itunes will not sync with my iphone

I recently gave my aunt my iphone 16 pro max and purchased an almost brand new iphone 13 mini. I cannot for the life of me sync my music to my phone now. I see it on my computer, see it in itunes, but no luck when i plug in the phone. I have authorized, deauthorized. I have tried everything. Any suggestions?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 26

  1. Connect your device to your computer.
  2. Go to the iTunes app  on your PC.
  3. Click the Device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
  4. Select a type of content you want to sync (for example, Music or TV Shows) in the sidebar.



Using the numbers above what step are you not able to complete? In particular are you able to select the device as highlighted with the blue arrow in step 4, so that you can then select a content type for syncing in step 5?
