Hi randolph68,


You're in the right place for help, and we can gladly walk you through the steps to sync music with your iPhone. If you're an Apple Music subscriber, turning on Sync Library will automatically update the music library so that the content on your iMac and iPhone match.

Please let us know if you have any other questions, or if we misunderstood your original concern, and we'll continue to assist.


Take care!
