Late last month Apple company released another version mobile platform iOS 8.4, with which users received the new music service Apple Music.

The utility, which everyone has been talking about since Tim Cook's acquisition of Beats, which became Apple's largest acquisition in its history, received not only a changed icon, but also completely new content.

After two years of rumors and corporate secrets, Apple Music appeared in the set of pre-installed applications on Apple firmware, which automatically replaced the previously existing Music application.

When launching the updated application for the first time, users are faced with the need to subscribe. You can choose an individual or family subscription, which differ not only in the number of users, but also in price. If you don't want to pay a tidy sum right away, you have the right to a trial use of the service, which lasts three months, during which you can listen to music absolutely free.

If you are intimidated by the transition to the purchase confirmation page, you can rest assured - the program does not withdraw money, but checks your solvency in order to automatically write off the required amount when the free use period ends.

A few minutes after the system determines whether there is music on the device, and having found it, processes it and adds it to the library, you can proceed to get acquainted with the proposed new products.

It would seem that everything is just perfect - the new application works like a clock, a huge amount of music for every taste and budget, just have time to browse and buy, but that’s not the case.

As it turned out during the study of the vastness of the Apple Music music library, the program does not even allow you to listen to some compositions and even entire albums. At first, you might think that Apple simply didn’t reach an agreement with the artists and didn’t add their music to the collection, but when it comes to popular groups and performers, this seems unlikely.

Then a lot of other unpleasant thoughts about this appear, and users go to technical support forums to share their grief with fellow sufferers.

In fact, everything is much simpler than the offended users of Apple technology thought, and Apple did not deny them the pleasure of listening to the music of their favorite artists.

The fact is that those users who tried to buy music from popular punk and rock bands, whose lyrics contain profanity, encountered problems when trying to download. Such content, according to Apple's rules, fell into the Explicit category, and the application blocked access to it. Moreover, the ban turned out to be so strict that the utility does not even pay attention to the user’s age.

Despite the seriousness of the restrictions, this is not a reason to be upset, since there is a very simple and easy way get around them.

In order to disable blocking content with an Explicit rating, you need to go to settings - “General” and select “Restrictions”. Here we click “Enable restrictions”. To do this you will have to enter a password. If you have not used this section of the settings before, at this stage you will have to set a four-digit security code.
