Apple Music stops after playing 2 songs from my library Any ideas why Apple Music - on a MacBook Pro M1 running macOS Monterey 12.4 consistently stops after playing 2 tracks from my library? Ie not streaming but playing songs I have saved on my laptop in Apple Music? After 2 tracks, the music stops playing, the name of the first track still appears at the top as if it is still playing and I need to click the skip track button to restart the music - after doing this there are no further issues and tracks play continuously. The problem occurs again after I restart Apple Music, start playing a different playlist etc

Tesla Apple Music integration In the last Tesla software update, Apple Music integration has been added. However explicit content cannot be played although I have it allowed on every device of mine and even on Apple Music website. Anyone has any idea how to toggle explicit content filtering off?

Apple TV 4K (2022) won't play (can't find?) any of the music I "burned" from old CDs or bought on iTunes I just connected a new Apple TV 4K device (2022) to my LG TV and LG soundbar. When I go to the Music app, most of my own music (3,133 songs) is missing. There are only a couple of albums and a few other "loose" songs. What happened to my music? I can still see everything on my Mac, IPhone and iPad. When I look at the Account Settings in Music on my Mac, I don't see anything about an Apple TV. Under Manage Devices, I see my iPad Pro and iPhone listed, but it says these devices are associated for playing previously purchased music. As a side note, it says both of these devices aren't able to be associated with a different Apple ID. I doubt that's the problem I have with the Apple TV, but I wonder if that's going to cause a problem in a few more days. Thanks.

Greetings, lukeyb123.

I see that you're unable to access Apple Music using the Music application on your Mac, and I'm glad to help with this.

Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music -- With the Music application open, select Music > Preferences, and make sure that Sync Library is turned on.

Take care.

I've tried this and it does not load my account therefore none of my music syncs. and I cant even use it even though I am subscribed to Apple Music.
