Hello johnnyfromalabaster,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you’re seeing an exclamation mark next to the songs that you have synced. We are happy to help.


Let’s try the steps here: If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library - Apple Support


"An exclamation point

The song can't be played or synced across your devices until the original file is located.

  1. Click the exclamation point Invalid location icon next to the song.
  2. A message will appear and ask if you'd like to locate the song. Click Locate.
  3. If the song is located, you'll be asked to use the location to find other missing songs in your library. If you see this message, click Find Files."


These steps may help. Please let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
