Music App Stopped Rendering an Index

I have previously loaded part of my music collection onto my Passport's 8G SD card, without incident . Today as the card is nearly full I added additional music directly on the device thru a cut and paste process. The music is onboard the Passport, but the music app shows a "No Music" message in the app and a "Scanning Device Storage" progress bar at the top of the app is stuck at an early stage.
I can play the music from the device or SD card thru the selection of a track from the File Manager, but the Music app refuses to render any indexing with or without album art.
Is there anything I can do to rectify this problem? I have turned the Passport off and on without any resolution.

Here is a post from 1 1/2 years ago about the same issue from the Z10 boards BlackBerry-Z10/BB10-Music-Player-showing-files-that-dont-exist-and-cant-be-accessed
I had to backup data thru Link. Do a security wipe on the device. Remove the SD card and replace it with a new larger 32 G card. Restore data from the image. The Music and Picture apps would not re-index and showed scanning upto 75% but no further for over 36 hours. I then removed the music media on device (bought from the 7 Digital site) and then the Music, Picture and Adobe reader started working.
It appears to me that BB has semaphore lockups when copying media thru Link and have had it for at 1 1/2 years with BB10.
At least for now, things are functioning properly.

Music app stopped working

My Music app stopped working yesterday in the middle of a podcast. The screen was frozen, although the scroll of the title at the top continued. I had to unplug the earbuds to pause the podcast, but since then, I haven't been able to get another podcast/song to start, and the screen is frozen on the podcast that it was on yesterday. All the other apps on my iTouch work fine. I'm on OS5.I was plugged in to a power source at work (not my PC) when it happened, but I've synced since then, and it's still locked up. Help!
Bobby

I am able to play podcasts directly from the iTunes app, it's just the music app that's locked up.

Music App Stops Playing

I'm having an issue with the music app on my Iphone 5 (version 7.0.4) and my brand new Ipad mini (not sure what version). It plays the first few songs fine and then randomly stops, the play button is still an arrow (it's not paused, my head phones haven't come unplugged). The progress bar (thing that shows how much time is left on a song) stops moving as well. I can skip to the next song but it won't start playing either. Even when the music does play, sometimes my Ipad states that its playing the song I've selected but it is actually playing another song... If I restart either device, the app will work for a few minutes and start doing the same thing again. The first time my phone did this, I looked at all the obvious fixes (such as headphones, pausing, low battery, etc.) and couldn't come up with a solution so I unplugged my headphones and went to bed and about 10 minutes later was woken up by my music playing right where it left off. I have no idea why this is happening as I've had my phone for almost two years now, I haven't done any updates for 6 months or so and my Ipad is brand new, I literally bought it last week (really regretting now buying that store warranty). Anyone have any suggestions?

It's back!!!!!! The problem went away for a few days now same issue. It only happens when I am listening to sound files on the headphones - sudden pause then restart in the middle of playing the sound file, this happens with different music/podcase apps. No issue with bluetooth streaming or speaker phone. So it appears there is a software bug with Lollipop update - never had this problem with KitKat. Factory reset does not fix it. I wish there was a way to revert the phone back to KitKat. Hoping the new Lollipop update would fix this.

After updating to lollipop the music app would play for a few minutes then stops for a few seconds then play again, did not have issue with kitkat. Help please.

Siri keeps activating and podcast & music app stop mid song

was just wondering if this is a known issue or only something i am experiencing, it appears to have started within the last week, siri will activate asking for a question then will immediate make the tone when you do not submit anything or cancel. this seems to happen only when i am using the podcast or music app, which both also randomly stop mid song. it will occasionally jump ahead to the next track, but this is much more rare. it also seems to occur a lot more regularly when i am walking. any ideas?

