Apple allows its users to sync their downloaded music on all devices with the same Apple ID but the Mac syncing issue is quite prevalent these days. The sync feature saves the users from the efforts of having to download or add to their library the same songs and albums over and over again. However, sometimes the users are unable to sync their library or playlists on Mac. This issue means that the users are unable to access their downloaded and saved songs on their Mac devices.
Mac is a range, or family, as Apple prefers to call it, of personal computers. They are designed, manufactured, and sold exclusively by Apple. The Mac syncing issues do not occur often but when they do, they can be exhausting. If you too are experiencing it and have waited long enough for it to recover on its own but are now done with it, try our simple tricks that are known to resolve issues like these. Our workarounds are tried by our team members and then put forward for you to try.
Learn how to fix the Mac syncing issue on your own
1) Update your Mac- whenever you experience the Mac syncing issue, your first instinct should be to check your Mac’s macOS version. If you are using an outdated or old version, you should update your Mac immediately to the latest one. Updating alone can fix most of your issues relating to particular app features.
2) Check your Apple Music or iTunes subscription- if the Mac syncing issue persists you should check your app subscription’s validity. Sometimes using a failed or expired subscription can cause issues like these as well.
3) Sign in to all accounts- if the second step fails, sign in to all the devices you can with the same Apple ID. Unless you sign in to all devices using the same Apple ID, you will most likely continue facing this issue.
4) Enable Sync Library- Please make sure that your account’s sync library is turned on for all the devices. Turning the sync library on for a single or few devices will not help. Users need to ensure all the devices they’re using had their sync library on.
5) Check internet connection- One of the silliest mistakes we make is forgetting to check the internet connection. Ensure that all the devices are connected to the internet.
If none of the above-mentioned steps work, you should visit Apple’s System Status page and check if your region or country is experiencing service interruptions or server problems. If yes, you have no other choice than to wait. You can read another article from us on syncing-related problems such as Onedrive not syncing on Windows 11.
