an unknown error occurred -42587 on Apple music

Went to play one of my playlists and it would constantly change songs over and over again until I got a message with that error code. I can't listen to music and it's a total bummer I have been loving this app as well. Anybody know what's up?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.4

Try these steps:

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Sign out and back in to your account.
  3. Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on it.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

If the problem remains, contact Apple to get help.

Came across this error a couple of time already. Resetting the phone works quite often for me.
In case the error still occurs, I also try these steps (IOS 9.3.1)

1. Force the app to stream a file via mobile network:

  • Settings > Mobile Data > Turn ON for Music
  • Settings > Music > Use Mobile Data > ON

2. Turn OFF Wifi
3. Play any track in your library you have NOT available offline and pause once it starts playing

4. Turn back the old settings

  • Settings > Mobile Data > Turn OFF for Music
  • Settings > Music > Use Mobile Data > OFF


Hope that helps
