Hi Dan, Sorry, very hard to say, it works for me although I don't ever do it any more because if you have am Apple Music subscription you can't sync manually, you would have to turn off Apple Music.

I have followed your instructions several times and all I can get it to do is synch from the phone to my laptop. You indicated that there should be a checkbox for synching music to the iphone. this checkbox never shows up on the screen for me. I have even had my sighted wife watch the process and she says it doesn't show up. Any other ideas? Thanks.
