Music not playing in ios 7

Hi -
When I press "play" to start a song, the song stays at 0:00. If I try and move the slider to the middle of the song, it simply slides back down to zero. Tones and alarms play as they should and I've updated all apps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jeff

Howdy TXwildcard,
I'd suggest disabling music sync (removing the music should your device be in 'manual mode'), syncing, then reenabling music syncing (readding the music in the case of manual mode).

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.

  • ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Mp4 not playing on iOS

    Hi,
    Can you clarify why the optical flare mp4. at the start of my animation will not play on iOS please?
    It is working fine here on Chrome http://nyresolution.ie/
    var video = sym.$("myVideo");
    $(video).html('<video width="1920" height="1080" autoplay><source src="assets/opticals.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>');
    Many thanks,
    Kim

    IOS does not support autoplay for audio or video.

  • Music Not Played Recently

    In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
    This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
    "Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
    There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
    In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
    Question is:
    Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
    If not, why not?
    If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

    anyone?

  • Apple Music App not playing audio iOS 5

    I updgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.0.1 and now my Music App isn't playing any of my songs. I can open the App and navigate fine, but when I press play it doesn't. I tried force quitting the app and even restarted the iPhone, but that still did not fix the issue.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    My music is now playing agian, but the issue still exists let me explain.
    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S.
    I then restored my iPhone 4S with an iPhone 4 backup.I did this to get all my previous data etc..
    The music from that backup did not "play"
    I then synced new music to my iPhone 4S after reading "Radar103" comment.
    Even though I synced new music it did not remove previous songs already on my iPhone.
    All new songs play just fine except for music from original backup.
    Here's the kicker. When I view my iPhone 4S music using iTunes I DO NOT see the songs from original backup. This is weird because when I navigate on my iPhone I can still select them.
    I really don't want to restore my iPhone to start from scratch. Any suggestions?
    My next step will be to call AppleCare.

  • Why will music not play on my iPhone?

    None of my music is playing on iTunes from my phone.  It works on my computer, but only about 4 songs will play on my phone.  I have tried restarting my phone and syncing it to the computer and the music will still not work.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My problem was that the voice tracks on my iTunes files AND TuneIn Radio were at extremely low volume, while the background tracks were OK. Raising the volume to max made the voice tracks barely audible, but then the rest was garbled. This was the first time I played music since upgrading to iOS 6 (iPhone 4 (CDMA)). Just to do something, I went to Settings/Music and toggled a few of the ON-OFF settings, e.g., Volume Limit, EQ, etc. When I went back to play music, all was well. IN ADDITION, the sound quality and R-L separation seem much improved. I suspect a reset would have accomplished the same.(?)
    I have not seen any reports of any iOS 6 changes in audio decoding, but it seems like there are.
    Anybody have a clue?

  • Music not playing in iTunes after iOS5/Itunes 10.5 updates.

    Hi,
    I recently updated both my iTunes to 10.5 and iPod touch 4g to iOS 5.  I updated on my laptop (which i am on now, and have the issue with).  The laptop is running 10.6.8, and has no music on the hard drive.  I plug my iPod into the laptop to use the lap top speakers and play the music through itunes.  I have never had a problem since updating.  Now half of my music is not playing from the computer, however it plays fine directly from the iPod speakers.  When I updated I erased all music on the iPod and started over.  Any ideas on what the problem is here?

  • Music not playing back correctly

    For some reason, Itunes began playing back incorrectly.  The music is fine but the vocals sound like they are in a hole.  Not sure why.  Did this before and I do not recall how I got it back to playing normal.  Help plz!

    Every since the iOS 5 update, my music does not play correctly on my iPhone 4. I have tried all the fixes I have found, except to delete all my music from iTunes as well as my iPhone, and reimporting it all...are they kidding? I have thousands of songs from various sources, so that is not going to happen. When I heard about iOS 5.1, I hoped it would correct the issue, which it did, for about an hour or so. I will just cease to use my multitasking smart phone to play music and revert to my oldschool music player. I pause in wondering whether or not I should hold my breath on Apple coming to the rescue for its dedicated users. Oh yeah, some of the songs that do not play correctly or at all were purchased from iTunes on my iPhone 4, so this issue is not just related to songs imported from CDs.

  • Music not playing in music app on IPAD 2

    My iPad 2 is just not playing music in the music app. I can click play, it says it is playing but the bar doesnt move to indicate playback and there is no sound. I've tried closing the app and restarting the device.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    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 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."
    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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

    Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

    I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

  • Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

    i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
    now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
    what did i do wrong.

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Music not playing smoothly in iTunes

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and ever since then my music has been jerking and not playing smoothly. I've checked my computer's performance while iTunes and other applications have been open and all seems normal. I've run the setup file again and chosen "Repair", but nothing has changed.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This version of iTunes 12.1:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.

  • Help! Music not "playing" in Itunes

    So I updated to the newest version of iTunes (7.3.2) today and upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.1.
    Now, any music in my iTunes library will not play. The top of the screen shows the song title and artists name/album, and the run time...but nothing happens. I hit play...nothing. I try clicking randomly along the track...nothing. My volume is up (I can load up Youtube and listen with no issues. As many times as I hit Play/Pause, it never moves. My Apple TV works fine as does my iPhone. Anyone know why?

    Searched and found the answer...for those curious...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1178079&tstart=0
    Finally, someone figured it out!
    Basically,
    Start Menu>Control Panel>(at this point, I just typed "Quicktime" into the search menu)QuickTime, then click the Audio tab and in that tab, the "Select Audio Playback and Recording Devices" button. A small window popped up and said some sort of driver enhancement was causing problems, would I like to stop it? Click Yes.
    Try iTunes again--mine finally works now!
