Apple Music 的时间同步歌词(Apple Music’s time-synced lyrics)是一种有趣的方式来唱出您最喜爱的歌曲,因此当它们无法出现时,它可能会让人非常沮丧。如果“歌词”(Lyrics)按钮显示为灰色或无响应,本故障排除指南将引导您通过多种方法来解决该问题。

1. 并非每首歌都有歌词
在开始之前,需要注意的是,并非Apple Music中的每首歌曲都带有歌词。苹果(Apple)并没有使用一些奇特的算法来自动生成歌词——相反,艺术家或出版商必须上传它们。通常,这意味着您在较老或鲜为人知的歌曲中找不到歌词。
然而,从更积极的角度来看,缺失的歌词可能是专辑特定的。尝试在不同的专辑中搜索同一首歌 - 它可能有它们。
2. 强制退出并重新启动 Apple Music(Relaunch Apple Music)
假设(Suppose)您之前激活特定曲目的歌词时没有遇到问题,或者多首歌曲出现问题。在这种情况下,请尝试强制退出并重新启动Apple的音乐(Music)应用程序,这有助于清除可能阻止歌词显示的小软件问题。
在 iPhone、iPad 或 iPod touch 上:
- (Swipe)从屏幕底部向上滑动以调出应用程序切换器(App Switcher)。
- 找到音乐(Music)卡并将其向上拖出屏幕。
- 重新打开音乐(Music)应用程序,播放歌曲,然后检查歌词是否出现。

如果您使用的是Mac,只需按住Option + Control 键并单击(Control-click)Dock上的“音乐”(Music)图标,然后选择“退出”(Quit)。之后,重新启动音乐(Music)应用程序并查看是否可以再次查看歌词。
3.启用歌曲(Songs)中的露骨内容(Explicit Content)
由于 Apple 的内容限制,包含露骨内容的歌曲的歌词可能会默认隐藏。要排除这种情况,您必须访问Apple 设备上的
“屏幕时间”控制台。(Screen Time)
在 iPhone、iPad 和 iPod touch 上:
- 打开“设置”应用程序。
- 点击屏幕时间。
- 点击内容限制(Tap Content Restrictions)并输入您的屏幕时间(Time)密码。了解如果您忘记了
屏幕使用时间密码,(reset the Screen Time passcode)如何重置它。

- 点击音乐(Tap Music)、播客(Podcasts)、新闻(News)、健身(Fitness)。
- 确保(Make)“显式”(Explicit)是活动设置。

如果您使用的是 Mac:
- 打开Apple菜单并选择“系统设置”(System Settings)。
- 选择侧边栏上的屏幕时间。
- 选择内容和隐私。
- 选择标记为内容限制 的(Content Restrictions)选项。
- 启用“允许露骨音乐(Allow Explicit Music)、播客(Podcasts)和新闻”(News)旁边的开关。
4. 检查您的互联网连接
Apple Music中的歌词需要有效的互联网连接,这意味着您将无法在离线播放时查看它们。连接到Wi-Fi或启用移动数据,然后重试。
如果您在 iPhone 或 iPad 上使用移动数据,请确保音乐(Music)应用有权使用蜂窝网络带宽。要做到这一点:
- 打开“设置”应用程序。
- 点击蜂窝网络。
- 启用Music(Music)旁边的开关(如果未激活)。
5.更新Apple Music应用程序
如果每个曲目的歌词图标都没有响应,则可能是(Lyrics)音乐(Music)应用程序出现故障。解决方案?更新它。Apple通过 iOS、iPadOS 和 macOS 更新推出音乐(Music)更新,因此唯一的方法就是更新设备的系统软件。
在 iPhone、iPad 和 iPod touch 上:
- 前往“设置”>“常规”。
- 点击软件更新。
- 如果有可用更新,请点击“下载(Download)并安装”(Install)。

在 Mac 上:
- 打开系统设置应用程序。
- 转至常规 > 软件更新。
- 选择立即
更新以安装挂起的更新。(Update)
如果问题是在更新您的Apple设备后发生的,并且后续修复均无效,请等到下一个更新到来或降级到之前版本的 iOS(downgrade to the previous version of iOS)或macOS。
6.删除多余的语言
苹果(Apple)论坛的讨论表明,删除除主要语言之外的所有语言可能是解决音乐(Music)应用无法在 iPhone、iPad 和 iPod touch 上显示歌词的问题。就是这样:
- 打开“设置”应用程序。
- 转到General > Language和区域(Region)。
- (Swipe)将首选语言(Preferred Languages)列表下的所有非主要语言向右滑动,然后点击删除(Delete)。

