Everything's seemingly going wireless, so why wouldn't you jump on the wireless music bandwagon? With Sonos, you can stream all of your music to every room in your house, provided you have enough Sonos speakers to fill it.

Sonos is a wireless smart speaker system that connects to your home Wi-Fi network and then creates a network of its own, so that it's not eating up your bandwidth.

There's a Sonos app for iPhone and iPad, but you can also have total control from your Mac, so if you have a massive music library, you can put it all to good use!

Power up

Anker's PowerCore Wireless 10K charger is a battery pack without the fuss

Anker is out with a new wireless battery pack that'll keep things ticking along no matter where you are.

Check these things first

Check your settings and network connection on all of your devices:

  • Make sure that your devices have the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or iTunes for Windows.
  • Make sure that Sync Library is turned on for all of your devices.
  • Connect all of your devices to the Internet.
  • Visit the Apple System Status page to see if there are interruptions in service in your country or region.

If you can't find or play a song

If you can't find or play a song, check if you added it from Apple Music. If it came from another source, the song might be waiting to upload. Try these steps:

  1. Turn on your Mac or PC and connect it to the Internet.
  2. Open the Music app or iTunes for Windows.
  3. Keep the Music app or iTunes for Windows open so your library can finish uploading.

If you see an ineligible icon next to a song, delete the song, then add it back to your library. If you still see an ineligible icon next to a song, then that song can’t be uploaded.

If a song is grayed out, then the song might be waiting to upload, no longer available, or not yet released from the Apple Music catalog.

If a song is missing

Make sure that all of your devices have Sync Library turned on, and signed in with the same Apple ID.

If you’re still missing a song that you added from the Apple Music catalog, then the song might have been removed from Apple Music or is available under a different file name. Try searching Apple Music for the song, then add it to your library.
