Apple native MusicApp on Mac redirects to web version of the service.

Apple music app installed on Mac, on Home screen after monthly replay is pressed opens web version of the app and asks for the iCloud credentials. It does on on the Mac, on every other devices the list of the most frequently played appears automatically. What's also funny on web site in the section "purchased" more the half items is missing and - once clicked, the purchased list appears on the Iphone.

Hello clown02,


I remember I had a similar behaviour quite some time ago with one of my Macs.


Even on other devices anything runs fine, this Mac always asked for the Apple-ID credentials. Time by time, mostly after a cold restart. At this moment I had to enter the password mostly 3 times in a row, one for the store, one for the cloud,... whatever, - annoying.


As I remember the only way to get rid of this was to unauthorises this Mac and re-authorise it again. I can remember this was frightening and not that easy. Maybe you need to unauthorises not only the Apple Music Client, maybe more. I do not remember this detail.

Thanks tor that info. What I've done before I posted it - because I still have outgoing issue with mystery behavior of the iCloud settings - was: reauthorizing the comp - no change; deleting the standard user (connected to ICould), reinstall the system and setting all new, including the password - no change; I've also played with safe mode, deleting cache things. Nothing works for now.
