitate your needs (and mine, and many thousands of others in the same boat).

Mojave will be supported for a long time to come, so don't panic yet. The final point release of Mojave hasn't even hit yet, and neither has Catalina been released. Plenty of time to figure it out.

Can’t upgrade to Mojave either :-(

iTunes remains in older system versions.
