HT1386 My music app displays "no music" after I download songs

Wen I purchase music from iTunes they do not appear in my music app after downloading them on my iPad 4 but via iCloud they do appear and are downloaded to my other (iphone 5) devices. I am also able to see all the songs I have on iCloud on my iPad 4 however I am not able to download them to the music app. After download is complete I click on the music app and it displays "no music".

Try this first. Close the music app completely and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't fix it, my next recommendation is to backup your iPad and restore it. I have seen a number of posts like yours in the past couple of weeks, and after much experimentation trying other fixes, the one thing that always seems to work is to restore the software.

When you purchase extra cloud storage, does that allow more storage for music, apps, and so forth to be downloaded?

So only documents? it doesnt store pictures, videos, or any of that stuff? or it doesnt store settings to your applications? I just want to know how exactly iCloud can effectively help me with storage because I only have a 16 gb ipod 4s. I have already decided I will not download any music onto it or videos

My music app shows it's still playing a song but it's playing next song without finishing the last song.

Since I had my iPhone 5S (I now have a 6 plus), I've had a problem with my iPhone Music app showing that it's playing certain songs but towards the end, it jumps to the next track, but without finishing the one it was playing. The music bar doesn't change - it shows as if it was still playing the former song. It happens randomly with certain songs and it appears all my playlists have been affected by this. I've restored the phone and restored both an iCloud backup (to rule out software issues that iTunes is copying over into the phone) and an iTunes restore from backup. I've also deleted entire albums and redownloaded them right onto the phone, hitting the exact same snag. I've also restored the phone and started it as a new install and hit the exact same snag. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
This is an 8G black Nano.

IOS 8.2 music app displaying wrong artist for songs

I've been very unhappy with iOS 8.2. After updating my iPhone 6 to 8.2, I noticed a problem in the music app. Some of my songs have the wrong artist name displayed. In some cases, all of the songs by an artist display the wrong name. For example I have songs by the artist Wings. On one of their albums, They went under another name for a couple of songs, The Country Hams, and I have the album artist listed as Wings. But, after the update, all of the songs by Wings on every album have the artist name as The Country Hams, even though that name is used on only 2 songs on one album. When I search by artist in the app, Wings is no longer listed as an artist. When I go to The Country Hams, all of the songs by Wings are listed under that name. A similar problem occurs with other artists as well, whether the songs are purchased or not. Nothing I did would fix the problem. I tried changing the tags in iTunes, re-syncing, and restoring the phone. Nothing. I synced the songs to my iPod, and the information was correct, so I know the problem is not with my iTunes Library or the tags. Eventually, I succumbed to downgrading back iOS 8.1.3, and restoring the phone. Everything's back to normal. The problem is 8.2. I hope this is fixed with the next update, otherwise I'll just have to stay with 8.1.3. This is very frustrating.

After iOS7 update I cannot launch the music app. It crashes after a few seconds of white screen. What to do?

Just updated my iPhone 5 (16g) to iOS7 and now I cannot launch the music app anymore.
It opens and then just crashes after a few seconds of white screen.
Also If I go to Settings General About the phone crashes all the time after just a few seconds. :-(

The same for me. iPhone 4S, itunes match and upgrade to ios7 by air.
So what we have:
1) Music app does not launch (white screen then close)
2) About screen crashes (I guess once it tries to calculate music space)
3) Spotlight does not show any results (no care what I set to search in in the preferences)
4) iTunes Match slider can not be set to Off. However, it is possible to logout from AppleID, then it off. But this does not change the situaton at all
5) Podcast app does not launch
I tried to reboot, to sign in with another Apple ID, to turn off itunes Match, to reset all preferences. Nothing helps.
Things to try:
- reset all preferences and content
- reinstall ios7 with itunes from scratch
- switch to windows phone

Audiobooks in the "music" app display tracks in alphabetical, not actual track order

Since updating my iPad 1 to iOS 5.0.1 my audiobooks (Teaching Company) display in the "music" app in alphabetical, not actual track order. They display correctly in iTunes from my synced computer. I've tried designating them as compilations and not as compilations, and either way, the same result. Further, when I hit play on the first track listed, it does not go to the second track, rather it just stops.

Music app displaying wrong content in iOS 8.1.2

The music app on my iPhone 5 operating on iOS 8.1.2 is displaying the wrong content. When I browse by artist it will always display the songs for the first artist I chose, even when I choose another. For example: I go to "Artists", choose "ACDC", and those songs appear, but if I go back and choose a different artist, say "Beach Boys", it still displays the ACDC songs. No matter which new artist I select, the same ACDC songs will appear. It does the same thing if I go to "Genre" and browse by artist there. I've tried plugging my phone into my computer and syncing, but it doesn't help. This is very troublesome because sometimes I want to listen to music by artist but I cannot see the correct songs!
Please help.

