music library no longer syncs

I used to be able to purchase a song from iTunes on my iPhone, and it would automatically download to my iPad as well. However, the last two songs I’ve purchased aren’t syncing correctly. It looks like I have all my settings in place but it’s still not working. I tried to reboot both devices and it still doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Apple Music Library Not Syncing to iPhone from Mac I have an extensive collection of an artist's unreleased music. I have these files saved to my Mac and a flash drive. Recently I realized multiple songs from multiple albums will not play on my iPhone. These songs do however play on my Mac and my iPad, so I don't think it is a file issue. The songs show up in these albums on my iPhone (I guess meaning the file is on the phone?), however, when tried to play and clicked on, the song will not play and skips to the next playable song in the album. What am I doing wrong? This is the first time in nearly 8 years I have had this issue!

After iOS 17 itunes won't sync all songs to iphone 13 I use my Music Library as an mp3 player - I do not subscribe to Apple Music. All my music is stored on my PC, and I sync it to my iphone 13 using itunes. After I updated my iphone to ios 17, some of the songs stopped syncing. I have 6600+ songs in the library in itunes, and even though I have sync entire library checked, it will only sync 1100 of them. It has removed all the rest from the iphone. The sync worked fine in ios 16. I've reinstalled the Music App, and tried just syncing select playlists in itunes, and it still doesn't sync all songs. All the songs are fine in itunes on the PC, but I can't get them to sync with the Music app anymore. ITunes is fully updated, as is my phone.

my apple music library is not syncing with itunes Why does my Apple Music of (iPhone and iPad) not correctly match my iTunes library. I have a lot of albums synced but not all of them. I have also tried the old “go to settings and turn on and off sync library” trick. Did not work. And apple tech support specialists have not helped. Please help me.

Go to Settings > Music > Automatic Downloads and check if it's enabled. If it is, turn it off and back on all devices. This should help with future purchases, but for past purchases download them onto the device from the iTunes Store.
