1. Turn on your Mac or PC and connect it to the Internet.
2. Open the Music app or iTunes for Windows.
3. Keep the Music app or iTunes for Windows open so your library can finish uploading.

If you see an ineligible icon next to a song, delete the song, then add it back to your library. If you still see an ineligible icon next to a song, then that song can’t be uploaded.

If a song is missing

Make sure that all of your devices have Sync Library turned on, and signed in with the same Apple ID.
