Error in the iphone music app iOS7 with dozens of empty genius playlists

Im getting an error in the iphone music app in iOS7 with dozens of empty genius playlists even tho genius is OFF in my account settings and genius playlists are not selected for syncing with my iphone 5. All apps, iTunes and iOS 7 are updated.
The option to turn off genius under STORE menu is no longer available in the latest version of iTunes 11.1.
Thanks.

Love your comment:
"Oddly the option to Delete is, get this, under Save:"
LOL!!!!!!!!!
This is just nuts!
Whoever heard of hitting SAVE to DELETE something....Ha Ha Ha!!!
The lunitics are officially running the asylum.....who knows whet they will do next.
Design cars where you need to engage reverse to access drive.
Many thanks this worked for me and I would NEVER have found it without you.
I would NEVER have hit Save to Delete something...And I mean NEVER!
Maybe if I hit Cancel button below this text box, it will save the contents for me..... Unbelievable!!!

"Unable to download items" error message on iPhone Music App

On my new iPhone only some of the songs from my itunes song list would download to the "Music" app. All the Albume covers and titels show in the dowloads section of my itunes app but underneath the song title it says "Download error. Tap to retry"? When I do I keep getting the error message "Unable to download items"? Funny because about 10 of the songs from the itunes app moved over to the music app but the rest won't? Anybody run into this? Thanks!

I am still working on this problem and I just noticed that when I go back into itunes on my computer and then go to "File" then "Devices" all the tabs under devices are greyed out so I am unable to sync or transfer purchases?

I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members. What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family. What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.

HT201210 my phone won't turn on after trying to restore it with iTunes what do i do??!! also it just has the blue music app with an arrow and power cord on it. HELP!

My phone will NOT turn back on after trying to restore it with itunes. It just has the blue music app with an arrow & the usb side of the power cord on it.
Help me please!!

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

All the best,

Is there something wrong with the iPhone calc app?

The other day I needed to show my son how many paper punch cards would be needed to compete with the flash memory on my iPhone 4. Each punch card had 480 spaces on it, that could correspond to bits. In order to work out how many punch cards would be needed, I had to first figure out how many bits there were in 32Gb. The following calculation needs to be done in landscape mode, otherwise you ae unable to see the numbers properly on the display.
8 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 32 = 274,877,906,944
Now for the interesting bit.
If I divide the amount of bits held in a 32Gb by the amount of bits on the old paper punch card I should get - 572,662,306.1333333333 recurring cards required.
Strangely the iPhone calc app believes that the number is just shy of 6 cards at 5.7266230613333e+8.
Now I know this is not some strange scientific notation because if I divide by a whole number such as 100 or 400, etc... then it gets the answer right. Further more with really big numbers, the iPhone calc app seems to loose the plot and provide incorrect answers. Other apps I have for calculation get the answer right, but not the iphone app.
Before anyone points out that Flash storage is done in 1000Mb's instead of 1024Mb's, I know. I was just doing a demonstration based on the actual figure of 32Gb, using the correct numbers based on a binary base. Storage manufacturers often use this as there manufacturing techniques do not work in the same way as the maths.
Anyone else seen this problem, and if so, what strange numbers can we get, highlighting the problem, so that it gets fixed in the next update. I think I shall have to try this out in Numbers on the iPhone, see if the problem is there to. As a passing shot I feel that this is a fundamental problem that needs to be addressed, and relatively quickly.
I am currently using iOS 5.0.1 on the iphone and iPad.

Amazing...yet again an excuse for a 16 digit display that is incapable of displaying 572 million.... But funnily enough it will display something proper when divided by 400, or in other words, it resorts to moron system and prints '687,194,767.36'. Maybe we should all write everything in scientific notation...and forget this silly simplistic system of using numbers and commas to designate large numbers. For all you scientific types, they are no longer millionaires, no they will just be renamed "1.0e+6's". Even better, we could rename millionaires row, to something scientific. Yeah I can see that taking off.
@tonefox, thanks for clearing that up for me, I wondered what all those strange new fangled words were for...
I give up, you guys win. Asking questions here is like nailing jelly to a wall...

"The iPhone is already synced with another iTunes library" same imac but after update Snow leopard now have this problem? HELP

I recently just had to re-install snow leopard on my imac. Thankfully I backed up all my music and re-imported everything from my old install to this one. However, when I go to sync my iPhone 4 I get the message that reads:
"The iPhone is already synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and synch with this iTunes library?"
It warns that doing so will erase my current iphone and replace the contents of it with the contents in my new iTunes library.
I manage to back up photo in iPhoto, using iTune I Back up using control click mouse and get the back up button, but when I search my computer for the backup it cannot find it anywhere!!!!I I'm afraid to sync in fear of losing all my images and app data. want all mytext and other things to be safe

You are trying to do the same thing as wj talks about in his user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

HT1386 i'm receiving error message; "The iPhone "___" could not be synched beacuse the sync session failed to start."

this is continually happening. This iPhone 4 had corporate information on it. When I left the company on Monday, they remote-wiped the phone. I knew this would happen. Now I can't sync it at all!!!
I started from "new" and attempted to rebuild from scratch.
USB not working properly
WiFi not working properly
iCloud brought most apps back
iTunes brought most apps back
I'm using:
iTunes v10.6.3.25
iOS: 5.1.1
it all appears to be 'ok' then i spend an hour arranging the way-too-many apps--then i get the error that the iPhone will not start the session.
I do NOT get the circular arrows indicating sync on the phone
iTunes DOES attempt to talk to the phone (so it appears in the top dialog bar)
How to I force the session to start?
Thx, Frustrated in Miami -- (this is not a time to talk to Apple with the iPhone 5 craziness!)

