Sync Music

I have Apple Music. Suddenly my iMac won't sync with my iPhone. Sync is selected on my phone. When I go to Preferences on the Mac, the Sync Library is checked, but grayed and I can't change it. Anybody know what this means?

Trying to sync my music from computer to iphone. Trying to sync my music from computer to iphone. Everyone says I need to turn on sync.... but "sync" is not an option on either my phone (settings>Music) or my computer (consoldated first, then went to music>preferences>genera)l but no sync button there either. Why am I not seeing sync options? I am signed in to my icloud account. I do notice on my iphone that music is not syncing to the cloud so I realize that is my problem. But why are there no sync buttons to toggle on? Using Monterey 12.6.2 TIA!

The option to SYNC LIBRARY in the Music app is not available on Mac or iPhone My Music library is not syncing (on WiFi) between my iPhone and Mac. Both devices show the same Apple ID. The option/check box to SYNC LIBRARY does not show up in my iPhone app or in Music on my Mac as shown here: (from an Apple Support thread re: Sync Library). This is what I see on my Mac: My iPhone is similar - there is no option to select SYNC LIBRARY. I am NOT subscribed to Apple Music. Is this a requirment to sync my music library? When I connect to my Mac with a Lightning Cable, then I have an option to sync but I still don't see the app menu options show above (and in the support threads on this forum) in either the Mac or iPhone. My iCloud syncs my files between devices and Photos, Mail, Messages, etc. all sync between devices (if that provides any additional info). How do I correct that??? Thanks in advance!

If you have the Apple Music subscription service then the intention is that you enable Sync Library on the device, and music you add to your Cloud Music Library becomes available on the device to stream or download. Syncing over USB is used for other content such as podcasts or audiobooks.
