IPhone/iTouch 2.0 software music, vid and photo resume problem

Hi all,
Not sure whether anyone else is getting the same problem or not but I seem to have problems resuming after I installed the 2.0 software upgrade.
For example if I am listening to music and I watch a video then return to listening music, the music does not resume from the last one I was playing. Instead it just goes back to my Song List. And same in reverse. If I was watching a movie halfway and then go back to the video list all it shows is the top of the list. In the old 1.1.4 software it used to go back to the same position on the list as I was previously at.
This issue also happens with Photos. For example if I was viewing a picture in the Photos page and then go to another option such as Music, Video etc. When I return to the Photo page all it does is go back to my Albums and not the last picture I was viewing.
This issue never happened with the old software and it is really frustrating when I watch a video and then try to listen the previous song I listened to but instead it just goes back to the default page.
I have just played around with it and it seems ok when I try to view photos when I am listening to music. When I go back to the music it still resumes from the current song I am listening to.
But it still does not do it when I listen to music, then watch video. Like I said, it just goes back to the Song List which means that I have to search again for the song that I was last playing and play that. And that also means that I have to start my playlist again from the start and it reshuffles again.
Is this how it's meant to be from now on? Or just a bug?
Please fix this as this is a really annoying problem when I try to resume the previous song I am listening to.
Thanks.

I'm also having this problem
I believe that it should behave this way - the "remember playback position" should be enabled by default and then removed if necessary.
Why would they disable this feature? it doesn't make sense, for any reason.
It can't be a resources issue - it's not really a multi-tasking device.
"remember playback position".. did NOT fix the problem - music still wont resume "where left off" even though i have selected the "remember playback position"..
it just plays the tracks that have already been played, and then skipped, from the position they were at before they were skipped - which is how THAT feature is meant to work.
so.. no, this is not the way the Touch is meant to work - they broke it with the
2.1 update - otherwise why would it have functioned that way up until the update?? Please restore this function?!
If you're watching these forums, Apple Support People - please include this as a bug report?? there doesn't seem to be a way to submit bug reports for iPods, only for iTunes itself - which doesn't make sense.. a 'free' product gets support and feedback options, whereas a product i have paid good money for does not!!

I am also experiencing the same issues, is there any fix or setting I can alter so that it doesn't reset my music playlist when I watch a video?

No. Look at the section titled Updating your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1?

How do I empty trash after deleting music, apps and photos from my iPhone to make more room for upgrading to iOS 8.1? It says I don't have enough room to upgrade so I have deleted some of everything but do not see an improvement in my storage space. Help?

No need to empty anything.
You can update by connecting your phone to iTunes on your computer. This way you bypass the space limitations.
Good Luck

IPod Touch, Music, Video, and Photo icons on iPhone

Is there a way to show Music, Video, and Photo as their own icons instead of having one iPod icon?

I guess not? Might i have to jailbreak?

How do I find out which computer I sync music, videos and photos on?

I am about to update my iPhone to iOS 4.2 but it tells me that to preserve my media, I should apply this update on "the computer where you sync music, videos and photos". How do I find out what that computer is?

You should be regularly backing up then you can just move your library to a new computer and sync there.
If you don't have one then you will have to transfer purchases (grab a 3rd party program for non-purchased content) and then sync to the new computer

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I have a playlist that I only sync to my iPhone once a year (Christmas Music). I checked it on the list to sync, along with all my other playlists but when I Apply it and Sync it, the Christmas Music Playlist does not show up. It showed up one time with only 2 of 238 songs. Then it showed up with the music in the iCloud, but would only play 3 songs and would skip through a bunch of songs ending up on only those 3 songs. I can't tell you how many times I have "Synced" my phone trying to get the Christmas Playlist to show up. I changed the name, deleted the playlist and reinstalled it, deleted it on the phone and tried to reinstall it on the phone manually. Can't get it to work. Christmas will be over and I will not be able to listen to my music. THX, Lynn

Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck.

Is it possible to sync an iPhone to one mac for music only and another mac for everything else? What about shared iPhoto?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage my iphone and that of my wife.
Our set up is that we share music that is on my imac under my apple store id. We also like to have all of our photos in iphoto on that imac.
She has her own macbook and I'd like to use icloud to sink her personal bookmarks, calendar and other stuff.
I've thought about seeing if I could set her phone up to sync with icloud as appropriate, turn on wireless sync on her imac for syncing everything but music, then sync that same iphone on the imact but just sync music.
I've tried to point her macbook to my imac itunes library and that doesn't seem to be working very well.
The other wrinkle is that she is taking photos on her iphone that I'd like to show up in our shared iphoto library and photo stream. Currently we have our individual icloud apple ids so we may sync our own bookmarks and such and we use a separate "store" id for music and apps and such. I'm not sure I see a way for me to merge iphotos into a shared library/stream?
1. Any thoughts on the best way to manage two iphones, each with their own computer, but a shared music library?
2. Any thoughts on the best way to merge iphoto?
I've been experimenting with setups and I have a feeling folks with more experience have probably worked this out better than the way I'm thinking of doing.
Thanks.

Help! iPhone 5 works with iCloud for Contacts and Photo Stream, but Not Music!