7.通过艺术家页面(Page)播放曲目(Track)
如果仅来自音乐库或自定义播放列表的歌曲无法显示歌词,请尝试直接通过艺术家页面播放它们。
一种快速方法是在“正在播放”屏幕中点击艺术家的姓名,然后选择“转到专辑”(Album)。在随后出现的屏幕上,选择相关专辑并选择曲目。
8.清除苹果音乐缓存
过时的Apple Music缓存可能会导致反复出现故障,导致歌词无法显示。没有直接的方法可以清除 iPhone、iPad 和 iPod touch 上的内容,但您可以尝试卸载并重新安装音乐(Music)应用。您的下载应该保持不变。
如果您想继续:
- 打开“设置”应用程序。
- 转至General > iPhone/iPad/iPod touch 存储。
- 找到并点按音乐。
- 点击卸载应用程序。
- 点击卸载进行确认。

- 点击重新安装应用程序。
- 打开“音乐”应用程序,如果出现提示,请使用您的(Music)Apple ID登录。
如果您使用的是Mac,则可以通过Finder安全地删除(Finder)Apple Music缓存。退出音乐(Music)应用程序,然后:
- 打开Finder应用程序,然后选择菜单栏上的
Go > Go
- 依次访问以下目录:
- 〜/图书馆/缓存/com.apple.Music
- 〜/图书馆/缓存/com.apple.iTunes
- 按 Command(Press Command) + A 并将两个文件夹中所有突出显示的项目拖到 Mac 的废纸篓(Trash)中。
9.重置设备的网络设置(Network Settings)
如果歌词需要很长时间才能加载或触发黑屏,重置Apple设备上的网络设置可能会有所帮助。这有助于消除因网络配置损坏而导致的持续连接问题。
在 iPhone、iPad 和 iPod touch 上:
- 打开“设置”(Settings)应用程序,然后转到General > Transfer或重置(Reset)iPhone”> “重置”(Reset)。
- 点击重置网络设置。
- 输入您的设备密码,然后在确认弹出窗口中再次点击“重置网络设置” 。(Reset Network Settings)设备重新启动后,重新连接到Wi-Fi或激活移动数据。

在Mac(Mac)上重置网络设置稍微复杂一些。我们建议您参阅我们的Mac 网络设置重置指南(Mac network settings reset guide)以了解更多信息。
这是一个包装
正如您刚刚了解到的,当歌词无法出现在Apple Music中时,您有多种方法可以解决问题。首先进行快速修复,例如强制重新启动音乐(Music)应用程序并检查您的屏幕时间(Time)限制。然后,深入研究高级解决方案,例如更新系统软件、清理Apple Music缓存和重置网络设置。只要有耐心,您应该能够再次加载歌词。
如果问题仍然存在,请随时联系 Apple 支持(reach out to Apple Support)。您可以随时查看其他流媒体服务(check out alternative streaming services),但问题并非Apple Music特有。就连Spotify 也有歌词方面的麻烦(Spotify has its share of trouble with song lyrics)。
Apple Music Not Showing Lyrics? 9 Fixes to Try
Apple Music’s time-synced lyrics are a fun way to belt out your favorite songs, so it can be a real downer when they fail to show up. If the Lyrics button appears grayed out or unresponsive, this troubleshooting guide will walk you through multiple ways to fix the issue.

1. Not Every Song Has Lyrics
Before we begin, it’s important to mention that not every track in Apple Music comes with lyrics. Apple does not use some fancy algorithm to auto-generate lyrics—instead, the artist or publisher has to upload them. Often, that means you won’t find lyrics in older or lesser-known songs.
On a more positive note, however, the missing lyrics could be album-specific. Try searching for the same song in a different album—it just might have them.
2. Force-Quit and Relaunch Apple Music
Suppose you previously had no trouble activating lyrics for a particular track, or the issue occurs with multiple songs. In that case, try force-quitting and relaunching Apple’s Music app, which helps clear minor software hiccups that might stop lyrics from appearing.
On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the App Switcher.
- Locate the Music card and drag it up and out of the screen.
- Re-open the Music app, play a song, and check if the lyrics appear.

