Music & Video App Bugs in iOS 8

Probably mentioned before but it looks like the Music and Video Apps are suffering from a few bugs. These issues are identical on my iPhone 5s and my iPad Air after updating to iOS8.
Album art that previously appeared in front of a Playlist's title in the Music App has disappeared.
I'm seeing the same band listed twice in the Music App, under 'A' for the bands name and under 'T' for "the". The 'T' is following directly after the 'A', making it weirder.
In the Video App, some TV Show titles, and all Music Videos have lost their album art work. Oddly, the Movie titles seem unaffected.

This isn't a Music app issue, per se, but it is related, so I'll put it here.
On my iPhone 5s, the volume control on the lock screen is now very close to the transport control buttons, so much so that it can be almost impossible to adjust the volume without activating one of the transport buttons instead. This is especially frustrating when listening to iTunes Radio as I will frequently activate the Skip button, which not only skips the song, of course, but inadvertently reduces my skip count. Since nothing else seems to have changed in the lock screen's layout, this repositioning makes no sense.

Youtube Music Videos Not Available on iOS?

Hello,
I have an iPad and an iPhone, and none of the VEVO youtube videos or music videos in general can be played on the youtube app. It will say that this movie could not be played. Also, if you try to watch them through the browser version of youtube through safari, it tells me that I need flash (yeah I know) but if I play any other youtube video on desktop youtube it won't tell me about flash, and will just play. It seems like any youtube video with music cannot be played on iOS. Is youtube deliberately blocking music videos from iphones and ipads, or is this apple wanting you to pay money in itunes, or is it a glitch on my end?
Thanks

You can convert them to mp3 or iphone formay through a program called free studio manager

Why does my Ipod touch Music/Video apps crash after update to OS4

Updated Ipod touch (64GB) yesterday to OS4. Today I cant run the Music or the Video apps. They will LOAD, but after 3 seconds, the crash. Any ideas?
Ive tried to do the reboot thing (DFU??) that I saw in another post but same issue.
Tried a search several times but have not seen any posts so far with this particular issue.

I'm having the same issue as well, I'm currently at work so as of right now I can't try to restore mine, but the strange thing with mine is that I updated mine the day the iOS 4.0 came out and had no problems until last night. Now the music and video sections keep crashing after just a few seconds. Also all my Podcast are gone, the only things missing and I even re-downloaded them last night and they're still gone.

Where did the AirPlay button in the video app go in iOS 8?

I Used the quick AirPlay button in the video app quite often. I just upgraded to iOS 8. I noticed that it is gone. Am I missing it anywhere? Why would this be removed?

No don't bother restarting anything, like me I know my hardware is working fine but it was something to to with the iOS 8 update.
I fixed my iPhone 5 by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. I will warn you now that as far as I know it will wipe every stored WiFi network you've ever connected to so you will have to enter them in all again but that doesn't bother me.
I'm sure the good people at Apple are already working on a fix so you could always wait.

Music video app?

Hi i plug my iphone into my car everytime i get in it and i get video on all my monitors like if i watch a movie, but my question is can someone make an app that would play continous music videos like mtv on tv but on the iphone. (yea i know its a little confusing but i think you will get it) this would be cool because i would get music and video and it would look pretty sweet.

There is an app that already does this. It's the iPod app. You need to have the vids in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to your iPhone. You should be able to have a playlist of the music videos that you can then shuffle.
I am a bit confused why you have videos going in your car. Shouldn't you be focusing on driving?

SOLVED - Weather App Doesn't Update Live Tile, Xbox (Games, Music, Video) App stuck at "Signing In" Help?

I'm running Windows 8 Pro (RTM -> TechNet). Everything seemed OK the first day of use. Now onto the next day, I can't "Sign In" to any of the Xbox Apps and the Bing Weather app doesn't update its Live Tile with local weather. Other tiles/apps like Finance
appear to be fine.

I am able to sign-in to the SkyDrive App without issue, and the Store App works fine as well. I have tried uninstalling Games, Music, and Video apps and reinstalling to correct the issue, no dice.
My Microsoft Account still signs into this site, my regular Xbox, iPad Xbox App, and Windows Phone just fine. What is up with Windows 8? Thanks in advance.

It appears to end up having been a time sync issue. I must have only been off a couple of seconds?!? I decided to try Armed! and it reported a difference in Time when creating my profile for the game and I was like.. hmmm. So I went ahead and hit Internet
Time settings (under Date and Time in Control Panel) and did a Update Now with time.windows.com. I am now able to login on all the apps I was having issues with before where it was stuck at "Signing In".

