something to do with the task thing in your computer to get the app thing working and then syncing it to your ipod. I cant remember what it was you had to do with the task thing in the control panel. but hope that somewhat helps.

Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

Why won't the music file I clicked and dragged onto my website publish?

I followed all the instructions in iWeb for inserting a music file on a page, by clicking on the music file and dragging it onto the iWeb page of my choice. Yet when I attempt to publish the changes, I get an error message saying "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I've tried it numerous times, but always get that message. I've tried changing the file name so that it does NOT include any spaces, but that doesn't work. Then, I tried replacing the spaces with underscores, but still it won't publish. Anyone have any idea how I can get this to work?

To verify that it's not the music file publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Click on the site's folder and select Local Folder in the Publish To menu.

If the music file is there and plays OK then do this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try publishing to MobileMe again.

Why won't some music sync from iTunes to my iPhone 5?

I have purchased several items from the iTunes store with no trouble syncing and playing on my iPhone 4. Recently I purchased two iPhone 5's for myself and my son. His phone is synced to my iTunes account and can play all content. My phone initially synced all my music and comedy albums. Occasionally I would come across a song my iPhone music player refused to play. I would touch the song name, briefly see the song/album and it would flip back to my playlist/song list without playing or it would skip to another song. Sometimes skipping several songs in between and flashing quickly the song title.
To rectify this, I researched the problem on the forums and tried one of the suggestions of right clicking on the song in iTunes, converting the song to AAC and then deleting the original and re-syncing. After powering down and re-syncing, the 173 non-synced songs out of 808 purchased songs were no longer even on my phone.
I accessed the iTunes store through the app on my phone, found the non-downloaded songs in the cloud and manually downloaded them to my phone. Although I couldn't put them in the playlists I had created on iTunes (where they are checked and the playlist is checked for syncing) I did have them on my phone and they played perfectly. After my phone was plugged into a power source with iTunes open and my phone synced, the songs were once again missing from my phone.
I contacted Apple support and we spent some time trying different things:
1) Selected tab under iTunes preferences for devices "Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically"
2) Reset all settings
3) Backed up my iPhone for a restore - which we never did.
I spoke then with a senior support consultant and we then:
1) Deleted the songs from my phone through Settings > General > Usage > Storage where my playlists remained but were empty.
2) We re-synced all my checked playlists. The songs were still missing.
3) On iTunes we selected "Sync all music". Songs were still missing.
4) Went to iTunes Store via iTunes on my Mac, looked up purchases and downloads, re-downloaded missing songs (there were only six of them and happened to be the ones that I converted to AAC).
5) Created new "Test" playlist and dragged two of the missing iPhone songs into it. Synced phone to include new playlist. Playlist appeared but was empty.
I had purchased two John Pinette comedy albums. One entire album will not sync and on the second, only two of the thirteen "songs" will sync. The support person asked if I wanted to change all of the m4a songs to mp3 and was going to show me how but when viewing the John Pinette "Still Hungry" album where the first and last song synced, they show the file ends with m4a, as do all of the songs that won't sync. This leads me to conclude that the file type isn't the issue, but that there is something corrupted with certain files from the iTunes store or a glitch that is incompatible with the IOS 6.1.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and have you been able to rectify it?

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why won't my music sync on my iPhone 5 after updating to iOS 8.

When I try to sync my music not all the songs come over onto my phone. The player sees what should be there and then skips them.

I found a solution that worked for me. I had this same problem and I feel like I tried everything. No matter how many time I synced, the songs appeared to be on my phone, but they would just get skipped over if I tried to play them ("ghost" songs). The answer is not checking and unchecking artists/playlists/etc in iTunes. The phone still thinks the songs are there so it won't sync them to the phone. Here's what to do: go to Settings --> Music and then make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then go to the Music app and try to play through your songs. Now, when a song is skipped over it should no longer appear in the iPhone's library. Once all songs are skipped (could take a few minutes depending on the size of your library), the "ghost" songs will disappear. On the next sync iTunes will put them all back on the phone. Hope this helps.

Why won't Bridge CS6 launch?

I've just installed Photoshop CS6 (64bit). I cannot launch Adobe Bridge - I get the message "Waiting for Bridge CS6....." and it won't progress beyond this point. Has anyone got any idea what I can do? I've rebooted the PC, but still the same.

