Ios8 update music app not working

music app not working after ios8 update

I wanted to add something here that may or may not be accurate, since I was suffering the exact same issues (on an iPhone 6+, and replicated on an iPhone 5 patched to 8.0) you were describing Nick. In an effort to trouble shoot this I picked up one of the third party tools that allows you onto the iOS device file system. I've been trying since Friday night to reproduce the conditions that cause the issue but haven't quite narrowed it down. Including this here in case the Engineers are poking around in the discussion boards and are trying to reproduce this.
This is an iPhone 6+ running 8.0 (12A366) connecting physically to iTunes 11.4 on a MBP running 10.9.5 (13F34; fully patched).
Here's what I did last night and this seems to have worked (meaning, I can sync music now without issue at least for syncs this morning; will confirm tonight by syncing again):
Turned off iTunes Match on the iTunes library I am syncing from
Unchecked all non-AAC music files (Apple lossless and MPEG audio both; these were just flat out refusing to copy over, claiming to have copied but coming up with the exclamation point when accessed on the device via iTunes; none of these lossless or mp3 files have been an issue in any previous version of iOS, meaning they are all of the correct sample and bitrate to be used and can sync to other devices in the household running iOS 7)
Removed all music from the iOS device (by deselecting music syncing)
Hard rebooted the iOS device after disconnecting it; rebooted the iTunes library host
Reconnected the iOS device and fired up the third party app (this is the part I do not recommend, but I was eager to try to figure out what the root cause was)
Removed the iTunes library files on iOS (this is something I had done between other factory resets earlier to force the iOS device to rebuild the library; to rule out library corruption)
Removed any "music" folders remaining on the iOS device (this is also something I had done a few times which had had no effect)
Removed any saved artwork (this was something I had not done before, but I too had noticed a strange correlation between it stopping working and the artwork being synced)
Disconnected and rebooted the iOS device again (forcing a recreation of the iTunes library database files)
Reconnected the device and started syncing small playlists (50-100 songs). In increments it all seems to be syncing up now without issue
The two new steps this time around that seem, at least at initial glance, to have solved the problem are stopping syncing any non-AAC music media files and the deletion of the existing artwork folders on the iOS device. Syncing appears to be working, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the device.

  • Xperia Z: Music app not working well after update to Lollipop

    Hi, the music app isn't working well after I update my phone to Lollipop, all the album art are lost and the music info are messed up. I tried to add album art and edit the music info as well, but after a while, the problem comes back again. Can anyone help please?
    Solved!

    - Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Music -> Force Stop, Uninstall updates, Clear data and restart your phone.
    - Go to Play store and re-update your Music app.

  • Music app not working at all

    Hi,
    A little back story as of how this happened, I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS8 and found out that it was rather laggy on this outdated device, thus, i decided to downgrade back to iOS7.1.2 using a IPSW restore. Thereafter, my apps, contacts, remotely everything was gone when my device booted up from the restoration. I manually downloaded my apps back, iCloud seemed to get my contacts back, but whenever i open my music app, it's always at the album tab and when i attempt to access the 'songs' tab, it just crashes automatically. Tried hard resetting the phone, restarting and what not, it all did not work at all. Also, it is notable that after my restoration back to iOS7.1.2, i could no longer sync my phone to my laptop, with errors like 'syncing cannot be finished because session cannot be finished' Everything is working fine except for the sycning issue and that my music isn't working at all.

    You restored it?
    From backup?
    Or as new?
    Try both.

  • Music App Not Working -- iTunes Match

    I have been having trouble with the Music App on my iPhone 4S ever since I enabled iTunes Match when it became publicly available. I am running iOS 5.0.1 and here is a description of the problem:
    When I play a Smart Playlist that I had developed before adopting iTunes Match, sometimes the downloaded songs (i.e., no iCloud icon) will play and sometimes they will not play. For example, this morning during my workout, the music played flawlessly for about 45 minutes and then for some unseen reason stopped playing. Additionally, sometimes when the songs do play, the wrong Artwork, Artist, and/or Song displays (i.e., different from what's actually playing.
    Here are some of the different things I've tried to isolate whatever variable might be causing the problem:
    Deleting the Music App from the Multitasking memory.
    Restarting the iPhone (i.e., powering off with Sleep button and turning back on).
    Disabling iTunes Match on the phone.
    Playing songs from the Songs area instead of from the Smart Playlist
    Not using shuffle
    Hard restart (i.e., holding Home and Sleep button simultaneously and powering phone back on).
    None of these attempts has solved the problem, insofar as I can tell.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how can this be fixed?
    My next step is to sync my iPhone via USB and wipe all of the music off and discontinue using iTunes Match on my iPhone and just sync the playlists I want from time-to-time. :-/

