Music Transfer to new iPhone

Numerous music selections from my old iPhone did not transfer to my new iPhone 13. They are listed in songs, but not downloaded!

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Howdy UMBB2018,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities, and congratulations on the new iPhone!


Are you referring to music that was added to your library with Apple Music not being downloaded? If so, check out the information below for assistance with downloading the songs. You can also locate additional information here: Add music to iPhone and listen offline - Apple Support


Download music from Apple Music to your iPhone

Download a song, album, or playlist: Touch and hold music you’ve added to your library, then tap Download.


After you’ve added a playlist or album, you can also tap the Download button at the top of the screen.


Note: You must turn on Sync Library to download music from Apple Music to your library (go to Settings  > Music, then turn on Sync Library).


Always download music: Go to Settings > Music, then turn on Automatic Downloads.


Songs you add are automatically downloaded to iPhone.

See download progress: On the Library screen, tap Downloaded Music, then tap Downloading.

Note: If the music you’re downloading is available in Dolby Atmos, the Dolby button  appears next to the item, and you can download it either in Dolby Atmos or in stereo. To download music in Dolby Atmos when available, go to Settings  > Music, then turn on Download in Dolby Atmos. See Listen to Dolby Atmos music on iPhone.


If you're referring to purchased music from the iTunes Store, you'll want to review this resource instead: Redownload music - Apple Support


Lastly, if you're referring to songs being grayed out in the Music app then you may need to check that Sync Library is enabled across your devices and iTunes. Check out the following resource for additional steps to clear this up: If your songs are grayed out - Apple Support


We hope that's able to help. If not, provide more details for us to understand what you're experiencing. Be sure not to include any personal information or device serial numbers as Apple Support Communities is public.


Cheers!
