In my iPhone 5s clock alarm sounds i have songs that i didn't sync to my iPhone but are purchased songs from years ago. if i accidentally select them it will end up on my phone in the music app. just annoying how.

so i tried to resotre my iphone from new such and such. but then i go to my clock and then alarm, sounbds pick a song. theres all these songs that i didnt sync from my mac. theyre songs from years and years ago, a few CPUs back, songs that i dont even have on my mac. anyways how do i get rid of them or change a setting as to not see them?

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

  • 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.

  • Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

    As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
    1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
    2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
    3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
    4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
    I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
    I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
    If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

    Hello gman4354,
    It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
    Then close the Music app on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • IPod Touch and AppleTV "bricks" the Music app

    I use the Music app on the iPod Touch to send music to an Apple TV.  If I have the iPod Touch transmitting and stop playing music (via "Pause") and I walk away from my wireless connection, I cannot access my Music collection.  The page will display with the last song playing for the AppleTV and lock.  Eventually, it will crash and future attempts to access the Music app will display the blue bar, white background, and black bottom bar before crashing.
    I've contacted Apple Support.  I've restored the iPod, unplugged the ATV, and exchanged the iPod.  None of this has worked.
    I'm positive that it is something software based.  Apple Support suggests replacing the iPod (which I will do).  However, this does not resolve the issue.
    Thoughts? 
    Is there someone else that can be contacted that is not a troubleshooter?  I've worked in Customer Service and I know the "we have no idea and we're going to do what it takes to get you off the phone" approach.  The last contact, where I explained what I figured out was the issue, met with silence on their action.  I highly doubt that anyone is going to submit a ticket to have the issue fixed in a future patch.
    Thanks.

    Solution:  Doing a "Reset all settings" will release whatever hold the app has.  You'll have to set everything up (I did it as a new iPod). 
    Restore did nothing to resolve this issue.

  • HT5457 my iphone 4 has not been updated since purchase almost a year ago.it does not have the software update option in settings. how do i get to update? settings. How do I update it

    My iphone 4 has not been updated since I purchased it a year ago. When I go to settings to click software update as per instructions, the software update is not listed. How & where do I go  to update my phone?
    Thanks

    You'll have to use iTunes on your computer to get your iPhone to the latest version of iOS. From there you'll be able to update directly from the iPhone for future releases.

  • Can I listen to audiobooks apart from the Music app?

    Is there any way for me to listen to my iTunes audiobooks apart from the Music app?
    The music app is annoying. It can't remember the playback position of the audiobook files.
    I used to change the books into podcasts and then use the podcasts app but now it wouldn't sync .
    I wish Apple will make a seperate Audiobooks app...

    If they are not drm and or if amazon Got an app which play them

  • My Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off when its "on sound", it acts as if its on vibrate and doesnt wake me up. Started with the IOS upgrade. Is there a bug?

    My new Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off where I can hear it.  Its started on my 4S when I upgraded to IOS6 and even on the Itouch too.  I set the clock alarm, turn on sound (not silent), the alarm goes off, but no sounds comes out.   I have to reset home to get it to recognize its off, but that doesnt always work, it did it on both my Itouch and Iphone5 I almost over slept this morning because never of them went off and woke me up.   Acted as it the sound was down (which it wasnt) and it was on silent mode (which it wasnt)  Is there a bug with this?  I cant trust my phone now to wake me up.  Any help?  Thanks Tracey

    Same problem here. Me and my girlfriend swapped iphone 5's (she has white, I have black) in may and I rely on the alarm every morning to wake me up for work. It hasn't let me down.
    A few days ago I set 2 alarms very early in the morning to wake me up for an early morning flight. Neither alarm made a sound & I missed the flight!!
    We then swapped our phones back & she has just had exactly the same thing happen & has missed an important meeting at work. Again, quite an early morning alarm. The odd thing is I have a black iphone 5, also latest OS,  never had this happen to me...
    Has anyone solved this problem. I can't make it repeat (reset the same alarm for a different time & it goes off fine).
    Does I need to buy her a dedicated alarm clock!?!

  • I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

    I deleted songs in my iphone on the music app but when I sync with the computer the songs disappear. How can I delete songs on my phone but keep them in iTunes?

    I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that.  Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.

  • Every single song I delete from iCloud on my Mac remains listed in the Music app on my iPhone 4S, and then becomes broken -- What the heck?

