Viewing order on iPad music app

I use a PC with itunes. When I sync to my ipad the playlists are not in alphabetical order. How do I fix this?

Are you using a US itunes account? If so Maybe its hidden for some reason. In the music app click on more button on bottom bar, then edit which should be on the right near the top. Is it in there where you can drag it down.

IPad music app: album count incorrect/too large in artist view

Hello,
My problem isn't critical, but it is really annoying. My third generation iPad is showing incorrect album counts for artists under artist view in the Apple music app.
For example, I have just one Coldplay album (Viva La Vida) uploaded to my iPad, but the music app reads the following under the album/artwork in artist view: "10 songs, 15 albums".
I have turned the iPad on and off. I have done a hard reset (by holding home and power button down until iPad shuts off and then tirns on again). I have restored the iPad from a back up through iTunes. I have restored it to factory settings through iTunes and set it up as a new iPad. I have erased the iPad using the iPad "settings/general/reset/erase all contents and settings" option. I have synced the iPad with iTunes and utilized the music tab to replace the music on the iPad. I have uploaded the albums through the iTunes store. I have synced them from my computer.
NONE of these options have worked. They all result in incorrect album counts.
This seems to be a problem which surfaced after I upgraded to iOS6, but I am not sure if that is what caused the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is some sort of issue with iOS6. There are several threads (and theories) as to why this is happening. But the bottom line is, Apple needs to correct the problem.
One person indicated that the actual number of albums (by a particular artist) in his iTunes Library was the number of albums indicated on the iPad, regardless of the number of albums he chose to sync. In other words, if I have 10 albums by artist "ABC" in my iTunes Library, but chose to sync only 5 of them, the iPad would still indicate 10 albums by "ABC" (because it's looking to the iTunes Library for the album count instead of the number of actual albums that were synched to the iPad). While that theory makes sense, I found it to be somewhat untrue, at least in my case.
What I discovered is, if you rename or make a change to any of the metadata associated with a track from a particular album, then that album is duplicated when you sync, displaying the original album tracks (sans the one or two you changed) under the album name and a second version is created (using the exact same album name) but displaying only the track or tracks you modified. This in turn, increases your album count by one. So instead of showing the entry as just one album, the count now reads two for the same title. To make things even more confusing, if you go back and modify both versions of the album, successully combining the two back into one, so to speak (this can be done by renaming the artist to some other name, synching, then renaming it back to the correct artist), the album will then display correctly (just one "vesrion" showing on the iPad), but the album count remains unchanged (still indicating two). Basically, the count isn't reset, but remains incorrect.
Hopefully, I didn't confuse everyone. But it's difficult to explain. From everything I've read, it appears to be a combination of things; Album count and display, as well as creating additional album "instances" if any tracks are modified.
In any event, I hope they fix it soon. Because if you have a large music library like mine, it takes no time to really screw things up!

IPad Music app crashes while trying to choose my shared Mac music library

IPad Music app crashes while trying to choose my shared Mac music library. Only a few of the artists show up and if I try a search, the App crashes.

Thanks. This got all of the artists to show up but the music app still crashes when I search the shared music library.

The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. help and advice will be much appreciated

The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. what do i do?

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

Hi lukeshk,
If I understand correctly and you're having trouble accessing the iTunes Store in iOS 7 on your iPad, I would recommend this article of troubleshooting:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
I'd also suggest running through these:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137

