My ipad2 won't play my music with ios6

My music won't play on my ipad2 since I upgraded to iOS6. The music library shows all my songs, but they are "grayed-out" and cannot be selected to play,
How do I fix this?

Try using iTunes on your computer to remove all your music (unselect sync music and then sync) and then re-sync all your music back.

IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes Store

My iPod won't play purchased songs from the iTunes Store. They play on my computer, using iTunes, through the iPod, but my iPod won't play the songs with headphones, or in my BOSE speaker station, nor in my car using my Belker radio adapter. I've purchased a few songs before, and haven't had this problem. I wasn't prompted, as I have been before, to enter in a password before playing the songs.

i have the same problem, and i looks like there are another 4 or 5 discussion threads with the same prob. my ipod is about 14months old, got one of the first 4th generations when they came out -- have never had a problem, then when i downloaded itunes 6, all of a sudden everything i have purchased since then plays fine on my computer and just keeps scrolling thru and not playing on my ipod. very very frustrating. i have tried everything, right down to a complete restore on it, and nothing helps. also, when i downloaded itunes6, my purchased music playlist disapeared -- i spent 2 weeks and 5 emails going back and forth with tech support because they wouldn't address the issue, and am wary of going to them with this one. i thought the drive or memory on the ipod was corrupted and was going to buy another one, but now i'm not so sure -- is anyone having this issue with a 5th generation? because what it looks like is itunes 6 downloads may not be compatible with 4th G, and that makes me a little cranky. any one find a solution for this yet?

I have an apple certified refurbished iPod touch 3rd generatio. When playing the music with headphones, the music moves from song to song. When it is on a docking station, it repeats the song. Any ideas why or how to fix it?

I upgraded to the latest iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now it won't play any music. I can do everything else, except play music. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas?

i had this problem and finally figured it out. all that you need to do is go to your start menu and click on computer. select your main drive, (local drive) c usually. Next open the users file follow by your user name file, which is just like it sound it is a file labled as whatever your name is as you have it on your computer. Then you open up the AppData file. Next open the Roaming file. After that open the Apple Computer file followed by the iTunes file. Now you should see the folder labled iTunes Plug-ins folder. Now just Delete that folder. After that go to your iTunes and play your music.
If for some reason you don't see the AppData file you need to go to the upper left of your screen on select organize. a drop down menu will appear and you need to select folder and searc options. a small folder options window will appear. in this window you need to select the view tab. you need to select the show hidden files, folders, and drives bubble. now hit apply and then ok. that will allow the AppData folder to be seen.

I know it's a little late but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play my music. It will play spotify and YouTube music but not my music. Everything else works fine but when I go to play a song it just skips to the next. Why

My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

Hi,
Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
Kind Regards,
Ward

So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes. I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've oreviously purchased. What do I do?

I just bought a macbookpro. And trying to sync my iCloud music to my iTunes. I've already "authorized" this computer to my iCloud account but It still won't play my music that I've previously purchased. I know this isn't a matter of having tI many devices on one account because I only have my phone and now this laptop on it. What do I do?

My iPad mini won't play my music either and I have tried all the suggestions on the forum. I have no problem with my music on my full size iPad or my MacBook.

My iPad mini won't play my synced music. I have tried all the suggestions on the forum, but it still does not work. Also it crashes on the selected song selected. I have never had a problem with my other iPad or MacBook.

What exactly have you tried?
"All the suggestions on the forum" doesn't really mean anything. It would be pointless for us to suggest something that you have already tried.

Iphone won't play purchased music

Songs ripped from cds play fine, even songs purchased from the iphone play fine. But songs purchased on my mac now won't play on the iphone. I have been away from home for a couple of weeks, so no sync recently. The music stops, the pause button changes to a play button, and pressing play doesn't work; the pause button quickly shifts back to play button. Thanks for any help.

