Iphone sync Apply button greyed out.

Question

Iphone sync Apply button greyed out.

Hi,

Have the latest software installed on both iPhone XR and Mac (Monterey). The first time i synched, i trusted the device on computer and got the coloured status bar in finders sync window along with the Apply button. But now whenever i try to sync, it shows the apply button as greyed out and status bar is always running the sync. I can't get the apply button to angry even if i make changes in albums selected.

I even let it completely finish a few times, but it still doesn't allow me to click it. The step 4 of syncing takes a long time as well.

Would appreciate any help in getting the sync function running smoothly again.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Try booting to Safe Mode and then syncing. The boot up takes minutes. Safe Mode clears caches and does other things that may resolve your problem
