GRRRRR! I just want to play my music why am I seeing this? What does it mean? Why is it going on and on and on and on? Why is there no message, no instruction, no prompt, NOTHING?<\/p>\n<p>30 minutes later my phone still hadn\u2019t changed or give me any indication about what the hell I was supposed to do or what the machine was doing.  I reset both machines then tried again.<\/p>\n<p>Same screen,<\/p>\n<p>Reset<\/p>\n<p>Same Screen<\/p>\n<p>I actually started thinking Apple may have given me a perfect reason NOT to upgrade my Phone or iPad.  After all, if I can\u2019t access the 30GB of music on either device, then I can FLUSH music from the devices, and dump iTunes from the iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n<p>Then I wouldn\u2019t need additional storage because without functional iTunes the music is useless and for that matter so is any movie that would be played through iTunes.<\/p>\n<p>After letting it run in the background on my phone for over 1 hour the damn thing finally gave me a prompt that said something like\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to start a free subscription to Apple Music or Go to your Music.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>You blocked my accessing my local music storage for over an hour while your stupid screen tried to figure out if it should present two freaking buttons?<\/p>\n<p>AND this you\u2019re doing after I already answered this same question months ago, and after I\u2019ve been successfully using phone and pad to play music.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, something updated but didn\u2019t bother to preserve my previous answers.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, my few minutes of listening to music was trashed, and every time I accessed my phone and pad, for text messages, or calendar stuff I had to deal with this stupid screen.<\/p>\n<p>Apple, you\u2019re better than this. I\u2019m begging you, don\u2019t make iTunes on the iPhone and iPad as hated as it is on the Mac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ya know, ALL I WANTED to do was play a couple of songs that I own that are loaded on my phone while I had a 10 minute break between things.
