IPod function won't work on iPhone 4

My iPod application won't work on the iPhone 4. I can play YouTube videos, listen to previews on iTunes, but for some reason whenever I hit the play button on a song in iTunes it doesn't start on any of my songs. I've tried the lyrics app to play music, I've tried powering off and restoring it by holding home and power down and still nothing, help!

Read in another thread a solution that worked for me. Basically, you need to delete the music from the phone and re-copy from iTunes with 2 syncs. In the music tab, uncheck the boxes in the playlist, artist and genre option, removing all music from the phone, then sync. Then, re-check the desired music to copy back to the phone and sync. Music should play now from the phone.
I echo the sentiment of another poster that iOS4 really is a disaster. Problem like this should have been solved before release.

  • 3G phone's iPod function won't work on a Mini Cooper

    Imagine my disappointment when the thing wouldn't play on my Cooper's system! What is weird is that my entire song list uploaded into the car. The iPhone is charging OK when plugged in. However, when a song is selected, the iPhone tells me that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."
    So, is this a car matter or will a software update solve this?
    I really hope Cupertino reads this stuff!

    What is the year of your Mini? Mini changed their iPod interface recently (2007, I think), so I'm wondering if this is an issue with the new or old interface version.

  • Reply with message function won't work on iPhone 4S

    I have upgraded to ios6 on my 4S and I cannot get the reply with message function to work. I can see it in the settings and can change the default messages but when I get a call the only option that I get is answer or deny (no phone icon to the right of deny to swipe up to use the reply with mussage option). I have done multiple resets even back to as it came out of the box and it still doesn't show up. My wife is also expereincing the same issues on here iPhone 4 and I have contacted my service provider and they indicated that it should work on both phones.

    Sometimes, in a givin market, FaceTime is not available.

  • Shuffle Function won't work

    I plugged my iPod mini into another computer, this loaded all the songs on their iTunes on to my iPod. After reloading all my songs my shuffle function won't work and all songs play in order. I have reset my iPod but this has not worked. Any ideas?

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

    Hi there,
    I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
    I've done the following, but it still won't work:
    1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
    2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
    3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
    4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
    The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
    Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
    Best Regards,
    A new Walcom user in desperate

    I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try.  Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
    Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
    Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
    http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

    My iPod camera won't work. The shutter doesn't open at all. I backed up and restored my iPod but it didn't make it work. Now I'm so mad and confused. Please help.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    The Power button on my ipod touch won't work at all, any suggestions?

    Okay it says here https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do that your warranty has expired, my recomendation is to either clean it out with a needle, or just keep pushing it hoping it will un-stick.

  • IPod charger won't work

    It was fine when I went to bed and this morning it wouldent work it still looks the same but it won't work at all..

    Not Charge
    - See:     
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Infiniti and Acura Auto iPod Interface - Does It Work With iPhone

    The Infiniti, Audi and Acura Autos have an optional interface for the iPod that show the playlists etc. on the auto display. Has anyone used their iPhone's iPod mode with these interfaces succeasfully?
    Howard Kaplan

    I have discovered since my post the iPhone iPod mode DOES work with the Audi just fine. See this link:
    http://www.audiusa.com/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/aoa/company/owners.Par.0023.Fi le.pdf
    The only catch is the iPhone comes up with a message about NOT being compatible with the the accessory. If you wait till the message clears or hit the 'No' button it will then go on and connect and work, according to the Audi article.
    This of course assumes Apple has not done something new in the new release of the firmware to prevent working with accessories that are intended for iPod. This might be the case as Apple is very strict about giving details of the iPod interface and may lock out those devices not going through the Apple approval process. This would be a mistake in my opinion if the company has already spent time and effort to do an iPod interface as the iPhone is also sold as having having iPod functionality (but the slave drive piece).

    Seems like you have a bad connection or you broke a conductor in a ribbon cable. Or maybe a bad digitizer. ir logic board.
