Q: I can't sync my phone with the music on my computer without deleting all of my music?

I just got a new mac and I plugged my phone in to sync my music but not all of my songs went onto my mac. I just got new music on my mac and I want to put it on my phone but it won't let me without clearing the library in my phone to replace it with the one on my mac, which is missing most of the songs from my phone because they won't sync.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 8.4

You need to copy your iTunes library from the computer you were using previously to your new computer:

If you do not have access to the old iTunes Library, then read this User Tip by fellow Support Community member turingtest2 for info on how to get your music into you library:
