    Apple Music Migrating to a new computer

    Apologies, I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I can't find a thread that matches my case much. So, I am an Apple Music subscriber, iTunes user from the first version, and someone who has transitioned from having one personal Mac to having several older Macs. I had one designated...

    Screensaver setting doesn't work

    tvOS has this screensaver setting: Problem is, it never works. It didn't work in my Apple TV 4K 2021, and it doesn't work in the 2022 (yes, I'm one of the suckers who bought the 2022 version that had barely anything new compared to the 2021, not even a decent DAC to output 96 Khz audio)...

    download old iCloud music library

    Hey all, Back in the day, before Apple Music, before the Music app, I used iTunes and subscribed to iTunes Match; I had my own bought (and ripped from CD) music library uploaded to the cloud this way. I then kept my music library locally, and backed up via time machine. Many eons and computers...

    CarPlay Issues with CarPlay disconnecting iPhone while playing music and driving

    I’m currently driving a year old Nissan with CarPlay and plugging in (not even relying on Bluetooth) my iPhone 13PM into it and for two or three years maybe, it plays like clockwork.

    Apple Music Music forgets tracks are local

    I am subscribed to the Apple One Family plan including Apple Music, which includes Match. I have a lifetime of building my library with close to 60000 tracks.

    Music app not copying all files from playlist to USB stick

    I have a playlist with 1000 songs that I want to copy to a USB stick for the truck. In the music app I go to my playlist and select all of the songs. Every time I drag them to the USB stick in Finder it copies only 654 over. After determining some of the missing songs, I've noticed that I can...

    iPod Classic no longer syncs with Ventura 13.2?

    I have just spent two full days and several calls to Apple support trying to figure out why my beloved iPod Classics suddenly stopped syncing with the Music app as well as iTunes (via Retroactive 2.0). After a lot of testing, it appears that everything works fine on 13.1 but not on 13.2. I would...

    Upgrading from Mojave to Monterey - how to handle Music?

    I have a Mac Studio with Monterey that is taking the place of a 2018 Mac Mini on Mojave.

    Music.app autoplay - any way to disable?

    I HATE the autoplay function in the Music app. Don't remember when it first appeared, but it has a tendency to just fill up with stuff I never wanted to play that I then have to manually go clear out. Is there any way to just disable it completely??? (Yes, I know that it is red in this...

    I have a bunch of playlists along with my music library on the computer.