Hi Eggsarnium
Thanks for the tip. I got very excited thinking I'd got the solution at last - I went through all the steps as you detailed, then opened PS, tried to launch Bridge ..... and it hadn't worked for me . But I'm going to go through the other solutions provided in the link you gave me, so hopefully one of them will work.
Incidentally, like you, I just renamed the switchboard folder (to 'NoSwitchboard') rather than deleting it as advised by Adobe. Maybe I'll take the plunge and delete it.... After all, I can always uninstall everything and reinstall to restore it if it goes disastrously wrong...... can't I?
OK, Update: I found that although I'd renamed the Switchboard folder to NoSwitchboard, what had happened was that it created a NEW folder with that name, retaining the original Switchboard folder too. So I deleted the original Switchboard folder..... but it still didn't work . I also went to the path: C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\CommonFiles\Adobe\Switchboard\Switchboard.exe and changed that folder. What happened then was when I tried to launch Bridge I got a message saying "Cannot launch Bridge because the extension file is missing" (or something like that). So I changed that back. Hmmm.

WHY WON'T MY MUSIC SYNC TO MY IPHONE???

I have bragged about Apple for years. I've sunk thousands of dollars into Apple devices, as well as apps, music and movies from iTunes.
Now, all of a sudden, I'm having a slew of issues. First my movies - purchased from iTunes - wouldn't play correctly on my computer. The picture and sound fall out of sync. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a friggin' SUPERVISOR and we still couldn't fix it! It's not space issues - I'm not even using one quarter of my hard disk space. I did everything he told me to do and they still won't play.
Guess what happened today? I'm getting the ridiculous "-50" unknown error message when trying to sync music I purchased FROM iTUNES onto my iPhone. Oh, it plays just fine on my computer. I had several of my playlists loaded onto my iPhone already. I visit the forums, and everyone says I should reinstall iTunes and restore my iPhone - so I do those things. Now all of those playlists need to be put back on to my phone and NOTHING WILL SYNC TO MY PHONE!!!
I am one VERY short step away from ditching Apple forever. I am sick to death of having to deal with constant issues. Everything worked great until a couple of months ago, now you people cannot do anything to fix the issues your incompetent techs are causing.

Hello alexandreak,
It sounds like your newly purchased music is not syncing your your iPhone. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with this.
One thing you may want to consider is downloading the purchased songs directly to your iPhone. You can find the steps to do that in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you prefer to sync the music to your iPhone using iTunes, I recommend turning off and turning on syncing music. You can do this by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again. You can find the syncing steps in the following article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
Additionally, it is important to note that songs with a cloud icon next to them in iTunes are streaming from iTunes and are not on your computer. For these songs to sync to your device, you will need to clck on the cloud icon to download the song to your computer first.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Why won't my iTunes launch anymore?

My iTunes was working great less than a week ago. The last thing I remember doing before it stopped working is updating to the most recent version (10.4). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, disabling Bonjour from the startup, deleting the iTunes config. files, and even Running as an Admin. Nothing seems to work. I've tried looking on Apple's site for a place to download an older version (since I obvioulsy can't restore from within iTunes as it won't launch) but can't find anything at all. I've got 2 other Windows 7 systems in the house and they seem to be working just fine. Please help! Thanks.

Got it sorted! I managed to find a download for iTunes 10.3 and installed it. When I tried to open it, it wouldn't allow me to because my library file had been created be a new version of iTunes. When I then installed 10.4 on top of 10.3, everything worked. So good luck to anyone else having the same issue.

Why won't my music videos work on my ipod?

After downloading the new itunes 7, I found that my music videos and video podcasts (downloaded from the itunes store) were erased from my ipod and will no longer transfer to the ipod. I keep getting a message saying it can't download to my ipod but, why? I've had no problems before. Is there a solution to this problem?

I, too, am having problems with iTunes 7 and videos. I got the "cannot be read from or written to message". So I restarted the computer, reset the iPod and repaired permissions, then I got this message. "Some of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "Video iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." All these movies and TV shows worked perfectly well yesterday, but now iTunes removed them all from my iPod and will not sync them back. I have tried restoring the iPod software, and resetting the iPod but that did not fix the problem. Any ideas?

Why won't my music app work?

My Music app opens, but then it's frozen. It won't let me click on anything, and the screen doesn't move when I try to scroll.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why won't my music download on my ipad mini?

Can anyone tell my why I can't download my iTunes music to my ipad mini?

You should provide more exact symptoms. What are you trying? What is or is not happening?
With the miniscule information you have supplied, the causes could range from no WiFi connection to an Apple ID mismatch being used in syncing. Those are just two possibilities that quickly come to mind.
