Losing Apple Music data when changing country’s I have moved to a new country. But I’ve been told that when I change the region in my Apple ID, I lose all my Apple Music library data and playlists. Why? I want to keep my playlists and songs from the last 7 years I built up. Is there a way to not lose all this data?

Apple Music Subscription when switching Apple ID Regions I have recently moved to Canada from the U.S. and have my itunes store and apple ID set to the US. Will I lose all of the music downloaded to my phone, as part of my apple music subscription, if I cancel my subscription in order to change my region? Is there anyway to change your region without cancelling the apple music subscription?

song is not currently available in your country or region iphone 16 This is one of the reasons that I have never subscribed to apple music. Every time I get a new phone, songs get "grayed out" and I can not access them. This has happened since 2008 or 09. So frustrating. Even when I have apple itune receipts for the songs! Anyway, the new message is "song is not currently available in your country or region." My country listed in my phone is United States, so not sure why, again, Apple is taking away music that I have purchased. I have the music on 2 macs and my old iphone. Argh!! Any ideas for a fix?

If you change your Apple ID region, your Apple Music library should not be lost. However, you may encounter some issues accessing your music depending on the specific changes you make to your Apple ID region.

When you change your Apple ID region, you may need to update your payment information to match the new region. If your payment method is not valid in the new region, you may not be able to access Apple Music or purchase new songs.
