Purchased music won’t load on Apple TV

A few days updating to tvOS 15, I noticed that albums I’d purchased on iTunes in recent days weren’t showing up in Music on my AppleTV. I ended up resetting my Apple TV and since then none of my music is showing up the Music app and when I go to my Library in the app, it says “Loading Library” but nothing happens and is eventually replaced by an “Add Music to Your Library” screen. All my Movies and TV Show purchases are fully synching and available, but none of my music library.

Two Things:

I. Viewing These:

Go Here: See your Purchase History for the App Store, iTunes Store and More - Apple Support


II. Locating These:

  • Hidden Apps:

Perhaps these are hidden purchases? To see if that is the case, unwise them. Go here: Hide Purchases from the App Store - Apple Support


  • Removed from App Store:

Note that sometimes items are removed from the App Store, and they never become accessible again. This all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Developer.


  • New iCloud Session:

Try logging out of iCloud, and then logging back in. Perhaps it all needs to resync.

Thank you for the update.


Contact Apple Support:

You should contact Apple Support, as there may be a glitch in the user database.

Apple Contact Info:

Why the Wait:

Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)

Definitely not hidden or removed — I have hundreds of albums and nothing’s showing up on my Apple TV, despite being able to see it all on my iPad and MacBook Air.
