Apple Music not working properly on my iPad 6th generation

Apple is aware and working on a fix for the Music player. Per an earlier post on this thread.

I am having the same issues with my iPad (6th generation) on iOS 17.0.3. I have tried a forced restart, without any change and also did a full reset and restore from iCloud back up. I also turned off the beta software to see if that would help. Will sometimes play a song or two and then stop for the rest of the day. I stream via wifi to a bluetooth speaker at my desk and have used the same set up for years. I am hoping a future update will fix this.

Thank you all for posting your experiences. My ipad 6th gen (Wi-Fi) has been acting up in a similar way. I have not been able to resolve the issue yet. On the contrary, the issue seems to have evolved from freezing during or after a song to not being able to connect at all to Apple Music. At the moment I am stuck with zero Apple Music functionality. Other apps all work fine. How much memory do you have on your iPads? Mine is a basic 32G with just under 10G of free ram (which seems to be a necessity now in order to install OS updates. I keep my iPad on the latest version). Will post back if I see any change or find a fix…

I spent 4 hrs with Apple support. Full reinstall and still not working. My problem was escalated. The technician could not resolve the problem. He got me to screen shot a video of the non responsive music app. He then forwarded this up to a higher level. He call back today. Apple don't know what the problem is and don't know when the issue will be resolved 😡

I have given up on my 6th Gen iPad playing music. I can get it back to life after opening and quitting the music app several times in a row. But each time I play a song it will stop somewhere half way or at the end of the song and it’s back to square one. It seems the music app is beyond the iPads ability. Obsolescence.

iPad 7th gen here. Did a full restore, deleted the music app and re-installed, removed all music downloads, updated to 17.1.2 and did a force restart- no luck with any of this. Wild how it was working fine just last week for me. Crossing my fingers for 17.2

For me is the same. ipad 6. 32 Gigs of memory with little space left. about 3 gb. Symptoms are the same. Music stops after a few songs. 17.1.2 made things worse. Apple Music doesn’t load any music.. And Classic is working.

It will freeze if there is bad Wi-Fi

Wait for iOS 17.2.

Thanking you for helping fix my music apple play program. 17.2 did it.

Forced restart is not helping for me. I have to keep closing and reopening the app - very annoying since I like to stream music all day for my animals! If this doesn't get fixed I'm going to cancel my subscription.

Still having the same problem as well. Seemed to work for a while then back to freezing up. I can play live radio streams and my music stored on the pad but apple radio and playlists consistently stop after a couple songs. Wondering if this is a hardware issue? Been using it a like 8 hours a day.

I use software on my work computer that is very sensitive to connection issues and have not had any issues lately. I tried connecting to my phone as a hotspot and it did the same thing. Going to try connecting the hotspot on bluetooth tomorrow.

I don't have a suggestion. I came looking for one. I was responding to Lawrence Finch posting the following rude response to someone else.

'This is a user-to-user forum. No one here cares if you cancel your subscription.'

Hello~ I don’t see that you asked a question. This is a technical forum and do you have a solution for the Author? If you have a question start your own thread. The user that Lawrence Finch was responding to was making a threat to cancel a subscription …not technical and actually rude in the fact they didn’t start their own thread as well. Coming here to critique a senior member who volunteers hours of their time each day for years is bad form and considered rude.
