Syncing my iPhone 16 pro with the iTunes music on my PC
iTunes on my PC doesn't recognize my new iPhone 16 Pro. All of my music is backed up on my PC. How can I transfer my music from the PC to my iPhone?
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
If you have installed any of Apple Music, Apple Devices, or Apple TV then iTunes is hobbled such that it only manages audiobooks and podcasts, with all device management features being hidden.
If you haven't installed those apps, or have since removed them, and iTunes still won't show your device try iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows - Apple Community.
