How to Fix Apple Intelligence: Siri Can't Find Your Library Music

Select Language:

Recently, I encountered an issue with my iPhone after adding new music through iTunes. Even though my songs were successfully transferred, Siri stopped recognizing specific tracks when I requested them. For instance, when I asked, "Siri, play ‘Disease’ by Lady Gaga," Siri replied, "I couldn’t find ‘Disease’ by Lady Gaga in your Apple Music library." The problem is frustrating because I had played that song before without any issues.

If you’re facing a similar problem, don’t worry! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

Step 1: Check Your Connection

Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Siri relies on several online resources to find your music, so a weak connection might cause problems.

Step 2: Refresh Your Music Library

Sometimes, your music library needs a little refresh. Here’s how you can do that:

Open Settings: Go to your iPhone’s settings.
Music Settings: Scroll down and tap on “Music.”
Show Apple Music: If “Show Apple Music” is turned off, switch it on.
Sync Library: Make sure "Sync Library" is enabled. This helps Siri access your new music.

Step 3: Restart Your iPhone

A simple restart can often resolve many issues.

Restart Your iPhone: Press and hold the power button until you see the "slide to power off" option. Slide it and wait a few seconds before turning it back on.

Step 4: Resync Your Music

If the above steps didn’t work, resyncing your music might help.

Connect Your iPhone to Your Computer: Open iTunes or Finder if you’re using a Mac.
Select Your Device: Click on your iPhone icon when it appears.
Music Tab: Go to the "Music" tab and ensure that all the music you want is checked.
Sync: Click “Sync” to update your music library.

Step 5: Re-add Music If Necessary

If you are still having trouble, consider removing and re-adding your music.

Delete Music from iPhone: Go to the Music app, find the problematic songs, swipe left, and tap “Delete.”
Re-add Music through iTunes: Select the songs in iTunes you want, right-click and choose “Sync.”

Step 6: Update Your iPhone

Keeping your iPhone updated can also fix bugs that cause issues with Siri.

Open Settings: Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
Install any Available Updates: If there’s an update available, follow the prompts to install it.

Conclusion

Hopefully, these steps will help you resolve the issue with Siri not recognizing your songs. Remember, technology can sometimes act unpredictably, but with a little troubleshooting, you can get your music playing smoothly again! If the problem persists, don’t hesitate to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. Happy listening!