If you’re on a Mac, just Option + Control-click the Music icon on the Dock and select Quit. After that, relaunch the Music app and see if you can view lyrics again.
3. Enable Explicit Content in Songs
Songs with explicit content might have their lyrics hidden by default due to Apple’s content restrictions. To rule that out, you must visit the Screen Time console on your Apple device.
On the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Screen Time.
- Tap Content Restrictions and enter your Screen Time passcode. Learn how to reset the Screen Time passcode if you’ve forgotten it.

- Tap Music, Podcasts, News, Fitness.
- Make sure Explicit is the active setting.

If you’re on a Mac:
- Open the Apple menu and select System Settings.
- Select Screen Time on the sidebar.
- Select Content & Privacy.
- Choose the option labeled Content Restrictions.
- Enable the switch next to Allow Explicit Music, Podcasts, and News.
4. Check Your Internet Connection
Lyrics in Apple Music require an active internet connection, meaning you’ll be unable to view them during offline playback. Connect to Wi-Fi or enable mobile data and try again.
If you’re using mobile data on your iPhone or iPad, make sure the Music app has permission to use cellular bandwidth. To do that:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Cellular.
- Enable the switch next to Music, if inactive.
5. Update the Apple Music App
If the Lyrics icon is unresponsive for every track, it could be a fault with the Music app. The solution? Update it. Apple rolls out Music updates through iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates, so the only way to do that is to update the device’s system software.
On the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:
- Go to Settings > General.
- Tap on Software Update.
- If an update is available, tap Download and Install.

On the Mac:
- Open the System Settings app.
- Go to General > Software Update.
- Select Update Now to install pending updates.
If the issue occurred right after updating your Apple device and none of the subsequent fixes work, wait until the next update arrives or downgrade to the previous version of iOS or macOS.
6. Delete Extra Languages
Apple forum chatter indicates deleting all languages except the primary language as a likely fix to the Music app’s inability to display lyrics on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Here’s how:
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to General > Language and Region.
- Swipe any non-primary languages under the Preferred Languages list to the right and tap Delete.

7. Play the Track via the Artist’s Page
If lyrics fail to appear for songs only from your music library or custom playlist, try playing them directly via the artist’s page.
A quick way to do that is to tap the artist’s name within the Now Playing screen and choose Go to Album. On the screen that subsequently shows up, pick the relevant album and select the track.
8. Clear the Apple Music Cache
An obsolete Apple Music cache can result in recurring glitches preventing lyrics from showing up. There’s no straightforward way to clear its content on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, but you can try offloading and reinstalling the Music app. Your downloads should remain intact.
If you want to go ahead:
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to General > iPhone/iPad/iPod touch Storage.
- Locate and tap Music.
- Tap Offload App.
- Tap Offload to confirm.

- Tap Reinstall App.
- Open the Music app and sign in with your Apple ID if prompted.
If you’re on a Mac, you can safely remove the Apple Music cache via Finder. Quit the Music app, and then:
- Open the Finder app and select Go > Go to Folder on the menu bar.
- Visit the directories below one after the other:
- ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Music
- ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes
- Press Command + A and drag all highlighted items with both folders into the Mac’s Trash.
9. Reset the Device’s Network Settings
If lyrics take ages to load or trigger a blank screen, resetting the network settings on your Apple device might help. That helps eliminate persistent connectivity issues stemming from a corrupt networking configuration.
On the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:
- Open the Settings app and go to General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset.
- Tap Reset Network Settings.
- Enter your device passcode and tap Reset Network Settings again on the confirmation popup. Once your device restarts, reconnect to Wi-Fi or activate mobile data.

Resetting the network settings on the Mac is slightly complicated. We recommend referring to our Mac network settings reset guide for more information.
That’s a Wrap
As you just learned, you have multiple ways to fix problems when lyrics fail to appear in Apple Music. Begin with quick fixes like force-relaunching the Music app and checking your Screen Time restrictions. Then, dive into advanced solutions like updating the system software, cleaning the Apple Music cache, and resetting the network settings. With patience, you should be able to get lyrics to load again.
Feel free to reach out to Apple Support if issues persist. You can always check out alternative streaming services in the meantime, but the problem isn’t specific to Apple Music. Even Spotify has its share of trouble with song lyrics.