How do I retrieve all of my music, videos, apps, and pictures that were lost after I updated to the new iOs 5 thing

tech support sent me here and I need to figure this out

Some of those are part of the backup, for example photos, app data and settings and much more:
iTunes: About iOS backups
If you still have the backup from the time before you updated, use it to restore from.
Download the apps again for free before you start, apps are not part of the backup data made by iTunes.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Those apps should also be part of your iTunes library on the computer you usually sync to.

Looking for a music video app.

I'm looking for an app that will let me record one long video (where I'm miming to an entire song in time) then allow me to replace parts of it with other short videos and stills, not changing the timing of the long video. Does iMovie have this facility or does anyone know of other apps that do?

IMovie iOS is not able to edit different video over different video.
But this only applies to audio recorded with video.
So you could lay down the music track you are lip syncing to, then add your video over the top.
But you are unable to lay a second layer of video over the top of the first.
So iMovie iOS is not the app you are looking for.
This forum is specifically for iMovie iOS so I can't recommend any other app sorry.

Can 2 apple ids share the same library..ie music, videos,apps ect

I have an apple id and my wife would like to get her own as well, but we would like to share the same library, music, apps, books, ect. We are trying to avoid paying twice for same items but want our own id for ichat and personnel devices. Is this possible and if so how can I do this?

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

Can't sync music, videos, apps with homeshare?

We have a simple PC computer. My father has the IPhone 3g, I recently got the IPhone 4 for my birthday in august. Both my mom and my sister has the IPod touch (3rd and 4th generation i think). And whenever I try to put a new song or movie or a app from the main computer, it will not sync to my phone due to homeshare. Itunes says that I have to "deauthorize" my account in order to put a new song/video/etc on my phone due to having 5 computers on homeshare. But the thing is we're confused because My father and I don't think we have 5 computers on homeshare. If I try to authorize my phone to a different computer, it erases all my apps and my songs on my phone. My father is thinking about deauthorizing one of the accounts on our computers, but he is afraid that all of our music, apps, videos, etc in our libary would be erased. Does other people have this kind of problem or a solution towards this problem?

Hi Jim,
Yes, I guess that's the only option I have. That or manage the music without Match. What I on Earth can't understand is that I'm not able to sync the videos manually, as long as Match is turned on. It seems a tad too locked up in my opinion…
Cheers,
Massimo

Contacts tab under Phone app bug in iOS 8.2

Hi everyone,
I heard this bug /error in the early releases of iOS 8.x and faced it personally in 8.2. When you go contacts tab in "Phone" app -this is important because this issue is only in the contacts tab under the Phone app. It doesn't happen in Contacts app itself or an third part app like WhatsApp. As I said only under the Phone app's contacts tab- and type a common name or surname in your contacts ,for example "Kartal" in my case, the app searches this word in your contact list and gives you result. The problem starts here: When you want the select the last result from the search -of course results must over flow the screen- and you scroll your finger down to last result it comes out of the screen when you pull your finger from the screen. Does anyone noticed this and has a solution for it? (I guess this can only be solved by an update)
I may get you confused with my language sorry for that : )
Ali.

I think I see what you are saying - you cannot get to the last results of the search. Yes, it appears to be a bug. Please report it to http://www.apple.com/feedback as we are all just users here and cannot do anything about it. Thanks.

Calender app bug on iOS 8

Dear Sir or Madam,
I found a bug on the calender app of iOS 8 regarding the all-day event bug. I'm apologize for my bad english but i try to explain the bug.
1) Open the calendar app
2) Push on '+' to create a new event
3) Push on 'starts' and set e.g. 15 March 2015
4) Push on 'all-day', (turn 'all day' on)
5) Now you have to see/ now it shows: starts: 15 March 2015 and ends: 15 March 2015
6) Set a name and push 'done'
What you expect now is that you create an event which starts on the 15 March 2015 and ends on the 15 March 2015.
But in reality your iphone creates an event for 14 Match 2015 untill 15 March 2015.

Syncing music/videos/apps that are already on my ipod touch

Whenever I sync my ipod with iTunes on my mac, any songs, videos, or apps that are different in any way whatsoever or automatically resynced to my ipod. This is fine for apps, as the only way this would happen is if there is in app update. However, for songs and videos, when the only change is the number of plays (the song has been played on my mac or my ipod since the last sync), iTunes copies all of those songs and videos again, even though they are already on the ipod. Perhaps it's not really copying, but rather syncing the number of plays, but it takes just as long. And after all that is finally done, it syncs the genius data for all 5000+ songs on my ipod. This is another 20-30 minute process. The genius playlists are nice and all, but they're not that nice. This has been bothering my for some time. Is there something wrong here, or is there a way to turn off this functionality? I know you can turn off the genius option.
My ipod touch is a 3rd gen and I'm syncing via USB 2.0, not wifi.
Thanks for the help.
Matt

connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

Possible Bug in iOS 8 via Streaming iTunes Video results in lost storage space?

