Apple Music Error 'Unable to download songs'

I had the same problem. Was crazy frustrated about it till bro I don’t even know. But I was able to solve it. Delete the music app from your phone. No worries. It’s easy to find an re-install from the App Store. Then go to settings, general and reset. Then choose the first option - reset settings. Just settings, not all contents and settings. First option. When it’s done rebooting, go to the App Store and re-install the music app. Then setup your Apple Music from settings and you’re good to go! Please do email me at kobbykyeibaffour@yahoo.com if you find this helpful. Really feeling great about this breakthrough lol. ✌-1F3FE;

Did you ever figure this out? Im having problems downloading music. I click download and it just flashes then goes away. Might not remember since it was from March, but worth a shot

There is no way i can download tracks from Apple music for offline play...router change, LTE... nothing works..hufff hufff hiff

I am going to dump Apple Music.

Actually it would be really great, but nothing works the way it should.

In addition to not beeing able to make playlists availble for offline listening, some of my songs can't even be streamed.

No fix in sight and obviously Apple support does not have a clue :-(

the best i can do is make the pop ups go away by manually stopping each of the downloading tracks that keep saying "unable to download". in the music app, on the library page there's a tab for "downloaded music". in that folder, there's another folder called "downloading music"; in this folder you can tap "cancel all downloads" and it should stop your pending downloads. if there are still pop ups with songs that can't be downloaded, go through your song list on the music app to find songs with the downloading symbol next to their name and stop the process. also make sure that in settings, under music, "automatic downloads" is turned off. i'm using apple music without itunes match and out of my 2,000 tracks about 30 are songs that can't be downloaded, probably because they have DRM or something. they're either popular songs i got from limewire or they're covers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I paid for Apple Music & this song I wanna download you can't without the album. Says "album only " so I downloaded it & still isn't working. I would definitely buy the song , but I don't even get that option. Why is this?? It's mad annoying. Can you fix this issue? Since I pay $10 a month I would love too get my money's worth! Thanks. :)

Same issue here, on the phone with Apple Support now i'll let you know if anything comes out of it

I am having the same issue. I was able to download a lot of music for offline play but as of Thursday, I was unable to do so. I tried completely redoing Apple Music, but now I juSt lost all that I did download and can't get them back either. Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Yep, I'm having the same problem too and can't see any way to fix it online. Very very frustrating!!

HI Nick. Were Apple Support able to fix the problem. I'm having the same issue trying to download music to play offline, which only seemed to start occurring yesterday. Tried all the usual logging out and back in, and rebooting, but no joy. Looks like a growing number of people reporting similar issues but no acknowledgement from Apple to confirm the problem.

Were Apple Support able to help?

i Can download anything in my iTunes Match, but anything from apple music fails

Same problem.

Unable to download anything on iPhone or iPad both running iOS 8.4. Also unable to even play anything on iTunes version 12.2.1, all tracks just instantly skip.

Things that DON'T seem to work:

1. Logging out of Apple music
2. Restarting devices
3. Deleting/recreating playlists.
4. Turning wifi on/off

Some acknowledgement of the problem from Apple would be appreciated. I'd be interested to know what support had to say, if anything.

Same problem here. Have tried logging out, turning off Apple music, restarting phone etc but nothing works. Currently have around 70 tracks stuck in a downloads queue that I can't get rid off. Nothing streams either. Only songs working are ones Ive purchased or have used iTunes Match

Plus it won't stop TRYING to download them even though it can't. And it's killing my battery
