Solutions to Apple Music Song Not Available in Your Country or Region


"I just bought a new iPhone. My music is not working. I keep getting a message that the song is not currently available in my country or region. Has anyone else experienced this?"

If some songs in your Apple Music are grayed out, when you tap to play it, you got "This song is not currently available in your country or region." This happens occasional and is causedby several reasons:

  1. Artists and content providers may release some, but not all, songs from an album in advance. If you add an entire album to your library, these songs will become available after they are released.
  2. Artists and content providers might change or remove music from the Apple Music catalog. Search Apple Music to see if that song is available under a different name or file. If it is, add the song to your library so it's no longer grayed out.
  3. The song might not be available in your country or region and will appear in gray text when you search for it in Apple Music.
  4. If an explicit song is grayed out, you might have restrictions turned on for your device. You can use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or Screen Time on your Mac to turn off restrictions. You can also add the clean version from Apple Music to your library.

If you really like these songs, the only way is to get them from other sources, like purchasing a CD. However, here we will show you a way to keep the songs forever, even when they become unavailable in Apple Music.
