Cloud Music Library not responding

This same issue started for me today at 17:28 BST and is still happening every 3 minutes at 21:33 BST.

Did anyone receive a fix or is it just a intermittent error at Apple's end?

Happening to me right now. Not a fan. By the way, only having this issue on Mac's, iOS devices working just fine.

Am getting the exact same issue and have been for several hours. I see a popup every ten minutes or so with the same error message.

happening to me too

yep, happening to me too. I'll bet someone at apple has a pretty serious headache.

Hello~ I don't know if this solution is permanent yet, but I just tried it and so far it appears to work. Good Luck!

I would recommend trying to sign out through the Store menu on the top, and then signing back in, then restart iTunes after a few seconds. It could be coincidence, but that did the trick for me.

Still down here, iTunes error 503...

Still down for me too.

No music in germany. Cool concept this cloud stuff.

Same problem also in Italy in the last hour (at least). The system is mainly down (getting 503 error message) but from time to time I'm able to get in using my iMac for few minutes only. The same iCloud music library is meanwhile perfectly accessible from iPad

I'm suspicious that it says "

“Cloud Music Library” is not responding. (503)

Why doesn't it say iCloud?

Also getting the same error message, for the first time:

The shared library “Cloud Music Library” is not responding. (503)

Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 443.

I am also suspicious that it says Cloud and not iCloud -- today has been a very suspicious and weird day for my Apple devices.

1) My MBP randomly shut froze (black screen) and required force reboot

2) My iPhone 6 Plus is no longer able to recognize Wi-Fi at all (you can't even turn Wi-Fi on in order for it to find networks, it's like the radio inside is dead)

3) Now this...

No idea what is going on but definitely suspicious since all three devices/softwares have been working perfectly fine

The Resolution is to Turn on firewall:

Go to:

1. System Preference
2. Security and Privacy
3. Firewall Tab
4. Unlock and turn on firewall
5. Lock
6. Go into iTunes

It should be fixed if you did the steps correctly

If you wish to keep firewall off, you may turn it back off, it'll still be working

The Resolution is to Turn on firewalll and turn it back off:

Go to:

1. System Preference
2. Security and Privacy
3. Firewall Tab
4. Unlock and turn on firewall
5. Lock
6. Go into iTunes

It should be fixed if you did the steps correctly

If you wish to keep firewall off, you may turn it back off, it'll still be working

What if our Firewall is on and we want it that way?
