## Key points

- Use the same Apple Account on every device.
- Enable Sync Library in Music settings.
- First syncs can take a few minutes.

## Summary

Apple Music can sync a library across Apple and non-Apple devices, but songs may be missing if Sync Library is disabled or the devices use different Apple Accounts. Enabling the setting lets subscribers access the same music library without managing it separately on each device.

Check that each device is signed in to the same account, then enable Sync Library in the Music settings on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows; it is on by default on Android. The first sync may take a few minutes, particularly for a large library, and mobile devices should be on Wi-Fi and not in Low Power Mode. If syncing still fails, users can toggle the setting off and on or sign out and back in; people without an Apple Music subscription must transfer an offline library manually.
