Music app crashes

I have an iPhone 5 with ios6.1. I am not sure when this started, since I very rarely even go into the music app, but I BELIEVE it began when I first turned homeshare on. The music app was already very slow to load, but since then it basically won't open.
It loads to a blank off-white screen with a header bar and five buttons on the bottom, but all of it is blank. After 5 or 10 seconds, it crashes out. Homeshare has been turned off for a while - I only had it turned on as a test for about 20 minutes. Playing music through siri works fine (other than the other bug that has been reported where music on shuffle always restarts from the same song and goes through the same playlist, not from where it last paused) but if I quickfind a song in the search bar and goto it, it loads and crashes music, and if I manually open the music app, it crashes (and music stops playing). I did a hard reset last week and it loaded music the first time, but I've since tried hard resetting a few more times and it still crashes, so that must have been a fluke. I just tried turning homeshare on again and it still fails.
I am at a loss.

Software troubleshooting in order...
Restart: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slider appears. Power off then power back on.
If no change...
Reset: Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. Note: No data will be lost
If no change...
Restore: First from backup... If no change as New > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

IPad Music app crashes while trying to choose my shared Mac music library

IPad Music app crashes while trying to choose my shared Mac music library. Only a few of the artists show up and if I try a search, the App crashes.

Thanks. This got all of the artists to show up but the music app still crashes when I search the shared music library.

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...

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.

Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
Step by step on the iPad:
- delete all music on your device:
Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
- set itunes match off
- run music app
- give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
- go to settings app again
- music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
- open music app
- wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
- go to settings app again
- music settings - show all your music on
- go to music app
- wait till it download list of all your music
Done
Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

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.

Music app crashes with IOS 8.3 after playing two songs

I just submitted this bug report to Apple:
I have a auto update smart playlist based on zero rated tracks with an album rating of 3 stars or higher. I play this playlist on random and rate the tracks as I listen to them. Since updating to iOS 8.3 the music app will play two tracks (which I have rated during the play) and upon the completion of the second track will crash or close out and return me to the iOS home screen. This is repeatable. I have music matched switched off and the playlist is freshly updated from WiFi update from my Mac.
Has anyone else experience something similar where the music app will close repeatedly after only playing a couple of songs?

Hi
I'm also having all the same problems mentioned earlier, ever since my update to 8.3.
Having tried deleting "5 star" playlist, recreating and then re-syncing, does nothing!!
As per ToolMan7x6, I can play from "songs" , "albums" or " artists" via shuffle or regular play with no problems, on my iPhone 5S, but as I can't listen to the circa 3500 songs I have on my phone all day in shuffle mode, this is driving me nuts!!
Any suggestions would much be appreciated

IOS 8.2 music app crash

After updating to iOS 8.2 I noticed that my Music app has updated the auto-generated Genius mixes that I have available. There are now a lot more than the 9 or so that used to show up which is great but the problem is that the "new functionality" actually crashes the app every time you try to go past a certain number of playlists.
Keep in mind that the playlists are real and they are very much populated from my cloud library.
Anyway, what seemed to have fixed this (for now) is disabling iTunes Match and Genius in the settings of the app and then turning them back on. The iTunes Match setting forces the app cash to be dumped and then forces a sync with the Apple servers. Voila, I no longer have infinite number of mixes and the app does not crash. The Genius mixes are however slightly different now but I don't really care about that. They are auto generated ones anyway.
I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix or I just got lucky but has anyone else seen a similar problem and how did you fix it?

Music App crashes often

I have an iPod touch 3G and about 1800+ Songs on it. My iPod app often crashed after syncing, so I turned off audiobooks and podcasts . Now I have a big problem: I haven't synced since about 1 month and iTunes just let me restore my iPod. So all of the songs I purchased are only on my iPod and I´m not able to sync anymore with iTunes. I think this happened after the recent crash of my music app, because i now only have accses to the songs I bought since the last sync. The other songs are still on my iPod, but I cannot listen to them. Usually I dont need to sync, but now I want to have my songs back in my iPod library (and I bought the new Paul Kalkbrenner album and I want it on my iPod). How can I bring my songs to my pc? (iPod is jailbroken)

Because jailbreaking violate Apple's terms and conditions (and warranty).

Music app crashes after ios6 installed

The pre-installed Music "app" on my phone crashes consistently ever since I installed the ios6 update.
Half of the time, it opens to a frozen screen listing the artists in my collection; the other half, it opens to the screenshot listed below. Both result in a crash and closing of the app on its own within 20 seconds.
Is this just me or is this everyone?

I have the same issue it is very annoying. I can't listen to music on my iphone...
I've tried to fix it, and restored the phone. Music app still crashes. So this is something should be solved by apple!

Music app crashes connecting to shared library

I have an iPad 2 that is trying to connect to a shared library on my iMac. Whenever I try to connect, I get the wait spinning icon and eventually the music app on the iPad just crashes (exits).
I have a couple AppleTVs in the house and they connect just fine.
All software on both the iPad 2 and the iMac are up to date (IOS 6.1 and OSX 10.8.2).
I have rebooted both and have reset the network on the iPad 2 without any resolve.
Ideas?

Unfortunately, I gave up and didn't find a solution. However, it is, as of today, working properly.
Sorry, wish I had a good solution for you.

Music app crashing

Since updating my iPad Mini to iOS 7, the music app has exhibited the annoying issue of crashing every time I try to play two specific songs. They play for a second become cutting off and dumping me at the home screen.
The songs triggering the issues are Accept's Metal Heart and Midnight Mover, both purchased on iTunes, and with lyrics and sorting data added. I am at a loss as to the cause, but I suspect it is a bug. anyone else having this problem?

Try and close all apps in Multitask Screen.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

Music app crash when adding to playlist

Has anyone else noticed in iOS 7 when one adds a song to a playlist, the music app will completely crash? I'm on iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 5s. I've tried restoring without using a backup, but it always happens. I'm wondering if it's just me.

Same here on iOS 7.0.4, iPhone 5. Every time I want to add a song to a playlist, app crashes.

Cover flow Causing iOS5 Music App Crash

Since I've updated to iOS5 on my iPhone4 cover flow in the music app jitters and if I swipe too quickly it becomes increasingly laggy and not smooth at all then it ends up crashing the music app. Any ideas?

Same problem here. I don't use cover flow but just play one song. Goes fine with downloaded songs but with imported cd's (and their covers) it crashes. I've now downloaded the artwork for those albums and now it works fine. Apples way of saying you should download from iTunes instead of buying cd's I guess...
