Music App... Shuffle, lock screen ect.

A whole bunch of items that I think apple really screwed up with the release of ios7.
1) What happened to shuffle? They changed the icon which is confusing in items to use. When you want to shuffle a certain album by an artist you simply cannot. It will shuffle every song by the artist. I noticed recently itunes starting doing this as well.
2) Album organization. It used to be simple and easy to use. Artist>Album>Songs. It is still this format, but to get to a certain album you have to go through every song of the album before it. Extremely annoying to navigate and painful to the eyes. Another feature i have no idea why they changed.
3) Music app from the lock screen. Now that the whole screen swips to unlock, the music controls move as well. Which make its difficult to change the volume, ski tracks difficult as the entire screen moves thinking you are trying to unlock the phone.
4) Controls all at the bottom when unlocked. They moves shuffle, repeat, and track scrolling down to the bottom for some reason. Which crams every button in a tight space making it very easy to hit the wrong button.

it works fine on my phone. try to check access Settings- Control center - make sure Access on Lock Screen and Access within Apps are On. while on lockscreen mode, try swiping up from the bottom of the screen to view control center. try to play a song, then swipe it down to hide the control center. u will see there music playing while on the lockscreen and can pause it from there.. hope this will help.

HT5957 Controlling music apps in lock screen doesn't work in ios7.02?

After applying the second update to ios7, none if my music apps function in the lock screen. No stopping music from any app including the Apple music app in the lock screen. This means that Bluetooth controllers such as car stereo systems can't control next track, pause or stop on any music app being accessed since the screen is generally locked while driving. This is dangerous because the only way to control these apps - while driving - is to unlock the phone. Apparently my phone is now more secure, but I guess that means it securely doesn't work in lock screen.

Try A and B
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Ios7 music from the lock screen via control centre

Help!!! whilst i can see how it is quicker to access music from the lock screen via control centre it doesn't appear to work correctly
when returning to the control centre from the lock screen after a few minutes listening to music it works fine i.e. the track you were listening to appeas there
my issue is that if you return to the control centre after not listening to music say for a few hours or overnight it does no return to the track you were listening to and decidess for itself that its in shuffle mode. very frustrating
is this correct or is this in the settings

You can try the standard fixes:
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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Wait for next iOS update

Music App shuffle option doesn't work

Stats: iPad 1, iOS 5.0.1
Music App shuffle option doesn't work. I have already reset the iPad, removed all my music and resynched. Shuffle button is selectable, but just plays the songs in alphabetical order, even if I try to skip to another song or start anywhere on my playlist.
So far this version of music player for apple product is disappointing, the iTunes app before never had these issues. There are some serious bugs in this Music app, Apple your comback success was largely because of iPods and iTunes, so music is a big part of Apple users use, please fix this.

Hello,
Yes I believe this is a known bug in Firefox OS v1.0. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883781 Bug 883781].
The bug is marked as resolved in Firefox OS v1.1. Once ZTE update the Open to v1.1 the bug will be fixed on your device.
v1.1 of Firefox OS was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches the ZTE Open. See here for more details:

I hope that helps.

No reverse seek on music player during locked screen

I noticed that there is no reverse seek << on music player on locked screen, it only displayed the forward seek >>. This shouldn't happened because in Kitkat all is complete forward or rewind. Sony pls fix this bug.

It is indeed gone, have you checked this out?

Music app shuffles always

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.
The Music app seems to be stuck in shuffle mode. The Shuffle icon is not highlighted, but I can't toggle it either. It just always plays in shuffle mode. I've tried playing an album in its song order and I've tried playing a playlist in its order. It always shuffles.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?

Never mind, I got it. For some reason, tapping the screen was taking a really long time popping up the additional controls, so I never got to them. Sometimes these gratuitous UI changes are annoying.

Stuck music controls in lock screen iOS 8.1.3

For some reason I have yet to analyze, my music controls display on my lock screen when there is no music or video app playing. The controls are suck in "play" mode with the pause button visible but tapping it has no effect. The clock and date do not display and I can only seem to rest the unit by performing a hard restart.
I am running a Verizon 64Gb iPhone 6+ and may take a wild guess that it has something to do with the YouTube app.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.

IPhone music pauses when locking screen

Hi guys!
I have an iPhone 3GS and my issue is that when I play music whenever I go to switching to a different app or locking the phone the music (podcasts) pause for a second or two and then begin playing again.
Has anyone had this issue before and knows any suggestions on how to fix the issue?
Thanks josh :-)

Hi, I had the same problem. Now, I know you said not to reply if I was gonna say that the headphones are in correctly; but I had the same problem and it worked. Push them in as far as they go! It works! You may have thought you tried that (I did too),but one day I was ****** that it didn't work, and I pushed them in as hard as they could, and now when it goes into the black screen mode, the music keeps playing, I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you, but it worked for me and all my friends. Good Luck!

Remove Music Widget on Lock Screen

Since upgrading to 4.3.3 today, I cannot remove the music widget from my lock screen. I've made sure the app is not open, closed all running apps, and restarted my phone. Any suggestions?

If you'd rather not have a Lock on your screen you could go into settings >> security & screen lock, screen lock then choose none.. then when you tap the screen it will be at your home screen..

Music Playback from Lock Screen

Something that was noticed on my 3GS after the initial iOS 5 update that I wanted to see if anyone else has seen, or knows what may be causing it
Started the music app, locked my iPhone and then skipped a song using the lock screen controls
Every time the lock screen controls are used to skip a song or restart one, there is a noticible "blip" in the audio, as if the phone has issues reading the music
I've completely reset my phone to factory settings and re-synced, and it never did this on iOS 4, so its definitely something related to the update
I updated to iOS 5.0.1 today to see if it was one of the bugs fixed in that batch
Any help or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
UPDATE: iOS 5.0.1 - issue still exists, payed a bit closer attention to the phone's behavior in the lock screen
Happens when the lock screen controls time-out, so its definitely tied to that end of the software

The music player is only on the lockscreen when you double-tap the home button. Another double-tap removes it.

Can developers create apps with lock screen buttons?

Title pretty much says it all. Is it possible for developers to create apps that have lock screen buttons that appear with a home button double tap similar to the itunes control buttons? I've seen other apps tap into itunes media controls but can you create a custom version of that while leaving itunes controls enabled as well?

Based on your brief description of what you intend to do, yes --- can't.
I'm not sure how I could be any more specific without actually telling you what the app does. Basically can you make custom buttons in the lock screen appear in a similar fashion to the way the previous (<<), play (>), and next (>>) buttons appear when the home button is double tapped.
Also, not being in a paid program is going to significantly limit asking questions like this and understanding responses here, so...
Why is that? Its my understanding that paying the $99 means the app can actually go on the store and you can test it on a real device vs the emulator. The whole reason I was asking this question was to determine if an idea me and a buddy had was capable of being done before investing money in it.

Whenever I try to pause or skip music on my lock screen it doesn't allow me to. It doesn't allow me to do that from the control center either. I am running on iOS7. How to fix this problem ?

I've had this issue since I downloaded iOS 7. Is there any way to fix this ?

I have the same problem!
I came on here to see if anyone has a solution, but it seems there might not be one just. Keeping my fingers crossed. Quickly adjusting music selections from the lock screen was one of my favorite and most used features (not to mention this bug renders control center pretty much useless to me if I have not access to my music from it).

Usually I am able to play music from my lock screen by pressing the home button twice but now it won't come up with any thing when I do that. Wat do I do?

I usually am able to push the home button twice while on the lock screen and access music but today it stopped working and now doesn't come up with anything. Please help!!

Hi,
Try resetting your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.
