Music continually quits unexpectedly in Big Sur. My library is fairly large, 22,595 items.
never had this problem before Big Sur. Twice I had to re-boot to get Music to open after quitting.
any ideas?
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
New mess. Trying to sync Music with my iPhone = a perpetual case of "loading..." after clicking on my iPhone in the Music app. iOS 14.0.1
Apple says "it is an Amazon problem" guess what Amazon says........
The app crashes os 11.0.1 - not just you...life is good. Blessings, Bob
I have done now, thanks for the suggestion
I Think The problem is Music not Big Sur. Music was terrific with the last Catalina upgrade also.
How can it be an Amazon problem? Music is an Apple product, I have iTunes purchases and CDs I loaded. There’s no Amazon anywhere in the mix...
I have noticed that if another app plays a sound or tries to do audio output, music will also quit. Maybe some issues around device ownership and multiple processes running...
As a software engineer, the fact that others aren't having an issue, doesn't mean a lot. There is a huge number of use-cases possible, and it may just be that I'm one of the ones that wasn't tested. The universe of possibilities is quite large.
The problem did not exist prior to Big Sur. My hardware has not changed since the software upgrade. When the only thing that changed is the OS, then the OS becomes suspect.
because of thesis of my music library and my photo library, I have these on external drives, connected via a certified thunderbolt 3 cable.
I'll try the safe mode boot, in case this does something. I'll also use the disk utility to check my external drives....
I would be surprised if the headphone port were not working under Safe Mode.
If you unplug the external amplifier from the headphone port, so you are using the internal iMac speakers, do they work?
If you plug earphones into that port, do they work?
I take it that the external amplifier, attached to the headphone port, usually worked when not in Safe Mode?
Now. The principle issue I thought we were trying to address, in this Discussion, was the Unexpected Termination of the Music App, within Big Sur.
Does this issue persist under Safe Mode?
(The headphone jack issue appears to be an additional problem that may not even be related. However, if there are drivers missing, for some reason, that could be related to both. Possibly. However, having such drivers go missing in Safe Mode is troubling.)
Music quits constantly Big Sur
