Apple - What makes autofill not appear as a sync option in iTunes 11?

I figured it out with some help from Jesse at the Ottawa Apple Store:

If your iPhone has iTunes Match turned on, you’re not able to manually manage your music. In order to set how much space you want to use on your device for music, you’ve got to first turn iTunes Match off, set your space requirements in the Autofill section, and then turn iTunes Match back on.

Good times…


  • Select your device.
  • Click the Summary tab.
  • Under the Options section, make sure that "Manually manage music and videos" is checked:

  • If the Sidebar is hidden, select the On This iPad (or iPhone) tab and select Music:

  • The Autofill functionality should now appear:
