Music files transfer to new IPhone

After purchasing the new iPhone 14, all files and apps were downloaded and transferred from the old iPhone. Except music files, only 5 songs did transfer and I’m not able to open them. Is there a way to get the files off the old iPhone without complete reset? I also tried syncing ITunes using my MacBook Pro, and it did not work.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Hey there Johnny_Saad,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Make sure you have Sync Library enabled so you can have access to your music on the new iPhone. Use the steps to check your new iPhone settings:


1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap Music.
4. Turn on Sync Library.
5. Turn on Sync Library on your other devices.


For more information: Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices - Apple Support


If the music was downloaded from another source or synced from a computer, try connecting the computer and iPhone again to regain access to your music: Sync music between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Take care!
