Music app crashes constantly after iOS5 update and won't restart.

I have an iPhone 4 that I updated to iOS5 last week. The first time I tried the new Music App, it ran very sluggishly. I then connected it to my JVC car stereo via the dock connector (Made for iPod), and the Music App crashed. After crashing, it just shows a blank white screen when you try to start the app, then crashes again after about ten seconds.
I can delete all the music from the iPhone via iTunes, and then re-add it, which seems to work for getting the Music App working again. But as soon as I try to connect it to the dock connector on my car stereo, it crashes again as previously described. Grrr.

No answers, only wanted to commiserate—I had a similar problem, and now my iPhone 5 running iOS 5 is showing the blank white screen for the Music app every time. No music showing anywhere, even when NOT connected to the dock in my car. I was wondering if the bug was related to the number of songs/size of files (since I have a crapload of music). This has to be happening to others...

  • Apps crash constantly after update

    I have an iPhone 4 and have a problem with a few apps which run fine until the app is updated then they constantly crash on startup. I have looked through the crash logs and the constant theme is exc_bad_access. This is very frustrating!!!
    Why does it happen after an update and with apps that I use a lot??
    Any advice will be appreciated!
    I also have an iPod touch 3 and iPad 3 both running the latest iOS and do not have this problem so it is obviously the phone.

    I have the exact same problem, and with the same 2 apps Simpsons Tapped Out and Candy Crush.  Both happeded after updates to the apps.  I tried everything to fix it, reinstall app, hard resets, etc. and nothing worked. I even contacted Simpson's App suport and they said to contact Apple support about it that they did not see a problem on their end.  Very annoying since it seem to happen only on the apps I used the most.  Hasn't happened to any apps that are rarely used.

    Disconnected from what? the computer? Did you connect to the computer again, launch iTunes and then do as I described above?
    You have selected all of the apps to sync - put checkmarks in all of the boxes next to the app names and have the Sync Apps heading checked as well?
    Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>On?
    Are you signed into the correct iTunes account on the iPad and the computer?

  • Ipod touch 4g- no music, and apps not working after iOS5 update

    Hi, I just updated to IOS 5 on my Ipod touch 4G, and ever since then the music library (in the Ipod) is cleared out, and none of the apps work. It's like it didn't finish updating and transferring back the data to the Ipod. When I go to plug in the Ipod to my macbook, and bring up Itunes, the Itunes program freezes every single time, not allowing me to fix the problem. My Ipod will show up in the side bar of Itunes, with the circular arrows going for a little bit, then the arrows stop in the middle of the process... I go to click on anything in Itunes and immediately get the spinny flywheel on my screen, meaning itunes freezes, and I have to force quit the program everytime. I've tried rebooting my computer a few times, as well as restarting my Ipod, but nothing is working. The internet works on my Ipod, but anything music/app related is 'empty.'  I couldn't find anyone else on the net w the same problem, so I might have something unique~

    I would try restoring the iPod from backup.  If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Macbook crashed after software update and won't reboot!

    I have installed the latest updates on my 2.16Ghz, 10.5 Leopard, 1Gb MacBook through the software updater. There were 10 new udates inluding iTunes, Macbook security update and some for logic Pro.
    The machine crashed with the 'hold the power button' type message which i did! after switching the machine back on, it boots into the Mac OSX setup assistant, so i assume i have lost my data? However, even if i enter all my details and complete the assistant, after clicking 'done', the assistant runs again!!!
    I have applecare but they're now closed so i thought i'd see if anyone can help me out as i need it up and running asap.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Ipod4 syncs music incorrectly with itunes after ios5 update. Playlists list some songs which are greyed out and wont play. Suspect they werent downloaded as Ipod now holds 16 000 songs. Previous max was 9000 songs.

    I upgraded to IOS5. Now have synching problems using the USB Cable . I tried everything. Resent the Synch history in ITunes. Unticked all playlists and synched to clear all music etc of the iPod. Reticked items to synch then still have trouble. After it synchs, I see a playlist with some songs in black and some in grey. The black songs play, the grey ones don't. The same songs in iTunes do appear there and will play. I don't have any broken links in my library. Anyone know of a solution.? Synching takes forever and seems to get stuck on importing the pictures for ages. I walk away and next morning it will be finished syncing but with aforementioned problems.

