Apple Music issues after iOS 18 Update

Did I mention the password problem? I thought it was a one off that my phone had forgotten some (but not all) of my passwords, but today it had forgotten a couple I had had to remind it about previously which it had remembered for a week or so, but it has now forgotten again. I’m not always at home near my laptop, where I can find them on Chrome, it’s starting to get annoying now 🤬

iTunes Music from iPhone15 Audio Quality using CarPlay is significantly decreased after v18 Upgrade. Called Apple Tech support up 4 levels for help. Could not fix problem. Did Apple make a business decision to compromise quality of CarPlay Audio and AirPlay Album Artwork to open bandwidth capacity and move it to other products?

It deleted every single song I had downloaded that’s 3 years worth, and when I try to redownload the playlists it says song is not available in my region like 8+ times and it won’t let me download it. Everything’s being really slow, and my phone keeps freezing really bad and I have the iPhone 13.

This is a little late, but ever since the ios 18 update, my music libraries on my iphone and ipad pro have been totally screwed up. Almost every song was duplicated. If this wasn't bad enough, it removed a bunch of songs from the albums. However, the main library on the Mac M1 is fine.

I have resynced my iphone and ipad pro to my Mac and it has only made it worse. Now I have duplicate songs again and it has separated songs out of albums and made numerous albums that all of the songs for, should be under one album.

Keep in mind, I have about 1300 albums on my iMac. I have been trying to fix this for weeks. I do not subscribe to Apple Music, but I do have the Apple Music Sharing subscription or whatever it is that adds everything automatically to each device. No matter what settings I apply under Finder or in sync settings in itunes will remedy this.

The last thing that I want to do is delete my entire library on my Mac and reburn every CD individually. This isn't the first time this has happened. Some years ago under ios 14 or so the same thing happened.

Apple is turning into Win(blows).

Song audio quality significantly inferior after iOS v 18 upgrade. The sound via CarPlay, is like listening to song on a digital radio station when you are not yet set on the exact channel. Very upsetting and unacceptable because prior to iOS v18, audio via CarPlay was excellent.

Running 18.1 and it's been happening since 18. Glad it's not only me. Apple Music plays for a few seconds then stops. Repeatedly. Sometimes it'll play fine, but other times, it's useless. I notice that it also happens when I have my AirPod Pro 2 in. Not sure if it's happening anyway, but it's getting to be not much fun listening to ANYTHING because of the constant freezing and interruptions.

Its terrible. Now it orders The albums by year…. But only Give you The option of going through the most recent one to the oldest one, destroying the “reading” order and the flow of evolution in The artist career.

Forgive me if you have already tried this.

You'll notice in itunes in the upper righthand corner there is the little magnifying glass and just to the left of it is a little down arrow and three horizontal lines.

Go over to the left side and under library highlight your albums. Then go back to the little down arrow in the upper righthand side and click down to the "Sort Options" and click on it. It will give you other options to sort your albums.

If it's not there for you, then it's another one of the inconsistent bugs that affects different users in different ways.

I may completely be misunderstanding you though.

Cheers!

In my case it’s the Home Sharing. I used to see Home Sharing in the menu now I have to click the 3buttons in the upper right corner to select my iTunes library. However, after I select my music library, the button only becomes shaded.

Luckily I never update all my devices at once. My Home Sharing works fine on my iOS 17 devices

I also had this issue since I have had it but it seems to be getting better.

Apple Music also won't stream for me on cellular data. It will play about a dozen songs and then stop and go back to the original song. It works fine on wifi but terribly on cellular data

iOS 18 upgrade music search screen freezes on iPad. I would type what I'm looking for results would shows but then the screen would freeze. Tech. support could not help.

Songs in my Apple Music playlists repeat even though they appear once. Selecting next song moves on.

I have similar problem witch my iPhone 13, tidal and usb DAC - audio is low quality and it’s not my feeling but I see it on led indicator on DAC
