IPhone 4s iOS6 Music Player Sleep Function

Am I missung something in the music player on the iPhone. Is there no Sleep Function? If there is no sleep function how could Apple overlook this feature. I remember having it on my iPod Classic.

Not sure why you are having problems. I have had no problems with my 4S playing music after the update. Hopefully you will get it worked out.

Using iPhone as a music player at work...best battery practice?

I'm using my iPhone as a music player at work. I have a power cable (one that plugs into the wall, not a computer) and am wondering if it will harm my battery's longevity if I leave the power connected all day.

You do not have to worry about your iPhone overcharging, but all li-ion batteries need to get some "exercise," so be sure you use the phone on battery power from time to time to ensure longest battery life.

How do I use my original iphone as a music player?

I've upgraded my iphones through the years, but I always kept my first one. It's an 8GB original iphone, and I'd like to give it to my 12 year old to use as a music player with itunes. I tried connecting it to my current itunes (11.0.3.42), and it doesn't even recognize a device is connected. It just displays the icon of a USB connector and an arrow pointing to an itunes icon.
Do I need to install an old version itunes to make it work? Where do I find links to old itunes downloads?
Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?
Has anyone else done this recently? Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what you've tried already, but have you considered reset, restore or both? I had recently done this to my iPhone-1st Gen for a different reason. After the restore, make sure to give the iPhone-1 a separate name from your main mobile device.
The new name is only so you can recognize the different sync settings and playlists on the older device. iTunes software can tell the difference wheter you rename or not. Just make sure that you always use the correct backup when you sync, reset or restore.
How to Reset
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data. Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Disconnect the iDevice from the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes. My guess is that the reset did not work.
How to Restore
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Connect the iDevice to the computer.
Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

Iphone 4s ios7 music player was not working, here's a bug fix.

hi there
i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone. so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help. hopin this will help some of you out there. and i already feed it back to Apple, so hopefully they will fix it soon.

Not sure why you are having problems. I have had no problems with my 4S playing music after the update. Hopefully you will get it worked out.

IOS6 music player or video no longer plays from speakers

After upgrading my iphone 4s to iOS 6, I no longer have access to the volume bar when i want to listen to music or watch movies on my phones speakers, I've tried rebooting the phone several times and it comes back momentarely when the phone opens but dissapears soon after and becomes mute, any suggestions?

Do you use Glimmerblocker, or any other advert/content/security blocking/filtering software ?
Yes, I use Sophos. But, recall that with another browser (Chrome), video plays fine. So the issue is not with Sophos per se.
Safari-Preferences-Extensions is set to OFF ?
I just turned Safari-Preferences-Extensions to OFF. Video will sill not play.
Regarding;"
check System Preferences - Flash Player - Storage tab to see that 'allow sites to save information..." is on.
In the Advanced tab - click 'delete all' ?"
I did this, but, I an unable to delete all the Site Data; I get an error box: "Flash Player was unable to delete all local storage. The files may be locked by another program. Close all browsers or restart your computer, and try again."
I get this error even with all the browsers are closed.
I think this points to our bug: Only in my Mac OS user profile and only in Safari there seems to be some Flash Player file which is either 'open' or 'locked' to deleting.
Where could that pesky file be????

Iphone 4s itunes music player gone haywire.

I plugged my phone into my computer and clicked "restore backup". Now when I open up my music in my iphone it starts skipping and rapidly going through songs and won't play anything. I tried syncing my itunes library and my phone.
The moment I click on my music app all of my albums start flashing before my eyes. It just won't stop cycling though.

Not sure why you are having problems. I have had no problems with my 4S playing music after the update. Hopefully you will get it worked out.

Can I use my iPhone G3 as a music player?

I have an old iPhone 3G still sitting around after upgrading to an iPhone 5C. My question is can I use the 3G iPhone as a music player only, and if so what do I need to do if anything for the iPhone to show in my iTunes device list? Thanks

Yes you can use it, restore it, then sync your music using itunes.

Using the iPhone to play music in a VW beetle

Guys, hello
I bought a VW beetle that has a factory installed cable to plug the iPhone through the dock connector and play the music and browse the lists through the stereo.
The issue that I have is that when I do that I can no longer access the music through the iPhone menu, as the music application locks and I can only access the menus through the stereo which is complicated with large lists.
The 2nd day I had the car somehow I could plug the iPhone and the music menu remained functional but it won't happen anymore.
Thanks for the help

when you use this device you only can select music from it not from iPhone sometimes the app has a problem and show the music on iPhone

Music player bug on iPhone 5 after iOS7.1.1 update

Good day everyone,
There are over 30,000 discussions here so i would like to post this report. after i updated my iphone5 to ios 7.1.1 i have been experiencing a bug with the music player. the bug is when i started to play a playlist and tried to select other song within the playlist while a music is running, my action give a next command instead of playing the music that i selected.
i hope for your quick resolution.
thank you..

I think all you need to do is Reset your iPhone (press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release). My iPhone 5 on 7.1.1 does not do this, so it is not an iOS bug, just a quirk in your particular installation. Worse case, you may need to do a Restore of the iPhone, but try Reset first.

Since update to iOS7 my iPhone the music player does not play music videos in landscape/fullscreen anymore, how can this be fixed?

The music player only shows all the album covers but doesn't play the video. Only in portait mode it plays the video in a very small window. Makes no sense at all, worked perfectly in iOS6.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Did you try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

My iphone music player automatically stop when i was playing music

Try This...

Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

How can I stop my iPhone 5 from starting the music player randomly on its own?

I have an iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS. Sometime last year (maybe shortly after I originally upgraded to iOS 7), the phone developed a nasty habit of starting up the music player during phone conversations when I connected to my Mazda's Bluetooth system. Oddly enough, I can hear the music playing over the phone conversation but the person on the other end of the phone line can't. To stop the music, I have to open the Music App and then close the App. Note that the Music App did NOT have to be previously open for the music to start, and the Music App doesn't usually show as an open App even after the music starts on its own. The problem has persisted through the last few iOS updates and it now happens in a broader range of circumstances (e.g., I have told the iPhone to forget the Mazda adapter, and it now does the same thing with my Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset). I usually have to go through this sequence at least twice per Bluetooth pairing session before the phone stops trying to start the music player on its own during phone calls.
The problem went away temporarily when I did a full reset of the phone, but it came back after a few days (even when I added apps & music back without restoring from an iOS backup).
Has anyone found a way to fix this problem once and for all? If I can find a fix, it's enough of an annoyance that it might convince me to go Android with my next phone. Thanks in advance...

I've tried syncing with itunes and icloud. The missing contacts are nowhere to be found. I just re-enter them on my iphone and proceed on my not so merry way. Next time I look for a contact, it might be there or it might not. It is not necessarily the same contact. It appears that my oldest contacts seem to be the ones disappearing
