I had the same problem! Here’s how I fixed it:


  • *very important* Apple Music MUST be installed on your iPad first.
  • Settings - Privacy & Location - Files and Folders - Uncheck iMovie.
  • Settings - General Settings - Transfer or Reset iPad - Reset (it’ll open a menu) - Reset Location and Privacy
  • Open iMovie - Continue - Allow every permission Apple wants you to hand over - Give it your soul if need be
  • iMusic should now show up in Settings - Privacy & Security with iMovie checked, now that you’ve given it permission.
  • Download all raw data and never trust Apple again.


I hope I covered everything!
