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.

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.
