Syncing iPhone to PC iTunes Itunes for Windows no longer displays the device button / icon, which is necessary to sync. Using the apple device app only syncs purchased music, which is about half my music library. Ideas, anyone?

MacBook Pro - Apple Music - iPhone stuck in 'Sync' even though it is neither connected to the Mac nor using the cloud. MacBook Pro 2023 16-inch, M2 etc. Ventura 13.4 iPhone 14 Pro iOS 16.5.1 Hi all, This happens ALL. THE. TIME. Why? What can I do about it? p.s. Apple Tech Sup't, please don't run me through the usual "restart everything, reinstall everything, etc." line. I used to be in SQA at Apple and I know what I'm doing. This is a bug and you guys need to provide a solid workaround while you're fixing it. I have tried everything you are about to tell me to try, so please think it through first. Why is my iPhone showing up as 'Syncing'? IT IS NOT CONNECTED. IT CANNOT BE EJECTED FROM APPLE MUSIC. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL POSSIBLE NETWORK ISSUES HAVE BEEN RULED OUT. PLEASE GIVE AN ANSWER THAT WORKS, AND THAT YOU KNOW WORKS BECAUSE YOU YOURSELF HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN THIS ISSUE DEMONSTRATED AND SEEN THE FIX YOU PROPOSE WORK IN A REAL-WORLD ENVIRONMENT. Thanks, Andrew

Check that in Finder, with device selected that Manually manage music, music, tv shows is selected. And in the Music app itself I usually find that if I click elsewhere in the Sidebar then back to the device in works.
