Music has frozen

Music on the iPad has frozen and when I go into settings and go in music it freezes the everything and the only way I can get out of it is to turn it off.  Sound on the iPad has stopped and the only way I can hear anything is by using headphones.

Hello JassmineJassmine,
It sound like there are 2 issues here. First is that the Music app and the music settings are making the phone unresponsive but the phone is able to turn off normally.
I want to recommend a few things here. First quit all the open apps that are running with this article.
iOS: Force an app to close

Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the iPad:

If the issue with the Music app persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Hi Floodzer,
    To start your troubleshooting process, I recommend going throught the following steps from the iPad: Basic troubleshooting article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Cheers,

  • My music has frozen, I cannot return back to other playlists or my library, it just shows blank.  How do I get back to my library?

    I can only see e top bar, with the rewind/play/fast forward buttons and song title, the rest od the screen is just blank

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or 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.

  • My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

    My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or 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.  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."

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

  • IPad has frozen on Facebook.everything else is working?

    iPad has frozen on Facebook everything else is working?

    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • My i pad has frozen and has locked up, how do I unlock it?

    My I-Pad has frozen and I cannot get my screen back.  How can I unlock it?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  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 and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  If you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My iphone screen has frozen what should i do

    i have a problem when trying to down load itunes the screen has frozen and will not change

    Hard Reset (Home Button and Sleep/Wake simultaneously for 10-15 seconds).
    If you're trying to download music on the phone check purchase history on iTunes before re-downloading because you dont wanna be double charged.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • Most of my music has been lost, how can i get it back?

    almost all of my music has been lost randomly when i openned my iTunes and i can't find a way to get it back!

    See this post.

  • I REALLY need help W/ my New Ip 4. Music Note Link, takes me right to the store, and keeps telling me, all my music has been downloaded, but I can't find it anywhere.... HELP!!!

    I upgraded my Original Iphone to an Iphone 4, and am having issues syncing my Music,
    It asked me, if I wanted to set up my phone as a NEW Iphone, or use the last sync. I figured, using the last sync would simply move everything over. NOT, so much. I am using Windows, Not Mac.
        I uploaded the LATEST version of Itunes. And on occasion if I click the Music link button, and tap a bunch of things,.. It will take me to a page that says,.. Iphone or Shared Library. The only way I can get my music to show up, is via, tapping Shared Owner's Library. But it takes a zillion taps to get there, and 50% of the time doesn't show up at all. It says- repeatedly, Either, "You have no songs," etc. or when I tap, "Not on this device" it says, "all of your music has been downloaded to this device..." But HOW do I get to it?
        On my OLD phone, all I had to do was tap the Music Note,... and my library showed up... That's all I want...
    I put my music in the cloud, etc,.. I just thought that was a COPY. Am I needing some kind of CLOUD app on my phone? Or Can someone walk me thru this... I'd be eternally grateful. I'm ready to throw this thing out the window! HELLLPPP! PLEASE!!!
    Thank You In Advance,
    Shea....

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

    You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
    So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

  • My iPhone 3gs has frozen after trying to update to 5.0.1 and will not turn on or off. Only showing the iTunes logo and the usb cable on the screen. What can I do to fix this?

    My iPhone 3gs has frozen while doing update 5.0.1 I think it was. All it shows is the iTunes logo and the usb cable on the screen. I will not turn on or off. I have tried reconnecting to iTunes but nothing happens. Have held both buttons for 10 seconds etc and nothing is working! What can I do?

  • How do I display the playlist(s) to which my music has been assigned?

    I know that I have music in my library which is not in any of my playlists. The question is, "Which songs?" I suppose I could look in the playlist I think it should be in to see if it's there, but by number 500 or so my eyes get kind of tired; and what if I put it in the wrong playlist by accident; or what if I overlooked it? I suppose I could just start from scratch too, but I hope I don't have to do that. I think it would be a lot simpler if there were a way to display the playlist to which a piece of music is assigned in the music library window. That way I could see what playlist each piece was in as well as see if there are pieces that are not in any playlist. It would even be helpful if I could just click on an individual song to see what playlist, if any, I have it in. Is there a way to do either of these things? I hope so

    Using the Smart Playlist idea was a great help. It worked perfectly! Thank you very much for the suggestion. I really appreciate it. Now all of my music has been assigned to at least one Playlist. I always worry, though, that I may have accidentally dragged a song to the Playlist above or below it; or maybe I should have put it in different Playlist; or more than one Playlist. I guess I have a little OCD. Anyway, it would be nice just to be able to review all of the music information, including the playlists that are assigned, in the music list. It would be a lot easier with a lot less clicking. Thanks to your suggestion, though, I now know that all of the songs have been assigned to Playlists. Again, I appreciate your help. Thank you.
