artist doesn't download to my iphone

I have a playlist that I've downloaded to my iphone. There are 2 songs missing. When I go in and check, the 2 songs are for the same artist. I went into the sync function of my iphone in itunes and selected the artist to try and force my phone to take the songs but that didn't work. What should I do?

I attached a screenshot in case I'm not explaining myself correctly. I'm terrible with tech...

Thanks for any guidance! :-)

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Hi thewhitecat,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re missing a couple of songs from your playlist. I’m happy to help. If you haven’t already, I suggest deleting and redownloading the songs to your computer before syncing again.


I also suggest making sure that iTunes is updated:


Update to the latest version of iTunes - Apple Support


Then, follow these steps for syncing:


Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes on your computer - Apple Support


Take care.
