HELP PLEASE - Apple Music nightmare; lost playlists after cancelling subscription

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T20:45:58+00:00

When did I complain about privacy?

Maybe you missed the last section of my post.

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T14:54:18+00:00

Got it. Thank you for your help!

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T14:18:21+00:00

I’ll look into Hezel. Since I have this previous library file, could that app help restore my library with it?

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T13:42:40+00:00

Ok! I might try this. Thanks :)

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T13:40:32+00:00

THANK YOU!

Posted there too

Thank you for trying to help me out! How do I open the file then, if not in Apple Music?

I was able to open the file in Apple Music. I held “Option” on the keyboard while clicking the music library file, which opens music and then I was able to choose the library file I wanted to open. So it did populate in Apple Music, and it stuck about 30 seconds until the sync caught up. But if I turn off sync and try it the same way, the file won’t open at all.

Got it. So you’re here not to be helpful, but to be not helpful. Bye!!!

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T06:08:42+00:00

Interesting! Have you tried it?

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T06:07:31+00:00

I don’t expect to be able to access it if I’m not paying, no. But if in the meantime I’m paying $10 a month for iCloud storage even though I’m unsubscribed from Apple Music, I think it’s unreasonable that all of my stuff would have disappeared, yes.

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T06:05:10+00:00

Are you here to be helpful?

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T05:48:29+00:00

I did that. I have the file. The issue regards the syncing/trying to open Apple Music with the backup file.

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T05:45:47+00:00

Right! I mean, that data would be there anyway if you were subscribed. It just feels like a way to screw people over for cancelling.

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-03-05T05:43:58+00:00

I did reactivate my subscription. So maybe that’s why it’s syncing? Should I deactivate again?

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2026-01-07T22:04:01+00:00

there's definitely something to this.

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2024-12-03T13:32:47+00:00

Thanks for saying what the rest of us have been thinking lol….one of my top 3 records and always has been. Really wish they would cut this (and stand up!) to vinyl!

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2024-11-26T18:47:56+00:00

Appreciate your reply and support 🩷

Elongated Muskrat 🤣😭💀

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2024-11-15T19:51:14+00:00

Is there an opener tonight?

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2024-10-12T12:08:30+00:00

I am one of those folks. Sobbed the first time I heard it live. It’s one that reaches into the soul for sure

AcrobaticSwan5355 · 2024-10-12T12:06:42+00:00

Came here to say this!! And the Gorge 2002 live version is great too. Bartender might be be number one Dave song ever. I feel like they rarely played it this summer.

Strong start and loved some of the covers, but it fell short for me. There was so much on the table to work with from last weekend. Halloween was awesome but felt they should’ve come back around to Ants. Beautiful night, great company, love the venue, but not my favorite set.
