Music App - Search error: "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Having the same issue just in the last 2 days - likewise since updating to 14.7. No VPN and stable FTTP with speeds of 500mb down and 80mb up speeds. Typically fixes itself after a few minutes and is then OK.

I'm also getting this error on a MacBook Air (MQKP3B/A) running macOS Sonoma 14.7 with all OS updates applied, and the Music app versioned at 1.4.6. As far as I can tell, it only ever happens when there's a space in the search query - though I've also seen some queries with spaces in them succeed.

Since this search problem started happening, I'm also getting temperamental error messages when dragging and/ or dropping tracks to the Playing Next pane on the right of the Music app's UI, saying that I'm not logged in with an Apple ID even though I am. For the drag/ drop to succeed, I have to Sign Out from the account menu, re-authenticate, wait for all my playlists to re-sync from the cloud and repeat the operation.

Hoping that Apple will investigate & fix these recently introduced bugs, as I (and some others out there who are also affected, I suspect) ought not to be force-rushed into updating to Sequoia just because of it.

I am having this issue on MacOS 14.7 Sonoma.

Can't search "Back in Black."

Can search AC/DC and see "Back in Black" in the top reuslts.

Can't search many things I know exist in Apple Music. Not having this problem in itunes on my windows machine at work or any issues on my family's ipones/ipads/androids.

The only workaround is to wait for the next update of macOS 14.7.1. And i find it hard to believe this makes Apple Music useless. I’m seeing the same and have almost no issues searching and using single word search terms.

Microsoft has nothing to do with this forum. Apple Music and macOS are Apple products.

Apple probably does not read this user forum either.

I also started experiencing this issue when I was issued a new MPB through my employer which is running 14.6.1 and music v1.4.6.32. Finally figured out the single word workaround. Quite a disruptive bug.

Same here. It feels as if the search is breaking at the point where it would have identified a search as an artist (before displaying the artist image in the predictive search results).

"The Beatl" works, showing the predictive results "The Beatles" and the artist image.

"Tift Merri" shows the predictive test result "Tift Merritt" but doesn't make the jump to connect this to the artist.

I have just now updated my MacBook Pro to Sequoia 15.0.1 and that fixed the music search item :-)

the only way for me to fix this is to update the the OS Seqouia sadly

Apple is likely not reading this, as it's a user forum. Please contact Apple Support or send feedback via the Product Feedback form to add your voice to the case.

Same problem on Sonoma 14.3. Using a single word works but makes the app virtually useless....when you want to find a specific track....

All the hope in the world doesn’t fix anything unless Apple is informed by users about it. Apple Support is not here.

I’m experiencing the same issue. The Music app on my Apple TV is also affected. What parts of the country do you who have the issue live in. I'm in the midwest. It could be a server issue on Apple’s end.

Same here, it has been going on/off for some weeks, seems the place where you will type you search term is rather touchy.

Sometimes I take my iPad and get the answer promptly, mostly, but its a strange situation.

Music has been rock solid "always"

I'm having the same problem on Macbook Pro 2020 M1 (iOS is fine). I can't access the Apple Music page for any artist by searching. Clicking on an artist's name in my library sometimes works. Tried restarting, signing out and back in--problem persists.
