Music app displaying wrong content in iOS 8.1.2

The music app on my iPhone 5 operating on iOS 8.1.2 is displaying the wrong content.  When I browse by artist it will always display the songs for the first artist I chose, even when I choose another.  For example: I go to "Artists", choose "ACDC", and those songs appear, but if I go back and choose a different artist, say "Beach Boys", it still displays the ACDC songs.  No matter which new artist I select, the same ACDC songs will appear.  It does the same thing if I go to "Genre" and browse by artist there.  I've tried plugging my phone into my computer and syncing, but it doesn't help.  This is very troublesome because sometimes I want to listen to music by artist but I cannot see the correct songs!
Please help.

Had the same problem with upgrading to 8.0.2 and then having app updates occur while syncing with iTunes - although just for the iPhone not iPad - not sure what I did differently if anything. The badge number on the phone was wrong until I got an over-the-air update notification which reset the badge number. I uploaded the app over-the-air and now there is no badge number (I would assume until the next update). Will try a sync again with iTunes to see if it was something new with iTunes - or just an odd combination of updating to 8.0.2 in conjunction with app updates.

  • IOS 8.2 music app displaying wrong artist for songs

    I've been very unhappy with iOS 8.2. After updating my iPhone 6 to 8.2, I noticed a problem in the music app. Some of my songs have the wrong artist name displayed. In some cases, all of the songs by an artist display the wrong name. For example I have songs by the artist Wings. On one of their albums, They went under another name for a couple of songs, The Country Hams, and I have the album artist listed as Wings. But, after the update, all of the songs by Wings on every album have the artist name as The Country Hams, even though that name is used on only 2 songs on one album. When I search by artist in the app, Wings is no longer listed as an artist. When I go to The Country Hams, all of the songs by Wings are listed under that name. A similar problem occurs with other artists as well, whether the songs are purchased or not. Nothing I did would fix the problem. I tried changing the tags in iTunes, re-syncing, and restoring the phone. Nothing. I synced the songs to my iPod, and the information was correct, so I know the problem is not with my iTunes Library or the tags. Eventually, I succumbed to downgrading back iOS 8.1.3, and restoring the phone. Everything's back to normal. The problem is 8.2. I hope this is fixed with the next update, otherwise I'll just have to stay with 8.1.3. This is very frustrating.

  • Music app in the iPad & iphone (iOS 6)

    i'm just wondering why, when i use the music app in the iPad (iOS 6) i can't see the lyrics, while in the iphone (iOS 6 too) i can see them????

    Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on the iPad in iOS 5 or 6, as to why not I don't know - if it's something that you want then you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Audiobooks in the "music" app display tracks in alphabetical, not actual track order

    Since updating my iPad 1 to iOS 5.0.1 my audiobooks (Teaching Company) display in the "music" app in alphabetical, not actual track order.  They display correctly in iTunes from my synced computer.  I've tried designating them as compilations and not as compilations, and either way, the same result.  Further, when I hit play on the first track listed, it does not go to the second track, rather it just stops.

  • HT1386 My music app displays "no music" after I download songs

    Wen I purchase music from iTunes they do not appear in my music app after downloading them on my iPad 4 but via iCloud they do appear and are downloaded to my other (iphone 5) devices.  I am also able to see all the songs I have on iCloud on my iPad 4 however I am not able to download them to the music app.  After download is complete I click on the music app and it displays "no music".

    Try this first. Close the music app completely and then reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't fix it, my next recommendation is to backup your iPad and restore it. I have seen a number of posts like yours in the past couple of weeks, and after much experimentation trying other fixes, the one thing that always seems to work is to restore the software.

  • Find My Friends app displaying wrong contacts

  • Music app problems with iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1)

    So lately I've been noticing the music app has been acting up. A while ago I deleted songs directly off of my iPad and then when I plugged it into a computer, the tracks came back but you cannot play them - they're faded, but you can still see all the information and stuff, I don't know if they're taking up memory or not. I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying. Another thing, sometimes it doesn't let me go to the previous song without putting up a fight. I have to repetitively press previous at least 10 times in a row, very fast in order to go back to just one song. Just a few moments ago, when I clicked on a song it would play a random one, not the one I selected. It did that to every song I selected, and then it suddenly started working correctly again. Lastly, I noticed that I've been missing a few album covers that were once there.
    I just want to know if anyone else has been having the same issues at all? Thanks.

