Music Playlist won't sync with iCloud Music

I recently subscribed to iCloud Music and had my MacBook and iPhone looking identical.

Noticing I had some duplicates of playlists, I deleted some of the duplicates. Now one of my playlists is on my MacBook but not on my iPhone. I tried duplicating it on the MacBook, but the duplicate doesn't sync either. I have also updated the OS on both devices.


Any ideas?

Thanks, Mike

Hello majormike72,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! We see you are missing a playlist on one device with an apple Music subscription, and we'd like to help.


You've done some great troubleshooting steps so far. And, it looks like you've gotten through most of the steps in this article:

If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library


We'd suggest following the step listed in the above article under the section titled "Turn Sync Library off, then turn it back on".

This article shows you how to do that: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music

It's a good idea to be connected to power and Wi-Fi, so iCloud doesn't get interrupted while syncing your music back to your iPhone.


Take care!
