Have have 215 albums on my iMac (OS High Sierra 10.13.4), but only the music that I purchased through Apple Music Store shows up on my iPad mini and iPhone 7 Plus. How can I sync to my hand-held devices?
iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
On your Mac or PC
- Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences.
Windows: From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Edit > Preferences.- On the General tab, select iCloud Music Library to turn it on.
- Click OK.
If you don't see your content on all of your devices
On the computer that contains your original music library, make sure that you're signed in to iTunes with the Apple ID that you use with Apple Music and have iCloud Music Library turned on. Then, from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen or the top of the iTunes window, choose File > Library > Update iCloud Music Library.
Make sure that that you have the latest version of iOS, macOS, and iTunes on your devices in order to sign in with the Apple ID that you use with Apple Music.

Hi Joseph,
Thank you very much! I didn't know that I had to subscribe to Apple Music to be able to see on my other devices all the music that I installed on my iMac from CDs and not from the Apple Music Store. Now my frustration is over. Again, thank you!

This does does work for me an I’m subscribed to Apple Music. I have iPad Pro and iPhone X all with up to date software. This is so frustrating. 😠 I can’t tell you how many forum posts and other forums I’ve read and many people are having this problem. Seems like every upgrade on iTunes makes it less and less valuable for music storage.
