More iOS 10 woes: Some users can’t sync music between devices

from thenextweb.com

This morning has basically been a disaster for Apple. First its highly-anticipated roll-out of iOS 10 welcomed users with a bricked device. Now, following the release of iOS 12.5.1, users report they can no longer connect to iCloud Music Library — the lynchpin required to sync music across supported devices.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or Windows (and Linux) PC users are all susceptible to whatever is causing the issue and many are finding their content inaccessible while the service is down.

When attempting to access the feature after today’s update, users are met with the following error message. After clicking ‘OK’ the message disappears, only to reappear seconds later.

We’ve reached out to Apple for comment and we’ll update if necessary.

Warning: iOS 10 is reportedly screwing up people’s phones

After releasing iOS 10 earlier today, some users are reporting ‘bricked’ devices after attempting to update to the new operating system. Most of the issues seem to come from over-the-air (OTA) updates, meaning a device that attempts to download and install the update without plugging it in — something Apple used to require.

The issues seem fairly widespread. The OTA update begins and leaves users staring at a ‘Connect to iTunes’ screen that forces a complete firmware re-install. If you forego the wiping and re-installation of iOS from your iPhone or iPad, you’re left with a bricked and completely useless device.

Not all users are having the issue though. I updated from the last beta version of iOS 10 to the launch version this morning without incident.

A Twitter search for iOS 10-related keywords show the problem could be affecting a significant portion of those upgrading. In fact, nearly all of the iOS 10-related update problems appear to be the same issue, a bricked device after a prompt to connect to iTunes.

For what it’s worth, Apple claims the problem has since been fixed, according to a 9to5 Mac tweet.

Users, however, are still reporting the problem, so maybe Apple isn’t quite done remedying the issue just yet. Still, if you absolutely have to have iOS 10 today, it’s never a bad idea to do a fresh backup before you make the upgrade.
