How can I see song lyrics in iOS 5.0?

Before updating my iPad 2, I could see lyrics for the song playing just by touch the screen in "iPod" app (the screen in which the album cover appears). But now I can't see the lyrics at all, and I'm sure they're attached to the songs (I can see them in my iPod nano 5th; I sync the same songs between iPad and iPod). How can I do it now? Is there some way of seeing the lyrics, or the functionality was removed at all?
And, of course, is there anyone else having this same problem?
Thank you all =D

This may be a bug for all that I know but I am too cynical to believe that.
From everything that I have read, it appears as though Apple did remove the feature. What the reasons could be for that are beyond me. And I did find the paragraph that states that feature exists in the iPad. I copied this from the iPad User Guide for iOS 5. The free book that I downloaded in iBooks.
"Display a song’s lyrics
Display the album cover by tapping the thumbnail at the top of the screen. Lyrics appear if you’ve added them to the song using the song’s Info window in iTunes."
However, who knows with Apple anymore. Case in point - Apple changed the wording on their website about multitouch gestures being one of the new features of iOS 5, a day or two after the update came out. They decided to release the feature to work on the iPad 2 only - even though the website promoted the feature as being one of the new features for the "iPad" for months leading up to the release - leading all users to believe that it would work on the iPad 1 as well. I don't know if you read any of those threads but the screaming is finally starting to die down on that one.
My point is that even thought the guide says that the song lyrics works, I have not read of anyone that can confirm that it does. Maybe someone else will confirm that the feature is in the iOS, but I don't believe that it is. So for the time being - for me anyway - it is not a bug - but another "why did they do that" decision by Apple.

How can I see song lyrics in iOS 8?

In the past I've been able to add lyrics to my music in iTunes and then see those lyrics in the music app after syncing my iPhone or iPod... There is an option in my setting to view lyrics which I have turned on and yet I can't see the lyrics I've added in the music app, how do I make it so I can see those lyrics?

Please ignore my above post regarding Open IME.....!!! I had a WAV version of a song and a MP3 version of the song. It allowed me to add lyric ONLY when it was the MP3 version. When i was changing the IME it must have coincided with me changing format of song....hence why I thought it was IME!
Advice to other users.....CHECK WHICH FILE YOU ARE DRAGGING INTO ITUNES....AND DON'T DO IT WHEN TIRED!! I have multiple versions of the songs and I didn't bother checking which was which. I now realise I could have saved myself a good few hours instead of messing about..lol!
The other thing I did learn is that once you add lyric and click 'ok'...then you cannot alter it. I had to delete song from playlist...re-add...then add lyrics again. Not too sure why.... maybe a glitch...or maybe I'm just too tired.
Anyway...I think the problem lies with the format of song you import into i-tunes as mentioned in a post above.
Sorry I couldn't be of no assistance....am tired and i want to go to bed...lol

how can i see songs to sync to iphone from computer?

you can't sync songs from your phone to your computer, syncing is a computer to phone process. if you purchased songs on your phone from itunes and want them to go to your computer so you can listen to them there, you right-click on the name of your phone in itunes and choose 'transfer purchases.' these are the only songs that will go in that direction

How can I see songs on ipod while using iTunes 7.0.12.6

You used to be able to click on your ipod and manage all your songs on your ipod in the old itunes. Now when I click on the ipode I can't see anything on it. When I click on the music tab all I see are options to sync. Everything is "grayed" out when it comes to playlists, can't select them. And on the summary sheet I cannot select Enable disk use.

If you want to manage the tracks on your iPod directly, you need to set your iPod options in iTunes to manually manage the iPod. See "Loading songs onto iPod manually" in your iTunes Help for more information.

HT204570 How can I see my photos in iOS organized by the faces I've identified on the Mac? All of my devices are using the iCloud Photo Library.

I want to be able to view my photos in iOS according to the faces I've identified in them on the Mac, but I can't seem to figure out how. Any suggestions?

On iOS, in the Photos app, use the search functionality (the magnifying glass, top right). Once you click on the magnifying glass - you may need to wait a moment or two - you will see a list of suggested or recent searches. You can type in a face name instead. The results from the search will be all pics tagged with that name.
You may have an issue with not all tagged pictures appearing in the search results, however. Initially all appeared for me, but they no longer do. There appears to be some issue with the reindexing of my picture data in the cloud - the search still returns folder names for folders which don't exist anymore. Hopefully you won't have that to content with.

How can I see app updates in iOS 6

Ever since a few months ago, I have been having issues with my iOS 6 iPhone. Updating it is not an option, as it is a company device. The numeral badge appears on the App Store icon from the home screen, and from any screen inside the App Store but the update tab. When I click that tab, the 15 pending updates (and the badge) disappears. It shows all apps as being up to date, even though I know they're not.
I'd have no problem updating each app by searching, but such is hard when the list will not display. Many apps have broken through the update cycle, and I am unable to see which ones to update. Given my 40+ apps, removing all and updating on the computer isn't a viable option either
Whats's the problem?

Close all apps in the back ground. Hold the power button untill the 'slide to power-off' appears. Now let go of the power button and press the home button untill the screen dissapears and warps you back to the home screen. Now, the cache is cleared.
You can also do this 'per-app'.
Enjoy...
P.S.: This works for ALL iPhone OS AND iOS devices, even for the original iPhone.

It does not look like this is possible with iTunes 11 (or 11.0.1).

If you go to the "Songs" tab, then from the menu select View > Show Status Bar, this will bring up the status bar like iTunes 10 had that tells you how many songs are there, total time of all the songs, and total file size of all the songs.

Greetings Yushk,
It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
