IOS 17.1 Apple Music stops after a couple of songs on 6th Gen iPad

I’m glad I’m not the only one! Apple Music is borderline useable after this update for me. iPhone 11 Pro max

Edit: I see this thread is for iPads in particular, but I am having very similar issues with iPhone

The tech suggested to call Billing & request a discount on my Apple One subscription as I have not been using AM on my iPads for almost a month now, called billing dept & was told “wait for update” once again after which they may consider ; depending on how many users are having the same issue…

iPad Gen 7. Same problem. Absolutely sucks. I think the problem started after the 17.1 updated. iPhone still works fine. Everything was working just fine before that. I wasted over 3 hours fiddling with settings, resets, clean up, re-installs etc. assuming that the problem was mine. Thank god I found this discussion or I would have gone crazy. I hope this is not another sneak attack to force us old-timers to buy a "new" iPad model.

I guess we can't do anything but twiddle our toes until the next iOS update drops and our problems magically disappear.

OOPS falsle alarm ... The above "did not work" on 6th Gen 7.1.1. I grabbed the wrong iPAD it was my 5th Gen which is running 16.7.2 the synch fix did make that version with iTunes run super smooth with no hitches.

Nothing like being a DJ with 1000’s of songs loaded down to my iPad and not being able to use it, right in time for the holidays! Corporate parties, weddings. Please get this osipad 17 issue fixed for music or you can pay us for the events we have to cancel. Quit being an activist and be software engineers.

Thank you Apple Music…….we are on week two of no service! Your ill conceived IOS update has left Apple Music on my IPad DEAD! With no fix or estimated time or even just some decent communication with your costumers ……. WTF? The all mighty Apple is losing its shine…….. let’s see what are my other choices for music providers?

Ditto here. 6th gen Ipad; updated to V 17.1.1 and now my music is unusable. When I'm lucky, it will see my music library, but will stop after a song or two. In most cases, though, it just doesn't see any music content at all. (Not an Apple music subscriber.) I finally found this forum only to discover that the issue hasn't been solved. Like everyone else here, I count on being able to use the music app, as I've done FOR A LONG TIME, and I'm frustrated at suddenly not having it. I paid for every song I have, and they're suddenly unavailable. That's a bad business model. You guys are computer engineers. Figure it out and fix it.

I want to know if the problem doesn’t get fix should we be getting charged for our subscription?

we are all having the same issue with this it work fine before and now it’s doesn’t even want to start or it doesn’t play after one song. I have deleted the app and restarted my iPad and reinstalled the app and it still does it. If the problem doesn’t get resolved I think we should get a refund on our month subscription.

I’ve found a way to upgrade to the developmental 17.2

Question to those who have tried it: did you notice any new bugs or issues?

I don’t want to install this experimental test upgrade only to find it has even more bugs than 17.1.1

I have the same issue. I could get the music on my playlists to work again by restarting the iPad but, after the latest update to 17.1.1, the songs on my playlists are not even visible and every control is frozen so i can’t even get back to my home screen. Is Apple working on a fix? Has anyone found a workaround?

FWIW I turned off Bluetooth and Siri on my 9th Gen iPad, and can now use Amazon Music. I can only stream (to other devices, e.g. audio/video receivers) via AirPlay, of course, which isn't ideal since I use Bluetooth in my car and with my headphones and earphones.

The same changes to the 6th Gen iPad don't have any effect.

Has anyone been able to receive a credit for Apple Music as a result of this issue? I’m just wondering if it’s worth pursuing since it’s pretty much been as useless as a screen door and a submarine since this update.

I’ve been having this problem for a few weeks now and discovered a new update to 17.1.2 and got my hopes up that the Music would now work. Nope. Still not fixed. My children are not able to sleep well. They depend on sleep music and have not had it for weeks now. This is ridiculous!

It looks to me like we will have to wait until 17.2 to get a proper fix. For those with older gen devices that may be a problem, because the storage required for that update will be even larger than 17.1

I just popped in here to see if anyone did the upgrade to 17.1.2, and if so, to see if it worked.

I guess not. Sigh.

This is so frustrating. I was working with a senior IT person who supposedly was in contact with the engineers, but she stopped responding to emails a week ago. No follow ups. Just silence. 😠
