Issue transferring music

[topbin]

Hey,

Does anyone else have an issue transferring some music onto their watch? I use Apple Music, I have the latest iOS and WatchOS on iPhone X and Apple Watch 5, and I had a similar issue on my Watch 3 when I had that.

Essentially it doesn't transfer all the music and leaves a constantly moving circle (rather than a slowly moving one) on 20-30% of the albums I want. It also changes which albums these are from time to time - and these aren't available on my watch when I'm out for a run (they have the cloud symbol, and I don't have the cellular version). I have lots of space left on the watch.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so any ideas on how to fix?

Following - I have the exact same problem

If I am not mistaken, Apple has reserved a set amount of storage for music, even though your watch shows you have a lot of storage available.

So what about if you start with 0 music on your watch - and you just select 1 album to transfer. Does it transfer that 1 album completely?

From your post - just can't tell if this has been happening over a period of time - or if you just tried to add all of those albums at once...

Hey G McGilli

I will give that a go. Though generally this has been happening over a period of time. I did think it could be to do with running out of space, but doing things like removing a large playlist didn't make them start syncing. Also it seems to change which albums it does it on some days, weirdly.

It seems strange they would limit space for music when I have over 16GB available space on the phone. Though I do have 710 songs so could be?

This will be the best and easiest thing to try. Let us know and hopefully, it works...
