Can't Access Music On iPhone

I opened up iTunes the other day and my library was gone. I tried to manual show iTunes where my music was and it still would not load into a library. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. Still no library, but when I manually showed it my Music folder, it loaded the music into my iTunes library. When I click on the "Music" and other choices under my iPhone tab, it will show me the music and such on my iPhone, but they are all grayed out. I cannot do anything with the music or videos, nor can I load any new music or videos onto my iPhone. Please, help!!!

In order to manually manage music and videos with your iPhone, you must select manually manage music and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
This provides for manually transferring music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone instead of syncing, and manually deleting music and videos from your iPhone instead of removing music and videos from your iPhone via the sync process.
Where is your iTunes library stored/located? Have you moved your iTunes library from the default location on your computer?

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu?

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

Old iTunes account?
You created a new iTunes account instead of updating the old account with new info?'

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

Can't play music with iPhone 4

iTunes 10.5, iMac 10.7.2, iPhone 4 software 5.0
After the updates, I can't listen music via iPhone. After clicking the play button, no sound comes out and progress bar for music does not move, but the play button stays 'on". I can listen music through my iPhone from iTune store, I can listen audio books. I thought that it could be due to some error during sync, but after re sync ing whole music library, nothing has changed. I also have iPad, but that works well with new update.
Anybody has any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem with the 3GS. Podcasts work fine. Books, fine.
Music I downloaded from itunes, I haven't checked it all, but a spot check looks like that music works.
Music imported from CD? Doesn't seem to work. Similar experience as above of it appearing to play, but the status bar doesn't move and there's no sound.
Or, it says it's playing a song, but it's really playing another song that I downloaded from itunes at some point by a totally different artist...
move info to icloud? HA. Not a chance.
Anyone have suggestions as to how to fix the music problem?

Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.

How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

Many of the tunes have exclamation marks by them and iTunes says they "cannot be found". If I do a search throughout my computer I find the songs. But it is very inconvenient.

any itunes purchased music can be transferred from phone to pc via hitting the "transfer purchases" option when u right click on the phone under devices in itunes on the computer when it is plugged in. any non-itunes purchased music is stuck on the phone and cannot be transferred to the computer. u will have to load it onto the computer from the original source or from the old computer.

HT204389 can I access siri on iphone 4?

can I access siri on iphone 4?

Sorry, its just not available on the iPhone 4 and it is not just a software upgrade. The iPhone 4 does not have the noise canceling chip that is needed for Siri. It's a hardware issue.

Itunes match says songs are all uploaded but can't access them on iPhone

I signed up for itunes match last weekend, and went through the long process of matching and uploading songs. It finally finished today, specifically saying that my library is available in the cloud. But I can't access any of my library on my iPhone, even with itunes match turned on. Since itunes match is fairly new I haven't come across anything that would help. If someone out there could help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

OK, anything that says "ineligible" or "error" is NOT in the cloud. Itunes match may have told you that the matching process was complete, but all it was telling you was that the SESSION was complete. Only items with a "matched" or "uploaded" icon next to them are in the cloud. So this is your real problem. Your iPhone is telling you the truth.
It's clear you have some reading to do, followed by some work to on your iTunes library, but all is not lost. you can make copies of most ineligible songs within iTunes, re-run Match and get the eligible copies into the cloud. I could walk you through it, but Apple's been good enough to provide support documents, which I'll link you to at the bottom of this message.
The most important thing you need to do first, is to figure out what kind of files you have that are ineligible. Keep in mind that iTunes Match only accepts music, not audiobooks, not music videos (except those purchased through the iTunes store), so some things in your iTunes library aren't going to work no matter what. If you have any Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected tracks, those will work, provided the computer you are using for iTunes Match is authorized to play them. Usually the tracks that people find are ineligible are low bitrate MP3s - songs they didn't purchase through iTunes. Some other music file types also are ineligible.
In both cases, the solution is to highlight those songs, go to the Advanced menu in iTUnes and select "Make AAC version." What I do is let it make the copies, then without clicking anywhere in iTunes I hit the delete key. This will delete the originals, but leave the new copies. You can opt to just have them removed from your library, so they simply will no longer show up in iTunes (preferable until you are sure the copies are ok))
That's the short story. Here's a link to the support documents.

HT1766 How can I transfer music from iphone 4 to iphone 4s without using computer syncying or icloud?

I have an iphone 4 with music downloaded from my Macbook which was originally downloaded from CDs. I now have an iphone 4s that will not sync with my old Macbook because it does not have the most recent version of itunes. Macbook is too old for new itunes. I want to transfer music on iphone 4 to iphone 4s. icloud will only transfer music to 4s that was originally purchsed through itunes and will not transfer CD music from iphone 4. How can I transfer this music to my new phone?

The Mac version of the iPhone PC suite supports to backup iPhone music to PC and iTunes with ID3 Tag Info preserved. Try it.
