There are several ways to fix Apple Music if it's not playing.mrmohock/Shutterstock

• If Apple Music isn't playing on your iPhone or iPad, try shutting down the app and opening it again, or restart your device.
• If all but a single song or two will play, delete it from your Apple Music library and re-download it to get a clean file.
• In some cases, you may need to reset your device's network settings, or sign out and then back into your Apple ID account.

Are you about to start a jog, but can't get your psyche-up song to play? Or are you trying to pump up the jams at a house party, only to have Apple Music go silent?

Don't worry — you're not alone. Apple Music is a well-made app, but it's not uncommon to run into errors where the app simply won't play any music.
