    Does apple music show what I'm playing on the mac?

    Just tried Music on the phone doesn't seem to show what's playing on the mac, unlike spotify. I find it useful when I want to know what's playing and I don't want to reach out to the mac, since I have the phone on hand. Or is there something that I'm missing?

    Error When Attempting to Open a Song Found with Shazam That Apple Doesn’t Have

    When I use the new Shazam control in Control Center, and it recognizes a song that Apple Music doesn’t have, I get a Apple Music page saying “You’re already an Apple Music member.” This seems to be a bug, as I imagine I should get a page telling me that the track isn’t offered.

    I recently posted this query on the official Apple forums but it got removed. I don’t know why but it’s in their Terms and Services that they can remove any post. Maybe someone can help? I queried: why in the age of 5G, increased storage space and unlimited data do the songs on Apple Music...

    Why does iTunes briefly show an empty popup window when accessing online features, only on one of my computers?

    When I choose any online part of iTunes a window pops up for a second or two, is blank apart from an indeterminate-style spinner, and goes away after a second or two. - This happens on my Mac mini (2018), but not my MBP (early-2013) - Mac mini is 3X or 4X faster than the MBP - Mac mini was a...
