One Smart Playlist not syncing to iPhone

I have a few Smart Playlists. All of them show up except one-- of course the one I really want to listen to on my phone! It is basically a Smart Playlist that adds together two other Smart Playlists. Both of those other Smart Playlists sync to my iPhone.


I have checked the cloud status of each song in the Smart Playlist and all of them are either Matched, Purchased, Uploaded, Apple Music, or blank. One of my Smart Playlists that IS syncing has songs with a blank Cloud status, so it seems hard to imagine that is the problem.


Any ideas?


Thank you!

Greetings jessespringer,


Turning on Sync Library may help to resolve the issue with your missing playlist.


  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." Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices


Be sure to visit the link to learn how to enable Sync Library on other devices.


Should the playlist still not sync, please Contact Apple Support for more guidance.


Sincerely.
