I can't browse Apple Music on iTunes (desktop)

My Macbook Pro runs OS10.10.5 and iTunes is 12.8.1.3 and my apple music subscription is up to date.


However, I get a blank page when I click the 'For You', 'Browse' or 'Radio' buttons from the browse tab in iTunes. I'm able to access my own Library and the iTunes store with no issue.


I followed the recommendations as written here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250159907

Rebooted in Safe Mode. Also set up a new user account. Issue persists.


No issue on my iPhone using the same account.


Please help.

Important detail: I was waiting for it to "fix itself", but nothing happened until I reset the iTunes cache, and immediately Apple Music showed up again. (iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Reset iTunes Cache). I think the combo of Apple fixing something on their end, plus resetting was what made it work again for me. (on El Capitan).

Well...


The problem with Apple Music remains, but now it's changed.


I can now browse Apple Music and the For You tab and play songs, but trying to add an album or a song to my library pops up a blank dialog box with an animated busy icon that never goes away. Then in the Activity popup, I see "Adding item to library - Canceled".


Argh.


I have a Mac Pro that just missed the cut-off date for upgrading past El Capitan. If Apple Music is going to be OS-dependent I may have to switch to Spotify or something else.

Hello, I was wondering if there are any updates to fix the issue the other apple users have reported? I have the same exact issue on my imac 27 inch, mid 2015 system. This issue came out of no where; in which I was surprised as it does get used much.


Issue: No access to itunes radio, can't browse, can't access for you, screen is blank unless you click on "store"

Had the exact same issue back in May this year on my Macbook Pro (OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6) and now has cropped up again.


I contacted Apple Support a number of times about this and always seemed to get the same response to just update to macos Mojave which I can't do due to compatibly issues with a number of applications that I use for work.


Pretty disappointed as a paying subscriber. I am already considering switching over to Spotify.
