iCloud music Session expired - Login freezes iTunes

Whenever I run iTunes, I get the message to iCloud music Session has expired. When I log in with my password, I get the wheel of the Rainbow of death and it connects never in my iCloud session. If I try to cancel this window, it will pop up to 2 to 3 times more. If I click on the red button X, the window disappears. In all these situations, I can't select anything in iTunes. I can't open any music, I can't transfer any music to a device, I can't open all the options like preferences or even close the session (these are all the options are grayed out). So I can't try any of the proposals which have already been described here. I'm under El Capitan 10.11.2 and the latest version of iTunes.

Thanks for any help!

  • Question about the music library to iCloud (music Apple) and iTunes on mac

    Download I m just of my iTunes in the music library of iCloud library. Since I was afraid that my library of 40000 + titles could get corrupted or metadata could be changed by apple, I downloaded the files from a 'second' machine (macbook) - just to be on the safe side and keep my iTunes library local main on my iMac intact by iCloud (for the moment).

    Now everything seems fine with iCloud music library, but after all the titles/songs are in iCloud now, what happens if I disable the library iCloud music on the 'second' machine and Activate the library iCloud music on my main machine (iMac), which has the same local as my second machine iTunes library? (= the same local iTunes library, which has been already downloaded?)

    ICloud/iTunes will recognize that all songs/files are already uploaded to the music library iCloud and doe 'nothing', or download will process all over again and will lead to 'double' all the files/songs in iCloud?

    The same question arises if we restore iTunes library local on a mac from a backup + switches on iCloud music library a second time... will be iTunes + icloud music library download all the files again or not?

    Unless something is wrong, it should recognize and not duplicate.

  • ICloud for Apple music activation will damage my iTunes library?

    I agree with Apple's music and I understand that if I want to add pieces of Apple's music in my iTunes library I must activate iCloud. I have so far resisted doing this since all reports of permanent damage to your library master iTunes at the time where Apple music was introduced. It means your iTunes library will be scanned and anything in the catalog of music Apple is copied in your iCloud, but at a lower speed to ICloud. Music you have (I have 1700 titles of a CD, I added that I bought) is not in the catalog will be copied in iCloud, but at a lower rate. But I was warned of the following problems. Does anyone know if all those who have been set? Of course, I keep a backup of everything on my Mac, but I'm afraid of damaging my iTunes library. I've read about problems are:

    1. DRM is added to the music you own and copied to your iTunes library.
    2. Music you have will be converted at any bit rate and a different format (I use MP3) and copied in your library.
    3. Many only find albums that they have got iTunes tracks scrambled, metadata for artist names and track names got scrambled, and playlists got out of order.
    4. Album cover and the track got corrupted and replaced with incorrect art.

    I know things are not supposed to be true based on the Apple FAQ, but they occurred when music Apple and iOS 9 first came out. These questions definitely resolved?

    1. no DRM will not be added to your own music and copied into your iTunes Library UNLESS you decide to delete your original files and then re - upload to your computer's iTunes library. Or if you have set up a second computer share the same Apple ID and download the tracks to this second computer.

    2 not - yet as answer #1 - if you delete your original files and then re-download. You will receive versions Apple music that - according to what bitrate you torn initially to-may or may not be a lower data rate.

    3. Yes, it happens. But most often it happens when you try to listen to music on other computers or devices. There was reports of these types of problems in their library (the one people used as source to configure BCTI) original iTunes and that's why it makes sense to have a backup of your original files. But, that being said, I've been using AM / BCTI since it began and I saw only occasional and minor problems with my metadata on my original library. However, I've seen a lot of questions on the iPhone and iPad that share my ID Apple and iCloud music library - mainly the wrong version of a song being substituted for the one I have in my library (the original) iMac iTunes.

    4 Yes - See answer #3.

    Yet once again, most of these problems happen either (1) on the secondary devices you use with your music library to iCloud or (2) when people decided - usually to save hard drive space - to remove their original files and then replace with others of their MEMBER.

  • How can I add music to my library iCloud music which was not purchased on itunes?

    My family have a shared iTunes library on an iMac which consists of songs taken from disks and purchased songs on several iTunes accounts. We have to take all the music that we love him and place it on our separate devices. Recently, we have subscribed to a family membership of apple's music. I would like to know how I can take a few pieces of our iTunes library and put them in my music library iCloud, as well as Apple's music recorded music, and then share my library of music iCloud for iphone and ipad. I don't want music saved on my iPad air (as it's only 16 GB), as in the cloud to listen only to the wifi and I want to download on my iPhone 5 s (32 GB). Both devices are running the latest OS. Any help and advice would be great.

