Music app iOS5: No video?

Ok I know... The new app is called MUSIC. But does that mean videos can't be viewed within the new Music App? This is a huge takeaway, since the former IPod app played whatever content was in my iTunes library.
Yes, I can play videos from the VIDEOS app, but they're not organized into playlists like they are in iTunes library (and former iPod app!!!!)
I have video tutorials organized in my iTunes library that up until the iOS "upgrade" I was able to view, in order, from the iPod app.
Is there something I've failed to enable in settings (or something even more stoopid)?
Or, is this another bug? APPLE FIX THIS THING!!!!!

It made far more sense the way it was before. This way is quite frustratiing to use.
If content is a combination of audio and video, you can't keep it together anymore. I subscribe to several podcasts that have both audio and video content in the same feed, now they won't stay together. I also have several music albums that also have viodeos as one of the tracks, again they won't stay together anymore.
An album is an album, and the way they used to work (the way it works in the iTunes application on my Mac), is a lot better. If you have to separate the apps out, make iTunes the media player (regardless of the type) and put the two separate stores together as another app.

When i click on the music app or the video app, it just flashes back to the home screen?

So yeah, basically i just click on the music or video app, it looks like its about to show my music with the usual white background and then it just flashes back off onto the home screen. Very confusing! If anyone could be of help i'd be very greatful

I would try this sequenc first
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

I dowloaded ios5 for my iphone4, and when i finished the backup i lost all the music and all the videos i bought from the iTunes store. How can i get it back?

I dowloaded ios5 for my iphone4, and when i finished the backup i lost all the music and all the videos i bought from the iTunes store. How can i get it back?

Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.

How do I put these songs and videos onto the Music App?

How do I load mp3 content, videos, and other content from applications onto the music app? For example, I have applications such as Video Hunter Pro that downloads youtube videos, but how do I put the videos or audio track into my Music app? I don't want to constantly switch apps. For iTunes on all devices.

Only items directly downloaded from iTunes Store or synced over from iTunes on a computer can be placed in the music or video app.

Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play. That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app. It should work just fine, it does work ok for me on iphone 5. The original question was to play music videos in the music app. Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not. I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found. There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before.
The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play. There is simply no way to categorize or group videos. The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple. It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos. And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist. Actually it is getting worse. Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area.
Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
What is happening here???

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

On my iPad3, in the Music app, I can find my video playlists in my iTunes library, but they are all empty. This works fine on my iPhone4. Does anybody know what the problem is?

BACKGROUND: When I'm home, using my iPhone4 and MacPro/iTunes library, I've been watching video on my iPhone via the Home Sharing feature of the said devices. I have lots of videos in my iTunes library, so I've set up lots of video playlists to help organize stuff, and also to more quickly zone in on the video I want to watch from my iPhone and AppleTV. So here's the process I go through when I want to watch a video on my iPhone: go into the Music app, then hit the "More..." selection (along the bottom right of screen), then hit the "Shared" selection, then hit the "Bob's iTunes Library" selection, then hit the "Playlists" selection (along the bottom left of screen), then find/select the video playlist of choice, then find/select the video of choice, then start watching. Aside from the occasional spontaneous disconnect issue I've been having lately, it all works like a charm.
(NOTE: I tried the same procedure using the Videos app on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to see the video playlists in this app.)
TO THE PRESENT: So when I got my shiny new iPad3 this Monday, the very first thing I did was try to replicate this process on the iPad3. Because both the Videos app and the Music app look very different on the iPad vs their iPhone counterparts, I tried this using the Videos app first, but ran into the same problem as on the iPhone - there's no way (as far as I can tell) to view/access the video playlists in this app – all I see are icons, one for each video. I then tried the Music app, and steps are identical to the iPhone version. I got as far as getting to see my playlists, and then selecting the video playlist of interest, but once there, no videos are in the playlist, only a single song(??). In fact, none of the video playlists have any video files in them (some have song tracks??).

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Playing videos on Music app.

Since I downloaded upgrade, I cannot see music videos on Music app. I can see them one by one on the Video app, but when I create a playlist in order to shuffle the videos (for when I run), they cannot be seen. I can see them on iTunes and Video app, but not on playlist. I can see them when I click add and done, they come up as if I were deleting them with the red circle next to them. When I click done again (not selecting to delete), the list goes blank and I cannot select them. I might sell my iPod and switch to another player if this is not fixed.

I agree with you G-Daddy. I just bought Alpocolypse and it has several music videos at the end. On my iPhone it will play all of the songs and then play the music videos. Not so on the iPad.
Someone will probably make an App for that, if Apple lets it through.

