Apple Music Explicit Content

Apple Music has been nothing but problems for me since I downloaded it. I tried getting used to it and had about 160 songs added to the "My Music" tab from the Apple Music selection. When I went to download these songs for offline listening, everything went fine. My phone was looking good. Then, I moved to my Windows PC and opened up iTunes 12.2 and everything went down the drain. None of the music carried over, so I looked around online to find out how to get the iCloud Music Library from my iPhone to sync over to my iTunes on my PC. I found out I had to go to Preferences > General > iCloud Music Library. I turned it on, and all of my songs appeared on the computer. When I tried to download these songs for offline listening, it started to download all of my music. After it was finished, I noticed that it completely changed my library. Most of my explicit songs downloaded as the clean version and now I am getting the error "Unable to access your iCloud Music Library. Click to retry." I cannot even replace the clean versions that Apple Music downloaded because I cannot access my iCloud library. Any Suggestions?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

Good day Nock25,


Here's Carlos, Apple Support Communities Member!


I understand that you used Apple Music on your iOS and everything went fine, but when we talk about Windows PC version of iTunes, all your explicit content was removed and clean versions was delivered to you as your primary songs.


Well, first you've to know, that since Apple Music is music on demand, you should aprove by iTunes to show Explicit content on your library, to do so on your iOS, please go to Settings>Gerenal>Restrictions, tap your Password, if you already set one or just create a new one if you have restrictions off before, inside the TAB you will down up to "Allowed Content", on "Music & Podcasts" tab allow Explicit content over there.

If you want to do the same on iTunes, please go to Preferences>Parental> uncheck the box under the explicit content to become available on your PC.

If you notice that something is missing between your iOS and PC, please, access on your iTunes: "File">Library>Update your iCloud Library.

Check again if all your music is now available to listen to and lock'n load your favorites songs!


Any doubts?
Come back here and I'll try to help you a little more!

Thank you for the response, Carlos. To start off, I do have explicit music allowed on my PC. When I go to download my music for offline listening, it changes many of them from explicit to clean, but keeps many as explicit as well, it seems to be a random bunch that it changes. Also, after closing iTunes and opening it back up, I noticed the "clean" tags turned back to "explicit" but many songs still play the clean version. So now, I have no idea which songs are clean or not because they are all marked as explicit, even though 30+ songs play the clean version. I tried to highlight all of my songs and remove downloads, but I still cannot access my iCloud music library, so now I have no music to listen to until Apple fixes this. Apple Music is just a terrible mess. I will be going back to Google Play.