Itunes Match makes Music App stop working 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 applications stop playing when my phone locks

I was forced to update my phone from the 5.0 software to the 7 iOS software because most of my applications would no longer take updates. Now when I play my music applications every time my phone locks my music apps stop playing. I have researched this and it appears there is no way around it. The only thing that helps (not much) is extending the lock screen time to 5 minutes. Most of my phone use (other than text and talk) is streaming music and now it is a total pain due to this limiting feature. Did they do this to try to force customers to pay for music on I-Tunes? Does Apple have plans to fix this or should I start shopping for a different brand smart phone?
I have also noticed that my battery life is way shorter with the new update. I can't even make it through a full day now. Is there any way to reverse the upgrade and go back to 5.0 or am I stuck with the new software. Frustrating...

There is no Apple in this user to user forum.
Not sure why people keep talking about changing to a different brand, - we users don't care if you stay or go away from Apple.
My music plays just fine when I use the built in music app.
If you're using a 3rd party app - then talk to the app developer or look at their support site.

The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch. How do I get it to begin working? It just stopped today.

The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch. How do I get it to begin working? It just stopped today.
Does anyone know what I can do? I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing. The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Looking for a music app that doesn't stop playing music when album over

Back in the 90s, I had a 5 disc CD player. When one album was done, it would move to the next album.
With iTunes, one album was done, the next album would start playing.
With iPhone, one abum is done, music stops playing.
I don't understand the logic behind the iPhone music app. This is especially bad for when I'm driving.
I'm looking for a type of Music app that either:
1) Allows me to swipe to next/previous album as well as next/previous track. (maybe a swipe up/down command)?
or
2) Allows me to display all songs, but sorted by Artist or album (that way I automatically have one long
or
3) Will automatically advance to the next album when the current one is done.

Bob, I have the guide, just didn't think of the playlist angle. I was looking for the genre/Siri thing. But hey, making a playlist worked.
Demo, yes Siri works now that I've made a playlist and say "playlist" And I'm satisfied with the fix.
But you'd think apple could make playing music more convenient. I took off all my music and retagged it, leaving all info blank (ie: albums and artists etc) and leaving only genre because it's so difficult to get it play a genre. I'd pick a genre, start with a song and it would play only songs from a single album. I've read of some odd fixes for this and a couple of them worked...sometimes! (If you stand on one leg and whistle Dixie kind of things) Ridiculous!
By eliminating all tag info except genre I fixed that issue and can now play by genre.
But as of now Siri still won't play Gospel music by my asking, she still replaces my spoken "Gospel" with her "Christian & Gospel" which like I said doesn't exist. And correcting Siri doesn't work. All my music falls into 3 genres, 2 of them Siri handles perfectly, Gospel she messes up.
Bottom line - I shouldn't have had to make a playlist, or played with the tagging of my music. Apple says you can play your music by genre, and it should be simple to do so.

Music stops playing but Music app still shows as playing

My wife's 4S keeps having problems while playing music. The sound will stop, but the Music app shows it is still playing. I don't really know what to even try to do to fix this. I may try restoring it. Might be a hardware issue. Any others have this happen? It is one of those issues that occurs at random so its hard to pin down. I may also have her try listening to Pandora for awhile and see if it does the same thing. Might be able to nail down if it is app related or hardware. Nevertheless, that would be one additional thing to tell Apple I tried.

The question is old, I'm not sure if the problem is the same as mine.
Symptoms:
I will be playing music
The song stops playing
If I skip a number of songs I will sometimes get one that works
If I return to "Songs" and search for the song, it will show up with a "download from iCloud" symbol
If I stop playback, then tap the "Download from iCloud" symbol, the song will eventually start playing again
Platform:
iPhone 4
iOS 7
Apple's Music app
Synced using iTunes
iCloud settings (Settings -> iCloud) only cover Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc
I do NOT have "iTunes Match" turned on, nor am I subscribed to iTunes Match
I do have "Show All" turned on for Music and Videos (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
I do have "Automatic Downloads" turned on for Music, Apps, Books (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
I have "Use Cellular Data" turned off in Settings-> iTunes and App Store)
My Music app is signed in for Home Sharing
How I have worked around the problem for the meantime: when listening to music, turn the iPhone 4's "Airplane Mode" on. Sure, I can no longer make or receive phone calls, iMessages, SMS, browse the web, or anything else but at least my music doesn't spontaneously stop.
I have not had problems with the iPhone ceasing playback of music that I loaded onto the device from CDs (i.e.: the problem only occurs with songs that I've bought from the iTunes Music Store).
Having reviewed the settings, I've turned off "Automatic Downloads" in case that's what has caused my problem (i.e. iOS 7 is getting confused about the song being on my iPhone already so it deletes the song and then re-downloads it). This problem has only occurred once every few months, so it's going to be very difficult to verify that any fix or workaround actually works.

