ICS/My Music App Issues?

I just got my Razr 7 days ago. It was updated to ICS in the VZW store by the "device specialist" before it was ever in my hand.
Last night, I was finally getting around to setting up playlists. When I started, the check boxes to add music to the playlist had the "normal" 3D look like they do on a PC application. After I had added a few songs, the appearance of the app changed. The check boxes suddently looked 2D; they're a flat box, surrounded on top, left and bottom with a line, and open on the right.
When I check a box, I get a flat, fuzzy looking green check, which is different than they were at first. Also, often when I check a box, it instead opens the list, i.e. instead of putting a check next to an album, it opens the album list and forces me to check each song. When it does that, I have to stop where I am and hit the "add" button, or it just won't do anything else but take me into the album list.
I also had a problem with it saving playlists. I created one, edited it to rename it, saw it saved in the list under the new name & with the number of songs. I went into another app and when I went back to My Music, that playlist was gone; another playlist I had set up earlier, though, was still there. I set it up again, renamed it and now it's still there.
I don't know if it's related or not, as far as the playlist disappearing, but when I plugged the phone into my laptop, in mass storage mode, the playlists folder on internal storage shows only "New Playlist 1". None of my playlists still have that name. On my SD card, there is another playlists folder, which I did not create, so I have to assume the phone created it, but it is empty. So the two playlists I created are not in the playlists folder...
I have cleared the phone's cache, My Music's cache and it's been rebooted several times. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions outside of a FDR? I just finished setting up the phone. The idea of having to do a FDR in the first week is just ridiculous.
Here's a screenshot. Anyone else had this issue? Any other ideas?

Quit the Music app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, try a reset.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • Music App issues

    After updating to iOS 8, the music app in my ipod is encountering some issues. For example, I went to Sheena Easton (that has no album info) in the artist section, it shows a different artist i.e. B.B. King's picture and sheena's song "For your eyes only". When I go another artist such as ABBA (with limited album info) it shows B.B. King's picture again and sheena's song therefore ABBA songs such as "Gimmie Gimme Gimme" doesn't appear. The images below gives you better examples of what issues I'm going through. I need this problem to rectified ASAP!!!
    Thank You

    Backup the device, restore as a new device, restore the backup you made earlier.

  • Music App Issues with iOS 5

    Ever since I've updated to iOS 5, I am having issues with the Music app. First issue is that when playing songs in a playlist, the music will just stop playing although the "play" icon is still active. The second issue is that the app will just crash when playing music in a playlist. Anybody else have this problem?

    Sounds like something got corrupted with the update process, try:
    1- Power off/on.
    2- Reset
    3- Restore from backup
    4- Restore, then load last backup
    5- Restore, then set up as new iPhone
    Hopefully one of the first 3 will work since they're fast.  The 5th one is the last resort since you'll have to re-do everything on your phone.

  • IPod Touch 4 Music App Issues

    I'm having trouble with a few of the songs I bought through the music store. Some of the songs are working fine, maybe half of the 25 I bought. The other half either wont play, play another song instead, or skip the song entirely. I have tried rebooting the device and that didn't seem to work. Resyncing hasn't worked but the songs play fine on iTunes. I am about to just restore the iPod, but I was looking for tips and suggestions. Also iTunes has been kind of screwy lately. It took a few hours to download a 11 song CD and iTunes Store won't open. Obviously iTunes is a common problem but if anyone knows any tricks to get it to speed up or work correctly it would be much appreciated. I'm running Windows Vista with the latest iTunes and iTouch updates. Thanks!

    If when restoring iTunes asks for a passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Music app continues to have issues

    I posted about this issue months ago, but unfortunately the music app continues to have the same problem.
    On my phone, I continue to experience an issue where my saved playlists(ones I created on the phone) become disorganized. By disorganized, I mean that the songs lose their order in the playlist. Furthermore, the song entries are duplicated (e.g., if the
    song "Mi Secreto" was added to a playlist, it would after some time have multiple instances of the song "Mi Secreto" appear in the playlist. I have had 20-song playlist evolve into 100 plus song playlists without ever adding songs.
    What I see are the songs repeated over and over again. Not by any action on my part.
    Additionally, the shuffle option does not work correctly. When shuffle is selected, a song added most recently should play next. This does not occur. And even after toggling on shuffle several times, there are instances when the order of the "shuffled"
    songs remains exactly the same.
    I am running 8.1 with all the latest developer updates. My music library is on my MicroSD card. Music synced was synced using Windows Media Player.
    Please fix this!

