Music won't correctly play on iPhone 5s

I generally don't have any music on my phone since I keep it all on my iPod but with my iCloud back up, a few songs did load on my phone and I'm having some issues.
1 -- if I don't have the music downloaded to my phone but rather it's playing directly from iCloud, the music skips...a lot. Ever listen to satellite radio and it will go in and out when it's trying to link or with bad weather? Yeah that's what I get. Not a huge deal because as I said, my music is mostly on my iPod but still it's annoying.
2 -- Say I have 5 songs on my iPhone and I want to play song 2. I click on song 2 and guess what? Song 1 starts playing. I have to select song 3 to get song 2 to play. Anyone else experience this? I haven't had the opportunity to connect my phone to iTunes yet to remove and re-add any of the music I want but I hope that fixes it.

I think this might help you:
I picked my iPhone 6 plus the day before Thanksgiving. I was dealing with the same problem, and becoming frustrated myself. After 1 hour and 40 minutes on the phone with Applecare, the Apple rep finally deduced that it was a software issue with the software installed on the phone initially. So, after restoring the phone to factory settings, we went into iTunes and restored the phone as a new phone…we did not simply back up from a previous back up. Then, I was able to start syncing music. It was a little painful because I had to go through the whole process of loading and organizing my apps into folders again, but a few hours of pain was worth being able to sync music again. Give it a shot if you're still having a problem with this.

My music won't sync with my iPhone (and several other problems)

My music has all disappeared from my iphone - the playlist names are still there, but the playlists are empty. and all my songs are in the library, but they all have the dowload from cloud button by them, but they arent on my actual phone. I'm not sure what the cause is because it could be a few different things... I got a new mac for christmas, so today was the first time I was using my new computer, and I also downloaded the new update on my phone today. After the update, my old apple id showed up, when I changed the email address on that id months ago. I deleted that account after reading some forums on here, and signed in with the current email and password for my apple ID. After that, the music wouldnt go on my phone. Also, it says I dont have room on the cloud, even though I do, and wont back up to icloud. I restored my phone and used my last updated back up (again, using advice from a different forum) to see if that would help, and it did not. Very frustrating because I have spent a LOT of money on music. Help?! Im trying to avoid an hour and 45 min drive to my nearest apple genius bar.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions. Are yu following those instructions?
Does the iTunes see the iPod? If not:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Some of my music won't download to my iphone.

I have 300 songs on my iTunes library and when I try to sync the music to my iPhone only 128 songs get synced onto it. Then this thing pops up and it says "error (-69)" And I made sure all the songs are checked and everything and I tryed restoring it a few times so I don't know what to do. I've never had problems downloading those songs either, like they were on my phone but now they won't download on it..

This is usually a bad file error:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684
Hard discs can go bad, and it's quite possible yours is failing and having issues with this. My advice is to restore those songs from your backup and try again (but also check out your hard drive completely with a utility to make sure there aren't other problems with it).

How do I sort music in iTunes when played from iPhone?

Okay, so I've been using my iPhone to basically carry music around and play it on different computers, right? Just turn on manual sync and then I can play music on iTunes straight from my music library without needing to have it in my computer's iTunes library. The problem is that all the music is out of order, and the column headers at the top that should be clickable to choose how you want the music to be sorted are all greyed out and unclickable. What I want is for my music to be sorted by Album Title followed by Track Number. Used to be that it was sorted by Artist then Track Number, which usually ended up okay as long as the album only had one artist. But recently, iTunes just completely arbitrarily changed itself to sorting by Song Title, which is screwing everything up. Since the sorting order can obviously be changed, how do I get iTunes to sort the music from my iPhone in a sensible fashion?

Music won't stop playing!!

So on occasion I'll go to a site that plays music in the background, but when I close the tab for that site, and even ALL open windows in Safari, the music continues to play!! So even with no windows open, music keeps playing. I can't even find the link to the site in my history now either. Ugh. But it has happened numerous times, especially with advertisements that play sounds/music. Does anybody know if I'm doing something wrong, or is it just a weird bug with scripts that continue executing in the background and thus making the music play?

Quit the game.
If it won't quit from the Dock icon by control clicking on it and selecting Quit, then go to Apple > Force Quit > select the game > then Force Quit.
If the game is opening when you start the Mac Mini, then go to: Apple > System Preferences > Accounts or Users (depending on the OS X) > select Login Items and remove it from the list of items the startup automatically.

