I cannot play music on my iphone 5

ANY time I select a track, new or old, on my iphone5 it runs through 5 or 6 tracks without playing and then goes back to the playlist, artist list, etc...

hi there
try connecting your iphone to itunes. then go into your phone through itunes and check what music/videos/tones are selected on or off.

'cannot play' music downloaded to iPhone 4s

I downloaded songs to my iPhone 4s and went well. I downloaded some more and they had a little button beside them in the Songs List. I tapped the song title and a window came up saying "Cannot Play then Connect to a Wi-Fi network to play. You can enable cellular playback in Settings." I tapped the 'button' beside the song title and the song DISAPPEARED! It only does this on some songs I downloaded the other day. All other songs are playable on my phone. Why?

If you are using the aux-in socket on the car ,you need as provided a cable with a 3.5 mm plug at each end
one in the aux-in socket other end in the headphone socket of iphone

I cannot play music on my iphone 5 since I updated iTunes.

I have updated my mac and mac air on Friday.
Now my ringtones and text tones are gone as well as I am unable to play any music that is on the phone.
My car stereo can't play any music when connected to, and even the Bluetooth is not working.
When I try to select a song goes on to the play mode and continuously skipping to the other songs without stopping.
I have apple care for my phone but the call center is closed and I am going mad.
What do I do know? please help

IPhone cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

Hey all,
This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?
Bill

The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.

Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it. Update it to IOS 7.1.1

Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? Thanks!

My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this.

My Iphone 4S cannot play music without headphone. Everything else works, such as alarm, siri, notifications, etc..., except music out loud. I tried everything, but there is no explanation on why it does this. If siri and alarm work fine, it cant be a internal sound system problem, and it is just for music without headphones plugged in or any other sound system.

Hi shanny202.
Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

Cannot play music over bluetooth on BMW Connected system

I tried to connect my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 (haven't updated to latest yet) to my fathers BMW system. It connects and pairs, and I can see my contacts and make calls, but I cannot play music. There is no option for anything regarding music or media, and simply playing something in the musicplayer on the iPhone while connected to the cars bluetooth only plays it using the phone speakers like normal.
I have a bluetooth stereo in my kitchen that works as soon as I connect to it. Only have to start any media player and the sound goes over the bluetooth. What am I missing here?

Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
Apple made all the equipment I use.
Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
The least Apple could is.
A. Update itunes to run on a G5
Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
We buy apple why?
Quality.
Intuitive interface.
Stable software.
Design.
All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

My post on facebook this morning.
If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?that will play audio please

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price

I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?

I have the same problem - did you solve it?

I cannot play music from my library on either my external drive or my laptop - keep getting same message "___ song (all of them) could not be used because the original file could not be found. I have tried changing the path in prefernces many times.

I cannot play music from my libray on either my external drive or my laptop. I keep getting the same message - "___ song (all of them) could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have changed the path several times under preferences and it still won't recognize any songs from either my laptop hard drive or my external drive. I can't play any music at all.

I think I've fixed this on my machine. If you look in the ITunes folder there is a subfolder called Previous iTunes Libraries. In my case for some reason this contained the one which had always worked and a new one was in the main folder. I closed iTunes, deleted the new one, and moved the old one back to the main folder, then opened iTunes. It then rebuilt the library and it plays correctly. Hope it works for you.

I subscibed to ITunes Match and all my music has disappeared from my Ipod touch and will only play through WiFi so I cannot play music in my car. How do I get it back please

You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.
