After i restored my iphone all my music is there but has a pause symbol next to it and you can't play it

I reasently got a new Iphone 5 and restored it so it had all my contacts, pictures etc. on it. It worked and all my photos etc.are there but all my music won't play.
It is all there but faded with a pause symbol with a circle around it, almost as if it hasn't down loaded yet.

Hi marcella65,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The playlists with the cog next to them are Smart Playlists. Please read over the following information in the link below that discusses creating and editing Smart Playlists.

Have a great day,

After I restored my iPhone, all my apps got deleted. What now?

Earlier today, I connected my iPhone to iTunes via USB and was prompted to restore my iPhone before I could disconnect. So I proceeded and after the process was finished, I retrieved my music and photo files from the back-up. _**Now to get to my point:**_ after I restored the iPhone, all of my applications got deleted, including the one I purchased. Is there any way I can retrieve them back, or do I have to install each one manually? What about the ones I bought? Is there any way I can get those back without having to buy it again?

This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
The backup does not include any iTunes content - music, podcasts, video, or 3rd party apps. All iTunes content including 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. After downloading/installing an app with your iPhone, the app should be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
You can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

When I restore my iphone, all my music and ring tone are missing. Does Backing up by iphone backup my music and ring tone?

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

Apps (like other synced media like music) are not included in the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup if the apps are not in the iTunes library there are no apps to restore to the iPod.
Redownload the apps into your iTunes library.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
And then restore from backup.
Make sure that in iTunes>Preferences>Devices the box that say "Prevent iPods..." is checked otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the previous backup (with your app data) might be overwritten.

On my ipod it deleted all my music but when i plug my ipod in all the music is there but it wont let me play it. how do i get my music back?

i plugged my ipod in and i tried to play a song and a grey explanation mark showed up and it wouldn't play and when i looked at my ipod it didnt have any music on it, when before it had like more than 500 songs. but now everytime i plug it in all my music shows up but it wont play and it only says i dont have any music on my ipod. i really dont want to have to put ALL those songs back on and im hoping there is a way i can fix it.

The ! in iTunes next to a song: The song can’t be located; it may have been moved or deleted
To find the music files see:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do I restore an iPhone 4 if it is disababled, but has not been synced to itunes on any computer?

So I was with a bunch of friends and they managed to take my iPhone 4 and disable it to the point where it says "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes." I haven't synced my iPhone to iTunes on a computer yet, so when i do connected it to iTunes it says i have to enter the password on the iPhone, but i can only emergency call people. How do I restore it without iTunes?

Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.
If you can't do that you will have to follow this procedure: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
This will restore the phone, but you will lose all content.

Loaded itunes onto a new pc. none of my playlists show. all my music is there, but my previously created playlists are not.

I loaded iTunes onto a new computer. All of my music shows up, but none of my playlists show (ex. Rudys Shuffle, Rudys Nano, Purchased, etc.). What do I have to do to get these playlists back? Thank you.

What procedure did you follow to move the content from your old computer to the new one?

I just downloaded itunes and all my music is there but the files won't fit onto my computer so now i can't play the 12000 songs i have n my library y isn't this possible if all the songs are on the cloud ?this is ridiculous ...

i got a new laptop because my old one won't turn on anymore .i can only sync my account to 5 computers so how do i unsync the account from my old laptop if i can't use my old laptop ?and i have over 12000 songs that i now have to individually drag and drop onto my computer that doesn't hold that much space because none of my songs will play because there is no file on computer to back it up .all of my songs are saved in the cloud y isn't that enough to make my songs play ?so now i have a list of songs that won't play on my itunes that won't let me use my account because it's the 6th computer on my account .it's kindda pointless .

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Recently I can no longer play music on my iPhone 5. music is listed but just skips around.

does anyone know a fix?

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!
Sincerely,

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4 I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone to factory settings but didn't back up prior to restore?

How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?

If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

After i restored my iphone all my music is there but has a pause symbol next to it and you can't play it
