    the Siri watch face will suggest music and when I tap it I get an option to play on iPhone. Every time I do that it says there was a problem.

    Issue adding music to iMovie project

    I’m creating a slideshow in iMovie and I’m trying to add some recently purchased music. However, when I look for the music in iMovie’s “audio” section, the new music isn’t there. I realized I haven’t opened the Music app since purchasing it, so I did and the recent purchases downloaded...

    I tried copying over my Windows iTunes library, and opening the .itl library file with the "Choose Library..." feature when option-clicking the Music.app, but it doesn't accept it as a valid library. Has anyone figured out how to import a Windows Library into Music?

    iPhone AirPlay fails on iOS/iPadOS, works flawlessly on MacOS. Ideas?

    I have the latest gen Airport Express plugged into powered speakers. My MacBook Air is able to send audio to those speakers without ever failing to connect. 100% success rate. On iOS/iPadOS, however, it has a mind of its own and connects when it wants to. Fails many, many times. Often I have to...

    I want to do a clean install of Catalina and then pull my user data in from my backup drive. My only concern is for my legacy iTunes library.

    Music App won't play music

    For some reason the music app won't let me play music I bought unless I hit the next button. Happens on the Metallica Hardwired deluxe album. If I select any of the first 6 songs it will play it, but if I want to play a song that is from disc 2 or the bonus disc nothing will happen. Lets say...

    Memory footprint of new Catalina media apps?

    Anyone know the average memory footprint for the new Music, Podcasts, and TV apps? (I say 'average' because there's variability in the footprint over time. Upon first launch, it's always at a low amount, but that changes over time.)

    Does anyone use the app On Song

    Not sure if this was the right place to post this. I have been looking at the app On Song that runs on iPad/iPhone. to transfer my paper guitar music to digital. Most reviews I have read are positive but there are about 10% 1 star reviews that hate it. Looking for some real world opinions.

    I have an iPhone Xs Max and was playing one of my songs that I transferred over to the phone storage via iTunes. I was able to see the name of the song and length on the iPhone, but there isn't any menu option for "info" etc. Something that shows ID3 tag info, bitrate, etc. Often I like to...
