IOS 5 Allow customization of Music App

In the iPhone, I can customize the Music App so that I can add "podcasts" to the main page instead of having to press 'More' then choose Podcasts. This feature seems to be removed from the iPad firmware. This is very annoying. I use more podcasts than music and I now have an additional step that I can't customize or change the defaults for just to listen to my podcasts. Is there a way to change the options at the bottom of the Music App??
This is by far the most inconsistent iOS upgrade that I have ever done. Did Apple even QA this stuff?!?

Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
In the meantime, many people have suggested Groove as a replacement for the Music app.
Best of luck.

I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..

I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..

Yes. get a computer with iTune 10.5 and:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other stuff using a third-party program like one of those discussed here. Most are good for music. It is harder to find one for other stuff like synced photos.
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
- Restore the iPod from backup and sync as neccessary.

IOS 5.1 update and Music App Artist sort

Since I have updated my iPhone to iOS 5.1, I have noticed something in my music app. When I select to sort my library by Artist, it now includes every artist that is included on any compilations I have. This wasn't doing this before.
Whenever I had a song designated as a "compilation" it kept it listed/indexed separately and each individual artist did not show up in the Artist list...only those with complete/multiple albums did.
Now that it's changed, it's really garbled up browsing. I have a big compilation of 80's music on my phone and each and every one-hit wonder from that decade has an entry in the Artist list...takes me forever to find anything now.
I have scoured my settings and preferences but cannot find a way to make this like it was before. Did anyone else notice that this happened. Or am I just completely blind and missing a very obvious setting that might have gotten tripped to 'default' when the update was done.

No one else have this happen to them....?
If you run a restore on the iPhone, will that erase all of the apps as well? I'm thinking of doing that...

IOS 7.1 and APPLE Music APP

After the ios 7.1 update, when going into my Apple Music App and playing songs, when selecting a song the system does not play the song selected....it plays a song that is 3 or four titles ABOVE the selected song. The location seems to change but what is constant is that when selecting a song the system DOES NOT play tha song that I select. Anyone assistance and/or anyone else experiencing this issue? Thank you!

Hey DDKieffer,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Music application. To troubleshoot these issues, let’s force the app to close, and then restart your device:

After IOS 8.3 update my music app shuts down everytime I try to open it!!!!!I

i Just updated my iphone 6 to the new IOS 8.3 software and now everytime I try to open my music app it shuts down inmediately!!! It never happend before the IOS UPDATE

The reset didn't work for me.
I was able to start Music and then really quickly tap to get out of the playlist I was on, and then I was able to play music normally from a different playlist. I just removed the offending playlist from my phone and now I'm re-syncing to see if the issue persists.

I have the I pod touch 4t h gen and I want iOS 6 will all my music,apps. How do I get my iTunes music back if my music goes away

O have the iPod 4th gen and I want iOS 6 what will happen to my music that I got on iTunes and my videos and my apps

- If you update via wif (you already have iOS 5, nothing will be lost unless there is a glitch. Some users have them
- If you update via iTunes/USB, all your synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media.
- I would also backup everything to a location besides your computer since things happen sometimes.
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
- I backed up to both iTunes and iCloud before I did a wifi update.

Update ios 5.0.1 now music app crush

crush when playing music

That huge amount of "other" means that you had a corrupt sync at some point and that is probably causing your problem. "Other" is all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, calendar items, Safari history and things of that nature. It should never balloon to that big of a size. You are doing what you have to do to remove that massive "other" content - you do have to restore your iPad.
Good luck!
BTW .... One other suggestion that might have helped would have been to unsync all of your music - uncheck the Sync Music heading in iTunes and then sync to "remove" all of the music. Then quit iTunes, restart iTunes - Check the Sync Music heading this time and sync again. Sometimes that will work to restore the music to the iPad.

