Getting Started With Apple Music and Beats 1 on iOS, Mac and PC

[xmichaelp]

Looks like this is linking to the new iTunes for Windows (from what I can tell... it has the new logo)

http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/

Edit: Just checked. Still downloading 12.1.2 despite the updated page. :-(

Side note... I can only imagine how much people are going to complain about this logo:

I love that logo. MUCH better than the rainbow one that was on the Apple website. This one actually matches the iOS ones.

Where is the 80s station? Something similar to spotify or pandora s 80s station?

So I went to upgrade my itunes, and I upgraded to 12.1.2.

I clicked on the "Try now" link and iTunes is telling me that I need version 12.2 to use it.

But when I try to upgrade I'm told that 12.1.2 is the latest version.

Is it because of my operating system? I'm running OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. Don't see why this is a problem...

You gotta wait. Its iTunes 12.2 You need not 12.1.2.

Jesus, What an epic fail. I wasn't expecting much after iTunes Match which also is a mess. But this...

And I am an apple fanboy... Really...

Songs just mysteriously disappeared from the cloud, disappeared from match, from my phone and my laptop. And since I am abroad and pay quite a hefty price for roaming it is not easily fixed. But I have apple music now, but I can click an album a hundred times and it will say 'added to your music, but nada. It adds two songs, or nothing. Apple and Internet services. I don't know about this eddy cue.
Have you ever tried 'quickly' downloading a movie for a trip? Even BitTorrent does it 200 times faster...
I had hopes because the Beats team was taking over. But no luck.

And people can say the servers are being hammered. But this is in the first hour where not many people had 8.4 running. If they can't deal with this load we are gonna have a laugh when it's weekend and iTunes 12.2 is out.

Amateurs. First of all. Please give me my iTunes Match music back!

Where's Scott Forstall when you need him?

 

[mariusignorello]

I don't know if this has been said yet, but...

Developers can partially use Apple Music on iOS 9 beta 2 by initially using the service on iOS 8.4 on another device. If you add a song/album to My Music it will appear and play on a beta device.

Ah weird, its not showing up anymore in Safari,

Same here

Weird, I had to quit and reopen Safari. It wouldn't even appear in Private Window

 

[Lost Hills]

A word from Apple would be nice I would think.

I think I figured out why... at least for me. I'm signed in and so in it's place, I see "Welcome Mike". When I opened a separate browser (Chrome, in my case), I see the 12.2 is coming soon message:

Another issue, when beats 1 chang songs, the heart is already filled as if I liked the song even if I didn't.

 

[cocky jeremy]

So, where is iTunes 12.2 that's required to use Apple Music?

Nothing here still. Hmmm.

 

[tmanto02]

So excited for Apple Music! I think I'm going to sacrifice my jailbreak and update tonight

I'm not a jailbreaker myself but I read that it 8.4 was already jailbroken: http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/30/ios-8-4-jailbreak/

How do you tell a radio station to NOT play an artist or a song? Sometimes I get a heart that I can click to tell it to play more/play less and other times I just get the heart with no options.

 

[Trik]

Another issue, when beats 1 chang songs, the heart is already filled as if I liked the song even if I didn't.

Yeah, I see that as well. I am wondering if I "liked" the Beats1 radio station or if I "liked" a song.... I want to like the song of course.

 

[mr.bee]

itunes 12.2 is here showed up in my app store

 

[HyperliteG4]

It's out!

 

[Lost Hills]

Confirmed

 

[sarcosis]

Yikes the update is slow! Updating through the App Store is going at a snails pace on OS X. Still no Windows update yet either...

 

[jayducharme]

Same thing happened to me. Update VIA Mac

Tried that. I'm one of Apple's Beta testers, and iTunes tells me I've already updated to 8.4 (even though it's just the Beta version). I'm pretty sure the problem is that I have the Beta. My wife's iPhone and iPad updated without issue. I assume a fix will be along in the next few days.