Hi looking for suggestions or help on this issue if you can.
I'm not sure if the issue is my attempting to stream a movie from iTunes under iOS 8 or if it is a result of the iOS 8 update (size) itself or some type of memory leak or inability of memory to be released back to the OS.
This AM I had ~4.8GB of free space on my 16GB iPhone 5C; running under iOS 7. I then updated to iOS 8 by connecting the phone to my iMac and doing the install through iTunes under a USB wired connection. I however I did NOT check after the update how much space was "Available" after the update on the iPhone itself.
While streaming a long movie (LOTR extended) from the iCloud through the Apple Video app; now under iOS 8, I received a notification that my Storage space was nearly used up. While looking in Settings\Usage\Storage I can see that I had roughly 250MB of space "Available" but only 12.7GB was "USED." Here is were things get strange. Looking into the "Manage Storage" section I added up all of the space "used" by the apps listed (Video app was NOT listed) and came up with a sum of 6GB of used space. Now why is that? The listed 12.7GB of used space is not equal to 6GB what is using up the remaining 6.7GB?
Now my research of the web suggests iOS 7 was ~3.5GB in size and my best GUESS at iOS 8 is that it is a16GB - 12.7GB = 3.3GB; although I thought iOS 8 was going to use up more space? For the sake of argument lets say iOS 8 is 5.8GB and my calculated Used Space it 6GB, that equals 11.8GB. Where are the remaining 4.2GB?
Keep in mind I added No new apps (albeit a few updates to FindMyFrieds, Remote, Pages, AirPort Utility, FindMyiPhone all to be iOS 8 compatable). I also force quit the VIDEO app thinking that the video that was streaming was taking up local storage while it was playing. Is it possible that the memory was used up by the stream and is not being Released; hence it seems I have no available space?
Powering the phone down and re-starting it did not seem to do anything.
I still need to go home, connect to iTunes and double check if the available space on the phone matches to what iTunes see.
Thanks and sorry for the long question, just wanted to get as many variables out there in case anyone else has had this issue.

searching.4.answers . . . sounds like you too were able to "inform" your device that the content is no longer needed, great. I posted a solution that later didn't work for me when I streamed another video (see my post dated Nov 1 - cjdmedia). I then had great success using what others in this forum have suggested . . . I downloaded the free ibrowse app (do a quick google search for this and you'll find the website for it). Sure enough it was a piece of cake to navigate to the iCloud assets folder and find and delete the video file. That is my solution from now on. Unfortunate that I need to do that to have my storage space clear.
Also in my post I shared that I thought this was a bug, unfortunately I now believe that this could be intended behavior. The only question is how long does this data just sit there until it is removed by the system? or is it removed by the system? If it is not removed by the system at some point then a strong argument could be made that this is a bug. Streaming means that data is not permenantly saved on the device, right?
My fundamental issue is that I have 16GB storage that really means I have a total of 12.8GB (so says my iPhone). With no personal photos or videos, only 300MB of music, some books etc, and all the apps I want installed on my iPhone I end up with only 9GB available for anything else. A typical movie in HD takes up half of that. Not aware that the data of movies was being stored on my phone while streaming I completely filled up my iPhone only days after completely wiping and setting up. When I got the notification that my phone was full when trying to take video of my kids Trick-or-Treating - I was infuriated that something was hogging the memory in my phone, perhaps I had upgraded to iOS 8 too early before known issues were eliminated. I thought I had 9GB of space for pictures and video! To be fair, Apple did not ruin Halloween because my wife had her iPhone. I also know that this "issue" has been around since iOS 7 (based on my searching) and I haven't seen any confirmation it has ever been dealt with. From another apple discussion forum stream itunes purchased movies to iPad I discovered that if your device is almost full you can still "stream" because somehow the system knows how much space you have and then behaves more like what you'd expect from streaming which is interesting.
So to wrap this long post . . . it is obvious that to stream there needs to be data stored locally, but it is unclear how much data and how long this data will stay on your device. The quickest solution (requires a computer) is to use the iBrowse app and manually delete the movie files in the iCloud assets folder.