This may help you

Can I revert the standard music app back to the previous version?

I link my iPhone 4 to my HD radio in my vehicle all the time to listen to my song library or to other audio such as Pandora or iTunesU. An update for the standard iPhone music app loaded recently, and my radio is no longer able to communicate with my iPhone. Could the music app update have caused this? If so, is it possible to revert back to the previous version?
I have linked other devices to the radio to rule out the chance that the radio is the problem. I have also done a hard reset on both my iPhone and my radio. Before the update, my radio recognized the iPhone as an iPod.

If it came up in the app store updates, then you are not talking about the built in music app. You're talking about a 3rd party app. That is something completely different.
If you have been syncing with your computer, and you have been making backups of your computer, you should be able to retrieve an old version of the app from the backup of your computer. Delete the one in your itunes library and the one on the phone, then replace it in the iTunes library on the computer with the one from your backup. Sync it to the phone and DO NOT update it until the publisher resolves the problem.

Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

Hi,
Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
Thanks!

I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

I only see about 10 iphone music apps -- am I missing something?

Looking for iphone music apps and only see a few at the apple store.
Am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks,
Fred

You are also posting in the wrong place. This is the Mac App Store forum, apps for Mac computers. You should post in the iTunes forum.
BTW, I see scores of iPhone music apps in the iTunes App Store for the iPhone when I search with the search word music.

Why were podcasts removed from the stable Music app?

Why were podcasts removed from the stable Music app? If it was absolutely necessary to have a seperate Podcasts app, why couldn't we have kept the iOS 6 option of leaving podcasts in the Music app if we didn't download the Apple Podcasts app. Since the iPhone 3g I have never had an issue with the Music app, it's always be reliably stable, yet it's been problem after problem after being forced to download the Podcasts app after updating to iOS 7.
1) Podcasts app, every version since being forced to download it with iOS 7, has never synced correctly with iTunes. My phone is always missing podcasts that I've set to sync and want to listen to when I'm away from my computer. Seems like this should be a basic function (one that worked flawlessly when podcasts were in the Music app)
2) Since the last two updates, it has been CRASH AD INFINITUM. Not a single podcast will play for more than a second before the app crashes to springboard. The newest update that supposedly 'fixed' the stability issue fixed nothing for me. What is the point of all the new features if the app won't stay open? I don't want new features, I just want to sync podcasts from iTunes and then listen to them on my phone. Podcasts really should be that simple!
I've killed Apple Podcasts app from the multitasking view. Restarted app. Crash.
I've deleted Apple Podcasts app, and all data, re-installed, and synced. Crash.
I've deleted Apple Podcasts app, and all data, re-installed, did not sync, downloaded a podcast from within the app. Crash.
I've restored my phone, only installed the Podcasts app, downloaded a podcast from within the app. Crash.
Bought a paid third-party app, downloaded a podcast from with the app. Enjoyed listening to a podcast.

Hi,
This is a Google problem - they have purposefully removed the app.
Sorry about that!

Adding Lyrics to the iPhone music player

Just wondering: is there any way to "copy and paste" lyrics to the iPhone music player, or must it be done through the iTunes on the Mac? If not, is there an app that can do it?

Use the photos pane in iTunes. You can sync photos and videos (Mac only, iTunes 9 required) with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos and videos in any folder on your computer that contains images. Just put the photos you want in a folder (or several folders within a main folder) and select "Sync photos from <choose folder>" and choose the folder you want to sync.

Album Art Sorting incorrectly in Compilations/Albums iphone Music App listing/tab

Album Art Sorting incorrectly in Compilations/Albums iphone Music App listing/tab
Sounds like a mouthful, but basically im saying that I have a bunch of compilations that when displayed in itunes on my pc,
show the album art which is set for the first track. This is to be expected.
But when i upload the compilations to my iPhone 5, and i open up the Music app and select the compilations tab...
The same compilations show another album art that is actually associated with another track in the compilation.
When i looked for a pattern, i found that it would basically take the album art from the track in the compilation based on the artists name in reverse alphabetical order.
So if i had album art associated with every track in the compilation, normally it would show in the listing the album art of the first track... but now it was actually the album art of the artist name starting closest to the letter z.
I've tested this many times. very annoying. but to explain again...
If i have a compilation containing artists from Coldplay to Ziggy Marley... no matter where in the listing Ziggy Marley is listed first to last... it will display the Album art associated to Ziggy Marley in the List view for the Compilations or Albums tab in the Music app on an iPhone 5.
Normally you would expect it to show the album art associated with the first track in the listing as it does in Itunes so as to keep uniformity between what you upload in iTunes and what you see in the Music app on the iPhone.
THIS IS A BUG APPLE!!!... test it for yourselves... someone broke your db sorting in the new itunes. ITunes 11, with iPhone 5
Please fix!
Thank you kindly...

another note... when i select the album from the list (on the iphone, in the music app) and it slides over to show all tracks in the compilation...
it then shows the proper album art as it should.
Also, when i check cover flow it then shows another incorrect cover?

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I have the iphone 4 and PC with Windows Vista Basic. When I bought my iPhone syncs with iTunes on my computer, but now when I try to sync it tells me that Mobile Device Service was closed and I can not synchronize the phone. Try restarting Mobile Device Service and uninstall and reinstall Itunes but still giving me the same error.
