Q: Can't switch to Apple Music Student Membership?
So I decided to switch to this new student membership plan Apple is offering since I'm a student. Every time I attempt to click this "Student (1 month) Verification Required" option in the iTunes app, I get redirected to the iTunes download page. When I tried it with my phone, it didn't do anything, it just closed off and remained an individual membership.
Then, I went to the UNiDAYS website through which you're supposed to verify your student ID on and clicked Redeem Online and that also redirected me to the http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ link. So frustrating. It's like it can't connect to the iTunes store even though I have iTunes installed?? Please help.

Fixed it. Not totally sure what did the trick but here's what I did.
1) Turned off Auto Renew
2) Logged out of Apple Music, then logged back in.
3) Closed Apple Music on iPhone by swiping to close on the fast switching bar (I think this might have done it)
4) Reopened Apple Music, went to Account > View Apple ID > Manage > Your Membership > Student Member Verification Required.
This time, I popped out to a UNiDays web page and then back to Apple Music. Note, I had previously set up a UNiDays account and it was probably still active in a Safari page. I did not need to re-enter my UNiDays info. Your experience might be a bit different.
Good luck.
