Icloud music library not activating

When I try to switch on Icloud Music Library it switches back off within a few seconds automatically.

I've tried all the methods so far: airplane mode, remove/add my account, reboot, closing Music app, disabling Wifi.

Country Romania.

I even contacted Apple Support, they had no idea about this..strange.

I see no error message, just the switch going back off by itself in a matter of seconds.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4

The conflicting answers from Apple support were only received in the first day after the launch - and is somehow understandable for a global product launch in 100+ markets, each with it's particularities. Later on it was clarified by all sources that there is no legal issue, it should work in RO, it's a technical issue and is being currently addressed. Initially the support staff was not informed of the situation so they have guess-timated an answer best to their abilities. Also expecting to get a reply from Cue at this point is like expecting a reply from Santa 🙂 . I am not defending Apple - as it's clear that they have screwed up with the RO launch, but I am pointing out that these screw-ups are to be expected and part of a normal process of service roll-out, especially on such massive scale. Be a little patient and all will be cleared out - especially that you are not a paying Apple Music user at this point.

A workaround found by Ianos Gadzsa



1.Go to Settings - Music
2.Enable Airplane Mode
3.Quickly deactivate Airplane mode from control center and quickly enable icloud music library then quick ativate airplane mode again
4. Now activate/deactivate airplane mode several times (+-10 times should be good)
IMPORTANT leave it on airplane mode.
5. Hard reset your device (home button + power button)
6. Deactivate airplane mode after reboot
Voila! iCloud Music Library should be enabled now!


I can confirm it worked for me.

It worked for me too! Only on my iPhone though... the iPad won't do it no matter how hard I try.

There are a couple of odd things which prove that it's not an overall (account) integration of iCloud Music Library.

For example, my Windows iTunes won't turn it on, and won't even download the songs I've made available offline on my iPhone. My iPad won't do it either. So, we can conclude that this a ONE DEVICE ONLY activation, it won't work in iCloud and transfer whatever song you save and push it to all the devices linked to your account.
