IPhone doesn't display song lyrics

Since last iOS update (4.3.3) my iPhone doesn't display song lyrics anymore. That is, it displays only when I switch back to the album cover view and back to the lyrics view. When the next song starts, again only album cover art remains visible with the scrolling bar at the top, but lyrics is missing. Tap once to remove scrolling bar at the top, tap again and both scrolling bar and lyrics appear. And so for almost all tracks. Last iOS update to 4.3.4 didn't change anything here. Any ideas?

when ? - maybe with next firmware upgrade? - I don't perceive this as a hardwared issue, but a firmware update issue? would you agree?

How do I display song lyrics while an iTunes song is playing?

songs purchased in iTunes don't come with the lyrics. you could, however teadious, find the lyrics online, copy and paste them into the comments section when right click and select "get info" and go to info.
after that whatever you place in those comments will show up on an ipod touch or iphone. therefore you can see lyrics if thats what you put in there.

My Ipad will not display song lyrics

I upgraded to ios 5 and it will not display song lyrics for songs that I put lyrics in for.
any ideas?

I tried Lyrics View but it didn't work well for me. It listed music by song title, there was no way to change that to list by artist or album, and it was difficult to select a song to listen to; often a different one would play than the one highlighted.
Pauser Pro works better but it's still frustrating. I do enjoy being able to see lyrics again, but music is listed alphabetically by song title rather than by artist or album, and there is no preference panel which lets you change that by default. If you want to hear all the songs on a specific album and you select the artist, you get an alphabetized list of his or her songs with a blue cross to the left of each. Clicking All Songs places them on a list, which you can then click on to play a specific song. But you have to put the songs in that list first, and I was unable to make separate lists for each artist; attempts to do so led to them all being placed at the end of the first list.
I was finally able to make up a Playlist using a specific genre on iTunes on my computer, transfer it to my iPad, and then access it through Pauser Pro, but the artists were again mostly mixed up and it took a very long time to rearrange them by artist so I could select one and hear all the songs by one person or group. Of course, after that it continues to the next artist on the list, but at least I don't have to keep fiddling with it while I'm busy doing something else and just trying to enjoy some music.
I contacted the developer about these issues and essentially was told that the app was primarily developed for professionals performing on a stage and that it worked well for that purpose. I'm still not clear on how to create discrete lists in one wished to do that, though.

I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use..

I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.

IPhone doesn't display iPhone is activated after restore

I restored my phone and also when updating it doesn't display iPhone is activated

But does it work? Mine hasn't displayed "activated" for a while, but it still works after updating.

Spotify Desktop does not display song lyrics

Hi, my network has speeds above 100mbps, I believe that is enough to display the lyrics of the songs, but since installing the application for Windows. By clicking on lyrics appears the screen below.

I have a similar problem, and I don't even get the monkey error. All I get is a black screen in that section of the app that should have the lyrics and/or monkey. Edit: Spotify just crashed (I had tried restarting it 2 or 3 times already) and now lyrics are working fine. No clue what was causing the problem.

Smart playlist on iphone doesn't display all songs in "list" view

So first, how I organize my mp3s, so you understand how I do things.
I have one "main" smart playlist that I use. It's only rule is to only include songs that are a part of a certain album.
I then edit every song I want in that playlist to be in that album.
In iTunes, this playlist has 136 songs. When I sync, ALL of them transfer, and ALL of them are on the phone.
When I play the playlist on the phone, ALL of them do play. I can cycle through all 136 of them.
My problem is this: When I enter the "playlist view" (I dont know what it's called, but THIS view: http://i.imgur.com/z4ZIK.jpg ), not all songs display anymore. I used to have all 136 songs displaying, and I could scroll to any of them to play. Now, its split up in chunks. What I mean by that is, maybe 20 songs are displayed, and if the playlist random shuffles to a song in the playlist but NOT part of that 20, that song may be a part of, say, 6 other songs in the playlist, or it may be solo in that view. All the songs still play, all 136, they're all still on the playlist and shuffle WILL play them all eventually, but they do NOT all appear in this "playlist view" (again, I dont know exactly what its called, but I'm talking about this screen: http://i.imgur.com/z4ZIK.jpg ). There also seems to be no pattern as to what songs are displayed. I have no idea why they're seperated in chunks like this.
Why don't all my 136 songs appear on this screen anymore? I thought maybe the phone or itunes is sorting them differently now, maybe by album art or something, so I made sure ALL songs are COMPLETELY IDENTICAL in terms of info aside from song name and artist name. ALL songs have the same artwork, album, album artist, grouping, composer, comments, they are ALL set to "part of a compliation" (I have also tried setting them all to NOT be part of complilation).
All I want is all 136 songs in my playlist to be displayed on that screen. It used to, but as of maybe a few months ago it started doing this. I'm not sure if I explained the problem correctly but that's the best I can do.