    Hello,
    So this is annoying me to no end because I just spent $25 to sign up for iTunes Match and so far its wasted my time and given me nothing but a massive headache. This is obviously a major bug on the SERVICE END, not mine.
    Starting with an empty iTunes library on my Mac, I began ripping my CDs in iTunes Plus AAC format the other night with the intent of matching & uploading my entire music library into iCloud for streaming & downloading to my iPhone 4S on the go. Simple in theory, right? After some basic tag editing -- changing genres, a simple alteration to a title here, deleting the composer there -- and then updating iTunes Match (Store > Update iTunes Match), I notice I'm getting duplicates of a bunch of my songs appearing on my iPhone. I haven't downloaded anything to the device, they're all just listed with the cloud icon next to them.
    So I'm thinking, whatever, I screwed something up. I'm only several CDs into the process so I'll just delete the iTunes library and start over again. Shift + right click, delete everything. Do you want to delete these songs from iCloud as well? Yes. Update iTunes Match. There are 0 songs in iCloud. Okay.
    The songs are still showing in my iPhone Music app. Strange. Swipe to delete does nothing, they're not on the device. They're pointing to files in the cloud that are either no longer there or somewhere that I cannot access anymore. Broken aliases. The album artwork still shows up, but playing the songs just kicks me back to the album menu. Navigating to Settings > General > Usage > Music shows me there is no data on the device. 0 bytes.
    One thing I notice is that sometimes after syncing a handful of these broken songs will show up in a "Purchased" playlist on my iPhone within the iTunes browser -- I haven't purchased any music from the iTunes store, not one song -- and inspecting them with right click > Get Info reveals them as Stream files, not iTunes Plus AAC files.
    Turning iTunes Match off and on again both from within iTunes and on my iPhone does nothing.
    Syncing wirelessly or via USB does nothing.
    Backing up and restoring my iPhone does nothing.
    Double clicking the Home button and quitting the Music process, then opening it again does nothing.
    Hard resetting the iPhone does nothing.
    This is something that's happening with my Apple ID on the service end, not locally or on the user end. As long as iTunes Match is turned on in my iPhone settings, all of this broken music -- everything I've matched to iCloud and deleted -- shows up. I've done everything within the parameters of proper usage, and iTunes tells me there is nothing in iCloud after it updates but my phone keeps seeing crap that isn't -- or shouldn't be -- there.
    I WANT to use iTunes Match, I just paid 25 freaking dollars for it, but its completely busted for me right now and I know ripping and matching some more CDs is just going to make it worse and populate my iPhone with an even bigger broken library. I just ripped and matched one more CD an hour ago without editing any of the tags, just let iTunes Match do its thing, and then after right clicking and following the prompts to delete the 18 songs both from both iTunes AND iCloud its still showing up on my iPhone. Busted like all the others.
    Can we please get an update on this as soon as possible? This is driving me nuts and I don't know what else to do.

    It's a slightly convoluted process.
    Disable iTunes Match on your iPhone
    Settings > Music > Itunes Match
    Now, make sure you've killed the Music app by double-tapping the home button, and deleting the app there where it is running.  Important step. The app should not be active.
    Next step:
    Settings > General > Usage (it takes a while to load) > then delete the Music app there
    Power your phone down, and back up again.
    Sync your music via iTunes like you always have ...
    ... and this should fix your problem.

  • When receiving phone calls, the background apps play through the speaker making it impossible to hear the person on the other line. How do i fix this? This started happening on my iphone 4 and now i have the same problem with my iphone 4s.

    I once had a phone call in the middle of a trip. I was listening to my music and phone rang. It was work calling. I answered the phone and the music continued to play. I had to tell the person to hold, then i had to use multitask to find the app and manually turn it off. Once that was done, i retrurned to the phone call to find out that when i receive an email it too plays through the speaker while i am on the phone. Why wouldn't it mute these things while i am making a phone call? Is there a setting for this? It seems to me that this only happened since IOS 5, but i can't be 100%. What i am 100% on is the fact that it happened on my Iphone 4 and is now happening on my Iphone 4s.

    The music continued to play with the iPod?
    If so, when a call is received while listening to music with the iPod, when the call is answered the music should be paused. When ending the call, the music starts playing again from where is was paused.
    There is no automatic mute with notifications for received email or messages while on a call and there is no setting for this.

  • Why does the music app on my phone keep skipping songs?

    My music app on my iPhone 4S keeps skipping songs. It will show the album
    cover for a second then it will skip right to the next song and sometimes it will
    skip multiple songs. For example, once it skipped over an entire playlist and
    went to the screen at the end when it showed all of the songs in the playlist.
    I have update 6.0.1 and I haven't used the music app since the last update.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Mine is 18.2Mb it gets to about 37mb tops, Try logging out of the app, remove all apps that are running in the background then shut your phone down and restart, if that does not work hold the power and home button and do a hard reset. You shouldnt loose any data at all but make sure you back up anyway before hand, its just like a forced reboot of a computer really.

  • Ipod Touch 3G no longer plays clock alarm sounds and just pauses and shows alarm messages.

    All of a sudden, I am no longer able to hear clock alarm sounds like I used to.  Until recently, I was able to just play a music file, set the clock alarm with any sound from the selection while being able to preview the sound before I saved it, and then have it play at the time I set the alarm.  Now, whatever music I'm playing just pauses while the alarm goes off and the alarm messages are visble on screen. I went to settings--->general-->sounds and everything is on.  What happened here?

    Yes, I did. All I needed to do was raise the volume from zero to above using the *actual buttons on the side* of the device instead of just the touch screen volume control. If you try to adjust the volume using *only* the touchscreen volume control, the sound of your music and videos will be affected directly as you desire, BUT if the volume control from the *actual buttons on the side* is completely down, the alarm clock will not sound.
    I hope this helps. It may not make sense right off the bat but do give it a try.

  • How do I find the new U2 album on the music app on my iphone? Is there something I need to do to be able to see it ?

    How do I find the new U2 album on the music app on my iphone? Is there something I need to do to be able to see it ?

    Open iTunes app on your phone.  go to Purchases.  It may be in the more section, (The ellipsis icon over the word More). Tap Purchased.  Tap Music. Tap Recent Purchases.  Tap the iCloud icon next to the tracks you want to download.  On my phone the songs were at the beginning of the list because I haven't purchased anything since it was announced this morning. 

  • TS1702 The music app on my Iphone 4S is stuck.

    The music app on my Iphone 4S is stuck.   It keeps playing that same song over and over.  It won't progress to the next song on the playlist on its own, I have to use the next button to move it to the next song manually.  The shuffle doesn't work either.  I was going to delete it and reinstall it, but I can't even get an x to appear in the corner to delete and reinstall it (perhaps because it came preinstalled on the phone).  Anybody have this same problem, or a solution?

    If it keeps repeating the same song, then you probably have Repeat activated. See this graphic for the oval arrow to the left.
    If it is white it is off, if orange it is on. See the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
