unable to search music library My Apple Music app will not search my music library which is stored on an external 2TB drive - I have made sure it is not on the privacy list. So when searching for a song tittle I just get the magnifying glass and no action - except the Apple store library which I don't want. Any help appreciated. (I Mac Monterey)

Why is Apple music deleting playlists from my library and ruining all the others? Why is Apple music deleting playlists from my library? Just a couple months after I re-created about 5 playlist that should have been there for years, I click on them and they are EMPTY? And now ALL my playlists — no matter which sorting options I have them set up with — now always revert to the restrictive "playlist view" with no way to sort them. And, if you choose to look at them like you set up the playlist in "song view," all your chosen options are gone, replaced with Apples unhelpful defaults. Is it possible that Apple Music — the iTunes replacement music library part — is getting worse with every update? IMAC running 13.1, Music 1.3.2.31

From the look of things you've installed some McAfee product, that you might not need. See https://www.mcafee.com/support/s/article/000001857?language=en_US
