I have music that will not play and cannot be removed from my iPhone 4. Any ideas on how to remove them?

I bought itunes match over a year ago and didn't really like it so I removed it from my phone/itunes library altogether but I still have like 12 songs that are stuck on the phone and will not play because my itunes match has now expired, they can't be removed either apparently. I've tried all the regular ways so please somebody come up with something original way to get rid of them. They have no cover art and are really starting to bother me.

Make sure you don't have updates yet for oldify etc if not , Do reset. On whole phone. Updates will come for oldify.

Set up exchange email on my imac but that same information will not work to set up exchange on my iphone. Any ideas?

set up exchange email on my imac successfully but that same information will not work to set up exchange on my iphone. Any ideas?

If your Imac is connected to the same Lan as your Exchange Server he might be able to access the DNS record for the autodiscovery services (the url that allow outlook/entourage or modern smartphone to autoconfigure the exchange account).
If this url has not been made public by your IT staff, your iphone cannot resolve it.
Typically, the url for autodiscover is based on your address email domain, i.e. if your email address is [email protected] the url for autodiscover will be https://autodiscover.company.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
A good test is try to open this URL from a web browser (authentification may be requiered) from the imac and iphone then compare result. The expected behavior would be the display of an xml page with very little content (this is normal), if there is an http error or that the page cannot be displayed then autodiscover is not available from the network you are using.
If so you need to request from your IT the name of the ActiveSync Url to use, most company use the same as the webmail url, so if to access your wemail you need to go https://webmail.company.com, the name to use on your iphone would be webmail.company.com
Hope that help

Timer option changed to 'Stop Playing' from 'Sleep iphone'. Any idea on how to get the Sleep ipone.

In the iPhone 4S under the Timer, for the Option, When 'Timer Ends' it used to be a 'Sleep iphone'. After the iOS 5.1 update, I think, it is now changed to 'Stop Playing', which only stops the Music. Any idea how to - put the phone to Sleep mode.

Thanks again Norman.
I desperately set about checking the option you provided, but good to know that you have noticed the same thing.
Yes we might need to wait for the update from Apple, but I am not sure how will this be noticed and acted upon.
The sleep option was very good to have, because it took care of the other apps for streaming music etc, and would stop all of them. Would you suggest anyway of raising it to the Support people?

I have purchased music that will not play

I bought an album over a yearv ago, and some songs didn't play. for some reason I did nothing about it.
I just bought another two song ep, and it worked fine, then I updated my phone, and now one of the songs won't play!
Any body had this problem and found a way to fix it?

Hey RPM_!
You may want to try deleting the purchase and re-downloading it using the information found in the following article:

HT1766 Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process, I lost all my apps on my iphone. Any ideas on how to restore them? If I use the back up option, will I go back to my old IOS? Please help!

Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process I lost all my apps on my phone. If I use the back up option on itunes, will it restore my iphone to my old IOS? Please help!

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

I restored my phone from a previous back up and now all my apps are gone. Any idea on how to get them back?

I had liquid damage to my phone and had to receive a new one so I went home to restore it to its old settings from my back up on 5/8/11. I've had an iphone since 2008 so I have a lot of data and apps saved on to my computer, many of which I paid for. When my back up finished all my music, contacts, photos were restored but none of my apps. Can someone please help me get them back? Thank you!

After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

Try the basics from the manual:
restart.
reset.
restore.

Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download. They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod. How can I get all of my songs back?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I just changed the hard drive on my computer and my music and videos that I got from my friend will not play because I don't remember his password. Any solutions????

If you are talking about your friend's iTunes password, you are not supposed to use or have his password or even his music,etc. in your computer...

I have thousands of songs dowloaded from my cds and purchased from itunes that will not play. It states the file cannot be found. What happened to them and where are they?

I have thousands of songs dowloaded from my cds and purchased from itunes that will not play. It says file cannot be found. What happened and where are they?

When songs cannot be found, it's either because they have been moved from the original location that you told iTunes, renamed or deleted.
So have you:
renamed songs?
moved them to a different loaction on your computer since you imported them into itunes?
deleted them since you imported them?
stored you iTunes library on an external drive? If so, that drive needs to be on and ready every time before you start iTunes.
... or is another programme renaming or even moving them, such as Windows Media Player? (It has been known to if you let it.) Did you previously use Windows Media Player?

HT1567 I have the volume control symbol in the center of my iPad all of the time. My music will not play and the volume remains off. When I try to increase the volume manually it statics and will not maintain a volume level. Thanks

I have the volume control symbol in the enter of my iPad all of the time. My music will not play and when I try to increase the volume manually, it statics and will not maintain a volume level. Thanks

Try resetting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider if it shows up. You will lose no data.
