Hello mklein511 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty with an error code when trying to download Apple Music content.


The article linked below is actually for issues when restoring an iOS device from a Mac but the error you are seeing is referenced.


iOS update and restore errors


Start by making sure that if you are running any anti-virus or security software that it has been totally disabled (or, better, removed) and try again.


Cheers.
