If you just updated to iOS 8.4 and Apple Music and are now getting an error stating "Cloud Music Library can't be enabled", you're not alone. I got it too, and here's how I fixed it... at least for now!
My guess is that Apple servers are being slammed and iTunes is getting some occasional errors. So, patience and persistence wins out. Here's what I did and how I got iCloud Music Library to work.
Note: iCloud Music Library seems to be the new name for iTunes Match and/or similar features contained as part of Apple Music.
How to enable iCloud Music Library on your iPhone and iPad
- Launch Settings from the Home screen.
- Tap Music (note, the icon has changed colors).
- Toggle iCloud Music Library to On.
- Choose if you want to Replace or Merge your library. (I ultimately chose Merge when it worked).
- If you get the error again, dismiss it.
- Repeat steps 3-4 until it works.
Seriously. That's what I did. You may have to wait a while and repeat, in case the servers are really getting slammed.
Let me know if it works for you!
