Cannot play music

I have an Iphone 4 and my daughter has an Ipod. I started receiving all her apps she downloaded as we shared the same apple Id (email). I changed her id to her own email and ever since then I have been having problems. I cannot play any of my music which I purchased through Itunes from my iphone. She had her Ipod prior to me having the phone and it appears all my music was purchased through her id (which was the same as mine originnally). When I click on song all it does is keep scrolling through all the songs that I previously purchased. I have tried resetting the phone that didn't work. I have the wifi on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

hiya!
is the little diamond-shaped thingy moving to the right when you try to play a song? or is it staying firmly stuck to the left?
what is your precise itunes version number? to check, go "help > about itunes" and wait for the version to scroll up from the bottom. for example, mine says "itunes 6.0.4.2".
love, b

Installed latest version of iTunes, now I cannot play music through my Airport express. I'm seeing the message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "living room". The network connection failed.

I have the same problem - did you solve it?

I cannot play music from my library on either my external drive or my laptop - keep getting same message "___ song (all of them) could not be used because the original file could not be found. I have tried changing the path in prefernces many times.

I cannot play music from my libray on either my external drive or my laptop. I keep getting the same message - "___ song (all of them) could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have changed the path several times under preferences and it still won't recognize any songs from either my laptop hard drive or my external drive. I can't play any music at all.

I think I've fixed this on my machine. If you look in the ITunes folder there is a subfolder called Previous iTunes Libraries. In my case for some reason this contained the one which had always worked and a new one was in the main folder. I closed iTunes, deleted the new one, and moved the old one back to the main folder, then opened iTunes. It then rebuilt the library and it plays correctly. Hope it works for you.

I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please

You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

I cannot play music when connect to stereo via 30-pin connector. Help?

Since I first upgraded my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to iOS 4.x, I cannot play music when connect to external speakers via the 30-pin connector. I've tried several different speaker systems, but none work. My iPod freezes after making my song selection and doesn't do anything until after rebooting. Even then, it just goes through the same cycle if I select another song. My iPod is 100% functional until I try to plug it in to an external speaker system.
Keep in mind that it worked up until iOS 3.1.3.

Sounds like iOS 4 broke the compatibility with your accessory, something that sometimes happens with major OS changes. Your only hope is to see if the accessory manufacturer has an update to make it compatible with iOS 4, or downgrade your Touch back to 3.1.3.

I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it. Update it to IOS 7.1.1

I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? Thanks!

Hello Turintest2,
I am having a similar problem. I have over 4000 songs giving me this error. I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them. I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user. Is there a fix for me? Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
Here's a shot of my preferences:
Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash. However, if I go here:
Then I find the music there as well. (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
Please help! I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one.

I can download purchased music but cannot play music from the Cloud

Is there a problem playing music from the Cloud? I cannot play music with iTunes (PC) and iOS 6.0.1, but I can download purchased music form iTunes Store. Maybe there is a problem with server?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reaosn you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases

My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this.

My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this. If siri and alarm work fine, it cant be a internal sound system problem, and it is just for music without headphones plugged in or any other sound system.

Hi shanny202.
Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

Cannot play music over bluetooth on BMW Connected system

I tried to connect my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 (haven't updated to latest yet) to my fathers BMW system. It connects and pairs, and I can see my contacts and make calls, but I cannot play music. There is no option for anything regarding music or media, and simply playing something in the musicplayer on the iPhone while connected to the cars bluetooth only plays it using the phone speakers like normal.
I have a bluetooth stereo in my kitchen that works as soon as I connect to it. Only have to start any media player and the sound goes over the bluetooth. What am I missing here?

IPhone cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

Hey all,
This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?
Bill

The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.
