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

Today I've run into my first problem with Apple Music. It's not loading any of my songs that I've added from Apple Music. It's graying out all of them. I've been using Apple Music for weeks and am just now getting this error message.


I have Norton Security Suite. Is this a common problem that Norton is causing or something else?

Windows 7

Oh yeah I saw that and couldn't ******* believe it. Literally every company out there has a way for you to just chat with a customer service rep and they give you one free one and then want to charge $30 for the next time? Are you kidding me? What if my problem doesn't get fixed?


It's one thing if this was free but I'm dishing out $10 a month I should be able to talk to someone whenever I **** well please.

I was able to resolve this issue on Yosemite 10.10.4. I'm not sure if it will work for Windows users.


I tried signing out, turning off the library in the cloud, tried reinstalling iTunes, restarting, etc., and nothing would bring my iTunes Match and Apple Music songs back. I finally logged out of my user and logged into a test user, signed in with my Apple ID there, and then logged back into my main user. This caused the songs to return and the items in the cloud became playable again. Previously, I wasn't able to add any songs from Apple Music to my library without getting the error posted above, but I can now add them without issues and the streaming is working.

Hope this helps!

First time this happened to me was today. Seemed to be some connectivity issues to the store over the weekend as well. I have subscribed to Apple Music (family subscription; my ID is the primary) and I still have Match turned on (so need to have access to that iCloud library - don't want to deselect that option). I expect it is a periodic issue and it will resolve in time. I am running an Apple Time Machine running the current software as well, so I don't think that my router is blocking access on port 443 and I don't have a firewall on my computer running separately. Patience, it seems, is the key here. Any other observations?
