Cannot access music on ipad

When I try to open the ipod function on my ipad it opens and then immediately closes. I'm not sure what is causing this and it has never happened before. Any ideas on what is causing this?

Cannot access music store - error message 404

ok- i guess i'm looking for an explanation more than a solution. while trying to download a song (as usual) this morning i received an error message for the first time ever. "cannot access music store. please try again later. 404" ... for 2 hours i searched the net for a solution, checked my firewall, even joined this forum. right before posting this message again, i tried to download the song so i'd be able to explain the error message in this posting. but itunes decided to work.
my question-- does itunes sometimes time out because of heavy traffic? will this problem lessen if i upgrade to a newer version? (btw- how do i do that? i checked off "dont remind me again" when the pesky reminder would pop up... now i want to upgrade.)

Hi - I have the same problem. With the additional wrinkle that I can't close iTunes when it can't connect to the Music store. I have to use Task Manager to kill it. I am totally fed up with Apple for their lack of support on this. However, I have had one thought though: I notice that iTunes registers itself with Windows Firewall as an exceptional program that is allowed to receive incoming network connections. I don't object to that - but the thing is I am using a network modem which has its own built-in firewall. If iTunes has to be able to receive incoming network connections, don't I have to configure the network modem's firewall to treat it as an exception too? I have just done a search for "iTunes Firewall" in Google and it came up with loads of promising looking stuff. I will investigate further.

HT1386 I synced my Macbook with Iphone4s, but cannot access music when I launch itunes on iphone. I don't even see my library on iphone. The usage option in settings shows that there is music copied on iPhone. I just can't access it. Could anyphone please

I am a new iTunes user. I have synced my iphone 4s to macbook using iTunes, but I cannot access music in iPhone. I cannot access library when I launch iTunes on my iPhone. When I go to settings->usage->music, I see that there is enough music in the phone to suggest that music has been synced with iTunes. I just don't know how to access it. Could someone pleas help?

If you want to drag and drop then you would have to select Manually Manage Music.
Otherwise, just sync your music.

Cannot load music to iPad. there are no devices listed

cannot load music to iPad. there are no devices listed

Thank you. Thank you. Now my IPod shows up in devices and has synced. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Problem still exists in that I just imported a lot of my cd's into my ITunes library in ACC format but the IPod will not sync the new stuff. I've checked that the IPod has the latest software and recently updated to the newest version of ITunes. After getting the IPod to sync I get a warning that a lot of files could not be found. They all show up in ITunes and play fine.
Is there a way to identify the location to the IPod where these songs are. They are in the same location as everything else on my external hard drive. I've spent hours trying to resolve this and would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks again.

Cannot access music purchased with an earlier email ID

I cannot access music purchased with an earlier email that is no longer valid. Do you know how I sync all my e-mail addresses under one ID?

Perhaps iTunes Store Support could help you:

... but the key to success will very likely be to figure out that password. Then you would be able to authorize that account in iTunes.

New macbook, old ipod touch.... cannot access music!!

I recently bought the macbook pro for college. I have an iPod touch, which is basically attached to me at all times. I am trying to open up my library on this computer but it continually says that this ipod is synced with another computer and I cannot access my music, add, or delete anything. How do I sync this ipod with my new computer, and/or UNsync the other computer (family computer which I will not have access to come august)
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ipod touch will sync with ONE computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer. This is the way it is designed.
You should move all of your info/music/pics/etc from the old computer to the new one first, then sync.

Cannot access iBookstore via iPad since iOS7

I cannot access iBookstore from my iPad since updating to iOS7. I've even restored the iPad, uninstalled and reinstalled the app - no luck. I've checked that there are no restrictions to the iBookstore. I can press the store button from within the app, but all I see is a blank screen. The search option is available in the top right corner, and the "Featured", "Top Charts", "Top Authors" and "Purchased" options at the bottom.
Help!

Success!
I found out that the issue was "cookies". I had in the Safari setting, "Always" in the Block Cookies section.

I cannot access music in lock screen

After updating to ios 7, using the control panel I cannot play music from my lock screen. I can press play and skip all I want and it will not do anything.
I have to unlock my phone and go into music to play the music. Once locked, the small music player at the top of the lock screen comes up but I cannot use this either, same problem. It also doesn't respond to my FM tuner remote anymore.

I'm having the same issue. It's very annoying as I listen to music religiously and having to unlock and select the music app to change songs or turn music on quickly was not an issue with my 4.

Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.
