Can’t find a fix for 'This song is not available in your region' on Apple Music...
I use Apple Music purely to play MP3s on my iPhone, in the
UK, which are transferred from my PC via iTunes. I constantly find certain
tracks aren’t transferred, or won’t work, and get the alert - 'This song is not
available in your region'. However it’s often random and the next time I
connect my phone some of the tracks will transfer and work, I’ve even had voice
recordings that I’ve made myself which generate the same alert - 'This song is
not available in your region'. My Apple ID is set to the correct country.
So far, I have tried all these fixes –
1 ATTEMPTED FIX
Go to: Settings > Account > Media & Purchases > View Account >
Country/Region and in the "Media & Purchases" menu, sign out and
then sign in again.
RESULTS
It worked on a few songs and then they stopped working again.
2 ATTEMPTED FIX
Update iPhone software and iTunes.
RESULTS
No noticeable improvements.
3 ATTEMPTED FIX
Reset warnings in Apple Music or iTunes.
RESULTS
No noticeable improvements.
4 ATTEMPTED FIX
Sign out of your Apple ID account and then sign back in.
RESULTS
No noticeable improvements.
5 ATTEMPTED FIX
Change Apple ID country or region.
RESULTS
I’m in the UK and this made no difference.
6 ATTEMPTED FIX
Slightly alter the title of a mp3, e.g. add ‘new version’ to it.
RESULTS
This worked for a few weeks and then stopped again.
Has anybody got a fix for this problem that works?!
iPhone 5c, iOS 10
