Music app continues to have issues

I posted about this issue months ago, but unfortunately the music app continues to have the same problem.
On my phone, I continue to experience an issue where my saved playlists(ones I created on the phone) become disorganized. By disorganized, I mean that the songs lose their order in the playlist. Furthermore, the song entries are duplicated (e.g., if the
song "Mi Secreto" was added to a playlist, it would after some time have multiple instances of the song "Mi Secreto" appear in the playlist. I have had 20-song playlist evolve into 100 plus song playlists without ever adding songs.
What I see are the songs repeated over and over again. Not by any action on my part.
Additionally, the shuffle option does not work correctly. When shuffle is selected, a song added most recently should play next. This does not occur. And even after toggling on shuffle several times, there are instances when the order of the "shuffled"
songs remains exactly the same.
I am running 8.1 with all the latest developer updates. My music library is on my MicroSD card. Music synced was synced using Windows Media Player.
Please fix this!

The latest iOS is 8.1.3, not 8.1.2. Try updating it. And no, so far I haven't had any of the issues that your phone seems to be having. Good luck!!

2011 Macbook pro continues to have issues what should I do?

In 2011 I purchased an early 2011 2.2 i7 Macbook Pro new. Not long after I bought it I began to have graphics issues with the computer. The computer was sent into Apple and a logicboard replacement was done. I continued to have intermediate issues with the computer after I received it back. These issues became worse over time, eventually to the point of the computer not booting up. In addition to serious graphics issues and random shutdowns. This eventually led me to take my macbook on April 12th 2013 back Apple.
A repair was done in which the logicboard was replaced again. I received my Mac back on April 19th. Today April 22 my Mac shutdown again. Also some of the graphics issues from much earlier have come back. Some scrambled graphics and some tearing in apps appear on the screen. The computer shut down on me twice on two seperate occassions today. For no reason it just shut off. It use to do this before the logicboard replacement. I went ahead and submitted an error report to Apple after reboot.
I am a design professional and am associated with Appsterdam. The repair on my mac took a week and I feel far behind in my work. However just at the time that I am trying to catch up on my work. This Macbook pro has begun to go out on me again. I am so upset that I bought a unit from a bad batch or something. They have already replaced the logicboard twice as a result of these shutdowns and graphics issues.
I don't know what to do. Any information about what my next step should be would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I shall contact the Apple store again soon. My Macbook has had it's logicboard replaced two times now as a result of graphics issues. I have had the computer back now for about two weeks but it's performance continues to deteriorate. After the 2nd logicboard replacement. Some of my apps look like this... =(

Music app does not have the function to change the audio source.

I use to change my audio source in my music app with the icon that looks like a triangle going into a rectangle i think it is call airplay, but it not there any more and what it is weir is that others app does have it so if i change my audio source in a video online it will change it in my music too..... Well i hope i could explain my self clear enough. Just put the airplay icon back in the music app. Thanks for your attention.
Best regards

iTunes Radio is currently only available in the US - if you are in the US then try logging out and back into your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store, and if that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My Music App does not have the Radio icon after the update

MMy iPad was upgraded last week. Music app is now supposed to have a radio icon. No sign of a radio icon on my Music App. HELP

Hi,
iTunes Radio only works in the US for now. Apple has not released dates for other countries yet.
Hope that helps.

I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS. iTunes Match is on. Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed. Just happened when updating iTunes Match. Solutons?

I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory. I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone. Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed. This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6. It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes. Ideas?

Hi Moonage Daydreamer01,

IOS5 Music App crashing when going to podcasts

My music app keeps crashing whenever I select the "podcast" tab in the music app.
Here have been the steps I've taken so far:
1. Connect to iTunes, remove podcasts from phone
2. Upon doing this, the music app crashes instantly upon opening
3. If I select "reset all settings" on the phone, the music app will start back up - but continue to crash when navigating to podcast tab
Notes
+ If I select my computer library (home sharing) within the music app, the podcasts show up and play fine (pulling from my computer)
+ The "Muisc +" app accesses all my music and plays fine (but I can't get to podcasts from within that app)
+ I can use voice commands to play a music - and skip forward/back from the lock screen
Hardware:
iPhone 4, ATT, 32GB
iOS 5.0.1
Any help/suggestions?

