Music app problems with iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1)

So lately I've been noticing the music app has been acting up. A while ago I deleted songs directly off of my iPad and then when I plugged it into a computer, the tracks came back but you cannot play them - they're faded, but you can still see all the information and stuff, I don't know if they're taking up memory or not. I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying. Another thing, sometimes it doesn't let me go to the previous song without putting up a fight. I have to repetitively press previous at least 10 times in a row, very fast in order to go back to just one song. Just a few moments ago, when I clicked on a song it would play a random one, not the one I selected. It did that to every song I selected, and then it suddenly started working correctly again. Lastly, I noticed that I've been missing a few album covers that were once there.
I just want to know if anyone else has been having the same issues at all? Thanks.

I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying.
You don't have to delete music on your computer to remove music from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. If you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes and you have Sync Only Checked Songs and Video selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, you can uncheck the songs in your iTunes library or in the selected playlist in iTunes that you want removed from the iPad followed by a sync.
Any change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
If not and you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Music followed by a sync. This should remove all music from your iPad. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music making your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music back to the iPad.

Popular mechanics app problem with ipad 2 IOS 5

I have a problem downloading old magazines from app popular mechanics after i updated the IOS to ver 5. For some reason it appears a message in the ipad screen indicating a problem with the server or that it loose the connection. Please help

I notice that they updated their app at the end of october to account for ios5. Did you do the upgrade from the app store? If you have, then the only other suggestion i have is to make sure the app is fully closed, - double tap the home key, hold an app on the task bar till they jiggle, and close off anything that is lurking down there. Look for an old instance of the same app.
Then relaunch the app and see if it works.

Music app bug with iPad iOS 7.0.3

Hi,
My Music app was working fine until ios 7.0.3. Now, when I hit play, it goes from song to another really fast without actually playing them...
Is that happening to anyone else?
Thanks!
Chris.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Music sync problems with ipad after 8.1.3 update

So toady after many weeks of meaning to update my music on iPad, I got round to doing it. I could cry at this moment I had the same problems with my iPod a few weeks back, where I could get so far with putting music on and then iTunes would just wipe what I had just put on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I ended up just giving up with my iPod. I lost over 200 songs, that iTunes decided to wipe off my device, and now I have just lost over 100 on my iPad. Help would be appreciated

Thanks Apple, for breaking my ipad, I suppose I will just have to wait for a 8.1.3 Jailbreak update, have never done it before, but it looks like that's the only possible way to get my ipad working again.

Audio problems with ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1

Are you experiencing same problems as i am? Just recently, i discovered that my ipad's audio wont work but when i tried to fix it, i was surprised because the volume is in max and every game was in mute. The music, ringtones, youtube, facebook videos work but i was bothered with the games. I think this was caused by the updated recently released by apple which is IOS 5.0.1 .
If you experience the same as i am, please do reply ... Thank you

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Problem with Ipad 2 (Ios 6.1).

I am not able to start my ipad.I connected to the charger but still it doesnt turn on.
Please help me.I am really confused.What to do???

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Problems with iPad 2 Music.app

So I am on 5.0.1. Fairly recently I have had problems with the music app on my iPad 2. It doesn't happen with every album/song, but sometimes when I transfer an album/song to the iPad, in the music app I can't find that album under the heading for that artist in the music app. If I go to albums instead of artists in the music app, I can find the album and play it no problem and 1. When I am scrolling through my album and I see that album, it doesn't have the artists name under it like most of the others do and 2. It's weird because when I play a song and I make the album art full screen, up top where it usually says the artist, it does say the artist name and also when I am looking through my iPads music on the computer, it says the artist name there also. Anyway anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying.

After upgrading to IOS 7.0.2 I can't see the radio button in the music app on my iPad

The radio button does not show anymore in my music app on my iPad after I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2 - it did show briefly the first time I started the app after upgrading but immediately disappeared and is now gone for good. Don't have the issue with my iPhone at all. There it still shows - I tried to restore my iPad and again, opening the music app I was able to see the radio button for 5 seconds and than it disappeared. Any suggestion ?

Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

Hi,

Could apple send me an iPad air. All my friends are making fun of me because I'm stuck with the old device and no phone. I've had app problems with apple before so I think that it would only be fair to get a newer device. Thank You Apple

First we aren't Apple just normal users just like you.
Second provide Apple a feedback or send them a mail.
Third they will never send you a free iPad Air.
If you want one you have to buy it. (go for refurbished if the device is too expensive) or look for special prices.
Contact iTunes support if you have a problem with an App.

Why isn't the Music app on my iPad organized as well as iTunes on my iMac? I'm running Mavericks on the iMac and IOS7 on an iPad air.

Oveer the years I have carefully organized my iTunes albums, songs and playlists the way I want them. And they are organized that way on my iMac. But in the Music app on my iPad some albums have been combined into one and others have their artwork missing. What's going on? How can I fix it?

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???

Playlist icons blink in Music app on my iPad, is this happening to anyone?

Sometimes when I open the music app on my iPad the playlist icons blink, is this happening to you and what can be done

I did try a safe boot once before, which didn't stop the occurrences. I can try it again to make sure, and see if the problem stops happening.
Never installed extra audio or plug-ins, though.
It happened just once not long after I bought the mid-2013 MBA, which I think came with 10.8.4, but I assumed the noise was because I was moving the computer around on a surface that created static, since the noise stopped after I picked it up off the surface. However, that must have just been a coincidence, because it happens more frequently now without moving or touching anything.
Trying the safe-mode boot and restart, and testing it out for day or so to see if it happens again.

Hello, esienriqueiglesias.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information regarding what exact error, message or behavior that you are experiencing when attempting to download applications. However, some applications are large in size and require a Wi-Fi connection to download. I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