    I feel your pain. I'm having a ton of issues with iTunes Match also. It happens on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4, but is more frequent on my iPhone. I download a bunch of music from the cloud and it works for a few days, but then it will randomly do as you describe. It says that it's "playing" but does nothing at all. Even if I skip a track and try again but nothing happens. It may later play the tracks on another day (I didn't do anything differently). Other times it just skips over a few songs acting like its not even on the phone.
    I've deleted my library and redownloaded more times that I can count. I'm pretty frustrated and I hope that apple fixes this soon! I can understand why you want to revert back to the old way of syncing your music, however I would really rather have the product (that I've paid for) work as advertised. Anyways, if I can't get it up and running again later this weekend I'll revert back to the old way also seeing how I can't even listen to music on my device anyways.

  • Updates for apps not working

    ive got an iPhone 4s. Tons of apps installed
    Yesterday I had an update for an app. A red 1 appearing on the App Store icon. Went to update the app and instead it opened the app instead of updating it !
    Now I've got 3 updates. I go to update the app and same thing. Friends on a forum I post on are having the same issue
    How come I can't update my apps ??  Never had this before.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • Music app not working

    The shuttle function constantly scans without playing. I have the most recent OS update,

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • HondaLink Apps not working in iOS8, was working in iOS7

    HondaLink Apps not working in iOS8, was working in iOS7.  Any fix?

    Easy fix.  Rename your iPhone so that the word "iPhone" is not part of the name.
    Hondalink will immediately recognize the device.  Just spoke with Honda customer service and this is what they suggested.  It worked right away.

  • App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9 using a proxy server

    App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9. these problems are interrelated I am sure. Apple apps were working fine in 10.8.5 I could do software updates through a proxy server using password authentication. I reinstalled a new system 10.9 on another partition and it won't let me use Safari or update software using a proxy server. Firefox works fine (I am using it to post). I am very disappointed that this wasn not fully tested BEFORE releasing Mavericks. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this problem myself.
    Checked the system log with Console, and I found the entry:-
    Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
    For some unknown reason, Mavericks seems to be looking in the System keychain, when these credentials are actually held in the Login keychain.
    So, I tried "Copy & Paste"  - copying the https user name & password from the Login keychain and pasting into the System keychain, which worked but it's not quite as straightforward as I initially thought.
    Pasting into the System Keychain was, I found a not-very-intuitive process:
    Having opened your Login Keychain, click once on the item to be copied and when it's highlighted, select "Copy" from the Edit menu or, of course, cmd+c.
    Select the System Keychain:- DO NOT CLICK THE PADLOCK IN THE TOP LEFT TO UNLOCK IT.
    From the Edit menu, select "Paste" or cmd+v.
    You will then get a dialogue box,, enter your administrator's password and select "Modify Keychain" or just hit return, as it's the default entry.
    I found a restart was in order before it recognised everything and would accept https pages without alert boxes, but YMMV.
    Funnily enough - and this is where it seems counter-intuitive, if you do click on the padlock and unlock the System Keychain, "Paste" is greyed out in the Edit menu and cmd+v has no effect.
    Exactly the opposite to what I'd expect..

  • Apps not working with docomo after updating new sw...

    hello brother,
    i have updated my nokia c2-00 sw v3.99 .
    After updating new sw v.3.99 my apps not working with tata docomo only .
    Docomo is my personal sim-card.
    What can do for get ride it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello, Premkoli. Which specific apps are you referring to? Are these apps downloaded from the Store, or preloaded ones? When you say 'my apps not working with tata docomo only', does it mean that these apps work with other SIM cards aside from TaTa Docomo? How did you update your Nokia C2-00? Is it by going to Settings > Phone > Device Updates > Check for updates, or via Nokia Suite?
    Since the issue started after the software update, you can try to reinstall the phone's SW via Nokia Suite. Just download it on your PC, and then connect the phone via a compatible USB cable. After that, launch Nokia Suite, and the go to SW Updates > Device Software Updates > Reinstall current SW. After that, try opening the same apps and see if they'll work with your Docomo SIM card. Get Nokia Suite from this link: Nokia Suite
    Let us know the outcome.
