The preview will allow users to access their favorite music and TV shows on their PCs.

Apple Music and TV, like other Apple products, keep getting updated with new features and bring along some bugs and issues that trouble the users.

In a similar light, we also have a tracker that is dedicated to the recent bugs, issues and features of Apple iOS 16 and the like.

Apple Music and TV Preview on Windows 11

The availability of Apple Music and Apple TV preview is meant to finally bring early access to these platforms on Windows 11 PCs.

However, some users have reported (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) difficulty in downloading and installing the apps on their PCs.

Why can’t I download the Apple Music preview? I wanted to try the new apple music preview for Windows 11 and I can’t seem to be able to install it! There isn’t a button and I am a Windows Insider for Windows 11 if that helps!

Affected users have taken to forums and communities to express their concern and seek a solution for the problem.

Potential workarounds

The first potential reason for this issue is that some users may be on unsupported versions of Windows. The minimum requirement for these preview apps is Windows 11 version 22621.0 or higher.

If your version is lower than this, you will not be able to download and install the apps.

Another potential reason for this issue is that the preview apps may still be limited to the US. Some users have reported that changing their location settings to the USA allows them to download and install the apps.

Workaround Apple TV and Music

However, this is not a guaranteed solution and may not work for all users.

Another workaround that has been suggested by some users is to download the apps from the Microsoft Store website instead of the Microsoft Store app.

You can install them from windows store. Windows central says that they are not tied to preview build of windows 11 so everyone with 11 might install them. Region lock is US at the moment.

This method has been reported to work for some users who were unable to download the apps through the Microsoft Store app. Keep in mind that these are just workarounds and may not work for everyone.

It is worth noting that the developers have not yet acknowledged or commented on the matter.

That said, we hope the issue with Apple Music and TV Preview apps on Windows 11 gets a solution as soon as possible.

Watch this space as we will update it with further developments whenever we come across any.
