Turn on iCloud Music Library on iOS Devices
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap Music in the apps list.
- Tap the iCloud Music Library toggle to enable it.
Playlists, smart playlists and music that you ripped from your CDs will all show up in the Music app. You'll still be able to buy music from the iTunes Store, and iTunes gift cards will continue to work as they do today. The bottom line for MacOS users is that if you don't upgrade to Catalina, nothing will change.
This is likely because iTunes is automatically syncing your music. Go to the Summary tab and check "Sync only Checked Songs and Videos." Then go to the Music tab and select "Sync Music" and "Entire Music Library". Also, on the iPhone, to delete a song, go to your Songs list and swipe left or right on a song's title.
The fix: To manually manage music, click the Summary tab, scroll to close to the bottom, and in the Options area, there will be an option to Manually manage music and videos. Select this option, and you should be able to delete songs and such from the "On this iPhone" tab.
Open your Settings, then go to Music, then make sure Show Apple Music is turned on. If it is, toggle it off then on again. If this doesn't work, then: Reset your device by holding down the power button and home button until you see the Apple logo, then wait for your device to restart.
