Apple has little interest in content beyond making sure their devices have good access to it, and they've secured that across pretty much all media now. Buying Sony and becoming a content publisher would jeopardize relationships with other content publishers and restrict Apple's ability to innovate in content distribution. It might actually be more of a liability than an asset.
Content also tends to be a messy, risky, hit-driven business, and Apple likes it's products to be a little more reliable and shift that risk onto partners.
Finally, content is the best part of Sony, so it's not likely to be for sale at a substantial discount like other parts of Sony. Less opportunity for a lucrative turnaround.
