Music App - Search error: "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Hello, I'm having a problem with the Apple Music app search function.


Inputting any search terms and pressing return consistently leads to the message: "Something went wrong. Please try again later":



As a workaround, I'm able to open a song, artist, or album page when its preview appears under the search bar:



However, certain artists and tracks don't appear as previews (even when I've confirmed their availability by searching them on Apple Music on a browser). As a result, they are impossible to access from the app.



I've already tried to sign out and sign back in to my account, as well as restarting the machine entirely, to no avail. Running Sonoma 14.6 on a 2021 Apple M1 Pro.


Is this a known issue, and does anyone have suggestions to resolve this issue?


Thank you



MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.6

I am also having this issue. Just wanted to let anyone else affected that I have reported this issue up to Level 3 support at Apple and they're handing it off to the development team.


It does not appear to be account related as we did some testing, including using a fresh account on the same machine with the same issue. Appears to be specific to that version of Apple Music or MacOS. This is occurring for me on OS 14.7.

This may well have been a server-side issue. The issue appears to be resolved as of October 26.


I can perform multiple keyword searches now without problems in Apple Music on Sonoma 14.7.

The MacRumors forum on which Apple Music issues are collectively gathered and reported also mentioned that this is not an issue for them, so I suspect it has been fixed on the Apple server side.


Thanks to everyone who reported this!

For critical bugs and major security issues, I believe Apple does issue notices from time to time that they will be dealing with the problem in an upcoming update.


For issues like this, I agree – we probably won’t see anything from Apple until the next Sonoma update, whenever that will be. As you mentioned, it isn’t a showstopper, but it does severely limit the search functionality, so my bet is that it’s something that they can fix rather easily and will do so in due course.