    You should send this to Apple.

  • Mail app crashes constantly after iOS 7

    Updated 6.1.3 to 7.0 and native Mail now crashes to home screen anywhere from 0 - 5 seconds after loading, sometimes while the screen is still white (loading) and sometimes a few seconds after I can see and temporarily navigate my mailboxes. Was working fine before - Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve? Apple, are you aware of this / fixing?
    No, I will not restore a backup or reset to factory settings - these solutions are unnacceptable for many reasons.

    Try quitting Mail like I describe below then reset your phone.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
    Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Can't get apps to work after ios5 update

    After doing the update for ios5, i noticed i can't open apps i have installed on my ipad2.  the apps are still there but when i click on facebook app for example the fb icon shows it being clicked on but nothing comes up.  this is the same for all other apps i have installed before the update.  safari works just fine but not the apps.  any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it?

    Users have reported this problem after previous major updates (IOS4).
    Q: Did the update complete successfully? You would have been asked to set Location, iCloud, etc.
    is it ALL apps, or just 3rd party apps? Safari is working.
    Try a resync with iTunes.
    Try reinstalling one 3rd party app. In the past, just reinstalling one seemed to fire up the others for users who had this problem.

  • Can't put music on my Iphone after iTunes update and reinstalling my Windows 7 Ultimate

    If anyone can help with a suggestion what to do:
    - i reinstalled my PC to Windows 7 Ultimate and installed latest iTunes version.
    now I cannot drag and drop any music to my Iphone 4s in iTunes or make playlists to do the same.
    Does anyone have the same problem?

    " it says that I can only be synced with one computer."
    "It" is exactly correct. 
    " It says that I have to erase everything and sync with iTunes."
    Again, "it" is correct.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
    The itunes content and picture sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    If you sync contacts to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.

  • After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open and music content is gone and won't sync onto iPod

    After iOS5 update apps blink and don't open after trying to select them, and the music content was completely gone! Help!

    See the following:
    I updated my ipad 2 to ios5 and now apps won't open they just blink.  What should i do?
    Just updated iphone4 to ios5, now apps won't open, they blink once but won't run
    When you look at the storage usage of the iPod in iTunes (the colored bargraph) , how much is in the "other" category? If very large yu will have to restore you riPod to get it down to is normal less than about 1/2 GB.

  • Apps crashing constantly on Ipad 1 after update

    I updated my Ipad 1 recently and now most of the apps crash constantly.  I have read the threads about deactivating icloud.I dont even know what it is, i've never used it or activated it. I went into my settings---I cloud, and there is no options for this app. I need a walk through or something...

    I am not running a lot of apps, restarting it does nothing, restoring to factory settings does nothing. If there is not a simple cost free fix, I will be trading my Ipad in for a new windows tablet.

  • IOS 8.3 Music app Crashes after skipping songs

    I am having issues after updating to iOS 8.3 on a 128gb iPhone 6.  The Music app launches and will work, but will crash if I skip about 2 songs.  It seems I can get it to relaunch if I force quit the app then reboot the phone.  However it works for a few songs then crashes all over again.
    Anyone else having issues with the Music app?

    The music app crashes when using playlists all the time.
    I have the same problem with my iPhone 6 64 Gb and the IOS 8.3.
    It just happens when using the "Intelligent playlists".
    First case:
    Enter a playlist.
    Click on a song.
    The song is playing.
    Click once >> and the next song starts playing.
    Click again on >> and the app crashes.
    Second case:
    Enter a playlist.
    The choosen song is playing.
    Click on the top left < to back and the app crashes again.
    Third case:
    If you let the playlist playing without forwarding or backwarding or click on < (top left) the playlist seems to run ok.
    Solutions I tried with no success:
    I made a full restore of the iPhone 6 and no solution.
    I deleted all the playlists and I created them again and no solution.
    It seems to me that it happens more often when using .m4a files but I'm not sure about it.

  • After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music.

    After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music (iphone  speakers or headphones).  I get sound from games, previewing songs in iTunes, etc.  Any idea why?  I've resynced and shut down my phone and that didnt help.

    Beer,
    is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
    because i am facing the below issue in my car.
    the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
    upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.
