Songs not authorized that have been purchased.

I have iTunes Match and have been having issues with my iPhone saying certain songs are not authorized. I have restarted my phone and that didn't solve the problem. The same songs play fine in my iPad and on my Mac Studio. Is there another solution other than signing out of iCloud account and signing in again. That's is such a pain to have to re-enter all of the credit card information.

Hey flying horse,


You can try toggling Sync Library under Settings > Music off, wait a few minutes and toggle it back on again.


This doesn't fully sign you out of iCloud, but it will remove and then reload any music on your iPhone that's being synced from your iTunes Match service.


See more info in the article below. Note while it specializes in Apple Music, the information is the same for iTunes Match.


Cheers!
