Another way is to reenabling your Apple Music app. Instead of reinstalling the app, just like any other, you can simply disable and reenable it. However, reenabling will not delete any information on your Apple Music.

  • Look for Show Apple Music. Toggle it to Disable.
  • Wait for at least 30 seconds and toggle it back to Enable.
  • Now, launch your Apple Music and check if the error exists.

Solution #3 – Make Sure Apple Music is Not Blocked

Your router may be the reason why you are encountering the error. Your router configurations may not allow Apple Music due to controlled data usage. Check your router’s configurations and make sure it allows Apple Music to stream songs.

In some cases, mobile data may also hinder the music streaming in Apple Music. Check if you have enabled your mobile data to connect your Apple Music properly. Also, make sure that you have enough data to stream from your Apple Music.
