    Hello iTsering,

     

    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to sync music to the iPhone from the Mac. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

     

    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

     

    If you can't manually add or remove content from your device

    Check to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is turned on:

    1. Connect your device to your computer.
    2. Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
    3. Locate and click on your device.
      Icon of iOS device in iTunes
    4. Click the Summary tab.
    5. Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos."Checkbox in iTunes
    6. Click Apply. 

     

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day

    Thanks mario49 appreciate your help. I managed to sync my music from Mac to iPhone finally after many tries.

    I'm pretty sure I was doing something wrong. I plugged in the cable opened iTunes, hit the my iPhone device

    and clicked on music and pressed sync..Voila it worked... I was doing this all along but never worked.

    Anyways... I'll keep your post in mind if I do encounter this issue again.
