I was added to my son's Apple Music account. For a month things went well. Now, after migrating to a new Mac, I get the message:

"The song "XXXXX" cannot be played because you are not signed in to Apple Music.

You must sign in to Apple Music in order to play Apple Music songs."

OK, how/where do I go to sign in?

No, it's not in "Accounts/View My Account/Apple ID Account".

Yes, "iTunes/Preferences/General" has the iCloud box checked.

Thank you.

That first sentence sounds like you’re using Family Sharing to access Apple Music. Are you doing that correctly?

That second sentence doesn’t make clear whether you’re signed in to iTunes using your Apple ID. You should be able to do Accounts > View My Account

Correct on Family Sharing

And, to "View my account", I MUST sign in. Every time.

Oddly, if I delete the songs and re-download, they play. Until I restart the iTunes.app.
