I bought a new XS Max and tried to sync my songs from iTunes but it says it cannot connect to this iPhone because I have no permission. I don't recall doing anything absurd, why would this message come up please?
Thank you for the advice, I will give it a try at home tonight. I do have two general questions about this: first, i did not know that in order to sync between Apple devices, iCloud must be turned on? second, I could not find Account from the itunes setting on my phone.
Firstly, syncing anything from any Mac device to any other Mac device, is always via iCloud. And you have to be signed in to iCloud on each device and for each "thing" you want synced.

As regards your iPhone: Go into Settings - at the very top is Your Name, under which, in small letters, is Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App... Tap on that.
This will take you to -
Your Name
Name, Phone Numbers, Email
Password & Security
Payment & Shipping
iCloud
iTunes & App Store
Share My Location
Set Up Family Sharing
Tap on iTunes & App Store
Hope that helps.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the advice above.
I just did what you said and found no fewer than 9 devices still linked to iTunes despite the fact that 4 of them had previously been wiped and signed out of iCloud, iTunes etc before I passed them on to deserving friends & others.
So I removed them.
Great tip. Many thanks.
Ian
