Music not available in my country?

I have Apple Music and I’ve downloaded some International songs (K-Pop) and they played up until today. They’re now saying it’s “not available in my region” Also when I go to select a song it says “not playing” on the bottom of the screen. How can i fix this?

Hello Froggy_,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you've downloaded some international songs which played before but now you're receiving a message saying they aren't available in your region. We're happy to help!


"If a song isn't available in Apple Music


Some songs or albums might be grayed out because they're not currently available in Apple Music. Here are some reasons why:


  • Artists and content providers might release some songs from an album in advance, but not all of them. If you add the entire album to your library, the songs will become available as they're released.
  • Artists and content providers might change or remove music from the Apple Music catalog. Search Apple Music to see if that song is available under a different name or file. If it is, add the song to your library so it's no longer grayed out.
  • 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 an explicit song is grayed out, you might have restrictions turned on for your device. You can use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or Screen Time on your Mac to turn off restrictions. You can also add the clean version from Apple Music to your library."
