Apple Music not allowing me to play songs that are available to play


Keeps saying they’re not allowed in the region but have been listening to them for the longest that they’ve been available.

Hello remymaniac,


After reviewing your post, it seems like you received a message saying some songs are not allowed in the region.

Do all songs receive this message?

Are these in your Library too or only in a Playlist?

Have you changed countries or region?


  • "The song might not be available in your country or region and will appear in gray text when you search for it in Apple Music."


If your songs are grayed out


Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a nice day.

Hey remymaniac,


Thanks for the update. Since the song is gray in the Library and Playlist, try deleting a song out of the Library and try to add it to the Library again.

If you create a new playlist and add songs to it, are those grayed out?


"If you’re still missing a song that you added from the Apple Music catalog, then the song might have been removed from Apple Music or is available under a different file name. Try searching Apple Music for the song, then add it to your library."


If songs are missing from your music library after you turn on Sync Library


  1. "Or on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, press and hold the item that you want to delete. 
  2. Tap or click Remove.

  3. From the menu that appears, choose Remove or Remove Download. Or choose "Delete from Library" to remove the item from all devices that you use with Apple Music."


Delete music, movies, and TV shows from your device


Cheers.