    To share your music you have not bought on iTunes to iCloud and other devices, you must have a subscription to Match iTunes (I think they call now iCloud music library).

  • Cannot be deactivated iCloud music library

    As the title says, I want to disable iCloud library iTunes music on my PC, but cannot do so.  I have absolutely no interest in using iCloud library and I'm sick of it telling me that my session has expired and asking me to connect whenever I run iTunes.

    After a decent chunk of time trying to understand what point, I found a lot of posts in line to turn it off I just have to go in the General preferences and uncheck the option that is just below "See Apple Music."  The problem is that I don't have this option.  Its literally not there.

    I guess that what has happened is that all of these messages refer to older versions of iTunes and everything what reason, this option has been removed in the subsequent updates.  If this is the case, please tell me that there is another way to disable iCloud music library.

    So I just kept going in the rabbit hole of apple support pages and eventually find the solution.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/message/29278770#29278770

    I forgot to mention, but I've never used iCloud music library or Apple's music, so I could not understand why he said my "session expired" when I never started a session at first.  And maybe that's why the option turn off never showed up in my preferences.

    The fact that the solution was simply to signout, restart iTunes and then reconnect you makes me think it must be a bug.  And because of the ridiculous difficulty, I had to find a solution its a particularly frustrating bug.

    I hope that this issue helps someone else who takes care of this *.

  • iCloud music library does not work on my new iPhone

    Hello

    iCloud music library has worked between my Mac, iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. However, it does not work on my new iPhone 7.

    When I try turn it off and on again, I do not get the merge or replace guest library that every site seems to say that I see. When I turn it on and open the music, I don't see any of the artists or songs or playlists that I added on my other devices. Occasionally (maybe 5 times), several full minutes after activating the iCloud music library, I get the error "iCloud music library can be activated. I tried using different wifi, using LTE networks and to connect it to my Mac. I tried to reboot the device when enabling/disabling iCloud music library. I also tried to use file > library > update to iCloud music library iTunes. I've been at this for about 4 hours now and am about to start rider on my hair. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Why are my ineligible tracks for iCloud music library?

    Recently, I turned on the Apple music on my Mac and turned on iCloud music library. Most of my songs have been downloaded without problem, but there were some, including some of my favorite pieces, which is apparently not eligible for the cloud.

    These songs are songs that I bought years ago while they are protected AAC audio files and I bought the on another Apple ID as I used to share one with a family member before me to be my own. However, my laptop is allowed to play the songs of this ID, and there were many other tracks protected in my library bought with other Apple ID, that have been matched / downloaded without any problem.

    In addition, all tracks are 128 Kbps, so that they are in the range of quality to download. None is more than 200 MB, so the file size is not the issue.

    All tracks are still currently available on the iTunes Store and Apple's music catalog.

    Is there another reason they might be inadmissible? And, if so, is there a way to solve this problem and download them to my music library to iCloud?

    Hello

    I own a small number of titles that I could not be upgraded. While some of the songs where still in the iTunes Store, they have been republished on / remastered versions of the same album.

    I suggest you burn these tracks on an audio cd and rerip them. You can get a match.

    I do not like to keep music on my phone, and after upgrading to iOS10 purchased music is now appear on my phone (not downloaded, but still plays automatically when connects to my car bluetooth... streaming again I guess my cellular data connection).

  • Final cut pro works only with iCloud music

    I have Final cut pro 10.2.3 sound only the trial version, I was about to buy it but I'm having an annoying problem may be due to the error of the user. When I download music on the cloud and try to put it on final cut the song appears but there no audio as if the song never had any audio recorded on it. If I double click on it before I drag it times the song, whats up is it me or final cut or a number?

    p.s. If I out of youtube mp3 download I can use but which is not ideal and songs I've owned before iCloud work very well.

    You have to specify what are the files "iCloud music."

    Apple's music is a streaming service that puts DRM on the files - you are not allowed to put in video editing applications & reuse them.

    iTunes also sells DRM-free files.

    Correspondence iTunes is DRM free, often called "iCloud Music Library"

    This can help you to use some of the nuances of the different services...

    http://www.IMore.com/icloud-music-library-ultimate-guide

    Frankly, it is a complex disorder but that's what the music companies seem to want to.

    Non - DRM files could be placed on video projects, however, you will still need to take into account that copyright applies to these files and you may need the permission of the holder of rights of content - depending on what you are doing.

  • disable the library access iCloud music on Apple TV 4

    So I brought a brand new apple TV (4th generation). And I'm a little disappointed by some of the limitation. Why can't disable the library iCloud music on my apple TV? I still care for my family to have access to iTunes radio. But my library of music iCloud is a little personal. I can easily disable library iCloud music of my other devices. But not Apple TV? Why? In order to prevent access to my music, I completely disconnect from iTunes. It's very embarrassing. Does perform a work around?

