Q: iPhone music app freezing, throwing me out, misbehaving

I have similar problems on my iPad air 2 .. it´s a 4g capable 128gb unit, and after 5 or so songs relayed via airplay the app stops responding.  It hoggs resources like mad, notes app is lagging for example when this happens.

Takes up to 1 minute to recover from this, only sollution so far has been to reboot the ipad to be able to play another 5 or so songs..  Doubletapping home and ending the app does not fix it.

Also if I try to access music tab under settings, after freeze - and before reboot, the same thing happens. Settings app freezes, and music tab is unaccessible.

Streaming via Wi-Fi, or offline songs.. doesn´t matter.

Holy crap this last update has made a mess of this app.

THIS IS A RED FLAG BUG....  Should have been a showstopper in beta already

The recent update that was supposed to fix the initial problems with Apple Music (I wasn't having any problems) has actually CREATED problems for me. The app continuously freezes, I can't access the Music menu in Settings to turn Apple Music off altogether. I've also noticed that my battery drain is worse too!! ***. I read today that it seems people are dropping AM at a high rate. No wonder. Me too I'm afraid.

same here. it spits me out to the Apple Music sign up page and locks when I try to do anything that uses my Apple ID in settings (music, iCloud, messages, Apple Music profile in the Music app) all since installing 8.4.1

I have similar issues with Apple Music iOs. It was working pretty well up to 2 days ago. Now I have iTunes open on my my Mac and Apple Music on my iPhone is not able to access radio feature or does not play any of my songs. I have rebooted my iPhone every two hours due to this issue. Yesterday, my iPhone announced that I am listening on different device and suddenly my Mac stopped playing my song as my iPhone was trying to access the music catalogue. I think these bugs are really annoying.

I have the exact same issue here, the problem affects not only Music but also Podcasts, the iTunes Store, even these apps' settings.

You have to consider that it might be a bug in you software. I have updated my devices and its working fine.  Back up  the device and restore it to factory settings and set up as a new device and test. If all is ok then restore your data and then test.

If software has a bug, bug does not disappear by reinstalling the same software unless Apple has quietly fixed the issue without giving the software package new release number:)

This exact problem started a few days ago on my 6+.  In the For You tab I will click on a playlist or album (that is not in my library), nothing will happen, then it will kick it back to the original sign up page.  If I re-boot, it works for a few hours, then it will start up again.  If I am going to pay $14.99 a month, it has to work as advertised.

Okay I'll bite. Just restored my phone using a fresh install of 8.4.1. I'll report back if I have any issues.

My belief is that the phone is losing contact or communication with the Apple ID servers. Hence why it freezes when you try to look at settings on anything Apple ID related (Music, Messages, iCloud)

And now I can't access the iTunes & App Store menu in Settings. It just freezes the whole Settings app. It's true that it seems that all settings specific to iTunes that involve connectivity to Apple are effed up. Everything freezes. They are unuseable. Now what?!??

Same situation here. The only way to fix it just for while, until it freezes again, is to turn off the iPhone or the iPad and turn it on again. It just drives me crazy. It started after the installation of the iOS 8.4.1. version. Pleeaaaase, help us.

I backed up my iPhone 6 to iCloud and restored via iTunes. That was at 10am this morning. It is now 4pm and I have not had any issues. Will update if I do but I believe this fixed it.

Did you restore from a backup or as a new phone? 

I just restored from backup in icloud. Though iTunes would've worked faster I believe.
