I am using iOS 8.1 on the iPhone 6 and my music will not shuffle. It will play one or two songs then go to the home screen and stop playing music.

I updated my iPhone 6 to the latest iOS 8.1 and now my music will not shuffle. It will play one or two songs but then shut off and return to the home screen.
Anyone else having the same issue?

Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

TS1424 some albums when downloaded only play partial parts of songs then skips to the next song how do i fix this?

i downloaded Korn the path of totality and the first 4 songs work the next 4-5 just plays 10-12 seconds of the song then skips to the next the last 4 songs seems to work. Also i downloaded Tyga- carless world and each song shows up twice on my iphone and it only plays a couple of the songs, it wont play some and skips to others ones it seems random, but it plays fine on my itunes on my computer.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Just after latest upgrade, firefox is performing badly. It will open one or two websites then I get the anti-clockwise rotating arrow, then nothing. This has never happened before. I have re-installed firefox but the same happens. Please help?

Firefox has always worked fast. But after the last upgrade, it has slowed right down. I am running Windows 7 32 bit. Now the first website loads fast; then the next website loads slower; then links gradually slow down until I just see the reverse arrow which never loads up.
I have re-installed Firefox w/out success.
Please help,
Will

Sorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

(IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
Or do what hannahsage said above.

Hi, we are a small clinic that uses the iPads for therapy. If we purchase an app for one iPad, can all of them download the same app at no additional cost?

Allan was somewhat incomplete in his statement. While technically it would be possible, from a licensing standpoint you need one license for each iPad unless those iPads were all going to be used by the same person (which I think unlikely given your described use). Here are the relevant terms of the iTunes Store agreement (emphasis mine):
"(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license."
So you would legally need to purchase one copy of the app for each iPad, something which would require an iTunes Store account for each iPad. For normal purchases, each iTunes Store account would need an associated credit card or prepaid iTunes card.
The Volume Purchase Plan works similarly - you still need one license and one iTunes Store account for each iPad - but the purchasing is centralized so you don't get billed multiple times. You get one recemption code for each license you purchase. See:

"The iPhone software update server could not be contacted" - problem updating to iOS 6

Hi all,
I'm a little behind the times, but I'm trying to update my iPhone 3G from 4.2 to 6. Unfortunately, whenever I try, I get a message that "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted".
I've looked around for a fix - including one that asked me to check my "Automatically detect LAN settings" - but that was of no use. I should point out that my phone is not jailbroken and that I am connected to the internet via USB dongle. I have temporarily disabled AVG as well.
Does anyone know what's causing this issue and how I can be rid of it?
Thanks very much in advance.

An iPhone 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1...that's the end of the line for your phone.

My iPod touch will not shuffle or move on to the next song on an album/ playlist. Is there anything I can do. It has had very little use even though I've had it for 2years.

Can anyone help with an iPod touch that will not shuffle or move on to the next song on an album/playlist?

After you dry the iPod:
How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 after the ios 7.0 update my iphone 4s and ipad keep switching in between the home screen and the apple loading screen, can anybody help?

Can anybody help with the above?
i.e
both my iphone 4s and ipad switch in between the home screen and the apple loading screen
Many thanks

I would connect each device to a power source, and then reset them by holding the power button and the home button until they turn off.
If it keeps happening, I would put the devices in recovery mode and restore them with iTunes.
This article will help with that if needed:

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.