    The latest iOS is 8.1.3, not 8.1.2. Try updating it. And no, so far I haven't had any of the issues that your phone seems to be having. Good luck!!

  • Ios 6 music app on ios 7 (to fix genre issue)

    I am no longer able to drill down from genre to artists songs in the genre and their albums with songs in that genre.  Apple has told me that is by design.  So I have lost that ability and some others here have said the same thing.
    Is there a way to find and use the ios 6 music app under ios 7 somehow?  Else, I need to find a 3rd party app that will play the existing music (I don't want to download anything outside of itunes) and allow me to drill down from genre as ios 6's music app allowed me to do.
    Any suggestions (incl. possible apps if I can't use ios 6 music app)?

    I use, by the way, the windows app Tag & Rename.  Have been using it for years and highly recommend it if you are on the windows platform.  In order to get things to work properly I had to change tags in two ways for ios 7: (1) copy all my artist fields to album artists fields and (2) (unfortunately) pull out the data in the year field (which I moved to the comment field) since ios 7 now sorts by the year field as well.
    That got the ios 7 music player to final list the stuff properly - at least as I drilled down from genre.  Still, the interface was at a minimum "wanting".  I found an inexpensive (not free) app - I think it was something like $3.99.  It was written and supported by two programmers - a 18 and 21 year old.  Still the interface is relatively clean and the gestures once learned make things easy to find out and change with a single finger - check it out: "Ecoute".  It does the job for me much better then ios 7's.
    My only complaint is since I do not have album art or any other art associated with music as I am a composer and write my own material - I end up with 5 rows and 3 columns of icons with default icons.  But even that has an 'option' as you can get a textual list by taping on the top.  If you are at genres and the artist is showing, tapping on the top will list all the tracks in alphabetical order with times for that artist. If the albums are showing in the screen - tapping on the artist on the top will display all the tracks in alphabetical order with a line below them describing the album name.  And when you tap just on the album icon, you get just a list of the tracks.
    Some other cool tapping and swiping actions....  easy to learn...

  • Music app: songs stuck in album issue

    hey guys,
    I've just got an IP 4 with IOS 5 from my sister and there is a annoying problem with my Music app.
    As I sync the music from Itunes, most of songs run to "album" but not the "all songs". In other words,175 songs were synced into my IP - 165 of them only appear in the "album" (which creates 59 albums) and what I have in my "all songs" is 10 songs!
    FYI, I've authorised the computer. My Icould and Itunes accounts are different (but I dont use the Itunes match). This problem never appears with my previous IP 3 (well, back then I have Ipod and I'm starting to miss it right now)
    Can anyone help me with this, PLEASE?  I'm a music lover and I cant survive the week without portable songs...
    Many many thanks.

    - 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.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 5S Music syncing issues after 8.0.2

    Hello,
    I have been having irritating issues getting my iPhone 5S to sync my music library over after updating to 8.0.2.
    I did a backup onto my laptop prior to updating, and went ahead with the new update. The first thing I noticed was after updating to 8.0.2 in order to sync again, iTunes prompted me that I was lacking 6GB of data on my phone to sync my library. I did not use my phone at all during the updating process so there's no way 6GB of data was magically written on it's storage drive. I could not figure out why in the world iTunes would tell me I needed to free up 6GB to sync the exact same music that was already there prior to. I went ahead and completely deleted my entire Music library from the phone, and tried to resync fresh. I still got the same message from iTunes. Believing in the program and going ahead and doing some spring cleaning, I ended up freeing a good amount of things off of my phone, applications, photos, messages, etc. to drop 6GB from the storage. I went ahead and synchronized my iPhone 5S with iTunes so I could get my music on my phone. It proceeded to go ahead and sync my roughly 1400 songs onto the iPhone. After it was complete, it showed I had an astounding 12GB of free space on my phone... I said to **** with it and just wanted to play my music. The phone seems to have all of my library that I chose to sync on my Music app. The problem is, when I go to play songs the music app will Skip over certain songs. I have not found any commonality between which songs it chooses to skip. It skips newly added songs, it skips old songs, it skips purchased songs, it skips songs downloaded from other sites. There seems to be no structure to which songs it's skipping. Another thing to note, whenever I connect my iPhone 5S to my iTunes and sync, I am Always able to sync something new onto the phone (around step 5 or 6 when it is completing the sync, it will mysteriously add some songs to the phone). Those songs are playable. Then I shuffle through my playlist, and Still the same problem remains, it has removed some songs and skips over them. It seems to Sync songs, and Delete songs... completely at random. This is bothering me and I'm not sure what to do, and am Very unsatisfied with the amount of bugs still left in the software. I wonder if others are having similar issues and maybe we can bring some light to this.
    Thank You,
    Andrew

