Music app always opens on iPhone 4/4s

My husband only uses his iPhone 4 (or 4s--not sure which he has) for the phone and the email. Yet every time that he opens his phone, it opens with the music app, or sometimes the map app or the calendar app--three things he doesn't use his phone for. So every time he has to close out of that to open his email or phone. I definitely see how that would be annoying. I've gone through the settings and didn't see anything that would address this. How can I help him? Thank you!

Yea I don't know. I mean I don't really think the iPod is declining (that was bad phrasing on my part) although that is what some have speculated. Everything just seems to be moving more toward iOS with the newer iPods, that eventually they may disappear. But anyway, this is too off topic. Let's just try and help the OP.

Hi Kat713,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Music app on your iPhone quits unexpectedly when you launch it, first restart the phone. If the behavior persists, reset the phone next:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If the issue persists after resetting the phone, I recommend backing up and restoring your iPhone:

How do I keep music app always on top in ipad

You can double-click the home button to open the taskbar, slide that to the right, and you should see some music controls - you just can't have it open on screen on top of other apps.

Ios7 no call decline option when its locked battert drains fast music is not able to controlled through headset unless the music app is open please fix these bugs

if they are unable to update all languages in a normal time gap (it is now 6 months ago they released firmware 4.22 for the first product code (actually mine and maybe a few others)), they should not offer those many versions. the huge bug with out of memory in nokia navigator with firmware 3.58 is not fixed yet for those people. really absolutely not acceptable.
besides that, currently my phone is in a nokia service center, microphone doesnt work anymore (the one who i call just hears a very loud noise). my brother got the same phone, his one is in nokia service center since 2 weeks now, because it doesnt charge anymore as there seems to be a connection broken inside the phone).
well that will be fun if the phone returns (approximately 4 weeks), as I guess the phones will have new IMEIs as they will send 2 new phones and not fix the problem (would cost them more). but as i got a western europe with nordics-map licence locked to the imei, the next problem will be there after I get a nokia 6110navi with another IMEI back. i get really upset with this really slow support.

HT204266 Can I swap use of music Apps between my iPad & iPhone? Do I have to buy separate applications for my iPad & iPhone

- Can I swap the use of music Apps between my iPad & iPhone?
- Do I have to buy separate applications for my iPad & iPhone?

Not sure what you mean. The iPad and iPhone both come with a built-in Music app and you can sync and have your content on both of them.
If you've bought a third-party music app then you can also have that on both devices.

Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open. When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes. What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues. The crashing started happening around last Friday. Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
- I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button.
- I turned my phone off and turned it on again.
- I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone.
- I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
- I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day.
I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions.
- I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone. The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything. The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates. I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them.
- I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work. The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app. It still crashes almost immediately after launching it.
I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone). I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue?
I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that. What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working.
Is anyone else running into this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

The music player does not remember where the last session ended. I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone. I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x. Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken. It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended. God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.

Music app always on?

when iphone 4s is opened music app is on will not shut off.

What do you mean by "the music app will not shut off"?
If you double click the home button and then press and hold on the Music App at the bottom of the screen, a little minus icon appears. Click that and it will close the Music App.

Ipad music app always starts with genius mixes

I am usind an iPad mini 16GB with iOS8 running the newest version. Every time I start the music app it fires up with the genius mix overview and not my last selection, e.g. artists listing. I subscribed to iTunes match with genius enabled.
I clearly recall iOS7 not acting like this. So my question is: Is this a bug or a feature or am I missing something.
THanks in advance, Sascha

Hi Caph1,
If you are having issues with your iPad's Music application always launching to the genius mix screen, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

when i open music app i cannot chang album playing. In otherwords, there is no way to show (playlist artist songs albums) it seems to be stuck on the one album. thanks for any help in advance!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

Have a good one.

Itunes Match makes Music App stop working on iPhone 4

I've had iTunes Match for about a month and my iPhone 4 music app has been sluggish throughout. Today when I tried to play any music on the phone it refused, I can't play anything. I pick an album, press play and nothing happens - it just stays stuck on zero minutes of the song. So I've had to turn iTunes Match off. It's very disappointing.
I should add that I have a friend who has an iPhone 4S and he has no sluggishness problems, perhaps the iPhone 4 can't handle Match?

I've just discovered my Mac has accumulated 56 crash reports for the Music App this year! I have an iPhone 4 and the iTunes Match service makes the whole phone sluggish.
Did you ever find a solution?

HT1688 What should I do if my music app on my 3gs iphone isn't working?

My iphone 3gs isn't playing the music on my music app. It suddenly stopped after I restarted it on my computered and used icloud. Now the music won't play that's just on my phone. Pandora and other stuff plays fine but the music I bought myself won't play. Even on my idock clock it won't play. Please help, it's getting really annoying and frustrating living like this. I love technology but now I'm starting to hate it.

Hello jblundy,
It might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should restarting fail to resolve the issue.
