iTunes not syncing all music to my phone

can anyone help me? I have 400 songs downloaded on my computer, and when i wand to sync them to my iPhone 7 a lot of them don't show up on my phone, even though on iTunes (on my computer) if i go to "on my device" -> "music", all of them appear. so i can't see any error but the songs aren't on my iPhone even if i search for them. also there is a lot of free storage on my iPhone so the issue isn't from the storage.

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hi there, mohamad2003!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having an issue moving music from your PC to your iPhone through iTunes. Check out this article to Manually manage content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iTunes. Specifically:


"If you can't manually add or remove content from your device

Check to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is turned on:

  1. Connect your device to your computer.
  2. Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
  3. Locate and click on your device.
  4. In the left sidebar, click Summary.
  5. Scroll to the Options section.
  6. Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos."
  7. Click Apply. 

You might see a message that your device is synced with another library. This means that you've used a different computer to sync your device in the past, and iTunes can't sync without first erasing and replacing all iTunes content on your device."


Let me know the results and have a wonderful day!
