I domestically handle my music library with Apple Music app, do not allow Apple Music organizing my library, and don’t use the Apple Music streaming service. Just lately I upgraded to Mac OS 14.3.1 (and later 14.4) and beginning receiving the next error within the Apple Music app on startup:
'The file "Software.db" can't be learn. An unknown error occurred'
After acknowledging okay, I then obtain this message pop up consistently:
'The music library file can't be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)'
Nonetheless, my music library masses simply wonderful for shopping, however I am unable to play any music anymore (clicking songs simply results in no actions). My Music Library.musiclibrary folder remains to be present in its authentic location, together with the folder of backups — clicking on any of them does not change what is going on on.
I used to be capable of finding somebody with comparable signs: https://boards.macrumors.com/threads/music-app-wrecked-after-update-to-14-3-1.2419347/. That publish mentioned they discovered this website speaking about that particular error: https://appleinsider.com/inside/apple-music/suggestions/how-to-fix-the-apple-music-error–54-on-macos, which led to them rebuilding their library.
I do not need to should rebuild my whole library to play music once more. Taking inspiration from the permissions error, I began poking across the settings for Apple Music and got here throughout this from clicking Music -> Settings -> Information:
Music Media Folder Location
---------------------------
/Macintosh HD/Customers/[me]/Library/Cell
/path/to/my/library
I did not acknowledge the primary folder, and the second is right. . After I browsed my Library folder, I discovered there was no Cell folder in anyway. I manually created the folder within the terminal, and now I can play music once more!
Nonetheless, I nonetheless consistently obtain the popup errors, and moreover, I can’t delete the Library/Cell folder from the record of places. If I click on “Change”, it prompts me to choose a brand new folder and solely adjustments the backside folder listed, i.e. the proper path to my library. The Library/Cell folder at all times stays within the itemizing.
I think this might my final situation given my music began enjoying once more as soon as I created that folder. How can I take away this folder from the itemizing? Is there a particular spot the place Apple Music settings are saved and I may edit by hand?