Had the same problem with upgrading to 8.0.2 and then having app updates occur while syncing with iTunes - although just for the iPhone not iPad - not sure what I did differently if anything. The badge number on the phone was wrong until I got an over-the-air update notification which reset the badge number. I uploaded the app over-the-air and now there is no badge number (I would assume until the next update). Will try a sync again with iTunes to see if it was something new with iTunes - or just an odd combination of updating to 8.0.2 in conjunction with app updates.

Xperia Z: Music app not working well after update to Lollipop

Hi, the music app isn't working well after I update my phone to Lollipop, all the album art are lost and the music info are messed up. I tried to add album art and edit the music info as well, but after a while, the problem comes back again. Can anyone help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Music -> Force Stop, Uninstall updates, Clear data and restart your phone.
- Go to Play store and re-update your Music app.

I can't hear music through 'Music' app on my iPhone after IOS7 - but I can hear YouTube and Italk? Help

After upgrading to IOS7 I can't hear my music in the "Music" app either through my head phones or through my phone - I can hear it in YouTube and iTalk or videos that I view online... Does anyone know why??? Thanks.

Why are you using two accounts? That is most likely creating the conflict. Try picking ONE ID, then try downloading a new app from the App Store on that ID and see if your other apps work.

Music App playlists are wonky after 7.0.6. update

After updating my iPhone to 7.0.6 I'm encountering two issues w/ Music app playlists.
1st: If I manually select (touch to play) a song the app plays the one two down from it. Example: if I have Song 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in a playlist and touch song 3 song 5 plays.
2nd: When organizing a brand new playlist the song I drag from the bottom of the list sometimes either disappears or duplicates itself elsewhere in the playlist, i.e., I end up without the song or it shows in two places w/i the list.
Question is, is this a known bug or is something corrupted in either my Music app or copy of 7.0.6.? I'm out of town right now so I have no way of doing a backup and restore, but curious to know what the problem might be.
FWIW I've already tried shutting down and restarting the iPhone and also quitting the Music app are restarting it.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

The Music app will not open after I upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 6.

This is a random occurance that started today. I upgraded the phone when IOS6 came out - and the Music app has been giving me troubles since then (crashing; taking a couple of tries to open; etc.). However, I have never had this much trouble getting it to open. I have restarted the phone a number of times. I have hard-closed the music app. All to no avail. It opens for a second, with a blank screen, then closes.

As I mentioned in my post, I did restart the phone a number of times, and this did not solve the problem.
Restart ≠ Reset. Try the Reset.
Apart from a Reset and closing the app, without your computer, there's not much you can do. I suspect there's a problem with your music database, which I think can only be solved with access to your computer.

My music app won't open after updating to iOS5

It was fine yesterday after updating to iOS 5, but this morning after removing some songs and changing some album info, it suddenly wouldn't open on my iPhone anymore, I'll press it and it opens to a white screen then suddenly closes, anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks for the feedback. This is a custom enterprise application. So there is not an update yet. It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable. So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

Hi,
Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
Thanks!

I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

IOS8.1 Music App won't play "Skip When Shuffling" songs at all

iTunes has two options for skipping a song during shuffle: the first column with the tick box (let's call this the "Play Column"), and the "Skip When Shuffling" tick box in the Options tab of the song info.
For songs in iTunes where the Play Column is unticked but Skip When Shuffling box is also unticked, this works as it should when synced to the iPhone: ie the song doesn't come up in shuffle, but it can still be selected & played directly on Music app.
But when the Skip When Shuffling box is ticked (regardless of whether the Play Column is ticked or not), the song can't even be selected & played directly on the Music app. When selected, it just picks another random song from my playlist to start shuffling from.
It's like the Skip When Shuffling option overrides the Play Column (no idea why iTunes should have two different options to do the same thing anyway), but has also now stopped the App from playing the song at all. I've tested this by unticking the Skip When Shuffling box in iTunes & re-syncing to the iPhone, and the Music app now plays the songs when selected directly.
My iPhone 4S using iOS8 always played these songs with no problem, so this is a new issue/bug/feature with either iO8.1 or the app in the iPhone 6 itself.

What kind of Music App are you using?
Maybe some Apps they have bugs when using iOS7.
I'm using MVDIO and zingmp3, it's still okay here.
