(Some) previously purchased music not showing up on iPhone13

Hey 902_ray,

It may be helpful to see where these particular songs or albums are being stored. If files are stored in different locations, perhaps that is the difference in why some are syncing properly and some are not. Try the following from Change where your music files are stored on Mac.

"Locate your Music files

1. In the Music app on your Mac, click Songs in the sidebar.
2. Do one of the following:

• Find out where a file is stored: Select the item, then choose Song > Info.
  • The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the File pane (next to location).
• Show the file in the Finder: Select the item, then choose File > Show in Finder.
  • If you don’t see Show in Finder, the file may be in your music library and not on your computer."

All the best.

Hello 902_ray,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having trouble syncing imported music from your Mac to your iPhone. We'd like to help!

You mentioned not seeing any sync options. Does this include the Sync Library option in the Music app? We'd like to have you try to enable Sync Library in the Music app on your Mac, then on your iPhone. This support article explains how: Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices - Apple Support

If you don't see this specific option, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly for a closer look: Contact - Official Apple Support

Take care.

Apple Music doesn’t co-exist with personal/ripped collections very well. Use instead, a 3rd party app like File Explorer, the basic version of which is free. The pro version works across all devices on your local network on a single license, and also popular cloud services. Both versions are ad-free and come with built-players, can recommend.

You’re welcome!
