Resource Unavailable (2024)

FAQs

How do I fix resource unavailable? ›

What Is the Apple Music Resource Unavailable Error. The Resource Unavailable Error in Apple Music is something that we faced while playing certain songs only, and we suspect that the app is having some trouble fetching data from the server.

Your device may fail to fetch content from Apple Music's servers if your network connection is slow or unstable. Reboot your router, update its firmware, or switch to cellular data if the “resource available” error occurs on a Wi-Fi connection.

The first thing to try is a restart. To do this, simply close the app, and then relaunch it. This will usually fix the issue, but if it doesn't, your next step is going to be in settings. Disable, then enable, Apple Music in the settings menu, and that will usually work as well.

A 503 Service Unavailable Error is an HTTP response status code indicating that a server is temporarily unable to handle the request. This may be due to an overloaded server or a server that's down for maintenance.

When this happens, in most cases, the problem is caused by a faulty internet connection or Apple Music's servers. You can use some websites to check your internet speed, and if it's slow, it's best to wait for a good internet connection and let Apple Music load correctly.

Restart the Apple Music app

On an iPhone or iPad with a home button, just double-click the button. Once you've reached this screen, swipe up on any app you want to force close — like Apple Music. Restarting your device will also do the trick.

Make sure that all of your devices have Sync Library turned on and are signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with Apple Music. If your music library is stored on your computer, check the cloud status of songs to find missing music and resolve issues.

Why is my music not playing? ›

Check Internet Connection. Music streaming apps require a stable and strong internet connection to effectively stream music tracks. If there is an issue with your internet connection, music will keep buffering, pausing, or even not playing when you are trying to play it.

Some songs just aren't available in certain regions of the world. That availability is decided by whoever owns the copyright to the song (usually the label that produced the album), and this availability can change over time. Well, you have to check the regional availability for the song.

A common cause of these errors is the file or folder permission settings, which control who can read, write, and execute the file or folder. There are two possibilities in this case: either the website owner edited the settings so that you couldn't access the resources, or they didn't set the correct permissions.

"Resource temporarily unavailable" is the error message corresponding to EAGAIN , which means that the operation would have blocked but nonblocking operation was requested. For send() , that could be due to any of: explicitly marking the file descriptor as nonblocking with fcntl() ; or.

The first and foremost thing you need to do is restart Apple Music on your device, which should fix it immediately. Alternatively, you can restart your iPhone or update your device and the Apple Music app to its latest version. If you're an Android device, try logging out and logging in back with your Apple ID.

Reset Network Settings

If Apple Music still doesn't download your songs, it's time to perform a network settings reset. Android devices have the option to do this listed in differing locations, but opening the Settings app, and then typing in 'reset' into the search bar will often reveal the option straightaway.