I'm still having this issue - wanted to add some additional details:
+if i search on my iPhone (swipe all the way to the left home screen), several podcasts show up; even after syncing and telling iTunes to sync 1 most recent podcast or none at all
+I can play these podcasts from the "search" menu, but when I hit back, it brings me to the default music app tab, and if i tab to the podcast tab (even with the podcast playing), the app will crash
+in iTunes, when I set my podcasts to only keep the most recent one, then sync my phone - it will pull these random podcasts back into iTunes
+The date on these podcasts is 12/31/00 (even though they are from 2011)
It seems like the "12/31/00" labeled podcasts are impossible to delete and causing my music app to crash.

I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

Missing Artist Photo in Music App

Some of the artists with photo in iTunes Store does not show the photo in the Music App on my iPhone.
For example, if you search Mai Kuraki on iTunes Store, it shows a photo of the artist. From what I know, this means that the music app will show this photo in the artist tab. However, there are quite a few of artists who have a photo but there're not showing on the music app.
I have tried to open iTunes Store on my phone and sign out then sign in again. There's still no refresh on the music app.
I'm using iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.3

I Have the same issue. At all other views, album, song, lists, including landscape view, the artwork are visible. The only problematc view is Artist View; most of artist show the generic silver box! Any solutions????

IPad Music App in IOS 7 is such a crap, When you gonna update it ?

Guys Guys Guys, What happened to you ?
Since the ios7 1st update am Waiting for Music app to be updated. I liked iphone music app, and i thought i could get in my ipad also but sad !
since that day am waiting for music app update. In real words you guys f****d up the MUsic app. you should have make it better than iOS 6 but its such a crap i cant even think of opening it.
There are no any major Pros if you guys compare it with iOS 6 Music app and Cons are First of all App is not Good in Looks Second, there were no need to show album art in Songs List & Third, it could not show Now Playing screen when you tap on album art such as in Itunes desktop app.
Guys if you Cannot update the app then Please give us iOS 6 Music app back.

Agreed!!
The new Music app in iOS7 is horrible. Reduced functionality and the functionality that is there doesn't make intuitive sense.
My main issues/corrections:
1) Give the user an option to display, or not display, the large album art beside the Artist listing. The large album art beside each Artist takes up too much room and conveys no useful information.
2) Within each Artist allow the user to select a listing of the albums (as in iOS6). Scrolling through albums does not make sense. Allow the user to select from a list!
3) Within each Artist allow the user to sort the albums alphabetically. Sort the albums by title NOT date! Why sorting albums by date?
4) Within each Artist replace the selection to play all songs (as in iOS6). In iOS7 only option is to shuffle play the songs.
As it stands now in iOS7 the Music app has reduced functionality and is a horrible experience for the user.

Setting tabs in order for music app-playlists songs artists tabs

How do you set the icons for organize tabs in the music app?

I have also noticed bugs with the music app after updating to iOS 8.2, though not exactly the one you mentioned.
Soon after updating my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.2, I connected it to my computer via USB cable because I wanted to transfer new music from my iTunes library to my iPhone. My iPhone, before I connected it to my computer, had about 5000 songs on it. However, after my iPhone 6 synced with iTunes, all of a sudden the amount of songs on my iPhone went down to about 2500 songs. When I looked through the Music App, I realized that only the music I had purchased from iTunes remained on my iPhone, while music ripped from my CD collection had somehow been deleted. I ended up having to transfer my whole iTunes music library to my iPhone again! This issue has to have something to do with updating to iOS 8.2, because it has never happened to me before, and iTunes hasn't been updated lately but is up to date and has worked fine.
After transfering all my music back on my iPhone again, I started noticing a major bug within the iPhone Music App. The incorrect Artist Info is displayed for many songs I purchased from iTunes. For example, I have the album "My Everything (Deluxe)" by Ariana Grande on my iPhone. Only one song from the album, "Love Me Harder", is by the artists "Ariana Grande & The Weeknd" and supposed to display as such in the artist info section in the music app. However, 13 of the 15 tracks from the album all incorrectly display "Ariana Grande & The Weeknd" in the artist info for each track in the Music App (the exception being the track "Bang Bang" which actually does display the correct artist info for that song). All these songs display the correct info on iTunes, and I even tried removing the album, and then retransfering it back to my iPhone, to no avail. This bug occurs on many tracks and albums I've purchased from iTunes, but only in the iPhone Music App, and only started after updating to iOS 8.2. Tracks ripped from my CD collection seem to be unaffected.

