Q: Unable to connect to iCloud music library

mine was working fine until the update. It's frustrating because I can get to the music on my iPhone. Only iTunes is doing this.  It's the update of iTunes that is causing this.

Which is why I am sure there's a small percentage of those experienced users who are very glad to let everybody posting on this site do all the bug testing for them.   Then a few days later, or maybe after the next bug-fix release in a week or two they will upgrade.   Or maybe not, if they find everybody complaining some key feature was removed in the new version of iTunes. 

Same here. I'm on macOS Sierra GM.

Same issue here on 10.11.6

Cool very helpful

After updating both iTunes 12.5.1 and my iPad to iOS 10

iCloud is working just fine: I tried to match a song and it did it and fast

A timed coincidence? I didn't have to restart

I suggest to check it again

I have the same message — it pops up every minute — but iTunes 12.5.1 does connect to my content (which happens to be on a separate drive). I have not tried restarting yet.

I am having the same problem on my MacBook and iMac. The MacBook I updated to the newest iTunes. My iMac has not been updated which leads me to believe this is a server issue and will start working soon.

Same issue here on 10.11.6

Yes but should not the system have the strength and capacity to withstand the onslaught?

Same issue here, but I don't think it is the update.  My iTunes was giving me the same error BEFORE I updated.

Same issue here. Only after updating to 12.5.1. Fine on IOS. Bad on any instance of Itunes I install. Mac or PC.

Same here. Although I have to admit: I felt a relief that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Hope they can work it out soon.

I'm having this issue too ever since I updated to OS X 10.11.6. I think it also updated iTunes to 12.5.1 which is the real cause of the issue. Don't think this has anything to do with iOS 10

I was having this issue earlier, and then it went away for awhile (I restarted computer and signed in and out of iTunes).  Now it is back. I should have downloaded the music I use for work (all items I own, not Apple Music tracks) while I had the chance.   

2011 iMac with Mac OS 10.11.6 (15G1004)

I was getting the "Unable to connect to iCloud music library" error before I updated iTunes to 12.5.1.21 (just now). Still getting the error now… continually. Airplay working fine. Looks to me like it’s on Apple’s end?
