Q: iTunes won't sync my new songs to my iPhone 6 (iOS 10)

So I've already inquired about this on r/AppleHelp and one very nice person gave me some pointers. Unfortunately, no luck as of yet. Here's the gist of that conversation: https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/52wi69/iphone_6_ios_10_will_not_sync _with_itunes_backing/

 

And here is my problem:

 

Last night I downloaded some MP3s from Amazon. I opened them in iTunes, as I often do, and they would not sync to my iPhone. Specifically, Step 2 of the sync, "Backing up," took forever. I tried letting it finish and skipping it all together. Neither worked. So I forced it to skip the back up. No luck. Then I removed all my old back ups from my frive when it said it didn't have room to create a new one. No luck. Then I rebooted my iPhone. Then the back up went at normal speed.

 

But then! It would skip over "Determining Tracks to Sync" in record time. It could not have taken more than half a second before it determined I had no new tracks, which is untrue.

 

I've had this problem before (pre-iOS 10) and through persistence I got it to work. But not this time. What can I try that has not been suggested on Reddit thus far? Has anyone else had this problem?
