Request Timed Out Apple Music

Honestly I believe Apple Music is the superior music service, but I am about a week away from switching to Spotify. This is the most frustrating issue I’ve ever faced. Me and my wife both are having it, we basically can’t play music outside of WiFi. Get it together Apple!

95% of my music on cellular says this. Cant even listen to music anymore its pathetic

Yes!! This is so annoying! I've had this problem since the update as well and I have an Iphone 10 X. It has to be a software issue. About 80-90% of new music doesn't play just says "request timed out". I tried downloading the song and it downloads but continues to give me the same error.

Disable lossless/Atmos and switch to high-efficiency.

I meant high-quality, sorry. After doing so, restart your device.

I am having the same issue, as is my spouse. Its beyond frustrating at this point.

I recently had to switch phones and locked my apple id out. Had to deal with the beyond ridiculous recovery process. And now I cant use apple music properly, icloud wont back up either. My id is the main one on my family sharing, I removed my old phone and its still not working. I have done all the suggested fixes and nothing has worked.

I’m so glad I found this board. I called Apple Music with this exact issue a few days ago and they kept telling me I was just in a bad cellular signal area and that I should download all the songs I want to listen to while on Wi-Fi. I told the apple rep that defeats the entire purpose of streaming new music.

If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I am moving to Spotify.

Physical SIM. At&T 5G (which has sucked btw. No difference at all in speed)

Also, I spoke too soon. After turning Dolby Atmos to "OFF" , turning Lossless Audio to "OFF", and setting Cellular Streaming to "High Efficiency" - more songs play, but i still get the occasional "request timed out" hiccup. It will skip the song and if i force it to back and try it again, it will play after 2-3 times. Annoying.

I’ve had the same issue for the last couple of weeks. I’ve done everything that’s suggested and nothing works. I’ve even talked to Apple support and they couldn’t do anything either. And to be honest, they don’t seem concerned about finding a solution.

sorry, i forgot to follow up.

iphone 13 Pro Max

15.0.2

At&T 5G Unlimited

I had the same problems when i first got my iphone 13 Pro with iOS 15. request timed out. i tried everything that was mentioned in this thread and other forums. i toggled everything. i did a factory reset. i lowered all the audio settings and disabled Dolby and Lossless. i even cancelled my Apple Music account and then re-subscribed after it expired. while some of those solutions may have helped, nothing ever truly solved it 100%.

And then, a few weeks ago. it just… started working. i thought i’d tempt fate - i maxed out all my audio quality settings. Dolby back on. Lossless back on. A song *might* take a couple of seconds sometimes, but i haven’t gotten another “request timed out” error again.

i wish i could be of more help, but i hope everyone experiences the same thing as i did and it just starts to work again.

I am still experiencing this issue it’s been super frustrating. It will work for a short time then say request timed out and ssl server can’t be reached.

Yeah i updated my phone to use 1 app. Now my apple music pretty much doesn’t work. Its pathetic that apple still has issues like this. Im about to just switch to sporify

I guess Apple hasn’t found a resolution? I have been having this same problem since updating to iOS 15 as well. Be nice if a rep would reach out!

I’m having the same issue and I just switched over from spotify… Will be switching back if this isn’t fixed soon.