Well, the saga continues (some people must be getting a laugh at me talking to myself).
Turns out my PlayList which was supposed to read...
- Genre is Ambient
- Media Kind is Music
- Last Play is not in the last 60 days
- Limit to 1 hour selected by random
- Live Updating
... actually said "- Last Play *is* in the last 60 days"
When I changed that and resync'd it worked, however it still doesn't explain why the two playlists (iTunes and iPod) were totally different.
Oh well. Thanks for being my shrink for the day and letting me vent.

Wifi connection requires username, which iPhone doesn't display

I can use my wireless at home but at work they require a user name as well. The problem is my iPhone 4 only has asks for password, and offers noplace I can enter my user name.
Any ideas?
My iphone 3G never had this problem so I'm stumped.

I just re-read my post and it sounds like I was drunk when I wrote it. Just to be clear: I'm trying to authenticate with a wireless network that requires both a user name and password, but the iPhone only presents a field to enter the password.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html
now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
\private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
\private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
\private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db
TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97)

Wrong song plays on iPhone 4S when specific song is selected, but correct cover art displayed

I recently downloaded "It Will Rain" (Bruno Mars) from iTunes and played it numerous times yesterday, as I usually do with any new downloaded song. However, after syncing iPhone 4S with computer today just to do some updating of my file sharing, my iPhone now plays the song that is listed after it even though the "It Will Rain" artwork and name is displayed correctly. It basically won't play the song anymore when selected. I even tried to go down the list to see if it would play if it wasn't selected directly and it seems like it takes awhile and then ends up skipping over to the next song, still displaying the "It Will Rain" cover art. I tried re-syncing and the problem doesn't appear to be within my iTunes account because it plays fine there. Not sure what to do at this point. iTunes won't let me repurchase it (not that I would want to have to).

I am now missing 26 songs from my Iphone. (After resynching it told me 26 songs could not be downloaded and to see Itunes for more info, of course Itunes had no info). So now I am missing 26 songs and cant figure out how to get them back. They play through my laptop and my Ipad but I cant even see them on my Iphone anymore. I'm starting to regret my upgrade to the 4s. Help Apple!
Were these 26 songs purchased directly from the iPhone? If so, these might be "ghost" entries ... connect your iPhone to iTunes and click on the small arrow to the left of your iPhone's name. Select the iPhone's "Music" category and see if these 26 phantom songs appear grayed out. If so, that's probably what the message is about. I have the same problem, although for each of my 9 "ghost" songs on my iPhone I have legitimate entries that play just fine. I can only see these phantom entries on my iPhone when I view its contents through iTunes (and I get the same error message you get). Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for the error message, but ...
If these 26 songs really are in your iTunes library, are they set to be sync'd to your iPhone? (assuming that you auto-sync) In other words, are you either syncing your entire library, or at least a playlist (or genre) that you auto-sync to? If they're not part of your auto-sync categories, then they won't go back onto your iPhone until you designate them to auto-sync to your device.
If you manually manage music on your iPhone, can you drag and drop these 26 songs to your iPhone?

I have all my songs in my iTunes library on the computer, but when I press the button to sync it, it doesn't put the songs on my iPhone. I have songs from my iPod on here too. How do I get it to put the songs on my iPhone?

I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?
