Cannot load music on Apple Watch (series 3) Hi all: I have tried all the common suggestions for this problem to no avail (restarting both devices, making sure Bluetooth and WiFi are on, making sure the watch AND phone are charging, updating the watch to the new iOS, etc.). I'm at a loss. How can it be this difficult to transfer music (on my phone and the cloud)? Everything else is working seamlessly, but this is really frustrating. Podcasts are loading, but I cannot get a single song/album to load onto the watch. I tried leaving it loading overnight, and it was still spinning in the morning. FYI: Using an iPhone 8 and watch is Series 3 (no cellular). Both have the latest iOS. Please help!

Sync music to Apple Watch 8 - some songs won't sync Issue Syncing playlists to Apple Watch 8 gets stuck on "waiting" but only for certain songs. Any one got any ideas on fixing? Background I have an Apple Watch 8. I noticed that a new playlist was not syncing to my watch (stuck on 'waiting'). I have tried all the standard fixes (restart, ensuring same network, tried 2.4GHz only, tried no network - but don't want do yet another re-pair) etc. There is definitely a connection to my iPhone. Testing There are 15 songs on the problematic playlist. I created 15 new playlists each with ONE song from the problematic playlist. Of the 15 new playlists, 4 sync perfectly (and quickly). The others are stuck on waiting. All of the songs are downloaded to my iPhone (and all are 14 or 24bit lossless). Any ideas?

The sync should normally happen as soon as you put the watch on the charger. Try with one single album first.
