Apple Music Failed to Fetch meaning

Dear all,


Apple Music is not working in my browser. (The error is either a region error which is bizarre as I am in the same region as my Apple store or an "Unable to fetch" error.) System -- Windows 10, browser -- Opera GX. What could be the reason?

Windows, Windows 6

Hey barberlives,


It does not. I believe I have found the issue. Even if the VPN was written as 'off', it was still on (there is a small war for the Opera VPN not to work in Russia, and, apparently, in my case Opera had the VPN on 'on' without giving me the possibility to change this option. I have solved this by explicitly modifying some commands in the browser internals for the UI to show me the button to turn the VPN off. Everything works now.


Thank you for your time.

Best,

Denis

Hi dBugZZ,


From your post, it sounds like you're having trouble playing Apple Music in a web browser. Do you have a VPN service installed on the computer? If so, does the issue persist if the VPN is disabled? If disabling the VPN resolves the issue, you may need to adjust the VPN settings to allow the Apple Music connection when connected to a browser.


Try restarting the computer if the issue persists.


Take care.
