I can't transfer music or playlists to iPhone. Can't find sync with iPhone anywhere. iTunes version 12.9.5.5 MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. I find the directions in Apple support inaccurate as far as options they suggest.
No sync option available. See two screen shots below.
I've tried restoring my iPhone and reinstalling iTunes on my Mac.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.14
Hey Philip Hanft,
You may need to turn off iCloud Music Library on your iPhone as well.

Hello Philip Hanft,
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. In order to sync music from iTunes to your iPhone, you'll need to turn off iCloud Music Library. Having this feature on will prevent you from accessing the option to sync music from iTunes to your iPhone.
To disable iCloud Music Library in iTunes, you'll want to make sure that iTunes is open > go to the menu bar and select iTunes > Preferences > Click the checkbox next to iCloud Music Library to uncheck it.
From there, you can attempt to sync your music. Please let the community know if that helps.
Best regards.
Thanks for your response. Tried doing what you suggested. Didn't work. See 2 screen shots below.
I turned off iCloud Library (see above) and it stays on. (See below)
Thank you very, very much. I have been wrestling with this problem for over a week.
Philip Hanft,
You're welcome! Glad to hear that helped. Let us know if you're ever in need of assistance.
Have a good one.
