I also set up a playlist on my iTunes on Mac but the playlist will not be synced to my iPhone. Does any know how to resolve this Apple Music Not Syncing issue?"

If you experience this similar issue, here is how you can fix it.

Step 2. Go to Settings > Music on your device. Turn off iCloud Music Library. Close Settings and reopen to confirm the changed settings saved. (If not, power down the iPhone then repeat the steps mentioned above, the setting should be saved after that.)

Step 3. Connect iPhone/iPad to laptop and launch iTunes.
