parkinglot Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Turn off icloud on your phone. Plug it into the computer. Drag and drop songs to your phone. Turn icloud back on. Your apple music will show up after that in a bit. Takes a while to reload.Cool, thanks. But this can't possibly be the only way to add songs to your iPod from iTunes now? Update: I can drag songs onto my iPhone but they're not syncing to it. UGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your apple music will show up after that in a bit. Takes a while to reload. And the additional problem is, that when you delete songs from the iPhone this way, they will be re-loaded from your iCloud library and you have to delete them manuelly from the device.

mappingtheyears Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Fuck, I changed my Apple ID password and when I logged back into iTunes all the music I had saved was gone. I spent so long going through it all, too. I want to love Apple Music but they're making it hard for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Bumping this thread because it's the latest Apple thread I could find. iOS 10 came out today and the over-the-air update is causing a ton of devices to go into recovery mode, requiring it to be plugged into a PC/Mac with iTunes to be fixed. It just happened to my 6S and now I'm stuck without a phone until I get home in a couple hours. Just a heads up to NOT update over-the-air and update to iOS 10 via iTunes to avoid issues.

daegor Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Just never update over the air, for anything, ever. Way too many opportunities for something to fuck up. If you data drops at the wrong time you could easily brick a device. That's not an apple thing, that's just a tech thing. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Been running the ios 10 beta for a while now and it's grown on me. Not crazy about the music app. Font is too big and I don't like how everything seems to take an extra tap to do. I like to open the music app right to the artists page. Plus it's irking me that 90% of the artists are missing pictures and it doesn't even auto-fill with album artwork. I've been using Cesium a lot in place of the apple music stock app. Basically looks like ios 9 music app, but you can customize tabs and organize better. Anyone else using 3rd party apps for music?

futures Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm holding out on the update strictly bc of the music app. It's soooo ugly in ios10 =\ I've never considered a 3rd party music app. I'll look into Cesium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I updated over-the-air yesterday, I'm glad nothing went wrong. Now I'm just patiently waiting for my friends to update so I can send them Mario stickers and texts with obnoxious effects. The new sleep alarm is cool, and I'm glad you can finally delete Apple apps, but other than Messages iOS 10 feels pretty incremental. I kind of like the new design of the Music app, but I don't keep any music on my phone so it means nothing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Lots of small updates to many aspects of the functionality and GUI. Not hugely noticeable at first, but overall I'm really digging this update, I wasn't a huge fan of the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 My phones messed up the first time OTA, I couldn't get iTunes to work to download it, so I did OTA again and it worked. Thought I got a messed up version because I couldn't do some of the new messages features, turns out I had motion off the whole time... whoops. Overall, I like the update. I wasn't sure how I'd feel, but it's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Apple devices fully download the update file (hence needing X amount of free space), then verify that it is not corrupt, and then install. Your data dropping out would just hinder your download process. This issue was unrelated to the connection and was just some other glitch with their system that unfortunately caused plenty of headache for lots of people.

You'd think (and hope), but I wonder given the hugely increased issues from people who used OTA versus those that didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One major issue I have had with it for years is the fact itunes truly is not drag and drop - that's on Android phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Only thing that's bugging me with iOS 10 is the music library in CarPlay. No matter what, it shows my entire library and not just what I have downloaded on my phone, like it used to. Hope it's just a bug that will be fixed soon.

HybridxReality Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Cesium's What's New descriptions are great. I'm also very much dislike using the stock Music app now because of the redesign. Only $0.99 so I'll give it a shot. Edit: Celsium is a bit buggy. It looks good, but I find the stock Music app reliable. Edited October 9, 2016 by HybridxReality Added info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtobi-wanx Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I need some user experiences on Apple Music: A year ago I did the trial period and noticed a lot of problems with the iCloud library (wrong tags, wrong covers, messed up albums etc.). Furthermore, dragging songs from my Mac onto the iPhone didn't work anymore without disabling the iCloud library everytime. For some reasons, I'm back at Apple Music as part of a familiy subscription. Can anyone give some recent experiences: Is it save to enable the iCloud library now? ( tagged my library thoughfully and thoroughly and I don't want this to be messed up...) Did they fix the issues with overwriting tag/covers etc. wrongly? How does copying music from the Mac onto an iPhone work nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm assuming here PC is the same as Mac. I recently started using it after my less-than-legal sources dried up. I initially had a major issue importing my library, but my library is over 200gb, and the actually iTunes Library file would have been in existence for ten years or so. In retrospect I'm not surprised there were issues, it basically randomly made tracks disappear (luckily only from my library, and not from my computer). Make a backup of your files, be prepared to nuke and pave your iTunes library if it misbehaves. After that things have been fine, I've had the odd file that has trouble being added to the cloud, but usually I can just remove it from the library and readd it and it's fine. The odd cover that's incorrect. But those issues are few and far between. No issues overwriting tags. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of how things are organized. The process of having a song on your computer, uploading it to the cloud, downloading it on to your phone, removing it from your phone and NOT the cloud/library, it's all a little clunky. However, in the end I find there are more pros then cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this change nothing? I nuke the library, add the same files (i.e. build the more or less same library) and re-add it to the cloud. Why should the matching algorithm behave differently?

I'm assuming it was an issue with the iTunes library file itself not with the individual songs. Each iTunes library has a file with some organizational info and preferences in it, I'm assuming mine had been corrupted over time (or simply out of date since I had created it so long ago).

My library is about the same size and I spend hours adding the correct tags and covers. However, I chose to manage the files and folders myself. Therefore, I assume there's not much additional Information in the library itself. Maybe I just need to take this leap of faith. If worst comes to worst, I have to nuke the library and disable the iCloud function again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure whether or not that'll make a difference, but yeah, there isn't really a way of knowing ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you might be one of the unfortunate souls who lost a lot of your library to the Apple Music cloud during your trial period.
