IPhone 5 music app won't play. Stuck in infinite shuffle.

I recently received my iPhone 5 and everything went smoothly setting it up from backup. However, the music.app opens but is continuously shuffling. Music won't play. It will just cycle through songs without playing anything. My question is am I going to have to restore it or am I going to have to wait on an update? And yes I have already done a hard reset. Thanks!

I saw in one of the other similar posts that a person said to unclick the "sync music" box, sync, click the sync music again, disconnect, reconnect, and then re-sync.  I missed the disconnect and reconnect part, so it didn't work, but when I disconnected/reconnected, it worked.  It was as if my phone didn't fully sync previously because it literally had to sync all of my music.  However, now the endless shuffling and greyed out lists are gone.  It works just as it should!  Hope this works for you too!

  • 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.

  • Store button on music app won't open?  Any suggestions?

    Store button on music app won't open?  Any suggestions?

    This is what I did:
    1a. Podcasts app deleted from the iPhone.  Doesn't show on any of the home screens on the iPhone.  The button next to the Podcasts app in iTunes says "Install".  Synching the iPhone with iTunes generates the message "The Podcasts app is not installed on 'Maggie's iPhone 4', so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone"
    1b. Clicked the "Install" button for the Podcasts app in iTunes.  It now displays "Will Install"
    1c. Clicked "Apply" in iTunes to start iPhone sync.  iTunes shows "Copying 1 of 1: Podcasts"
    1d. Podcasts app icon is shown correctly on one of the iPhone home screens.  Previously, the Podcast app icon was a generic placeholder icon. 
    1e. Resyched iPhone and launched Podcasts app.  Everything now working properly.
    2 & 3. Didn't have to perform these steps, which implies that earlier suggestions contributed to the fix.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

    How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

    You can simply set your system preferences

    Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

  • Music app won't open on iPhone 4 after update to iOS 6

    Listened to music for a bit and now the app starts opening with the outline and nothing appears...after about 20 seconds app disappears from screen. Tried closin an reopening, rebooting the phone, nothing works....anyone know how to fix this? Cheers

    Thanks but I tried that already and didn't work. I managed to fix it by closing music app, turned iTunes Match off, then deleted all music from the phone. Then turned iTunes Match on and opened music and all good now. Seems a bit slow tho especially browsing songs as I have loads. Cheers

  • IPhone 4S skipping songs/won't play some

    I recently updated my iPhone 4S, in doing so, I had to reset it and restore it from my back up. Now that I've done that, when I'm playing music from my iTunes, it wil skip the most recently added songs and won't play them at all if you try and click on them manually to play them. It shows them as on my phone in my iTunes on the computer, but won't play them. HELP! Alot are for my wedding and I can't figure out how to fix this!!

    Hi, In my case I had a memory space problem. Some songs were on the phone and some not.
    - Gain space on your phone (copy alle the photos to hard drive before, then delete them)
    - Sync your phone again with iTunes, he will copy the songs on your phone

  • IPhone 3rd party apps won't launch anymore!

    After updating the iPhone software to 3.1, a host of 3rd-party apps won't launch anymore (appear for 1 second, then revert back to the apps icons page).
    I've tried upgrading to iTunes 9, uninstalling then reinstalling ALL apps on the iPhone via iTunes, hard rebooting my iPhone, restarting my iMac, etc etc, but nothing works.
    On a iPhone 3Gs page on the Forums, I saw many others having similar difficulties and blaming it on the XX upgrade. One solution proposed there was to download a free app from the App Store and install it. Tried that, and it didn't work for me.
    I hope Apple will give this attention, because it's basically disabled my iPhone's business-sensitive functionalities (like 1Password) on the eve of a 2week business trip ... and on business trips, I don't have my iMac with me! >:-(
    In case it helps the OS is showing as 3.1 (7C144) on my device.

    Hi!
    I may have a solution to your problem. I updated to Firmware 3.1 today and couldn´t open any application i downloaded. I seems the updated version of iTunes handles apps a little different from before. When you connect your iPhone and it pops up in iTunes, right click on it to enter your configuration area (for the iPhone). At the top bar you have a row of options like music, pictures, podcast and somewhere in the middle you have the option "Programs". Click on that and you will see a list of all the programs you have downloaded in iTunes. Unfortunatly you have to recheck all the boxes at the left side of the program you want to be synched to your iPhone. Check these boxes and click "Apply" at the bottom right and iTunes will now transfer them to your iPhone. Easy breasy when you know how to do.
    Best of luck, Cheers!

  • IPhone 6 Videos app won't rotate

    Hi Everyone,
    Recently, my iPhone 6 Videos apps is stuck in landscape mode and won't rotate the screen.
    Symptoms: the iPhone refuses to rotate the display in Videos. All other apps rotate fine.
    Toggling orientation lock makes no difference. Portrait lock, standard view, adjusting compass, restart and restore didn't fix the problem.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    Restore as new.

  • Purchased music that won't play

    I used to have the iPhone 4 now I have the 4s.  Some of the music I purchased on the iPhone 4 seems to have transferred but not correctly.  The info is on the 4s for the music but when I click a song it won't play it skips to the next available song.  So far it's only been 1 album and a couple of songs that I had purchased on the 4.  I've tried resyncing the music library several times both by just resyncing and by wiping the music off.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Turns out that he was right in that for some reason I had to reauthorize my computer.  However, I felt it completely odd considering they played on my previous phone from my mac and it was my Apple ID.  So weird.  So I authorized the computer and it worked they play now.
