Music Device Not Working

Why isn't some of my music working on my device? The screen turns grey with an unknown album then goes to the next song or tries to play the mucus but it isn't helpful. Can someone help me please.

Ios8 update music app not working

music app not working after ios8 update

I wanted to add something here that may or may not be accurate, since I was suffering the exact same issues (on an iPhone 6+, and replicated on an iPhone 5 patched to 8.0) you were describing Nick. In an effort to trouble shoot this I picked up one of the third party tools that allows you onto the iOS device file system. I've been trying since Friday night to reproduce the conditions that cause the issue but haven't quite narrowed it down. Including this here in case the Engineers are poking around in the discussion boards and are trying to reproduce this.
This is an iPhone 6+ running 8.0 (12A366) connecting physically to iTunes 11.4 on a MBP running 10.9.5 (13F34; fully patched).
Here's what I did last night and this seems to have worked (meaning, I can sync music now without issue at least for syncs this morning; will confirm tonight by syncing again):
Turned off iTunes Match on the iTunes library I am syncing from
Unchecked all non-AAC music files (Apple lossless and MPEG audio both; these were just flat out refusing to copy over, claiming to have copied but coming up with the exclamation point when accessed on the device via iTunes; none of these lossless or mp3 files have been an issue in any previous version of iOS, meaning they are all of the correct sample and bitrate to be used and can sync to other devices in the household running iOS 7)
Removed all music from the iOS device (by deselecting music syncing)
Hard rebooted the iOS device after disconnecting it; rebooted the iTunes library host
Reconnected the iOS device and fired up the third party app (this is the part I do not recommend, but I was eager to try to figure out what the root cause was)
Removed the iTunes library files on iOS (this is something I had done between other factory resets earlier to force the iOS device to rebuild the library; to rule out library corruption)
Removed any "music" folders remaining on the iOS device (this is also something I had done a few times which had had no effect)
Removed any saved artwork (this was something I had not done before, but I too had noticed a strange correlation between it stopping working and the artwork being synced)
Disconnected and rebooted the iOS device again (forcing a recreation of the iTunes library database files)
Reconnected the device and started syncing small playlists (50-100 songs). In increments it all seems to be syncing up now without issue
The two new steps this time around that seem, at least at initial glance, to have solved the problem are stopping syncing any non-AAC music media files and the deletion of the existing artwork folders on the iOS device. Syncing appears to be working, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the device.

Dual-Boot; Restart and boot other o/s USB devices not working

I have issue with my msi z97-g43 mobo and Windows dual o/s PC.
Booting with win-8.1, USB devices working very well.Restaring windows 8.1 have NOT any issue.
After shutdown & start PC, choosing to boot windows 7 on bootmanager, USB devices not working in Win-7.
System no hang or occur any error/BSOD message.All startup programs run as normal.
I tried to re-plug usb devices but notting happens... Still not working
But after the win-8.1 shutdown, if i switch off PSU power button, watting ~1 munute for discharge.
After power up PC and boot with windows 7 all usb devices works normaly.
I checked all internal connections. 2 times disassembly all hardware and re-built system, nothing changed.All windows updates and latest drivers installed.
I'm sure other H/W is OK, but I thnik this mobo have a fault.

Thank you for reply.My PC system specs:

All hdd's have MBR based partition table.Windows 7 & 8.1 installed in non-efi mode.In BIOS Boot sequence is setting up to non-efi Boot(system) drive as primary.
Before I suspect maybe have a short circuit to pcb or similar thing cause this issue.I take out all parts outside the chassis, and ran this system on the antistatic bag and box.Nothing has been changed.
I have Cooler Master Devastator(MB24 + MS2k) USB keyb+mouse set and tplink wn722n usb wireless dongle.
I have one more pc,based on AMD 970+SB950 chipset mainboard and AMD CPU.I exchange all parts to this amd mainbaord and tested for faulted hardware.All intel system H/W's is ok.All works great
Dual boot works perfectly.Not needs to switch off psu/power back and run system again.
I think msi z97-g43 mainbıoard have a problem.

