sync max os music library with new iphone 16 pro

After recent purchase of iPhone 16, my music library did not load all of my playlists. I attempted to sync with Mac but receive message that a Mac OS needed upgrade to sync with new iPhone . My Mac can not upgrade to newer OS. Is it possible to sync music library of iPad to iPhone? They have same iOS version

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

I figured it out after looking at some other posts.


  1. Go to iPhone settings > apps > Music
  2. Toggle off Sync Library
  3. Use usb > usb c cable to plug iPhone 16 into Mac
  4. Open Finder window on Mac and select iphone
  5. When sync app opens select music tab
  6. Select every artist that you would like to appear in iPhone playlist (majority if not all)
  7. Click on Sync or Apply
  8. Wait for sync to complete ( not a long time)
  9. Go back to iPhone Music settings and toggle on Sync Library
