Q: Playlists and music are not syncing (can't add any music to my iPhone now)

I agree, i was trying to sync only 3 songs, if i turn off my iCloud Music Library i have to redownload almost 600 songs to offline again.. I had issues with apple music, when i upgraded my ios to 9.2, all of my saved to offline song was gone then i have to redownload them, then after 2 weeks i dunno what happened when i opened my apple music all my music offline was gone "AGAIN" i was like wth, they wanted me to waste my data redownloading for offline. So for now i decided not to turn off iCloud music library just for the 3 songs i wish they have the song that i wanted to sync but can't find them on apple music

Hi

I have just come across this thread as I think it relates to my problems and without reading through every page Im unsure if there is a solution or not.

Basically before I signed up to Apple Music I just had purchased iTunes albums and CD rips that I transferred to my iTunes library and then automatically synced everything when I connected my iPod touch to my laptop.

When I started the Apple music trial I noticed that music was not syncing when my iPod was connected, I looked under the device settings within iTunes and noticed the sync settings no longer stated "sync entire music library" but was replaced with "iCloud music library on".

If I turn this off I can sync my own music as before, but doing so deletes any Apple music I have saved for offline listening, it also stops me saving playlists and so on.

Is there a easy fix without turning iCloud library off?

side note/ with it on Apple seems to screw with some of my own cd rips album artwork!!!

thanks

Was having same problem with OSX 10.11.2 and iOS 9.2 (Playlists was out of sync on devices)

Found fix for syncing iCloud stored playlists between iPhone and MacBook: Click 'Like' button for playlist, after few seconds, if playlist audio files were stored at device, only missing tracks will be downloaded.

Indeed, that's not user-friendly experience for now, and I personally hope that bug will be fixed with next patch (iOS or OSX)

it works! thank you very much!

Thank you for this tip! Much appreciated.

Not sure where the Like button is. On my Mac iTunes is it the heart icon within the playlist? I tried that and it didn't sync the playlist.

wow - we're deep into ios9 and STILL having this problem. I don't use cloud or apple music or itunes match - but i can't get all the music on my playlist to show up. My playlist is 115 songs. When iphone is plugged into computer, it says iphone has 115 songs. When I look at playlist on iphone, it only lists 95!  Got plenty of memory, all tracks are "checked".

For an iphone 6 and the 12.3.3.17 itunes, if you created an mp3 version of a song, in addition to the purchased aac,

itunes gets confused and omits the song from the playlist on your phone.

I killed the mp3s from the itunes song list and problem solved.

Thank you! This was the issue for me.

Awesome!

This WORKS!!!!  After trying a ton of different things and being very frustrated for a couple of days, I tried this - changed the genre - and it Worked!  I now have all my songs on my phone again.  THANKS A LOT FOR POSTING!!!

i tried everything I could think of. This fixed my problem and everything started to download immediatel. Thank you!

Thank you, Save me the day...
