Music App Problems - iPhone 4

Hey I have an iPhone 4 and I've been having a few problems with the music app (possibly my iPhone as well):
1. Freezes when using coverflow - When I rotate my iPhone to enter coverflow I have to be really slow with it. It will crash and my screen will go blank and the little white wheel will appear in the center of the screen. And when I want to stop using coverflow and rotate back, the album cover will freeze and the music app will crash. But if it somehow doesn't crash in the process, I'm still not able to push pause or control the volume at all so I would have to exit the app completely.
2. While playing music my entire iPhone seems to lag. When I try to look through my phone while playing music, the screen seems to freeze at points or lag or when I hit the next button to skip a song it will take like 10 seconds to change the song. Also when I try to slide my finger to fast forward through a song it may take a while.
3. The next issue I have is with the Music App is when I have it docked on a speaker system. (This problem is a little hard to explain, but I will do my best) On the Beatbox by Dr.Dre is states in the manual that when my iPhone is docked, it should display the volume slider so I can see how loud it is. So when I have my iPhone docked onto my Beatbox By Dr.Dre I have to be really gentle. If the music is really loud and there is a lot of bass then the music will suddenly stop/pause and the volume slider will disappear. But if I were to hit play again and the keep the volume the same it will pause/stop again and a notification pops up saying that "this accessory is not compatible with the iPhone" and then the volume slider will re-appear and then the music will start coming out of my iPhone speaker instead. Even when I barely touch my iPhone 4 while it is docked, the music will stop. My brother has the same iPhone as me but in white and he does not have any signs of this problem when he uses his phone on the Beatbox. I know it can't be the dock connector on my iPhone because it works perfectly fine when I dock it on other speakers or connected to my Macbook and it can't be the Beatbox because my bother's iPhone works perfectly on it. I'm assuming it has to the Music App itself.
I have tried resetting my iPhone 4 and restoring it countless times. I have turned off the Sound Check and Volume Limit on my settings but I still have these problems. What should I do?

I have had this exact same problem? I really don't know how to fix it! :'(

I can do it in my mac why not iphone . This is a really huge mistake compare to android phones

Hi Ferretbite
Thank you for answering me but i dont think you relize what Iam asking for
first itunes store need an American apple ID with an American credit to purchase DIRECTLY from iphone and this all people outside US dont have , so no one outside US and (major countries) can download music directly from thier Iphone
Second , if we assume I can download from itunes , itunes store dont have all the music you need for example Iam in middle east I listen to arabic music and itunes dont have most of the arabic music I listen to and this is a HUGE problem for all costumers in middle east and similiar countries .
Third, mac users can download music from the internet other than itunes store even if it illegal why that ?? and NOT all free websites are illegal like (nogomistars) for arabic music .
I just want to say that I love my iphone and I love apple. But you should give iphone users a free using for their phones like you do with mac users for the reason that i gave it you above .
Sorry for the long reply tc

You would have to create the ringtones.
Google will find several way to do this.
You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.

Can't open Music app on iPhone 4s

Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignore the red off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

TS1702 Problem with the Music app on iPhone 4S

In the music app on my iPhone 4S, I select the "Genres" tab at the bottom menu and when I click on "Rock" it takes me to my "Folk" albums. In my iTunes on my MBP, they are correctly labeled and when the iPhone is connected to the computer, all seems well. Has anyone else had any problems like this with this app?

So sorry I just saw that there many people with the same problem as mine, sorry to spam you guys. I will write into the correct topic.

What's the problem with the music App on iPhone 3GS iOS 6.1.3

Hello Kunmon,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Music app problem's in ios6? i can't see a few artists in the list.

Hi guys, i update my iPhone 4s yesterday from 5.1.1 to 6, everytime i sent a new music from iTunes to iPhone, in the artists list, doens't show any artist i have, if i goes to the songs list, all my musics appears, btw in the artists no, i just want to know if this problem is with me only, or anyone more is facing the same problem.
thanks

Same thing with my iPhone 5 music app. It kinda just "shuffles" really fast and not play anything. It goes through all the songs in all the albums really fast...but you can't hear anything.
I tried restarting the app AND the phone (several times) and I have checked that the shake thing is off.
What's happening?? I might have to go to the genius bar again *sigh*

Music app problems iOS 8.2

I'd thought I would post this, but my music app was perfectly fine till I upgraded to iOS 8.2. I can't figure this one out, because it's still bugging me. But whenever I restored my iPod touch 5g, some of the music artists on certain songs would have different names or will have a featuring artist added on for no reason.
Example:
                    Taio Cruz & Travie McCoy - Higher (as listed on the store and iTunes playlist)
                    Taio Cruz - Higher (as listed on iPod)
I don't know what's going on here, but I never edited the changes. As it's showing up different on my iPod. Does it have something to do with iCloud or is it a glitch? If anyone else is experiencing this problem, please reply below.
Thanks!
P.S. - I've restored it six times and the problem is still there. And noticed it on my iPhone as well...

