Music quick access not working

Apologies if this has been raised before, I had a quick look and couldn't find it.
I have an iPhone 4s and updated (begrudgingly) to IOS6 at the weekend.
I frequently use my iPhone at work for music. From standby I normally double press the home button and it brings up the play/pause menu for my music, from there I can control the current playlist. This still comes up but doesn't work anymore. Similarly if I'm in the quick access menu at the bottom of my phone and scroll left I get access to the music controls, but again these are not working. The only way to play/pause my music is from within the music app.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with IOS6 or something I should investigate further?
Thanks,
Gillian.

I found a solution by accident, my phone battery died, when I charged it and turned it back on the quick access suddenly worked. The issue reoccurs every now and then, usually when I've rebooted my phone for whatever reason but another reboot always fixes it.
Hope this helps.
Gillian

Iphone 4s ios7 music player was not working, here's a bug fix.

hi there
i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone. so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help. hopin this will help some of you out there. and i already feed it back to Apple, so hopefully they will fix it soon.

Not sure why you are having problems. I have had no problems with my 4S playing music after the update. Hopefully you will get it worked out.

Just installed ios 7 on my 4s, and I have two issues: 1) control centre: the music controls do not work, only the volume adjust slider works; 2) in mail, where do you find the setting to control how many messages you want your inbox to retain?

Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.
Since this thread has two issues, I'm going to start a new one with only the music control bug. Topic: iOS 7 Control Center Music Controls Not Working On iPhone 4s

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

My iphone music speaker is not working what can i do?

my iphone music speaker is not working what can i do ?

Just to make sure, did you check the mute button on the side of the phone?
If it is not set, can you hear music if you're using the headphones?
If yes, listen to music using your headphones, then unplug and start the music again. If you toggle the volume up and down, can you see the volume slider moving?
Do you get any sound, for example when your phone is ringing?

Not really sur easy you would be having that problem. Mine works. You might try RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Then try again and see if it makes a difference

The music controls are not working after updating to iOS 7!

After updating, the main music app is working fine, but the music player accessed through the lockscreen and the menu you pull up by swiping upwards is not working properly!!!!! The fastforward, rewind and play/pause buttons aren't responding at all! Volume and the pace bar works though...Please help!!!

I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

I didn't had any problem like that. You should --
1)Copy all your songs, pics, vids from your memory card to your computer.Then
2)Format your memory card through your computer by right click--format. Do not check the option "Quick Format".Then
3)Insert the memory card in your phone and format it by the phone.Then
4)Download any video converterfrom here-- http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php and install it in your pc.Then
5)Convert all your music files to .aac format.Remember convert all the music files to .aac format.Then
6)Convert all your videos to .mp4 format.Then
7)Copy all the stuff(music,videos..etc)into your memory card.Then
8)Unplug the data cable of phone and restart.Then
9)Go to Music and Refresh your Library.
I hope it works.

Illustractor CC quick keys not working

I installed Adobe Illustrator CC over the weekend and all of my quick keys do not work. I've tried restarting the computer and not having Firefox or any browser running. Is there a fix to this problem? The quick keys I'm referring to would be (V) to access the Selection Tool or (P) for the Pen Tool etc. None of them are working. It's very frustrating and drastically slowing me down. Would it help or fix if I uninstalled and then reinstalled? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Chad

You can try to download the newest EC firmware of your laptop from MSI website.

HT5595 Lock screen and Bluetooth Music controls do not work

Immediately after installing IOS 7 (on about 9/19), I noticed that the lock-screen access to Music was not working. I could change the volume and timepoint of a song that was already playing, but the play/pause, forward and rewind buttons did not work. Some posters suggested that a restore would fix the problem, so I restored and am now at 7.0 (11A465). After the restore, the controls worked for a day or two, but stopped working again. And I've noticed that the same functions are not working with Bluetooth in my car.
BTW: the restore did not preserve the set of downloaded e-mail. Those messages are gone, so far as I can tell.

Mine work. Depending on the app being used, it may take several seconds for the play button to work. After that initial delay, you should be good to go.

Quick Print not working after upgrading to Reader XI on Citrix

Hi,
I've upgraded from Reader 9.2 to 11.0 on our Citrix farm.
After the upgrade the Quick Print function in Outlook 2010 is not working anymore for PDF files. (other files are working fine)
Also, the RightClick --> Print on PDF files in Windows Explorer gives an open-with prompt. (other files are working fine)
Even if I choose Adobe Reader and chech the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", the open-with prompt re-appears the next time I rightclick and choose print.
If I DoubleClick PDF files in Windows Explorer or in Outlook e-mail attachments, Reader opens as it should.
I've also tried to install the latest 11.4 update, without any luck.
The same installation sources were used on several local workstation, where everything is working fine after the upgrade.

It's definitely a Lion's issue as I rolled back to Snow Leopard after struggling with the card reader and surprise....all my cards can be seen again and my MacBook early 2010 works perfectly. Just as it was working before I purchased Lion. What to do? Well I guess there is only one way to fix the problem. We should demand from Apple to debug Lion from this and many other errors in the code. Overall I am not very impressed with my first Lion encounter and will stay on Snow Leopard untill people would be able at least to use the MacBook hardware properly under any Lion built. I have also had so many other issues with Lion that it may take a few hours to list and it's not a purpose of my visit of this thread. Cheers to all and stay cool.

Hyperlink to a music file does not work, Am I doing it incorrectly?

Hello there. I am a composer, trying to add all my music samples to the website. I created a title of one of the music samples, then hyperlinked it to that corresponding music file (mp3), so, when you click on that title, it links it to THAT music file. But, it does not work when I click on the link. If I assign the link to another page for example, the link works. What am I doing wrong here. Or is this not possible? I would hate to have a whole list of music files on one page, especially with that "add image here" box on every one of them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The file has to be uploaded to your server and then linked to as an external page using the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane with the option to open in a new window.
You'll get the same effect as with the music example in this demo page but with a full sized window instead of a smaller one: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
This method would let you add the links to all of your songs to one page. Or you could use a music jutebox for those songs like Roddy has on his iWeb for Musicians site:
Jukebox Alive
Juke It Jukebox
This would reduce your site size considerably. But all these methods require you to upload the audio files to the server and link to them there.

No volume or music - home button not working. Please help!

So, this problem just started today, COMPLETELY out of the blue. I don't think I touched or did anything, I simply picked my iPod up and for some reason I couldn't hear sound and on my music, there was no volume bar. I could not adjust volume or hear anything. Also, my home button did not work, no matter how times I pressed it. Only some minutes later would it kick in and keep sending me either to my home page or to the search page. For some reason it went back to normal for a few minutes, and now it's like that again. I've tried turning it off and on a few times now. Can anyone help me fix this?

I don't think I've updated mine for a while. It just spontaneously happened. Now my home button actually works, but no volume bar or sound still. It's frustrating, and I really don't want to fully restore my iPod, but I may have to.
