Is there a reason why syncing stopped working?

Whenever I sync on my iTunes from my computer (Windows 10) iTunes tells me it is "Preparing to sync" for step 2 out of 4, after that happens it finishes quickly but nothing new had appeared that I added to my iTunes, it worked not a long time ago but after updating seemingly it stopped working.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15

iTunes 12.8.2.3 and iOS 13.7 - Can't Sync Devices Anymore I'm running the latest version of MacOS High Sierra and I have the latest version of iOS and iTunes for the platforms respectively. I can't sync any devices via iTunes that are running iOS 13.7. iTunes just crashes after the backup process completes before new music can be synced to my iPhone Xs or my iPod Touch (7th generation). I'm using a genuine lightning cable and I've even gone so far as to reinstall iTunes. I've restarted all devices. I think the latest iOS update broke something in iTunes. I'm perplexed as Apple just updated iTunes, for MacOS High Sierra, to ensure interoperability with the latest iOS. There was a long period where iTunes and iOS didn't work together for those of us still running MacOS High Sierra. This needs to be fixed right away Apple.

Suddenly iTunes sync button greyed out I added some albums to my library in iTunes for Windows and went to sync them to my iPhone 14 Pro but the sync button is grey and can't be pushed. I'm using 12.12.9.4. I tried re-installing iTunes with no luck, then I uninstalled and tried the preview versions from the Microsoft Store but had no better results. I also tried doing this with my new work MacBook Pro but get the same problem there. I've been adding music to sync to my library for many years and have never seen this before.

See Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support. Perhaps your sync selections need updating.