If you have all music that was purchased from the iTunes store in one playlist and you are syncing selected playlists, deselect this playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync to remove all music that was purchased from the iTunes store from your iPhone. Follow this by reselecting the playlist followed by a sync to re-transfer the music to your iPhone to see if this makes any difference.
If you don't have a single playlist or multiple playlists for all music that was purchased from the iTunes store to deselect and reselect, deselect Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync which will remove all music from your iPhone. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music and selecting the playlists, artists, or genres you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

My friend's iPhone won't play my music I bought from the iTunes Store.

My friend has an iPhone 5 with music from his laptop. His laptop is authorized to play music I purchase from the iTunes store, but for some reason his phone won't play those songs. Can somebody explain why, and help me get his iPhone to play those songs? Thanks.

Try this...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Nano scrambles album pics and won't play vids music or pics nothing works

i bought this ipod brand new about a month ago from apple. It has messed up three times since. What happens is that it just stops working. I can't view any pics, video or listen to music. my cover flow turns each album cover to rondom colors all scrambled up. At the main menue when i go over pics, music or video it shows me the picture. but it won't play anything. When i reset it and put everything back on it it works......for a week or two. I think i will return it but if there is anything i could otherwise do please say so
thanks!!!!!!!!

It just happened to me the same! I bought it two weeks ago and this is the first time i have a problem with it. I was listening to music and suddenly the sound stopped and i wasn't able to see any of the pics, videos... anything. The menu and everything else seemed to work though.
I reset it and now it's working perfectly again but i don't know for how long.

IPod nano 6th gen won't play my music.

My iPod nano 6th gen has worked fine for years and when I synced it recently it would play some tunes fine, cut some off mid-way through and skip some completely. The first thing I done was just tried to sync it again but this didn't make a difference so I reset my iPod through iTunes and synced it again but this made it worse, when I pressed play it comes up with the pause button but if I go to the next screen where you can see how far through the song is the bar wasn't moving, so the tunes aren't playing, so following this I formatted my iPod on my pc and then reset it on iTunes (I had to replace the folders I had removed during formatting) and that didn't do anything it still won't play anything. It's not my headphones as they work fine in my pc, and it's not my music as it worked fine before and they all play fine on my pc. What else can I do?

What do you mean by select tracks? It will only play particular tracks or repeatedly play a particular track? What format are these problem tracks in?

Front Row Won't Play Slideshow Music (iTunes)

I created a slideshow in iPhoto and selected an iTunes playlist as my music source. When I play the slideshow from Front Row the music does not play. However, if I play a photo event from Front Row the default music does play. Why won't my slideshow play the music?
Please advise.

Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x has been broken the whole time. It used to work fine in Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger). Front Row will not play an iTunes playlist during a slideshow if the playlist contains more than one song. You can use a playlist that only has one song in it, but then you might as well just choose a single song instead of a playlist! I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
For what it's worth, iPhoto seems to work fine with slideshows and iTunes playlists with more than one song.

Installed 6.05 upgraded no problem w/windows; BUT, won't play old music

Well, when I opened iTunes yesterday, I was asked if I wanted to upgrade so, like everyone else, I said 'yes'. the upgrade installed just fine (didn't lock up windows and I can still open iTunes)...however, it won't play my older iTunes downloads.
I've gotten the login screen to authorize each song. Not a problem; I figure that's normal. I enter my password and get the "Authorization successful!" message. WELL....the song still doesn't play. When I click play (I figure that at least it's authorized) -- I get the authorization login screen again!
Now I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (I've tried both the old version and the new version) -- even disabled McAfee (all components) -- but I get the same issue.
I don't get a file error; I just keep getting prompted to authorize then authorization successful; but no music.
Oh, I also deauthorized and reauthorized my computer: still nothing!
Help!!
Rob

hmmmmm. it's plausible that this is to do with a problem with the itunes configuration file. that's where the authorisation information is stored.
let's try seeing if rebuilding that file helps with the problem. for the technique, see the following document. (it's about a different error, but the technique is applicable to these sorts of things.)
