Cloud Music Library not responding

same here, is happening on two of my computers running yosemite and the latest itunes.

Same issue here. Restarting iTunes seems to work for a few minutes and then the error comes back. My iTunes library is on an external hard drive... but other than that, my setup is pretty basic.

I'm getting the same error message. I'm attempting to access my library from my second mac, which has no music physically on the harddrive. I restarted iTunes and my macbook itself, still persists.

Apple uptime stats says iTunes match is still running though, they are probably not aware of the connection issues yet.

strangely it seems to have stopped happening for me, but it did persist for about an hour this morning. i am able to stream songs from apple music.

Yeah, this message just started for me this morning. It's coming up about every 5 minutes and is making iTunes impossible to listen to. Please help! I've checked my firewall and while it is on, there isn't a place to check which port has been set.

Getting the same error on my end as well.

I am having a similar issue. The 503 error is coming up. Does anyone know if this might be related to Family Apple Music? I.e. Is there a way to figure out if it is for sure my computer or could it be related to someone else's computer/device on the Family plan?

I am going to try all software updates and re-start and see what happens from there. So far iCloud and Apple Music have been a pretty big disaster - no transparency, hard to get an answer on what the service even does exactly! Get it together, Apple!

Same error. Just added six CDs to my music library, and as an iTunes Match user, they are not being added to cloud properly, or so it seems. I see three of them on my iPhone Music app in the recently added, but those were the first three I added. Don't see the second three titles.

Fix now with another update, Cupertino. Don't tell me to rename and move libraries, etc. Apple products are supposed to be simple and seamless!

Oh and I am using OS 10.8.5 and had to download iTunes 12.2.1.16 directly from apple.com because the built-in update mechanism DID NOT WORK.

Same here, but on Windows machine. It pops up randomly all morning (CST) today. Same exact message though.

it was working for about 20 minutes, and now it's popping up with that erroe again.

HELP!!!! I'm getting the same message, and I have NO CLUE how to fix it. I have made ZERO changes to my hardware or software in the last 24 hours!

I'm guessing this is on Apple's end since these are all post from today. I just updated (20 minutes ago) to the newest iTunes from the version without Music. Before it was fine, after update the thing is bouncing every 5 minutes.

Same issue been happening periodically throughout the day. I just click the little cloud again that has the little sideways lightening bolt on it a few times and it usually reconnects. Its happening right now though and doesn't seem to be recovering like earlier. https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ shows that all status is OK so Im posting this in hopes it adds to the complaints and gets noticed by apple.

You have another victim here - this is starting to look bad for Apple. I hope that they are able to respond quickly with a fix.