App store and Music app on IOS 6 is not working. Music has my music, but the title of the songs are grey and when I touch them, nothing happens! The app store. when im on search, it exits the app. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

Okay. I am totally in a bad situtation. I have IOS 6 and 2 things have gone wrong. The Music app where you have your music, is bad. I have songs and stuff. And when i touch a song nothing happens. The letters are grey and nothing happens. The app store is also a problem. The appstore on IOS 6, when im on search and i search for and app, it exits the app store in like 5 seconds. And when i first updated the IOS 6, it was still like that HELP!

Did you do a restore from iTune or iCloud backup recently?

Not All iTunes Music Showing up in iOS7 Music App

Good Morning!
I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me resolve a frustrating problem. I am a PC person (and was an Andriod person) who now uses a PC for my iTunes library but has two Apple TVs, a iPad mini and an iPhone 5S... I'm converting!
My problem is with iTunes and the "Music" app in iOS7. I used to use Google Music when I had a Droid and all of my music did (and still does) automatically copy to Google when I add something to iTunes. I don't have to do a thing, all set up.
However, after buying my iPad mini and iPhone 5S I discovred the Music app does NOT have all of my iTunes library in it. I use iCloud, I use iTunes Match (maybe my problem). However, no matter what I do only about 1/3 of my iTunes music libary is available in the music app. I have thousands of songs. Perhaps a quarter were purchased on iTunes and the rest are CDs I ripped over time or purchased of MP3 files form Amazon, etc.
Of my perhaps 4,000 songs, I'm lucky if the Music app has 1,000. If I have 4 albums by an artist, I may see two in the Music app, the other two remain only in iTunes. It doesn't seem to matter where I got the track from. Sure, I bet al the ones purchased from iTunes store are there (I don't keep a list of what was bought where) but there are also Amazon purchases, ripped files, Google Music purchases scattered in there too... it only is 1/4 of my library and frustrating. I also have an album listed but only 1 or 2 songs are available in the Music app when the entire album is in iTunes.
I am smacking my head against the wall unsure of why in Earth iTunes is not loading my entire library so I can use it on all my iOS devices. The devices are setup in iTunes.
I am, however, able to download a third party Google Music app on my iPad and iPhone and THERE I can see and listen to my entire library but just selections. That works great.
I WANT to use the iOS7 app to listen to all my iTunes music. I don't want to have to use a Google go around but I can't seem to solve the problem. I launch iTunes, it says it is running match and unless I bought a new track from iTunes, the rest of my library in the same place as the tracks it did sync remains ignored.
I know my library is large. Do I need to purchase addition space somewhere? If so, I am never prompted. Why it would sync one two tracks from am album that all came from the same source also baffles me.
Sorry this is long, I wanted to give as many details as I want. I want all my music available under "Music"and to be able to ditch Google music but searching online gives few clues as to why only part of my library uploads to the Cloud.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Heiko,
I had the same problem and noticed that the missing albums had been PhotoCast. Apparently these albums are not available for transfer to your iPod. When I Stopped Publishing the album, the problem was solved.
I hope this helps, Jim
Not sure when exactly this happened but I guess with
the installation of iTunes 6.04.
Some of the albums I've created in in iPhoto do not
show up in the iTunes iPod options.
I first noticed when trying to view photos on my iPod
that images that had been there before were no longer
available.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any idea on how to
fix this?
I've already tried to restore my iPod and delete the
iPod Cahe folder but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Heiko.

How do I put a search bar on my music app

Bug in ios 7 music app

Hello community,
I have a problem with the ios 7 iphone 5 music app.
I have a lot of albums with various artists. The various artists are in the wrong genre... For example genre->classical->various artists->Dr.Dre albums...
All various albums are in every genre...
The music app in ios 6 was perfect, i want all functions in ios 7 !!!
Please fix it !

I am really hoping this is not intentional and is fixed a.s.a.p.
Speaking of, does anyone know why the artist photo is sometimes reperesented by one of the album covers (if there is more than one album) and other times a picture of the actual band is used? I am noticing that after 7.1, a lot of the pictures that were album covers before are now pictures of the members of the band (generic photos not picked by me), which is equally as obnoxious as the albums being reverse chronological order. *** is going on here?