Remote app in combination with ipad music app

Hi
Can i stream music from itunes to my ipad with the remote app
In fact i'm looking for an app from which i can remote control itunes on my mac mini
and stream music to my ipad, using the same library or shared library and same app
During music discovery nights with a friend
I want to prelisten to the music with the ipad
And after the correct selection i have to swith to the remote app to play the selected song on my mac mini
I constantly have to switch between remote app and ipad music app
Which is very annoying because
- remote app looses his connection after every switch between the 2 apps
- i then have to go through the complete music library again till i have the track that i wanted to play
- and many more
Also that music app has changed since a while and doesnt offer me the same comfort scrolling through my music
I recently discovered plex and its ios app
In that app we can click on the track we need and it gives me the choice to play it on the mac mini or the ipad
Which is a really cool feature
But, ..., it doesnt have any search possibilities
In every app i tried there is always something missing to make it raeaeaeaellllllyyy eaeaeaeassssyyyyy
Isnt that what technology is supposed to offer us, make ite easy and confortable
Grrrrr
I googled for a while about it
Found no defenitive answers yet

How I wish that the Music App on my iPad could work as fast and as sleek as the Remote App when connecting to my (VERY LARGE) Library.
Even with version 1.0, every time I had to connect to my Library, the response time was just a few seconds before I can see and scroll thru my Albums/Artists/etc (with Album Art and all).
With the Music App, I haven't being able to connect to my shared library since iOS 4.0 :-( And the limited times when successfully connected the response time was JUST awful.
Please 'Remote App Team' have a beer or two with the 'Music App Team' and share your expertise with them!!! I'm begging you!!! Or at least 'tweak' your App so it can stream the music to the iPad, so we can enjoy our shared libraries on it.
Today... After updating to iTunes 11, I ( 've ?) tried to connect the Music App to my Library via Home Sharing without success. So.. Again.. Please Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
Thanks!!!

Problems with iPad Music App in iOS 5

In iOS5 on my original iPad, the Music app is much more difficult to use. Right now a song is playing but I have a mostly black screen and no clear way to make the album art or lists of music visible. Any suggestions? I liked the iPod app before; this seems a major step backward.

Yes, this is how I usually do it as well, however it doesn't always behave as expected when I do what you describe in the last sentence. Instead of flipping to the white song list, it remains black and blank. The tiny album in the progress bar disappears as does the progress bar itself, however music continues to play. The buttons at the very bottom all cease to function. Only REW, PLAY/PAUSE, FWD and the volume function. Leaving the app and coming back doesn't clear it up. I have to hit the home button and then force quit the app in order to regain control. Here's a screen grab of what it looks like. Truly odd.

Why are the letters in the ipad music app mixed up?

So I have recently began putting music on my ipad and I love it. This is a minor problem, but it sort of bothers me a little.
Anyone with an Ipad that uses the music app would know that the songs are organized in alphabetical order, and at the beginning of each new letter of songs, there's a sort of divider with the letter on it. On my Ipad, the songs are in order, but in the middle of the C section, the D divider might just be sitting there. The dividers literally go:
A, B C, D,D, E, F, G, H I, J, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, S, T, U, Y, T, U, W, Y
And they're supposed to be in alphabetical order. With no repeating letters.
Any solutions? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!

Just checked mine, no problems. You may want to try resetting your iPad by holding the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Another option is to completely close the app by double tapping the home button to get the recent apps tray open, then tap and hold the music icon until it wiggles and then tap the x to delete.

IPad Music App in Landscape Mode ios 7

Why is there no cover wall in the music app on the iPad when I turn it to landscape like on the iPhone??
The page looks the same, so now I can only see a few albums at a time instead of the old music app which looks like iTunes.
I can't even view the "wall" of album covers like on iPhone and iPod.

This non-feature alone makes using the iPad to play music an experience completely devoid of pleasure. Seriously. I just don't use iPad to listen to music anymore.
I still have a 3GS iPhone so use that! Along with my MacBook, of course...
Anyway, have complained to Apple on their feedback page several times in the vain hope they may do something about it. I have an iPad with retina screen and really want to see ALL the albums set out in the grid view like iTunes on the Mac. Really, can't understand why this feature has disappeared.
If you read these forums Apple, please take note of the gnashing of teeth going on with regard to the music app in iOS7.
Oh, and please let us have the ability to delete artists, albums... not just single tracks.
Thanks.

