iTunes Skipping Apple Music Songs [solved]

Hi,


Since yesterday every time I try to play a new song from Apple music on iTunes (macOS), that song is automatically skipped without playing anything. If I try to play an album, it skips every song sequentially. Any song I've already listened to is played with no problems.


I tried deleting the cache, and now every song is skipped.


Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas?


Thanks you.



EDIT: Whops, right after posting this question I saw someone else was having the same issue:


Apple Music Skips through tracks instead of playing them

The solution is to sign out and sign in again.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null

Had this problem for a while but solved it last week. Please try to sign out of iCloud in the System Preferences (not just in iTunes.) It might help to reboot before signing in, but can't be sure that's necessary. Then sign back in to iCloud in the System Preferences. After that go back to iTunes and sign in if necessary.

Apple was able to resolve this skipping songs issue for me today. It was only happening on my macbook pro and we went in and added full permissions to my user profile, we also deleted some cookies related to itunes. This is not something I can relay here step by step, but they were very helpful in walking me through it on the phone. I hope this helps someone out there!

I have this same issue. Apple music on my macbook pro will not play any songs in my apple music library or on their "browse" new apple music page.


I have tried deauthorizing, signing out, restarting, about a million times.


I've updated my OS, etc.


Apple music works fine on my phone.


THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A PAID SERVICE, WHAT DO WE DO APPLE???

Logging out and in does NOT work. iTunes has been skipping entire playlists since I started using Apple Music. In the past, syncing my iPhone to the laptop fixed it, but the problem would just reappear a few weeks later. This time, however, syncing did not work. Half of my songs won't ******* play now. Getting close to ditching Apple because of **** like this.
