Music not working after ios17 update

iPad 6th gen user here, and this completely replicates my experience. The Music app is pretty much nonfunctional. Restarting the device is useless and the update made it worse. I also have a iPhone SE 2020, and that has zero issues. Not happy at all.

This isn't just for paid streaming, this is for music I have downloaded to my iPad. Songs I have either bought on the iTunes store in the past or ones I've had in my library for years. I run an automation of quiet songs around bed time to help me fall asleep that has worked also for years, now it plays two songs and stops. Need a fix soon, I like sleep.

When will Apple fix this issue????

I do not stream music, I purchase music and have since I’ve owned a mac. This latest update (17.1.2) has rendered the music app totally useless on my ipad. I cannot play any music for any of my music, which is a first world problem for sure, but I am so disappointed and annoyed. Most of my playlists are now blank; sometimes I can get one song to play if my library appears, but that’s it. The screen freezes, is unresponsive, and unworkable. I have restarted the app and my ipad to no avail. I really hate that I cannot access my music, especially during the holidays as I cook and clean or try to sleep. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP PLEEEEASE.

They claim that OS17.1.2 will solve, it did not, they have no solution as the error is both worldwide and random,.

My music app is a mess too. Even after the 17.1.2 update. The albums come and go at random. When they do play, then i can’t shut them off. Boot the app off the screen and it keeps playing anyways! My music is all bought music. I believe they will fix it. Hopefully sooner than later. A test of patience for me, in our high tec world ……for sure.

Same problem for far too long now (over a week) -- plays one song, maybe two (maybe...) then stops working. Extremely frustrating and highly unacceptable for a paid music service.

Me too, Apple Music on ipad running OS 17.1.2 stops abruptly all the time. Renders the App completely useless.

I re-opened my case number last week after the 17.1.2 update did not fix this universal iTunes problem. To date, I have not heard back from them, nothing. I know that millions anre probably affected by this but Apple have made no general statement about this, or when it will be resolved, that’s worrying. I don’t pretend to know about IT maintenance, but it’s their business to know.. Communication from Apple would allay some worries and give users some sort of timeline.

Same here. 6th gen iPad Music app is broken. Also tried the other apps which works with Apple Music library and they also don’t work. Tried everything including wiping out my iPad and starting over to 3rd party repair from my pc to no avail. Had to revive an old iPhone 6 to use as an iPod with old fashion wired earphone outlet to listen to music. Last time I update an older apple product older than 3 years. The iPad was working great on ios16.

Since I first posted on this issue I’ve received lots of many reports of similar issues of concerning Apple iso 17. My main is to usingiTunes on my Windows 11 PC. It has totally destroyed my use of iTunes. So it needs to be fixed before my next subscription is due!!!

Me too, and latest update 17.1.2 has not fixed the issue

Others have reported that Apple Music doesn't play well on an iPad with iOS 17. Leave feedback with Apple: Product Feedback - Apple

Same here. Updated to 17.1.2 in hopes of improvement...no dice.

App becomes randomly unresponsive moments after restart, stops streaming after one song...that kind of thing. 2020 iPad, and one of its main uses is PLAYING MUSIC AND SOUND to help my children sleep.

Shockingly bad bug destroying one of the core features of the device.

My music has also stopped playing, I get one tune and then it stopped. I have to shut down to start another tune.
