HomePod OS 17.0 asking to accept terms & conditions

Similar problem for me, two Homepods tied in as a stereo pair with Apple TV. I have to accept Apple Music terms and conditions, except I don't have Music, not paying for it, so why this requirement? What I can see is Apple is offering me 6 months free trial of Music and I cannot see anywhere that I can kill that. So I am guessing that I will have to accept the 6 months and then have to remember to stop it later. But first I will try unlinking and relinking to A-TV.

Not a serious issue, getting that free for six months, but super weird. I can't understand why that stops me using the Apple TV linked pair to listen to iHart or TuneIn radio stations. The other Homepod I have in the house is working as normal, lets me listen to radio via Siri.

My Fix: my HomePods gave me this error, they were speakers for my Apple TV, the same as almost everyone getting this error, I played Apple Music in the actual Apple TV (only need to do it 1x time), from then on my HomePod would respond and play music normally.

I wish Jobs was here to fire some people.

This worked. Had to ensure this was done for each user on the Apple TV.

Note that every user with a profile on the Apple TV needs to select their profile and open the Music app in order to "accept" the T&C.

I talked to Apple Support and the problem is solved:

Go to Settings - Music - Sync Library - Turn off the Toggle - restart device - turn on the toggle again

Start up Apple TV, switch user accounts to the person that is having issues, accept Ts&Cs then try again. This worked for me.

I am facing same problem in France… I checked and launch Apple Music on each of my device but the home pod still repeat to accept the condition of Apple Music - how could I get a refund of my Apple Music subscription ? (At least until I will be able to request music to Siri on my HomePod)

It happens after changing your Apple ID password. You need to log in to all your music apps on all your device iMac, Apple TV, iPhone, etc. Log in to Apple TV and HomePod on your iPhone in the home app

I have same problem. I unpaired and repaired my two HomePods which disconnected them from Apple TV payback then I could ask Siri to play music on them. What I want is to play music without the TV and to play film sound through the TV when I’m watching. It seems HomePods can only do one or the other, independent or linked as stereo tv speaker, but not both as I could do before ????

Trust me, I was you. I was even screaming at Siri. I normally use my paired HomePod minis to play music, but also as speakers for my Apple TV. Do you do this too? If so,

I found the solution on the page. Just go into your Apple TV and play a song in Apple Music and the problem will be resolved.

if you use your speakers for a Mac or iPad whatever, log into Apple Music on those and do the same.

I had the same issue with my wife's account. I could use Siri on our HomePod Minis but she could not. I did two thing, which either worked together or one of which worked. I first unpaired and re-paired the minis, then also toggled her iCloud Home setting. Finally I rebooted the minis, although doing that on its own first had no effect.

I could use HomePod through Siri but my wife had same issue as others. We opened music on both her iPhone and iPad and played music on both. Issue not solved. Then turn both iPhone and iPad off. First turned iPad on, then tried HomePod issue resolved, then turn on iPhone. All works fine now.

I was also having this problem only with the paired HomePod minis connected to Apple TV 4K. (I have other HomePod minis that are responding fine when I ask Siri). Strangely, I could ask Siri to play one radio station through TuneIn but not another. I was trying to use the speakers alone, not with Apple TV. I just turned on Apple TV, went to the Music app, tuned into the station I’d wanted, encountered success, then turned off the Apple TV and went back to asking Siri to play the station I’d wanted on the paires HomePod minis connected to Apple TV, and voilà! It worked!

Yeah I had to unpair everything and pair it again. My original HomePods seem to like to randomly only have one working at a time even though they’re a stereo pair as well since this update.

and this issue with the terms and conditions has happened twice now, months apart.