    You only need to log out once to turn it off, once you sign in you will need to then turn it back on so that it is visible.

  • Where are told that music downloaded to the library iCloud music would be automatically downloaded to my phone?

    Question: Where I missed the part that [all] the songs downloaded to the iCloud music library would be * automatically * downloaded on my phone?

    That is my question. Now, I would very very much like to get this off my chest. I'll be very disappointed if this post is deleted.

    Being an IBM/PC man all my life, I started with Apple with the iPhone 3 g several years ago. I loved. The thing I liked most about the 3GS, was the iOS at the time and the user interface of the 3GS. It was big, boxy buttons, and I loved. Then I upgraded my phone to a 4 s, and the user interface has been completed changed. Everything was flat, blah buttons that does not really appeal to me anywhere near 3 g. But I had my reasons to go with the iPhone, so I stuck with them. I updated my iOS and phones to the course of the years, upgraded to a 5 s, which I thought was physically in shape and size perfectly and is currently using a 6 s iPhone and an iPad 2 Air. I love them both.

    Apple music allows you to use a "iCloud music library" which allows you to listen to all your music on any of your devices anywhere, anytime. I put actually using the musical library to iCloud for many, many months, because I was afraid that'd pass on my data plan, if I decided to use it. Then I subscribed only to Apple music, never using the part of the IML. But the other day I realized that I didn't have my collection of personal music on my phone in my pocket, and that's the reason why I try to get 64 GB iPhones, because my collection is about 40 GB, and what better way than to have your entire music collection in your Pocket? So last night, I put my music on my computer and added to iTunes. He wanted to download approximately 2200 songs from my collection of about 15,000. I didn't think it's a shame, it was better than having to download the 8 000 or 10,000, so I stayed voluntarily until at midnight to 05:00, which is when my satellite internet is free. I said, do it. Download the songs to the MDU. We're going to do. I stayed until 05:00 and had to suspend downloads iTunes, because it was not more free. So I woke up the next morning to find my phone was burst with emails and text messages from AT & T, update me on my use of the data, which passed and passed AGAIN in 5 minutes. Each ON costs me $15 on my next Bill, which is added as a "courtesy", lol. The point is, I put off using IML for several months because most of the time, I was worried to go over on my data. Last night I was fine using my internet satellite during free time, but then when I went to bed, music Apple decided to push all the songs that I downloaded, on my phone, my LTE since I had turned off the WiFi for the night. My phone has apparently downloaded 6.1 GB of music this morning, while I was asleep and oh so fast. Now I have about 1600 songs on my iPhone and must turn off practically all cell data for the next 2 weeks until what I reset. So, I ask again, where I missed the part that the personal tracks downloaded to MDU would be AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADED on my phone?

    Because I did not do for months because I was worried about going over on my data plan. Despite all my research and attempts to prevent this, I failed. And it cost me money. Sigh.

    I don't own an iPhone, I do not use music from Apple. However, I don't know that many people want things for them automatically and is technically challenged if they go and activate things like their music appearing magically in front of them.  So probably Apple has allowed many default things.  You must turn them off and change things such as what is done by service (dataplan vs wi - fi - I know that a lot of the iPhone of my wife looking over his shoulder).

  • How to add music to my library when icloud music is on

    Hello

    I could do something stupid, but I hope someone can explain this to me.

    Before the launch of Apple's music, I have my music the value Sync my iPhone to my music library via a playlist.

    When Apple launched music, I wanted to listen to some of the music in offline mode, so to do this she helped iCloud music library.

    The question I have is that I now want to change some of the music I have sync'd through the reading list which seems to be more accessible. The big problem is that music, I would add my library is not available on Apple music, so I can't just enter it on the Apple Store.

    I really want to have to rebuild my music library by disabling iCloud music to reset the music library, then re - download all the music I already have offline.

    I do something wrong or is this a quirk of how Apple music is configured, which means that it only what I want?

    Thanks in advance

    Vel

    If you have activated the iCloud music library with Apple music so all your music in iTunes should be available from your iPhone. iCloud music library will scan your library and correspond to all the songs that he can and that will be available on other devices. In addition all securities that are not available in the iTunes Store will be downloaded on Apple servers.

    Once this process is complete, your entire music collection will be available to stream on your iPhone. If you want some music downloaded for listening offline, then you can create a playlist and add all these titles in the playlist "offline." Once the new playlist appears on your iPhone just select "make available offline" and it will download all of the music on the phone.