    Similar issue Andrew.  After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling"  songs that are no longer in my Music Library.  Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my  Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone.  I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone.  When I synched however, I was back to square one.  I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone .  We also downloaded IOS 8.02.  They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it.  Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone.  After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space.  (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
    When I got home from the Apple store I spent after  hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes.  I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched.  Didn't work.  Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work.  Bottom line,  I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song !  I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
    Furthermore,  it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system  in my car.  However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone.    If you ( or anyone else ) finds  something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input. 
    Thanks, Lorenzo

  • Music app reorders the wrong song in playlist

    In the music app, when I try to reorder the songs in my playlist it moves the song before the one I actually wanted to move (when there is one), and then it moves it to one spot higher than what I wanted as well (except when I'm moving it to the first song in the list).
    I'm sure it's a matter of some novice programmer not knowing if the app indexed starting at 0 or 1 and it should be trivial to fix, so how soon will it be fixed?
    I thought of a work around but it's really annoying. If I want to move the last song in my list, I have to add the same song again (probably any song would work, but this is more obvious) and then try to move it to the top of the list (which actually moves the old one). After that I can get rid of the duplicate that's still at the bottom.
    Was this handled in the iOS 6.1 patch? I didn't see it in the patch notes.
    When will this be patched? It shouldn't be this hard to reorder songs.

    I'm having a similar issue with my 5s, The playlist will allow me to edit and reorder the songs, however, as soon as I hit "done" it reorders them back to the spot they were previously in. I have the same iOS 7 on my iPad and no issue so it must be something with the iphone only.

  • I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS.  iTunes Match is on.  Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed.  Just happened when updating iTunes Match.  Solutons?

    I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory.  I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone.  Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed.  This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6.  It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes.  Ideas?

  • Music is on my iPod touch 1G but does not show up in the Music App

    Been having this problem the last week. I synced my iPod before I went to bed, grabbed it and headed off to work on Tuesday. Once I got to work I went to use my iPod and when I opened the Music App a screen popped up saying "Updating Library...This may take a few minutes". I didn't think much about that as I have seen it a number of times after I synced quite a bit of new music or podcasts(the night before I had 3 new hour long podcasts that synced).
    Set my iPod to the side as that usually does take a minute, turned back and the screen said "No Content" and then some line about buying music in iTunes. I was quite surprised as I had never seen this screen before. I turned my iPod off and back on and the same No Content message.
    I checked my Photos App and those were still there and so were all my saved photos that don't sync. Checked some of my other apps and the settings and saved data was all there too.
    Finally got the idea to check the About option in the Settings. Knowing that it would list how many songs and how much space was free. Opened that up and it said 0 songs but that I only had 1.4GBs of free space. Which tells me that my music is on the iPod but just isn't being recognized.
    Got home that night and synced it and once done I checked it and my music was there. Friday this all happened again and I have not been able to get my music to show up again even though my iPod tells that I have 12GBs of something on there going by what the About page tells me.
    The only change I have made is I finally updated from just Itunes 10.0.X to 10.1.4 on 12/20 of last year. I have a iPod touch 1G that is running 3.1.3.
    Last night I did a restore and created a whole new iPod but the same issue has happened. I watched it sync my ~2800 songs but when I went to check them, No Content but the About page tells me there is 12GBs of space being used. Right now I am going to a back from from June of last year to see if that works but I doubt it. I also have an old install of iTunes 10.0.1 that I think I might try.
    What else could be the problem?

    Which version of iTunes are you using?
