iPhone 14 Pro Max
iOS: 17.2
Mac OS Sonoma 14.2
I have recently updated my iOS and Mac OS. However, when I connect my iPhone using a cord (since I also wish to charge it) and sync my songs on Apple Music, it gets stuck at Step 3 (Preparing to sync).
Could anyone help me get this sync going again?

iPhone 14 Pro Max
iPhone 13mini (17.3) syncing via Finder (macOS 14.3). iPhone sync issue continues with update (1/23/24). Using Activity Monitor to Force Quit mDNSCrashReportTool remains only way getting sync to proceed beyond Step 2.
I have been updating some photos in Photos (as a sync test to MyPhotos on my iPhone) & those changed photos are syncing. So, Force Quit of mDNSCrashReportTool using Activity Monitor, seemingly is allowing sync to proceed & not simply quitting the Finder's Sync process. But, I have had to complete this "work around" each time I initiate a Finder Sync.
I've again reported to Apple's Feedback Page for macOS.
Also, I have not experienced this same Sync issue with iPadOS (both previous & now, 17.3).
This worked! Thanks so much!
After the time I've spent trying to solve this issue thinking it was my equipment, I'm almost angry that this worked.
Thank you for the help!
Apple, fix your $H!T!
iOS 17.3 is supposed to release next week (maybe Monday). Hopefully this is addressed in that update…
Does anyone know when this problem started? I’m on the iPhone with a Mac, current version (2024-01-23). Was it good on IOS 17.1?
Thank You!
it is obviously a man-made bug, because they want you subscribe to Apple Music instead of using your own song files.
it could be started at any time, because Apple engineers it. once I pointed it out, the function resumes.
It isn't.
PREACH. FYI Quitting the MDCrashReportTool process worked for me for the past month. After the update it no longer works. Beyond frustrating.
Hey Guys why should we even be here discussing this?? Shouldn't this Apple product "just work"?? With hundreds of complains why isn't Apple doing something about it? The Product Manager please take note - you need to prove your competence with your job. I am tired of having to manage my iPhone over these things repeatedly and continuously.
Still giving you the save, DPX, for sharing so promptly!