Bug Report: use of Stock Music app causes Droid X to stop recognizing MP3 files

Here's an interesting one:
At some point within the last week or so, not sure how exactly when, I noticed my phone suddenly stopped playing any MP3 files. Ringtones. Music. All stopped working. When I'd try to play an MP3 file by opening it in either Ringdroid or Astro, my Droid X displayed an error that the audio file type was not supported. Rebooting the phone fixed the issue. The unit was able once again to play audio, but would stop again a short time later. What could be causing this?
My wife and I have identical Droid Xs. I use the Music app and she does not. She has not yet lost any audio capabilities on her device. Based on this, I downloaded the DoubleTwist player and have been using it regularly for 3 days.
My DroidX played all audio files without a problem. It retained all ringtones and notifications and played any MP3 file on demand.
I switched back to using the Music player to play 1 file. Within an hour, my phone had once again failed to recognize MP3 files and had to be rebooted.
Is there a workaround for this?
And will the MotoRizon engineers be fixing this in the rumored forthcoming patch?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello sledball. I have read your post and understand your issue with the MP3 files on your device. You will want to perform a hard reset on your device and backup everything on your SD Card and if needed reformat your SD Card.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab(located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Privacy.
Touch Factory Data Reset.
Touch Reset Phone.
If presented, enter the current passcode or draw the unlock pattern
Touch Erase Everything.
Ive done the hard reset after upgrading to 2.2... and this doesn't help.. My Droid X will still not recognize my mp3's and will change my ringtone to default from time to time...

Every time a call ends or I miss a call my podcasts start playing. I realize this is because the app is only paused and not stopped; however this is a problem I didn't have before the podcast app when it was just integrated into the music app.

It also does this after I use Siri. I have an iphone 5 and it does the same thing on my 3gs. Since I forget to stop the app frequently it becomes annoying to have podcasts starting at random when in a meeting.
Thanks for any help!

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

How to stop Music app from shuffling

Running latest iOS on iPhone 4S. The Music app is playing through a very large playlist (>1000 songs) that I want to listen to in order, but it is shuffling songs in the list. How do I get this to stop? When a song is playing, the "Repeat", "Create" and "Shuffle" buttons on the bottom of the screen are in normal red text.

Sadly, this did not help.
Oddly, the playlist in iTunes on my computer is in order by track number; on the phone, the tracks appear to be sorted by artist name.
How to make it work right?? Frustrating!

Why have iplayer, music and YouTube apps stopped working on iPad 1?

These have all stopped working on my iPad this week, any ideas on why and what to do?

I also have an iPad1 and my YouTube app keeps giving me an "authentication failed" error. It was working fine up until this morning. I have tried everything I can find online to regain access including: verifying that I am using the correct user name and password, activating 2-step verification and several attempts at application-specific passwords...no luck so far. I am going to try to resist the urge to keep trying for a while, hoping that maybe allowing it time to reset will help???
I do not usually use the Music app, but it seems to work okay for me. I only have a single podcast on there, but it played okay when I tried it. And I do not have iPlayer, so no idea about that one.
Of course Apple online support is no help because my device is "too old" and I can't afford to spend $20 for them to talk to me. Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
