Apple Music experiencing issues for subscribers across the globe

3D Touch Beats 1

If you’re having issues getting started with Apple Music this morning, you’re not alone. The iOS app started the day by asking subscribers to sign up and join Apple Music (a force quit fixed for me but the problem persists) and iTunes on the Mac is also serving up error messages for a great number of users.

At the time of writing, Apple’s system status page hasn’t been updated to reflect any issues, but that using happens a bit after the problem is recognized if at all. We’ll keep an eye on the status and update accordingly, but ret assured that if you’re a subscriber being asked to join again that it’s not just you and there’s a widespread hiccup in progress.

@AppleMusicHelp Hi, Music on iOS 9.2 is telling me this when I try to play a song even though I pay$15/m http://pic.twitter.com/OAN5EMdtKy

@AppleMusicHelp disappointed. I've been on a trial for less than a week, but now it's asking me to sign up again. http://pic.twitter.com/PmZJxjU3x7

@AppleMusicHelp Is Apple Music having problems this morning? It won't play anything for me, and then it told me I needed to sign up