Okay, totally stumped! I have an iPhone 5, which, new, I restored from wife's iPhone 4 backup, remotely (3 Months ago). I just signed into our family Apple ID, chose the most recent backup, and did a restore. So, contacts, and photos and Apps backup to the cloud instantly, which is shared on all devices. Likewise, when my wife takes a phone picture, I can see it in the stream: all without doing an iTunes Sync. My phone's settings have my number associated with my contact card, so the phone doesn't "think" it is my wife's phone.
The dilemna: iCloud won't send my phone new music purchases from our iMac, or iPad. My phone has it's own physical identity on Find My iPhone, but interestingly, it does not appear in the list of devices, in the "Manage my Devices" section when I am signed into iTunes with my Apple ID. Furthermore, even though I have the phone settings to Sync with iTunes wirelessly, when plugged into AC power, with iTunes on, the iPhone 5 does initiate backups with iTunes; even after rebooting iTunes. My phone does not appear in the list of devices for iTunes, AND the only way I can sync with my computer is with the USB/Lightning cable. Even then, I do not get music purchases to load onto my iPhone which i have bought on my computer.
Currently running Mac OSX 10.7.5 on my iMac and IOS 6.1 on my iPhone5.
Appreciate any help,
THANKS

The way I do that is to organize them on my computer. I periodically import all of the Camera Roll to the computer. That is a good thing to do to insure you have a copy in case of loss of the phone or other problem, even if you backup the phone. Import can be done by methods described in iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Once they are on the computer I organize them in iPhoto on my Mac. If you have a Windows computer you can organize them in folders. Once they are on the computer I delete them all from the Camera Roll on the phone to make it easier next time -- i.e., the Camera Roll always only contains the photos that I haven't yet organized.
I only want some of the pictures that I am keeping to be sent back to the phone, so in Windows I made a second copy of those (in iPhoto on a Mac I use Albums instead). I had a main folder (e.g. "Photos for iPhone") and subfolders (only 1 level below the main folder) with various topics. Then use iTunes to sync the photos back to the phone (selecting the main folder). iTunes: Syncing photos
The end result is that they are organized in Albums on the phone, are not in the Camera Roll, and I have a copy of them on my computer.

Iphone 4 5.0.1 Music deleted and App crash

I was listening to music today and all of a sudden my phone shuts off and I turn it back on with all the music gone except one folder of a band I listen too but there is no music in it, and everytime I search for music in the music app it crashes and sends me back to the home screen, I'm jailbroken on 5.0.1 and I have never had this problem, its been jailbroken for 3 months now and everythings fine and I did not update or download anything in the past week that could have caused this... I've tried syncing music again but the music app is the same and still crashes with no musicc. Itunes says I have 8gb worth of music on my phone but I really don't have anything.. Everything else works perfectly fine, apps, videos, photos..etc..
What could be the problem? My only choice is to resort to restoring to factorie settings but I really don't want to lose all my apps and tweaks that I have costimized to my liking on my Iphone 4...

Nevermind. I figured it is because of the new 'push' service for the Sparrow mail client released today on Cydia, called Sparrow Push (OH yeah, my phone is jailbroken...:)). I did uninstall other relavant tweaks and utilities I recenty installed from Cydia but never though this Push service had any relavance.

IPhone iOS 7 Music Playlist and Album Cover Problems

I have had problems with my iPhone 4 ever since the iOS 7 update, especially with music. I have tried making playlists for my music from my mac and syncing it with my phone and the playlists never sync correctly. I then tried it the other way and created the playlists on my phone and tried syncing it but it still doen't sync correctly. Another problem that may or may not be connected to this issue is that the pictures of the albums in my music, videos, and movies are all switched around between eachother and none of them are correct.

Very many thanks for a super fast and effective solution.
Music has gone but I am still left (in Music) with an unselected music video. How do I rid myself of that?
Your support is much appreciated.
Thank you

How do i get music vids and movies onto ipod?

I've downloaded some music videos and movie clips etc onto my itunes library, but i cant get it off the library onto the ipod.
How do i do this?
I have a 30GB video Ipod.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem... i have one downloaded tv show that transfers but three others that don't transfer from itunes to ipod. i can view them in itunes but they just don't transfer.
Furthermore, there are several *.mov files that I imported into itunes so that i could transfer them onto my ipod. Same problem... I can view them in itunes, but they don't transfer.
There is PLENTY of space on my ipod so I know that's not the problem.

IOS music library and iTunes syncing problems

Hello,
Just wondering if the issues that have been bothering me for some time and with multiple recent iOS and iTunes versions are going to get fixed in the future?
Adding or removing music manually or automatically between iTunes and the iOS has resulted in the corruption of the music library on the iOS device several times and the solution to fix the problem is always to empty the device and to start over. For example today I noticed that the album art had disappeared from my music (a known issue) and I searched the forums for a solution. Well the solution is to empty all of the music from the device and upload it back again and the album art will be back. Great! Except the music got deleted and still the space in use is showing "other usage" for the exact size of my deleted music library. If I try to add some music it adds to the space of the mysterious occupied space and the device is soon full. Time to start from scratch again. The syncing is broken and the software is buggy and I'd like it to work flawlessly instead of starting from scratch every time I'm making any minor changes to my music library. I think the reliability of the software and the basic functions is more important than the ability for the phone to ring in the computer whenever I get a call. Which is pretty amazing in someone else's opinion I'm sure.
Oh yes and the iPad is not uploading updated apps to the iTunes automatically which it did some software versions ago (a known issue). This is annoying.

Schpoiler,
I had the very same problem with you. I think the main reason for this happening is purchasing and downloading content with your phone. I don't know how it happens though, this seems the problem with me.
What I did is, I basically erased all content and settings from my iPhone and used my backup in my mac to install everything back again. After that, the "other usage" got really small in size and as I deleted all the songs by using syncing, I saw that music occupied no space in my phone. Then, I synchronized my music back again and now everything works just fine.