Looking for app to show video, music, game memory usage

I'm looking for some utility app that can give some detailed info on how much memory is being used for each category of content such as videos, music, apps, etc. All I seem to be able to find are apps that show the total amount of memory being used. I'd appreciate any suggestions for good utilities to use for this. Thanks.

Bump!

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

IPod/Music App in iOS5 not sorting artist list alphabetically

Hello.
I've got what it seems to be an annoying bug from the new Music App/iPod in iOS5. It simply sorts my artists out of alphabetical order on the artist dashboard. I tried to use the option "group by album artist" on and off and it seems to have no effect on that issue.
I also found a way to fix it temporally, erasing all music data, and resyncing all the playlists/selected albums. But whenever I sync again to add a new album or playlist, it messes up with the alphabetical order again. Anyone with the same problem? Is there a bug fix, workaround?
I got some Screenshots of the problem taking place, attached below.

I have the same problem, I called apple about it. they recommended that I killed the music on the device and then remove the .itl file. after completing those steps to no avail decided to remove the music from the device and then reinstall itunes as this was the next step according to the apple technician. nada. I was replacing my laptop that I sync with anyway so I moved the music to my new pc and re-added all music to itunes. before syncing I /completly/ wiped my device! synced for the first time everything went well. added additional music and viola *Problem Happen*! I know this isnt really that big of an issue but c'mon I thought that updating to 5.01 last night would help but no joy there either! hopfully some of you have better luck than I did, I will be calling apple today I guess. BTW, does anyone know where the indexing for the artist lists happen? is it in itunes or on the device itself. that may help in determining where the problem is actually created.

Audiobooks in ios5 Music App

Ok, so everyone has already complained that the new Music app in ios 5 is a shockingly poor replacement for the old iPod app, but my issue goes a little deeper.
When I try to play a non-audible audiobook in the Music app, it only plays the track I selected, it does not move on to the next track. Quite annoying if you have 3000 tracks of 2mins long per audiobook....
If I install the iPhone Audible app (come on Audible, when are you gonna support iPad users properly), it can access my non-audible audiobooks, but it screws up the chapters...
I am literally pulling my hair out at this point. The iPod app was solid, why change it for something which has significantly reduced functionality. Fair enough if Apple and Audible have made a deal for all audiobooks to be played through their app, but their app isn't perfect and hasn't been built around the iPad platform.
The Music app on ios5 is a major step backwards... Please fix it ASAP

Hi Covuniracer,
When you play a non-audible audio book in the music app, is the book defined as an audiobook or just as music? Are the book files MP3's from CD or M4A's from CD or WMA or protected WMA? I'm asking because I have similar issues and I'm finding that the format of the original file seems to determine the eventual failure.
I have 3rd gen ipod touch 32Gb just upgraded to IOS5. Error symptoms are:
1) WMA/DRM transferred audio books:
a) Don't show up anwhere except in a play list. They show up in iTunes, but not anwhere on the ipod -- not as a book, not as music.
b) Track title are now 3-6 digit numbers. Album, Author, TRACK numbers, all missing.
Changing the setting (Devices, Summary Tab, reduce to 128kbps) has no effect.
Restoring and loading the iPOD as a new device had no effect.
Updating the apps on the IPOD has no effect.
2) MP3 transferred from library audio books:
a) Show up as music and will play if I leave them there, but if I tell iTunes they are audio books, they show up in audio books on the iPOD but will not play. They play fine on iTunes and on my shuffle. Putting these into playlists has no effect on their behavior.
b) I can get the Music app to recognize and play an MP3 audiobook as an audiobook for a short while by doing the following:
First, get it playing as a music file. Pause it. Start ITUNES, plug in the IPOD and redfine the book as an audiobook. Then sync, exit, unplug the pod. The book will still play from where we left it. Back track to the ALBUMS page-- its blank now, nothing shows up. Go to Audio book. It now shows up as an audio book and will play. Now if I go back to Albums, the expected stuff shows up on it.
This only works for a little while. As soon as I switch to the 2nd track, none of the MP3 audiobooks "fixed" in this way will play anymore.
Changing the setting (Devices, Summary Tab, reduce to 128kbps) has no effect.
Restoring and loading the iPOD as a new device had no effect.Updating the apps on the IPOD has no effect.
3) MP3 audio book ripped from CD seems to work fine. (SK Gunslinger)
4) M4a (ripped by earlier version of ITUNES) audio track seems to work fine.
Level 5 dance music shows up in Music, 64kbps AAC audio audio file. All the "fields" are good
Also: I move books to the pod by drag and drop only, I do no auto syncing.