Music App iOS 7

I recently updated my iPhone 4 from iOS 5 to iOS 7.1.2. I was happy with iOS 5 and only upgraded because most of my apps stopped supporting iOS 5.
I am very unhappy with iOS 7, specifically with its Music App. Here's my problem:
The music app randomly "resets" the songs that I was listening to and paused. For example, I would stop a song at 1:54, put my phone to sleep mode, and re-open the music app. Occasionally, the app would take long to start and the song would be reset to 0:00. The occurance of this issue is absolutely random. I cannot reproduce it. It seems to be unrelated to the use of other media apps such as Youtube or Spotify. It is also unrelated to the time period that I am not using my phone. I may not use it for 12 hours and the song would still be at the correct position, but then I may only have put it to sleep mode for 30 minutes and the song would be reset. It seems to be totally random.
Here's what I tried:
I toggled the "Only music that has been downloaded to this device will be shown" switch.
I reset my phone
I tried not to use other media apps
Anyone knows how to solve this issue? I like to listen to audiobooks with files as long as 01:30h and this is very annoying. I should also add that the fast forward function in iOS 7 is much less comfortable than it was in iOS 5, but that's just a sidenote.
In case there is no solution to this problem, are there any third party music player apps that allow me to play the mp3s I uploaded to my phone?
Thanks

Hi there Aang,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

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.

How do i change the settings on the music app so i don't view my purchase history

I have updated to ios 7 and now the music app shows every song i have purchased even though they are not downloaded. Is there a way to change the settings so only the downloaded song appere

my son had this problem. I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone.. They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them. I did. They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon. There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off. I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
I hope this helps.

Music app on reverted iPad crashes

After successfully reverting my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.2, my Music app (Apple app; can't be deleted and reloaded) crashes on start.
Anybody else experiencing this and is there a solution for this?

Did you find a solution for this? The same thing just started happening to me today on an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2.

The 'now playing' feature has gone from my music app on the iphone 6 after the ios 8.3 update. When i go to continue listening to music after a break it does not allow me to continue where i left of as the 'now playing' feature has gone

I have an iphone 6 ios 8.3, the 'now playing' function seems to have disappeared from my music app so if I listen to an album halfway through then take a break when I go back later the 'now playing' feature is not there and it returns me to the artist page. Can anyone help? its the first time I've had this issue.

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

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...

Can't delete iTunes Match music from Music app in iOS 6 Music app?!

Totally insane - the ability to delete music downloaded from iTunes match has been removed from the iOS 6 Music app! No more "swipe left and delete". I can't find any way to delete music, in fact. Can someone please tell me this is a massive mistake that will quickly be fixed. How did this make it through to the final release?!

The topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum.
Apple change the way iTM works in iOS 6 to no longer allow downloading or deleting of individual tracks with iTunes Match enabled. To delete individual tracks iTM must first be disabled; to delete all downloaded music from the iOS device go to settings > general > usage, tap Music then swipe All Music and tap delete.

No podcasts in iOS 7 Music app?

When the Podcast app was first released, I installed it and found that podcasts were no longer listed in the Music app. This led to an issue for me when I connetec my iPhone 4--and later iPhone 5--to the USB port in my 2011 Honda Accord. If I had been listening to a 'cast prior to connection, I could get a about a minute of it in the car before the Honda software identified it as 'unsupported.' By deleting the Podcast app in iOS 6, Podcasts returned to the Music app and I could access them in the car without issue. Now...iOS 7...reminds me that without the Podcast app, I will not be able to listen to podcasts. I installed the Podcast app, confirmed all of my subscriptions were there, deleted it and restarted the phone. Opened the Music app...no podcasts. What is the rationale for removing this choice from me? Now, I need to carry an old 80GB iPod Classic which CAN talk to my car's software and allows me to use the in-dash displays to review the podcasts (and music) available. What, Jony Ives, is the benefit in forcing me to do things your way? Can I have podcasts back in the Music app in iOS 7.0.1, please?

Maybe you should get a new car.
