When I ask Siri to play a song it keeps giving me the message oops their seems to be a problem but if I say play music by (any artist) it will play the albums by them.
I have hard reset both the iphone and the watch and nothing changed, any suggestions other than to un-pair and repair or reset the watch.
Apple Watch, watchOS 1.0.1
Having the same problem, just started happening the last 24 hours. Annoying!!!! Apple please fix!
Yes, same problem here. Contacted apple support and am still working through the problem but have done just about everything - reboots, unpairing, paring resetting network settings and restoring my iphone 6 from a previous backup. It WAS, working just two days ago so I'm beginning to feel the problem is on Apple's side. Will update the post if I can solve the problem.
The problem simply went away once I signed up the Apple Music trial. Siri can now play individual songs, albums & artists.
Jpcrews, Thank you, signing up for apple music did solve the problem, I noticed this problem just started when apple music started, I would have never thought you had to sign up for apple music to straighten it out, Thanks again for posting the solution, every time apple comes out with new software they break something else.
This worked for me too and I'm pretty angry. I don't think I should have to sign up for a free trial of a paid service just for my watch to work like it did originally. After three months it's $10/mo and when I cancel the service I don't know if my watch will suddenly stop working for playing songs.
I had this same issue over the last week, I contacted apple support and they were no help, even went as high as their engineers. Also tried subbing to apple music etc, still no change.
I managed to fix it by making sure the language settings were the same on both the Apple Watch and the Iphone, in my case one was set to just plain old English and the other to English Australia, I changed them both to English Australia and restarted, voila it now works like a charm.
As a side note: It seemed to stop when updating to IOS 8.4, maybe this reset the language?
I don't want Apple Music. Apple needs to fix this. My main use for Siri is choosing songs--not artists or albums or playlists.
Apple watch, Siri will not play idividual songs, I keep getting the message, oops their seems to be a problem.