Or does anybody have a solution to the problem. If So please help me its driving me demented seriously concidering to go to android for that sort of stuff cause of the dame restrictions on apple devices!

iOS devices do not pair with computers, as data transfer over bluetooth is not supported.
Computers are not airplay compatible unless you have downloaded an app to make them so.
User to user forum, so I don't care if you switch to android or any other threats you make.

Hi there @Sweeto684
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your fingerprint reader is not working and that your system is running very slow, but please clarify what you mean by saying you lost the recovery data. Are you referring to the factory recovery image stored on your system, or are you meaning something else?
I am happy to help you with all of this, but need to know more before I can make some useful recommendations. I want to avoid having you do something that could cause a problem with something else, until I know what problem really is.

In My IPhone the sound device not working properly. I can here the sound through head set only.kindly send an idea ti solve this problems

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

5800 music library not working..

my 5800's music library is not working anymore and it cant play mp3 and other sound files.. but when i remove the memory card..it can play the sounds..also my picture editor is not working..
in my memory card..i found many folders namely _PAlbTN..is it a virus??
do I need to reformat my memory card?
and what do i haveto copy on my pc when i format it?
just the mp3 videos and pictures? or do I have to copy also the folders like private, sys, etc?
pls help..

That is a thumbnail file.
You can format the card if you want, but that would also bring problems on the apps if you do not uninstall them first as your phone will read then as not uninstalled properly and you wont be able to download them again from Ovi Store. So when you format it, just copy your own files (music, pictures, etc) and leave everything else alone.
How exactly does your music player not work anymore. Has it stopped showing songs? Cant it refresh?

Iphone 4S will not charge, error that USB device not working, found any suggestions?

iphone 4S will not charge, error that USB device not working, found any suggestions?

Hello Chambless,
The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone to charge.
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

ITunes organizing music does not work and deletes my files

When I have checked box nex to where it said something like : keed folder organized, scince i have so much music, it decided to move my music into compilations folder it had created by itself. After wards i was moving files from compilations folder to artist music belonged to. Little while later it decided to move all my music to the trash. And scince trash doesn't hold everything, it deleted 95% of my music. iTunes decides also to create and decide where to put music by itself, moves half to under artist name half somewhere else. Just to let apple people know, next time I'll get an mp3 player, but rather go with Zune or something, so I wouldn't have to use iTunes

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

Music & Video Not Working

The music and video apps on my iPod touch (3rd generation, 32 gb) do not work but instead lead to a blank black screen. Safari and the other apps still work, but music and video don't. Anybody know how to troubleshoot?

And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried the basics? Such as a reset of the device? How about restoring it via iTunes?

Music app not working at all

Hi,
A little back story as of how this happened, I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS8 and found out that it was rather laggy on this outdated device, thus, i decided to downgrade back to iOS7.1.2 using a IPSW restore. Thereafter, my apps, contacts, remotely everything was gone when my device booted up from the restoration. I manually downloaded my apps back, iCloud seemed to get my contacts back, but whenever i open my music app, it's always at the album tab and when i attempt to access the 'songs' tab, it just crashes automatically. Tried hard resetting the phone, restarting and what not, it all did not work at all. Also, it is notable that after my restoration back to iOS7.1.2, i could no longer sync my phone to my laptop, with errors like 'syncing cannot be finished because session cannot be finished' Everything is working fine except for the sycning issue and that my music isn't working at all.

You restored it?
From backup?
Or as new?
Try both.

Devices not working :/

FFirst off my phone won't sinc all my music I have over 40g of memory it syncs part but not all. Second off my phone has bugs like for real it just restarts all the time especially in my music app whicy hardly works anyways. My iPad and macbook are starting to do it too I can barley use the device without a glitch. I don't know what to do. I Think it's the update.

Have you checked to see if there is a LaCie firmware update? That is actually first thing I would do and is very likely, and has been noted previously.
There are a few out there with a FireWire port not working at all.
Your LaCie has FW400/800 ports?
You can always run the combo update to 10.4.x.
I would look for a new FW800 case if LaCie doesn't have any firmware or help.
http://www.macsales.com/firewire - I have half a dozen FW800 etc from here.
