How to fix Music syncing issues between MacBook Pro and iPhone
I’ve had apple devices for two decades now and recently my music on my 2023 MacBook Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are not fully syncing. I’ve tried manually and syncing full library. I’ve tried restarting everything. Over the air and plugged in syncing. And still only some of my music library syncs.
I’m old fashioned in that I buy CDs most of the time and then manually upload them via an external reader- which has worked great on multiple apple computers over the last 20 years - but this week it’s not. CDs I’ve previously uploaded won’t sync and some of them are not visible at all in playlists on my phone, others show as greyed out and if I click on them it says ‘not available in your region’ despite that both being false and irrelevant for manually uploaded track.

right now my level of frustration at not being able to take my music that I’ve been carrying around for decades out with me is very high. It feels like killing iTunes has lead to a worse product and more pain points to the point I am considering going back to a PC as if I’m going to have to manually do things to get a consistent user experience then why should I pay apple’s premium prices if their service has gotten so bad?!
has anyone found a way to fix this so phones and music sync the way they did last month?
