I'm having a bit of trouble with playlists created in iTunes NOT updating/syncing on my iPhone.
Sometimes they do update, sometimes they don't. Sometimes it takes hours, or even days. And I can't seem to find any SYNC PROGRESS icons, or a way to "FORCE SYNC" - to tell iTunes "okay, now upload!" or tell my iPhone "okay, now download!"
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
On Mac, File menu -> Library -> Update iCloud Music Library.
On Mac, File menu -> Library -> Update iCloud Music Library.
Turning iCloud Music Library off and then back on again works for me, but it IS drastic -- if you have downloaded any Apple Music songs for playback when you are offline, the downloads all get deleted.
Make sure both devices are online. Make a change to a playlist. Or more drastically turn iCloud Music Library off and then back on again.

Thanks for both replies…I had to do both techniques, but it ended up working. I had tried the iTunes "update" command before. And I do think that iOS should have a similar "force sync" function. But I went ahead and toggled on/off iCloud music, and that seemed to help jog things into place.
Thank you both for responding!
You're welcome. 🙂

Force-sync iCloud Music across devices?
