Apple Music Stops on iPad

Apple music will stop after 4 songs on my iPad Gen 6. This only started to happen after I updated to iPadOS 17.0.3.

Any suggestions on how to fix?

I have this exact same issue with my iPad Pro 11in 2nd gen, Apple Music stops playing randomly. It definitely isn’t a Wi-Fi problem because Spotify works great in the same iPad, YouTube videos also keep stopping but that’s another time. Apple, we need an effective sollution to this frustrating issue, and we need it now

Hi Skip in HK,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


To address this behavior try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If the music is being streamed, try downloading and test it. Add and download music from Apple Music - Apple Support


Restart your device, Restart your iPad - Apple Support


It looks like have updated iPadOS to the most recent version, which is always great to address performance anomalies.About iPadOS 17 Updates - Apple Support

Hi Skip in HK,


If you haven't already, try downloading songs as mentioned in the previous reply - Add and download music from Apple Music - Apple Support. That will help to determine if the issue is with streaming songs. If the same happens with downloaded music, reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. You can contact Apple from Get Support.


All the best.

This is happening since early ios17 versions. Now there is ios17.5, it's still not fixed, music still hangs randomly when it should skip to a next song.


It's all music local on my ipad, no streaming. Airplay or not.

The Music widget is out of sync with Music App if this happens.


Bug report/feedback gets no response, even if I send screen recordings and sysdiagnose along.

Very disappointing. Feedback assistant issue: FB13556340
