My Apple Music Playlists are empty on my MacBook Pro. I have Sync Library on, and can see the full playlists on other devices. Can someone help?

I'm on the latest version of Sonoma and my iOS device is on the latest version of iOS. I have a playlist full of Apple Music songs that displays empty when I open it on my MacBook, but all the songs are available when I view it from my iOS device.


This has affected pretty much all of my playlists, with both music from my library and music from Apple Music. I've ensured my library is syncing and again, I can see all of my music in my playlists on my iOS device. Here's a link to one for reference: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/chriss-neil-young-favorites/pl.u-vxy6DBMtLY0gB

The same thing is happening to my music, But I already had many playlist, so I was unaware of the issue, because, there are songs on my playlists, but I was adding a song that was included on a playlist and that is when It hit me, for the most efforts to add a single or a group of songs to any given playlist was impossible from Mac, but the iPhone had all the songs including those that I intentionally duplicate, this seems like some credential error or an invalid key, logging in again seems like the logical thing to do, I about to try your solution, Ive noticed that Mac and iOS have very different ways to access some validations, not always works, across various components that depend on iCloud. Thanks for your solution, be back in a minute or so! hopefully 😅

Im about to trow away all the computers, iPhones, AppleTVs, cables, adaptors, and a buch of useless things, I bought and trow my self to the cliff, from this day forward, I let IA to rule everything, I had my chance. 🥺