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IOS 8.1 screen rotation in music app problem

I'm currently experiencing a problem with my music app on the iPhone 6. Whenever I open the music app and rotate it into landscape mode, the screen switches off but when I rotate it back to portrait it comes on again.How do I solve this? On iPhone 6

I have rebooted the iPhone 5 and initially things seem to be fine. But then after a while if as I say, you disconnect the headphones or some other disruption occurs to the music the play/pause button in the command centre does not work. If you the go back to your list of tracks the little graphic equaliser icon is working indicating the track is playing, but it is not!
I wasted a couple of hours yesterday thinking some work I was doing on my bike was faulty but I then tried it with an ipad on the last version of iOS and that works fine, the music resuming normally after a nav instruction interruption.

Music App Problems iOS7

I am not having problems syncing music with iOS7, however I am having other issues.
For example, the app OFTEN crashes and freezes. This is a native app, should not be having this issue.
Also, why did they take away the feature where double tapping the home button brings up the music controls? Can I bring that back?

Double tap the home button and close out all the "cards" you have open by swiping them up. Make sure you don't have any apps left open. Tap the home button again when your done or just tap on the screen that's left (that can't be closed) now open the music app again it should not crash now. To pull up music controls slide from the very bottom of your screen upward this will bring control center where you can control your music player from any screen (actually better if you ask me) just have to get used to it. Hope that helps. If it doesn't I would consider doing a back up and restore by connecting your phone to iTunes and following the instructions under restore iPhone.

Music app in iPhone 6 deletes music artwork and songs

I have spent hours trying to fix this, but have had to restore factory settings and replace 10,000+ songs to the phone twice now. I use a MacBook Pro with iTunes 12..0.1.26. I bought the 128GB iPhone 6 for the purpose of playing my large CD collection. What happens is that after adding music to my phone, I can listen to it without problems for a few weeks, and then suddenly one day all of the artwork will disappear, and when I try to play songs in a playlist it will flash up the name of each song one by one and then give a message that there are no songs to play. When I check the music library the songs are no longer on the phone. This happens with all songs except ones purchased from the iTunes Store.
I have set iTunes to manage music manually and unchecked all sync options. I have disabled iTunes Store and iTunes Match on the phone. I have "hidden" iTunes Radio on the phone. "Show All Music" and "Genius" are both disabled in the settings for the music app. I have turned cellular data off for the music app. I have even tried to trick Autofill by creating an empty folder to Autofill from as there is no option to turn Autofill off. I guess my problem is that I have spent a lot of money on CD's and Apple wants me to buy all of my music from iTunes. It would be cheaper to buy a new (non-Apple) phone than to buy my music twice, but I would prefer to stick with my iPhone if I can find a solution.

I have worked it out. All you have to do is sync the music from iTunes. It is not possible to delete music from the computer while keeping it on the iPhone. Then, whenever you want to add a few new songs, delete the entire phone, restore factory settings and start again. It only takes a couple of hours each time. Well done Apple - what an intuitive system.

ITunes match breaks music app on iPhone 4

I've had iTunes Match for about a month and my iPhone 4 music app has been sluggish throughout. Today when I tried to play any music on the phone it refused, I can't play anything. I pick an album, press play and nothing happens - it just stays stuck on zero minutes of the song. So I've had to turn iTunes Match off. It's very disappointing.
I should add that I have a friend who has an iPhone 4S and he has no sluggishness problems, perhaps the iPhone 4 can't handle Match?

I've just discovered my Mac has accumulated 56 crash reports for the Music App this year! I have an iPhone 4 and the iTunes Match service makes the whole phone sluggish.
Did you ever find a solution?

Music App Problem

Hey guys, I've got an annoying problem with my music app. It shows the songs that I've previously bought through iTunes and I don't want them on my phone. I think it's being shown through iCloud, but I don't have iCloud set up to back up my muisc. I've tried swiping to delete them and the delete option doesn't pop up, and the songs don't show up when I plug my phone into iTunes. A little background info - iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2, almost two years old. If someone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Volcoman,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right. To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.
For more information, please see page 63 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7

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?