The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.
Please shared to other that needed help

Non-purchased music won't go to my iPhone

This problem started two days ago, before that, I have never had this problem. I had a mix of purchased and non-purchased music on my iPhone 5c and two days ago, all of my non-purchased music got deleted. When I went to "On My Device" and clicked on the non-purchased songs, this came up.
I deleted all of the non-purchased songs, re-downloaded some of them, and tried to put them back on again. Midway through doing that, the same thing appeared next to all of the downloaded songs. I don't know what is causing this. I have only had my iPhone for a little over a month and this has never happened until now, all of my songs were playing perfectly fine. Is there any way that I can get my non-purchased songs to stay on my iPhone? When I try to put them back on, they stay on the iPhone for maybe 10 minutes and get deleted. The only music that remains is music that I have purchased from iTunes.

Someone please help!! Nothing is working. I even put the songs in my iTunes Media folder and tried to put them on my iPhone again but it still didn't work. Is there a solution to this problem?

My music won't sync to my iPhone 4s after it got completely erased and then my computer's hard drive crashed.

I was updating to iOS6 and I accidentally knocked out my USB hub when I was moving the printer cable. My iPhone cord, which was in the USB hub, obviously got disconnected. I found out the hard way that I had to format my phone, or it would just be a really expensive paperweight. I did.
A couple days later, I added all of my country music back onto my phone just so I had something to listen to. I listen to a wide variety of music, however, so that was just a small portion of my library. A week and one day after the operating system incident, I got the good ol blue screen. I'm used to them, even though my laptop was purchased in May 2011 and I shouldn't have to be used to them, so I just tried to fix it, to no avail. After running the Dell diagnostics, I was greeted with "Hey! You're hard drive is done!" in computer speak. Numerous expletives later, I booted my computer into safe mode and manually copied all of my files to my terabyte external hard drive.
I've got my computer back now and I copied my files back onto my computer. They're all in iTunes, but I can't click and drag them onto my phone. When I drag the songs, the icon has the number of songs and the circle with a slash through it. I'm not technically incompetent...so I'm thinking that Apple is so afraid that I'm going to steal the music I paid for that they're not allowing me to move it back to my phone. If someone were to prove me wrong and solve my problem, I'd actually be a really happy camper. So.....anyone?
Thanks!!!!!

I solved my own question. So for anyone else who has this problem, here's what to do.
1. Plug in your iPhone. Sync it with the computer.
2. Click on your phone in the sidebar and click on your phone's music tab on the top right.
3. Select that you'd like to sync music from this library.
4. Select what you want to sync. Yes, it will delete the current music off of the phone but if you've imported that into your new library, then you'll just put it right back on. Your phone currently thinks it's supposed to sync with the hard drive that doesn't exist, so that's the problem.
5. Press apply, then press sync (lower right).
6. It should sync everything....I hope....That's what it looks like it's doing.
7. Never accidentally unplug your phone during an update again.
8. Hope to whatever god you pray to that your hard drive doesn't crash again.
9. Enjoy your day

My music won't sync to my iPhone 5.

I don't want to put in all my music, I want the music I chose via my playlists. Anyone actually find a solution to this?

Are you unable to connect the device to itunes on your computer? And what type of computer are you using (mac, PC)?

IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

HT1386 Some of my music won't play on my iPhone

Shortly after upgrading to the latest OS (7.0.2), I've noticed some of my music won't play on my iPhone. I can see the songs but they have a red circle with a square inside it next to them and I can't do anything with them. I have plenty of space and there's not "downloading from the iCloud" option.
Problem 2...some other people are having this problem and recommend wiping the music off my phone and re-syncing via iTunes but when I plug my phone in (or sync via wi-fi, either one) to sync, it hangs up on "waiting for changes to apply" and never wipes the music. I've looked around at other complaints about this issue and none of the recommended "fixes" work.
I assume this is going to require an OS patch of some sort. What's the ETA on this and is there a way to get around it now?

I have this problem too but all the songs that wont play arent downloaded from the itunes store theyre from another site

A while ago I wanted to download/buy an album on my iPhone 4 but I didnt have enough space so I deleted some stuff and downloaded the album. well ever since then my other music won't play, only that one album will play and none of my other music will play

a while ago I wanted to buy an album but I didn't have enough space on my phone, (iPhone 4) so I deleted some things off my phone and downloaded the album. well ever since then all my other music won't play, only that one album will play. I thought it was because I havent been able to get the software update on my phone but I don't have enough space for that either. I deleted almost all my photos, all my apps, i deleted almost all the info that is on the apps that you can't delete, but it says I have too much music and I only have 45 songs!!!!!!!! and I don't want to delete them because that's what I'm trying to listen to but I can't because of whatever reason. PLEASE HELP!!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

My music won't play out loud on my iPhone 4S ?

My music won't play out loud on my iPhone 4S ?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or bad speaker or other hardware problem..
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
Any ideas?
And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi!
I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.