IPad music app does not show track artists in compilations

Hello community,
i have a problem with my iPad's music app. When browsing compilations, it does not show the artist of each track like my iPhone does. Both devices are sync'ed with the same iTunes library, and the 'Part of a compilation' flag is set correctly to the corresponding tracks.
Please let me illustrate the problem with a few screenshots.
The iPhone shows this compilation correctly as 'Various Artists' and thus displays the track's artists in each line below:
In contrast, the iPad's music app does not seem to identify the compilation correctly. The artist is not shown as "Various Artists" like on the iPhone, but the artists of the first track is wrongly used instead. Furthermore, the artist of each track is not shown in the list on the right side:
The setting "Sort album by artist" is turned on on both devices.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you!

It's not you, it's the iPad's iOS. The Music app in iOS 5 for the iPad is horrendous with several UI fails:
- No category for Compilations
- Incorrect/ Missing Artist for Compilations
- No lyrics
- No indication of track number within a group of tracks (e.g. "18 of 37")
- Sporadic indication of which track is playing while looking at a list
Hopefully these things get corrected in iOS 6, but for now you'll have to bear with it. You can voice your concern here:

IPad music apps to sync with Logic

Hello.
Is there any way that some of the bought music apps on an iPad or iPhone can sync with Logic X like Rebirth for instance?
Peter

In iTunes pull down the iTuness menu and select About iTunes. Post back here what the version number is. Also tell us what version of OS X your computer is running. An iPad requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.8.

Ipad music app always starts with genius mixes

I am usind an iPad mini 16GB with iOS8 running the newest version. Every time I start the music app it fires up with the genius mix overview and not my last selection, e.g. artists listing. I subscribed to iTunes match with genius enabled.
I clearly recall iOS7 not acting like this. So my question is: Is this a bug or a feature or am I missing something.
THanks in advance, Sascha

Hi Caph1,
If you are having issues with your iPad's Music application always launching to the genius mix screen, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPad Music App in IOS 7 is such a crap, When you gonna update it ?

Guys Guys Guys, What happened to you ?
Since the ios7 1st update am Waiting for Music app to be updated. I liked iphone music app, and i thought i could get in my ipad also but sad !
since that day am waiting for music app update. In real words you guys f****d up the MUsic app. you should have make it better than iOS 6 but its such a crap i cant even think of opening it.
There are no any major Pros if you guys compare it with iOS 6 Music app and Cons are First of all App is not Good in Looks Second, there were no need to show album art in Songs List & Third, it could not show Now Playing screen when you tap on album art such as in Itunes desktop app.
Guys if you Cannot update the app then Please give us iOS 6 Music app back.

Agreed!!
The new Music app in iOS7 is horrible. Reduced functionality and the functionality that is there doesn't make intuitive sense.
My main issues/corrections:
1) Give the user an option to display, or not display, the large album art beside the Artist listing. The large album art beside each Artist takes up too much room and conveys no useful information.
2) Within each Artist allow the user to select a listing of the albums (as in iOS6). Scrolling through albums does not make sense. Allow the user to select from a list!
3) Within each Artist allow the user to sort the albums alphabetically. Sort the albums by title NOT date! Why sorting albums by date?
4) Within each Artist replace the selection to play all songs (as in iOS6). In iOS7 only option is to shuffle play the songs.
As it stands now in iOS7 the Music app has reduced functionality and is a horrible experience for the user.

IPad Music app- delayed start

I have a problem on my iPad (3) which has only started in the last week. Particularly when starting an audiobook, I can press play, and it take more then 2-3 minutes for the track to start. At the same time, I now have the issue where if I press a track to play, the one that plays in actually the track below on the list.
I have run updates and released more shape on the iPad, but this has not helped.
Anyone else experienced this, or have a solution?

Thanks. This got all of the artists to show up but the music app still crashes when I search the shared music library.
