One of the common messages you will see is a warning that “This requires iCloud Music Library” with an option to enable iCloud Music Library in the settings app.

How to Turn On iCloud Music Library on iOS 8.4
After upgrading to iOS 8.4 this morning and testing out Apple Music I kept running into the iCloud Music Library can’t be enabled error on my iPhone 6. This is also happening on the iPhone 6 Plus and on many other devices running iOS 8.4.
After several attempts I was able to fix the iCloud Music Library can’t be enabled problem, by simply trying again and again. This is likely a problem with Apple’s servers being under strain from users trying to install iOS 8.4 and to turn on iCloud Music Library to get the most out of the new Apple Music app.

If you already gave up, it is still a good idea to restart your iPhone or iPad. You don’t need to, but after this fast step I was able to get iCloud Music Library working in just two tries, after multiple previous fails.
- Go to Settings on the iPhone or iPad
- Tap on Music – Note that this is not in the iCloud Settings like you might expect.
- Turn iCloud Music Library On.
- Choose to Merge or Replace your music library. I had success using replace, others report success choosing merge, so this shouldn’t impact your choice.
- If it works you are done. If not keep trying to turn it on until it works. You may need to try 5-10 times before it finally takes.
That’s all there is to solving this annoying Apple Music problem on iOS 8.4.
Some users are also reporting issues with transferring Beats Music Playlists over to Apple Music. This process may take some time, but on the Apple Support Forums one user says that turning on iCloud Music Library brought his friend’s Beats Music playlists to Apple Music immediately.
