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

Apple never, ever, gives updates on when something will be fixed. And I expect that this not a priority issue right now. So IF there’s a 14.7.1 or 14.8 in development we’ll just have to wait. While I see this issue myself it is not a show stopping bug at all. Apple could also just release a Music app update to fix it. Time will tell. Patience is a virtue.

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.

Thanks Jim but I think most people here don't want to update to Sequoia just to make one app work. It's a brand new and very expensive laptop, such basic functions should be a no-brainer. Dear Apple, just fix the problem.

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.

wow. I thought this was something that started happening a few days ago, but as I keep scrolling, it seems like this has been going on for two weeks now or more. Glad I am not the only one. So what now?

Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

The only options we have as of now are:

1. Upgrade the entire OS to Sequoia (not recommended, unless you planned on upgrading anyway)
2. Use the Apple Music player on the Web
3. Restrict your searches in the desktop Apple Music app to single keywords
4. Use an unaffected device (iPad or iPhone, or a Mac running any other version of Apple Music besides Sonoma) to search, and then add the desired song to your library

Also, anyone who has not done so should add their voices in reporting this to Apple, which helps gives them an idea of the severity of the issue.

Reporting back on October 26, 2024 and confirming—as others have—that the problem appears to be resolved. 👍🏻 🎉

I used the same test cases as before, and it's working now. So this tells us that it was indeed a backend issue, since no Music app or macOS update was required.

I will update (and close, if I can) my Feedback report with Apple.

Relieved that this super important issue has been fixed, and it only needed to be fixed on Apple's server end!

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

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

Apple probably does not read this user forum either.

YES! It took hours, but installing Sequoia 15.0.1 absolutely worked.

I'm now able to successfully search using multiple keywords on my MacBook.

Issue resolved.

Same problem. It's been going on since October 10th. I've tried signing out (on all devices) and signing back in. Didn't work. I've tried re-starts etc.

Can't find a fix.

I updated to 14.7 yesterday without it resolving the issue and went through a few steps with tech support. Final succcessful resolution: UPDATE to Sequoia, and Apple Music is functioning again.

Same issue started occurring with my 2020 MacBook Pro haven’t updated anything lately however if I type more then one word into search I get something went wrong screen. Sonoma 14.4.1 intel.

i am having the same issues, i'm running sonoma (14.2.1) on my M1Pro macbook pro and i cant use the seacrh bar on apple music at all. i can play music on recommended tabs, or go to artist's page from players. i'm gonna try to update my os to seqouia and see what happens
