Option to 'Select All' when choosing items to synch between iphone and Mac itunes? Example - Artists

Syncing iPhone 13, iOS 17.7.2 with older MacMini, MacOS 12.7.6 in a Finder window. Somehow I managed to deselect all the Artists in my Library - I have 1,790 artists. Is there anyway to Select All when I’m in the Synch window?

Having to individually select 1790 check box is tedious and NOT very user friendly.

How do I sync only certain albums from Music on my Mac to my iPhone in Big Sur? Been using iTunes since version 1. So long history of music and Mac use. Have thousands of CDs imported. I only want to sync certain albums, from certain artists. In the new Finder window when I go to the Albums tab, it only shows the album name. This is extremely difficult because there are similar album names like “Greatest Hits”. There are probably 30 or more of them and many variations. Also, I do not have album names memorized as to what artist they belong to. How do I know what artist belongs to which album in this stupid view?? I need to have the Artist name and the Album name displayed simultaneously like it was in the old iTunes. That actually was intuitive. Has anyone got a fix for this obvoius BUG??

iTunes Windows - How to remove music list on device? Having trouble clearing the 'Music' list in iTunes > Devices > My iPhone > Music, which is supposed to show music on the device. This list remains, even after I have deleted all music from the iPhone. And whilst it remains in this list I can no longer add the song/album back onto the device (I delete from Settings > Apps > Music > Downloaded music > Edit > All Songs). Is there a way to clear this list in iTunes? I managed to do it previously. Can't seem to get it to clear now though :-/ I usually just drag/drop albums to the iPhone (under Devices in iTunes) then delete albums from the iPhone when I want to change up the music on there.

iPhone to iMac Sync Removing & Re-Downloading My Music I have an older iPhone 8 running iOS 16.1.2 and a newer iMac running Ventura, 13.1. Everytime I sync my iPhone, it appears to remove and then re-copy the selected playlists I have chosen from my iTunes music library. This takes considerable time & seems repetitive. On top of this - the iPhone sync Finder window dialogue doesn't seem to notice specific iPhoto folders to sync - rather only offering the option of syncing "All Photos." I feel these may be related to my syncing problems and can't find any solutions on-line. Looking for any suggestions.
