Downloaded audio not visible in Music app on iPad 2?

Hello,
Has anyone had this issue reported from students using iPads to access iTunes U material? If so, what did you do about it?
A student reported not being able to find downloaded lecture audio files from our private iTunes U site. When he goes to find he files in the Music app, only one is there under the iTunes U section from a whole course.
I am able to replicate the issue on my iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1. You can find the files on the iPad via a Spotlight search.
If I use iTunes on my PC or Mac to download the same files, they are all visiible in my iTunes U library so I don't think it's our iTunes U a setup but the Music app on the iPad not having the library database set correctly after the audio is downloaded.
I did an extraction of the UbiquitousMetadata.sqlitedb from my iPad to see what the data looked like.
The value of a key field for a file the is visible in the Music app looks like:
PHAR 709 - Audio-Shenandoah University-24 Skin Cancers and UV Protection (2010)
Some values for the key field that can not be reached via the iTune U section in the Music app are:
-Shenandoah University-03 Anemia II
-Shenandoah University-02 Anemias I
-Shenandoah University-01 Review of Normal Gastrointestinal Anatomy & Physiology
I don't know enough about the interals of the Music app database but it looked like the keys aren't formed quite right (i.e. missing the course # in the key) and that could cause the files to not show up in the Music app. Not sure if the iTunes app sets those ot the Music app.
thanks for any feedback,
~Leigh

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 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Music not playing in music app on IPAD 2

My iPad 2 is just not playing music in the music app. I can click play, it says it is playing but the bar doesnt move to indicate playback and there is no sound. I've tried closing the app and restarting the device. Does anyone have any ideas?

Does the EQ setting affect only audio played from the Music app?

Does the EQ setting in Settings -> Music affect only audio played from the Music app or does it also affect any other audio? Specifically, I'd like to know if the setting is applied to audio podcasts that are played from Downcast. Thanks!

They will only affect the Music app.

Is there a way to increase the font size for the "songs" and "artists" lists in the new music app for iPad 2 (iOS 5)? It is too small for me.

Is there a way to increase the font size for the "songs" and "artists" lists in the "music" app for iPad 2 (iOS 5)? It is smaller than the previous version.

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..
Ricky

Music app in iPad defaults back to itunes radio

Why does the music app in iPad default back to itunes radio every time i open it? That's very annoying. Can the default behavior be changed?

I discovered a work around to the problem.
I made a backup copy of the app file from "Mobile Applications" and then deleted the app from within iTunes and told it to move the file to the trash can. I then selected "Transfer Purchases" and the app was transfered from the iPhone back to the "Mobile Applications" folder. The new app file's size is larger (+40MB) than the original one so it must contain the additional content. This seems like a serious bug in iTunes with in-app purchases but it's not clear what the root cause is. It could be a problem with all in-app purchases or only for apps that have been updated to now include in-app purchase when the prior versions did not. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this issue with in-app purchases.
Any suggestions on the best way to report this issue to Apple ?
Thanks,
E

Besides the pixel issue any other reason not to use iphone apps in ipad?

besides the pixel issue any other reason not to use iphone apps on ipad??

There are no technical reasons why you can't use them (unless they are some of the few apps that require full phone capability which you won't be able to install). -If you are happy with either using them in an iPhone sized portion of the screen, or with the pixelated 2x size, then use them. I use quite a few apps from my iPhone and iPod Touch, and I've got used to the pixelisation and I don't really notice it as much as I used to.

Ringtone apps - Downloaded, but not to the Music folder so I can't use them

I'm a little frustrated. I downloaded a ringtone app and as per instructions, I should be able to access the ringtones in the music folder. they downloaded, but they are not in the music folder so I can't use them and I need some new ringtones!! Please help!

I don't find an app called "ultimate ringtone"...must not be available to me. You might want to read the reviews to see if anyone has hints there. You also might want to contact the developer to find out what you need to do with their app.

Music app on Ipad not playing off Itunes match

The music app for my Ipad2 worked perfectly playing songs off ICloud until today. Suddenly, when I select a song to play, instead of downloading it runs through every song on the album without actually playing any music. Any ideas what's wrong?

Reconnect your iPad to your Mac and after it syncs, do not disconnect. Click once on the iPad on the left side of the screen. Your iPad will open in iTunes. Click on the Music tab and you can then either check sync all music, or you can check sync selected songs playlists. Either choose sync all music, or if you choose to select the music, you scroll down and choose the artists, albums, playlists or genres you want to sync. You'll see your memory go down as you choose what music you want. Once you're done choosing the music, on the right hand bottom of your iTunes screen, click Apply, then Sync to create a current backup with your music on your iPad. Then disconnect, open iPod on your iPad and your music will be there.

Where is the Genius Mix download button in IOS 7 Music app?

In the IOS 7 Music app there is no longer a download button to get your Itunes Genius mixes downloaded to your phone. What's up with that? Is there another way to do it? There used to be a button at the top left to download the Genius mix from your itunes Match. Now it's absent. Not really into streaming music when I'm not on Wifi because I'm on a 2GB plan. Any insight? Thanks!

Plus, since my alarm clock app uses the functionality of the music player, I can no longer tell the app to randomly play from a certain playlist. I have to add the songs individually there. No "add all songs" on the phone.
What a pain.

Itunes radio not showing on music app

i have the iphone 5 and updated to ios 7 but the Iradio icon is no longer available? Re- startedthe phone but didnt work...

Hi fred,
Here are a couple of easy things to try first:
Close all apps (including your iTunes): Double click the Home key and then swipe up on the thumbprints that display above the icons
Reset again: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds)
Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the radio shows up in your Music app
If that does not resolve the issue, then do a full restore using iTunes on your computer. Be sure to do a backup before restoring:

My downloads are not appearing in music

After adding music (either by CD or by itunes purchase) my songs are not appearing in Music.

I'm having the same issue. Just downloaded two songs and they show up everywhere but the iTunes music library. No matter what I try, I can't make them show up there. Never had the problem before today.
