any suggestions would be appreciated

I had that problem too, in MacOS Monterey you need to connect the iPhone/other device to you're Mac. Then open the "Music"

app if you're device is connected it'll show in "Devices", there's a button that says "Open In Finder" click on it and its like iTunes so you can restore/update and see storage and stuff. hope that's helpful.

The Music app is built into the OS and cannot be downloaded or reinstalled from the app store. Reinstalling the OS is the only way to reinstall the app. Music and Finder in Monterey should be compatible with your iPhone SE. If you're having trouble syncing then you can try removing all Music from the device to clean things up and try syncing again, or backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore your backup for a more comprehensive reset.

Unfortunately, only iTunes works for my (ancient) iPhone SE and my new(ish) M1 Mac Mini running Monterey 12.3.


I'm trying to fix a handshake problem - music syncing stuck in Step 3 of 4 (aka "The **** That Is 'Determining tracks to sync'"). The struggle is real (and unnecessary). Two hours at this and limited, ineffective solutions.


Apple should just be upfront and say, 'we don't support certain combinations of hard/software' and be done with it. The lack of info is what grates.
