Check your internet connection

If you’re having trouble downloading songs from Apple Music, make sure that you have a stable internet connection. If you’re on a cellular data plan, make sure that cellular data is turned on for Apple Music in your device’s Settings app.

Check if there is an update available for your iPhone

One of the first things you should do when you encounter this problem is to check if there is an update available for your iPhone. To do this, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. If there is an update available, download and install it. This might fix the problem.

Check if there is an update available for the Apple Music app

If you’re having trouble downloading songs from Apple Music, make sure you have the latest version of the Apple Music app. To check for updates, open the App Store on your device, then tap Today at the bottom of the screen. Tap your profile icon, then tap Updates. If there’s an Apple Music update available, tap Update.

Check if you have enough storage space on your iPhone

Before taking any further steps, make sure that you have enough storage space on your iPhone to accommodate the songs you’re trying to download. If your device is low on storage, it could be the reason why your downloads are taking a long time or not completing. To check how much storage you have available, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. If you see that your device is “Low on Storage,” free up some space by deleting unnecessary files and apps. Once you’ve done that, try downloading your songs again.

Check if you have the latest version of iOS

If you’re using an iPhone, make sure you have the latest version of iOS. To do this, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If there’s a new version of iOS available, follow the onscreen instructions to install it.

Check if you have the latest version of the Apple Music app

Make sure that you have the latest version of the Apple Music app. To do this, open the App Store, tap Updates, and tap UPDATE next to Apple Music.

If you can’t update or install Apple Music from the App Store, make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. To do this, go to Settings > General > Software Update.

Check if you have an active Apple Music subscription

If you’re using Apple Music, you need to have an active subscription in order to download songs. You can check if you have an active subscription by opening the Music app on your iPhone and tapping the “For You” tab. If you see a message that says “Apple Music Subscription Required,” then you do not have an active subscription.

Check if you’re signed in to the Apple Music app with the correct Apple ID

If you’re not signed in to the Apple Music app, open it and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription. If you see a message that says “Account Not Available” or “This device can no longer be used for purchases,” your subscription has been canceled.

If you see an error message that says ‘ Songs can’t be downloaded at this time,’ try these steps:

-Connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi or cellular data.
-Tap the Library tab, then tap Recently Added.
-Find the song that you want to download, thentap it.

Check if the song is available in your country or region

Check if the song is DRM-protected

If you’re trying to download a song from Apple Music and it’s not working, there could be a few reasons why. One thing to check is whether or not the song is DRM-protected.

If a song is DRM-protected, it means that it can only be played on authorized devices that are associated with your Apple ID. You might not be able to download a DRM-protected song if you’re not logged in to the correct Apple ID, or if the song is no longer available for purchase.
