I've got all the content settings for both my children and myself set to 'clean', however when I listed to the Apple Music playlists like 'today's hits' it still plays all the songs with explicit lyrics! What is going wrong and how can it be fixed?
iMac 27″, macOS 11.7
Hey Em_Be,
We'd be happy to help! Sounds like you're having issues restricting explicit songs from playing on your Mac. We'd recommend working through the following steps which are best equipped to assist with this matter:
Restrict access to music-related content
1. On your Mac, do one of the following:
• If you’re using Family Sharing and are the family organizer: Log in as the administrator, then make sure you’re signed in with your Apple ID.
• If you aren’t using Family Sharing: Log in to the child’s Mac user account.
2. Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Screen Timein the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
3. If you’re using Family Sharing, click the pop-up menu on the right, then choose a child.
4. Turn on Screen Time.
5. Click Content & Privacy, then turn on the option if it’s not on already.
6. To manage content restrictions, click Content Restrictions, then do any of the following:
• Prevent users from creating an Apple Music profile: Below Music & TV, turn off the Allow Music Profiles option.
To learn more about Apple Music profiles and how they work, see Create an Apple Music profile.
• Prevent access to shared media libraries: Below Music & TV, turn off the Allow Music & TV Shared Libraries option.
To learn more about shared media libraries and how they work, see Share songs from a shared media library.
