I am an artist with music on apple music streaming. I cannot log in to connect with my apple id.

Hello Darryl,

I'm also having the SAME EXACT problems...only I never got my approval email... I happened to notice I suddenly have access to an "admin" tab and access to post content via Connect... However, like yourself, I too cannot change the appearance of my profile... really frustrating. Is there STILL no solid answer or fix to this after almost 2 years of your original post?

Hello thepianomanontario,

I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your account. If you are looking for more information and support for your iTunes Connect account, you may find the following page helpful:

Hi, I'm also an artist with my music on iTunes and Apple Music.

I can log in iTunes Connect website, but there is no option to change the profile photo, etc.

Apple, could you help me?

Thanks,

Filipe

all the suggestions here are for App Developers and IBook sellers...

to follow the same process as a musician the criteria Apple says we need to have is 10 or 20 albums in the iTunes store, basically this criteria is for Music Distributers or large Record Labels to be able to place music for sale in iTunes.

What many musicians want is just to update their "Connect" page for their bands. We already use music distributers to place our music for sale on iTunes.

where we are stuck is we have applied to manage our bands on "connect" - we've been approved and now we can't login to the connect app and when we login to the website we can login but the website has ZERO features or tools to actually update our "connect" page or even post to it.

The only way I can post to my connect page is via the iPhone Music app. Someone clearly didn't think this through properly!

musicians haven't set up a "connect" account in the same way as App Developers... or iBook sellers etc.

why is it that we musicians are dumped on this without proper guidance or perhaps the infrastructure for musicians hasn't been properly set up?

if I have been approved to manage my band on the "connect" feature of iTunes Connect and I can login and post updates to my band's "connect" page why oh why can't I login to the connect app?

and why when I login via safari browser there is no way to update my band's "connect" page?

Obviously some bands have been able to do this as they have the large photo at the top of their "Connect" page.

any tips or advice?

sign up here:

once approved to manage your band's page you will be able to post updates via the iPhone music app but that is all... you have no way to update your page with the banner photo or artwork for some strange reason.

hopefully someone at apple will pull their finger out soon...

dude, you need an apple iCloud email address or iTunes account, use that to login and request to be the account holder for your band on iTunes.

also, do not sign up to "put your music on iTunes" as you aren't a label or distributor... you want to scroll further down and request access to connect.

you music should already be on iTunes, you click to select your band to request to manage it and then submit the form

this will give you access to your band but you can't modify the page

use the music app on your iPhone to post updates to your band page.

for now.

As noted a little obscurely below, right now, you can't actually manage your band from the desktop iTunes (or iTunes Connect, which merely shows who is currently authorized in your band to post etc. )

THAT'S RIGHT - YOU HAVE TO USE THE NEW iOS MUSIC APP!

I got approved today, so I thought I'd test it out - it's indeed pretty obscure , but int h iOs Music app, you can manage your band, add comments to tracks and albums and maybe more that I haven't discovered working with this new undocumented music immigrant.

If you signed up your band and don't have an iDevice, you'll have to wait until Apple brings the desktop Music app (iTunes that is) up to date.

Interestingly, I can post to my artist connect page from my iPhone 6, but not from my iPad Mini (1st gen mini). On my phone, on the connect page, I get the tool to author content - which seems to be limited to adding a photo or song or video and a comment. Not anything like what they showed the Foo Fighters have. I could not find any place to edit comments to tracks, etc. Can you help by telling me exactly where in the interface to look?

Thanks,

Bob Martin
