Cover flow Causing iOS5 Music App Crash

Since I've updated to iOS5 on my iPhone4 cover flow in the music app jitters and if I swipe too quickly it becomes increasingly laggy and not smooth at all then it ends up crashing the music app. Any ideas?

Same problem here. I don't use cover flow but just play one song. Goes fine with downloaded songs but with imported cd's (and their covers) it crashes. I've now downloaded the artwork for those albums and now it works fine. Apples way of saying you should download from iTunes instead of buying cd's I guess...

IOS5 Music App crashing when going to podcasts

My music app keeps crashing whenever I select the "podcast" tab in the music app.
Here have been the steps I've taken so far:
1. Connect to iTunes, remove podcasts from phone
2. Upon doing this, the music app crashes instantly upon opening
3. If I select "reset all settings" on the phone, the music app will start back up - but continue to crash when navigating to podcast tab
Notes
+ If I select my computer library (home sharing) within the music app, the podcasts show up and play fine (pulling from my computer)
+ The "Muisc +" app accesses all my music and plays fine (but I can't get to podcasts from within that app)
+ I can use voice commands to play a music - and skip forward/back from the lock screen
Hardware:
iPhone 4, ATT, 32GB
iOS 5.0.1
Any help/suggestions?

I'm still having this issue - wanted to add some additional details:
+if i search on my iPhone (swipe all the way to the left home screen), several podcasts show up; even after syncing and telling iTunes to sync 1 most recent podcast or none at all
+I can play these podcasts from the "search" menu, but when I hit back, it brings me to the default music app tab, and if i tab to the podcast tab (even with the podcast playing), the app will crash
+in iTunes, when I set my podcasts to only keep the most recent one, then sync my phone - it will pull these random podcasts back into iTunes
+The date on these podcasts is 12/31/00 (even though they are from 2011)
It seems like the "12/31/00" labeled podcasts are impossible to delete and causing my music app to crash.

Music app crashes constantly after iOS5 update and won't restart.

I have an iPhone 4 that I updated to iOS5 last week. The first time I tried the new Music App, it ran very sluggishly. I then connected it to my JVC car stereo via the dock connector (Made for iPod), and the Music App crashed. After crashing, it just shows a blank white screen when you try to start the app, then crashes again after about ten seconds.
I can delete all the music from the iPhone via iTunes, and then re-add it, which seems to work for getting the Music App working again. But as soon as I try to connect it to the dock connector on my car stereo, it crashes again as previously described. Grrr.

No answers, only wanted to commiserate—I had a similar problem, and now my iPhone 5 running iOS 5 is showing the blank white screen for the Music app every time. No music showing anywhere, even when NOT connected to the dock in my car. I was wondering if the bug was related to the number of songs/size of files (since I have a crapload of music). This has to be happening to others...
My Music App screen:

Cover flow is very slow and crashes on iOS 5 or is it just my iPod Touch?

Basically, everytime I use cover flow on my music and scroll around it laggs and crashes. The simple solution is to not use it I know but I'm just wondering if you guys are having the same problem.

Same here on my 3GS. Found that restoring a second time the phone helps,no more crash,but still very slow and freezing,compare to flawless response on previous IOS3-4.
Note that looking at diagnostics reports,it have lot's of "LowMemory" and "awdd" messages with dates corresponding to the times is was using cover flow.
Even outside of cover flow,my 3GS registers lags corresponding "LowMemory" reports quite often.
I enable then sharing to Apple of those diagnostics on the phone,hope they fix this soon!

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.

Configure icons in iOS5 Music app?

OK, this has me feeling stupid: on the iPhone, when you open the iPod app, you see icons at the bottom for various views (Playlists, Artists, etc.). When you click 'More', you have an option to edit, and you can rearrange which views are displayed, and in what order. I put Podcasts first, since that's my most frequent view—and, in fact, the only "music" on my iPad is Podcasts.
For the life of me, I can't find any equivalent configuration in the iOS5 Music app on the iPad. Is this just an oversight? Am I stuck always clicking "More" to see my Podcasts, even if I have no playlists or artists/tracks other than podcasts?

You are not alone. I feel the same way. I also only listen to Podcasts on my iPad. I have no music synced. I hope that they add the ability to edit the icons (like you can on the iPhone - even with iOS 5) to the iPad. I hope this is a simple oversight and not a design decision. If this is intentional it is a very bad idea.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help. This is preventing me upgrading the iPad2 to iOS5 for a blind man I work with. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

IOS 8.3 Music app Crashes after skipping songs

I am having issues after updating to iOS 8.3 on a 128gb iPhone 6. The Music app launches and will work, but will crash if I skip about 2 songs. It seems I can get it to relaunch if I force quit the app then reboot the phone. However it works for a few songs then crashes all over again.
Anyone else having issues with the Music app?

The music app crashes when using playlists all the time.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 6 64 Gb and the IOS 8.3.
It just happens when using the "Intelligent playlists".
First case:
Enter a playlist.
Click on a song.
The song is playing.
Click once >> and the next song starts playing.
Click again on >> and the app crashes.
Second case:
Enter a playlist.
The choosen song is playing.
Click on the top left < to back and the app crashes again.
Third case:
If you let the playlist playing without forwarding or backwarding or click on < (top left) the playlist seems to run ok.
Solutions I tried with no success:
I made a full restore of the iPhone 6 and no solution.
I deleted all the playlists and I created them again and no solution.
It seems to me that it happens more often when using .m4a files but I'm not sure about it.

Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
Step by step on the iPad:
- delete all music on your device:
Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
- set itunes match off
- run music app
- give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
- go to settings app again
- music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
- open music app
- wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
- go to settings app again
- music settings - show all your music on
- go to music app
- wait till it download list of all your music
Done
Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

After updating to ios5, my music app crashes my phone

Before updating my iPhone 3Gs, my iPod app worked fine both in the app screen directly and from the lock screen. Now, after the new iOS5 update has been applied, whenever I use the new music app for an extended period of time, the music starts glitching and it crashes the iPhone causing it to reboot. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? All the music on my iPhone has been purchased and uploaded to my phone via iTunes so there are no outside sources that the music files came from and thus no possible corrupt data. I'm confused.

I have actually since found a solution to my problem and now have a pretty seamless iphone 3gs running iOS5. The problem turned out to be what appears to be some faulty album information in one o my albums. Lord only knows what exact part of the album was faulty but either way it's fixed now. I discovered said faulty album by merely systematically navigating to each song in my library until my iPhone crashed. Once i found one song that caused it to die, i checked the other songs in the album. Turns out the whole album caused. My iPhone to crash. I deleted the album out of y library and now everything is working just the way it's supposed to. So it is likely you guys are also experiencing a similar issue with possible faulty ir corrupt song data. I would go through at some point and check out every song you have installed to your phone and see if you can weed out the bad songs.
About the seemingly misplaced album art, i had that issue as well for a long time i was working with a pc that was running windows xp at the time. I recently switched over to a mac mini as my source to sync my phone with and now all my album art work is right as rain. I'v heard this is a common occurence among pc users and i would be willing to bet that if you can get your paws on a mac and sync it up with a mac, all your albins will look the way they're supposed to.
By the way just incase there is one specific album that is causing th problem, the devious album on mine was was one of the EPs released by Skrillex. I actually went to itunes to doublecheck what the album name was and it's actually been removed. This may actually be what caused the iPhone failure. But anyway if you have that EP that has songs like weekends and f***ing die on it then that'ms the one i'm talking about.
Hope this helps.

4th gen. iPod touch restarts when using Cover Flow while playing music

I was just listening to music the past few months ever since I got my iPod touch back in August (and I love it) but for the past week I have been having this annyoing issue when I tilt my iPod touch to use Cover Flow. When I tilt the iPod while playing a song, the Cover Flow (and everything else on the screen) freezes and the music skips much like a CD skipping, then it restarts itself with the dotted circle loading symbol.
I am using a 4th generation iPod touch upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.
I have also noticed it only does this on certain albums by the way; some do it, while most others don't. I think the issue may be with the artwork as it's custom artwork and not artwork downloaded from iTunes.
Any help with this if possible? Thanks.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Music app crashing

Since updating my iPad Mini to iOS 7, the music app has exhibited the annoying issue of crashing every time I try to play two specific songs. They play for a second become cutting off and dumping me at the home screen.
The songs triggering the issues are Accept's Metal Heart and Midnight Mover, both purchased on iTunes, and with lyrics and sorting data added. I am at a loss as to the cause, but I suspect it is a bug. anyone else having this problem?

Try and close all apps in Multitask Screen.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

Help required with Audiobooks on iOS5 Music app

I have just upgraded my iPad to the latest OS which changed the ipod app to the new Music app. Unfortunately there are a couple of issues in the Audiobooks feature.
1) when you listen to an audiobook, it no longer moves automatically from one file to the next (like a playlist). It gets to the end of the file and stops. This particularly annoying when it is a book that is split into 2 minute files. I have looked for an option in case it is a configurable feature but can not find it.
2) for some of my audiobooks it has listed the files in a random order so the story does not flow in the right order. I do not understand what is causing this.
I have search the apple website and there does not seem to be a way to raise a bug report. Any thoughts on whether this is a configuration problem on my iPad or whether it is the new software.

Music app crashes with IOS 8.3 after playing two songs

I just submitted this bug report to Apple:
I have a auto update smart playlist based on zero rated tracks with an album rating of 3 stars or higher. I play this playlist on random and rate the tracks as I listen to them. Since updating to iOS 8.3 the music app will play two tracks (which I have rated during the play) and upon the completion of the second track will crash or close out and return me to the iOS home screen. This is repeatable. I have music matched switched off and the playlist is freshly updated from WiFi update from my Mac.
Has anyone else experience something similar where the music app will close repeatedly after only playing a couple of songs?

Hi
I'm also having all the same problems mentioned earlier, ever since my update to 8.3.
Having tried deleting "5 star" playlist, recreating and then re-syncing, does nothing!!
As per ToolMan7x6, I can play from "songs" , "albums" or " artists" via shuffle or regular play with no problems, on my iPhone 5S, but as I can't listen to the circa 3500 songs I have on my phone all day in shuffle mode, this is driving me nuts!!
Any suggestions would much be appreciated
iPhone 5c (iOS 8.3 - wish I hadn't done it!!!)
