I have a mac and an iPhone. I have apple music. Both are signed into my iCloud music library. I thought everything would be synchronized on both devices, but I have different playlists on my iPhone than my mac. How can I make sure that the whole library is synchronized on both devices so they look the same.
Sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign back in.
In settings - Music - Turn off iCloud Music Library and then turn it back on.and Turn on “Show Apple Music”
keep in mind when you sign out of iTunes for whatever reason it can turn off iCloud music library, so always make sure it’s turned on again after you do that.

You need to Turn on iCloud Music Library on your Mac as well. Once you have that turned on across all devices, any changes you make should sync. If you changed anything on your Mac this changes your phone and vice versa. This all needs to be with the same Apple ID.
On Your Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences.
On the General tab, select iCloud Music Library to turn it on.
Click OK.

you can also repeat the steps in the first reply to re- sync, any time it’s not syncing
Thanks for your help. I did what you suggested and it started synchronizing art work etc. but when I plug my iPhone into my Mac I still see 8 playlists on my iPhone (according to my Mac) that don’t seem to be on my iPhone when I unplug it. I’m concerned I’m getting out of sync with iCloud.
I have music on my iphone but whenever i go to play it, it states "the song is not synced across your devices, to play it here go to itunes and turn on clound syncing".
If it was that easy, HOW do you turn on cloud syncing!!