    I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying.
    You don't have to delete music on your computer to remove music from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. If you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes and you have Sync Only Checked Songs and Video selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, you can uncheck the songs in your iTunes library or in the selected playlist in iTunes that you want removed from the iPad followed by a sync.
    Any change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If not and you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Music followed by a sync. This should remove all music from your iPad. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music making your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music back to the iPad.

  • Music Video displays wrong ARTWORK.  Displays a POSTER FRAME rather than the JPG that I have given it.

    I am using ITunes 11.05.5 on Windows 7 Professional.   Have thousands of videos ... MP4 Music Videos.   I make my own "ARTWORK" (on JPG per artist for all music videos by that artist).  I place the artwork in the file by "GET INFO", "ARTWORK", copy in my own JPG Image.    I confirm that there is only one image in the ARTWORK and that it is the correct image.   When I save and go back to the GET INFO everthing is fine.   When I view it in MS Explorer or in ID3-TAG the ARTWORK is also fine.   This process works fine for most everything but unexplainably fails and I can't fix it on certain occasions.   
    THE FAILURE:    Let me explain the problem that occurs on rare occasions (and once it occurs I can't ever fix it).   Lets say I have 5 music videos from the artist, John Jones.    I embed my own artwork (the same ARTWORK for all music videos from this same artist, John Jones) and all five videos group under the proper. same ARTWORK in the GRID VIEW.   Now, I obtain another music video from John Jones, once again I put the same ARTWORK on this file and now when I go into GRID VIEW it displays a POSTER FRAME (of that artist, John Jones) that I have never seen (although it must have come from the video since it is a POSTER FRAME of John Jones) .....  from that point on, all six music videos from John Jones also display that same ARTWORK (the wrong poster frame - but same poster frame for all John Jones music videos) even tho the first five were displaying properly before (but not longer).     It is as if a POSTER FRAME of John Jones is in cache and associated with the artist John Jones and can not be deleted.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ITunes, but it doesn't work.    I have tried deleting the new Music Video that I added and that started the problem (number six); hoping the the original five would return to nomal ...  but that does not work.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • Music app bug with iPad iOS 7.0.3

    Hi,
    My Music app was working fine until ios 7.0.3. Now, when I hit play, it goes from song to another really fast without actually playing them...
    Is that happening to anyone else?
    Thanks!
    Chris.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Home Sharing: Music App on iPhone and iPad skips from track to track without playing.

    Home Sharing is working from my iMac, OSX 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2(3) to my AppleTV, 6.1.1. I can see my iTunes library and play/view music, video and photos. No problems.
    I have problems when trying to do the same on my iPhone and iPad.
    Using the Music app on my iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1 I frequently have to re-connect to my iTunes library. However nothing will play in any mode. It just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
    Using the Music app on my iPad 2, iOS 7.1.1 connecting to my iTunes library is more reliable. Single tunes play through, albums & playlists play through all tunes in sequence. However if I select shuffle then it just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
    I have only tried sharing to my iPhone/iPad in the last few days so I have no experience of doing this on previous versions.

    Today
    Music on iPad does not even give me the Sharing option.
    Music on iPhone offers Sharing and does indeed connect to my iTunes library. It has all my albums on display. Whoopee you think, is ths a breakthrough? Unfortunately, NO. Play any album and it just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
    Please bear in mind that no infrastructure has changed during these posts. Same network, hardware and software.
    Conclusion:
    Home Sharing is useless except between iMac and AppleTV.
    Is there anyone out there in Apple land who can convince me otherwise?

  • My Music app that comes with the iphone quits itself immediately after clicking on it. How do I fix this??

    My Music app that comes with the iOS immediately quits right  after opening it. Is there a way to fix this? Can I reinstall the app? I know it cannot be deleted like another app as it comes with the phone.

    Hi aragon7,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like an app closes when trying to open it. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    Cheers,

  • My iPod touch shows no content for music and/or videos or downloaded apps after I upgraded to IOS v5.1.1

    I downloaded the latest version of ios for my iPod Touch (v5.1.1) and my music, videos, books, and purchased apps don't appear.  In the settings it shows I've only got 9.1 GB of space available out of 28.4 GB (my iPod is a 32 GB).  Also, on the iTunes summary page for my iPod the usage bar at the lower portion of the page is all yellow showing 'other' when it use to be multi-color showing what content (apps, video, music, etc) was using up the capacity individually.  When I click on the device icon (left side of the window) it indicates all of my music, apps, video, books, etc are on the iPod but they don't show up on the actual device.  Also, the sync button (lower right on the summary page) is "greyed out" and won't let me sync.  Thanks in advance.  Terry

    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
