Hi wvbinhsv,

Thank you for explaining further. Have you tried restarting and checking again? If not, here's how Restart your iPhone.

If a restart doesn't help, is your iPhone updated? The most recent version iOS 15.1. It's a good idea to back up your iPhone before updating.

Here’s How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

The music files appear on my phone. I can play individual files. My problem is that I can not make playlists the usual way. The

”new playlist or new playlist by selection are greyed out, non operable.

Still no help. When I connect my iphone13 to my windows 10, I can view the contents. The music library shows the songs in alphabetical order but when I try to sort by column headings, nothing happens. I can select a contiguous set of songs but when I go to the file menu, the playlist items are grayed out, as are all of the items.

I have updated all software on both my phone and my windows 10. I restarted my phone.

Has anyone else had a similar problem.

I have been using iTunes for years, and only had this problem when I got a new phone and transferred the contents from my old phone. My music library has about 80 Gigs of classical music.
