My music app wont bring up music

When I try to access the factory installed music app at the bottom of the touch, i hit it, it opens just a blank white screen, after 10 seconds or so it just goes back to the main itouch menu.
I have not been able to access musis for about a week. Any suggestions?

Hi Kat713,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Music app on your iPhone quits unexpectedly when you launch it, first restart the phone. If the behavior persists, reset the phone next:
Restarting your device
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 device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the article with these steps here:

If the issue persists after resetting the phone, I recommend backing up and restoring your iPhone:

How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app with effecting icloud music?

My music was taking up too much space so I joined itunes match, but the 6 gigs of my music is still on my ipad. How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app without affecting icloud music? I clicked to replace all music with icloud music. They both appear in Music and I don't see anywhere to remove all downloaded music. If I delete all music, I fear it will delete all music in iCloud. I assumed by joining iTunes Match that I would get the 6 gigs back for other items since my music should be on iCloud now. If that is not the case then I need to get my $ back for Match.

Removing music from an iOS device does not remove it from the cloud.
Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.

hi people I just upgraded my iphone5 last night to ios8 everything went smooth until today when I tried my music apps and none of them work? Any help welcome guys you how much you need music on the iphone Cheers

Hey there Steamboat14,
It sounds like you are unable to use 3rd party music apps on your phone after you udpated to iOS 8. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article for each app affected in this way, named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.Contact the developer
If you see the issue again, contact the developer of the app for help:
Find the app in the App Store.
Tap the app and tap Reviews.
Tap App Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

On my iPad Mini (2013), How can I make it so, only my downloaded music is shown in the Music app, and not old music I haven't downloaded/ don't want on my iPad?

When I enter the music app, I just want to listen to the music that I've downloaded onto my device, not old music I don't want, but is still shown for streaming. Any help/ideas? I don't want to have to go offline just to listen to the music I want to listen to everytime

Why would you have to go offline to listen to music? Dosn't make sense.
However, you can set the app up to just show you tracks that are actually on the device: Settings app > Music > Show All Muisc [turn OFF]

Can't delete iTunes Match music from Music app in iOS 6 Music app?!

Totally insane - the ability to delete music downloaded from iTunes match has been removed from the iOS 6 Music app! No more "swipe left and delete". I can't find any way to delete music, in fact. Can someone please tell me this is a massive mistake that will quickly be fixed. How did this make it through to the final release?!

The topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum.
Apple change the way iTM works in iOS 6 to no longer allow downloading or deleting of individual tracks with iTunes Match enabled. To delete individual tracks iTM must first be disabled; to delete all downloaded music from the iOS device go to settings > general > usage, tap Music then swipe All Music and tap delete.

In music apps, i open to music but it will not move back to choice playlisrt artist etc

when i open music app i cannot chang album playing. In otherwords, there is no way to show (playlist artist songs albums) it seems to be stuck on the one album. thanks for any help in advance!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

Music app not playing my music at all!

After updating to ios5 my music app is not working. I have two iPads, one 64gb wifi and one 32gb 3G. One has 40 gb of music and the other has 20gb music. When I attempt to play the music it keeps jumping randomly to different songs. None of the songs actually play. I have removed the music from the iPads and reloaded them several times and I have factory rest the iPads and reloaded ios5. None of this fixed the issue. Additionally there is a portion of my storage space on each iPad called other and it is way too big, taking up about 25% of my storage space. Further, the sync to reload the music is taking about 24 hours. I have tries to sync wireless as well as wired. I sync to a MacBook pro 2009 with lion 10.7.2 and latest iTunes.

I seem to be having the exact same problem after upgrading to IOS5 on my iPad 2 64GB 3G. I'm syncing against a Win 7 64-bit system with all the latest patches, and the latest iTunes. I also noticed the strange use in 'Other' after finally getting the upgrade to work.
I haven't tried to factory reset and reinstall yet, since it took me about 4 hours to get the upgrade to complete last night. I had about a dozen failures during the upgrade process, then 2-3 failures while it was trying to restore all the apps/music/etc.

Is it possible to add music from the music downloader app to the original music app?

I have a bunch of music downloaded on the music downloader app, and i want to play it on the airmusic app, but the airmusic app only shows music from the original music app, and not the music downloader. Is there any way to move my music from the music downloader app to the original music app so it can be played? Sorry if this is confusing to read

I understand what you are trying to do. It's a somewhat complicated process, but here's how it goes:
-Connect your iPod to iTunes and select it in the sidebar. Select "Apps" along the top and scroll down to File Sharing.
-Click on your music downloading app in the apps column. All the music you've downloaded using your music downloading app is downloaded as documents under the app. Select the music files you want, and use the "Save to..." button to save the files to somewhere on your computer (just temporarily), say, Downloads.
-Open Downloads and drag all the newly saved music files into iTunes.
-When the music files finish copying into iTunes, sync your iPod and you should be ready to go.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS. iTunes Match is on. Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed. Just happened when updating iTunes Match. Solutons?

I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory. I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone. Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed. This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6. It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes. Ideas?

Hi Moonage Daydreamer01,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues on your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with iTunes Match, you may find the information and troublehshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Music app scrambled

My music app has been getting scrambled after playing for 40 minutes or so. Music just stops mid-song, then songs start skipping around and playing a few seconds of each, when I press pause or close and reopen app, it continues to play random songs (just a few seconds) skipping around. Stopping the app doesn't work, songs start playing again suddenly and jumping around - without pushing play. Songs also speed up really fast while playing and what's being played doesn't match the song displayed. They also suddenly stop and start, while not pushing anything. After not using app for some time (check problem again next day) app plays fine, initially. This has occurred three times recently and I can't fix the problem once it starts acting funny, just have to stop listening to music. I don't want to lose my whole library of songs by resetting phone, is there a fix to keep library and playlists? Also, voice control seems to randomly initiate before or during the music app malfunction, without me touching phone.

I'm having same problem.
First of all when downloading from cloud and deciding to delete some tracks I found I couldn't.
Did a wipe of all data in music app to clear all music (only had a small amount).
Downloaded only what I wanted this time, no problem.
But as many are saying album tracks are not in track order.
Reading the advice on here I tried the on/off thing. This only rearranged the tracks for the album I was playing at switch off.
I then tried the reset all settings as I read on here. This worked but (a) a bit of pain going through settings I'd changed cos I did change quite a few from original settings, (b) I have two extra tracks downloaded now and I can' delete them.
Incredibly frustrating, not exactly a cheap machine and ordering stuff must surely be a basic operation for a computer in this day and age. Probably a bug but needs fixing quick if public to keep the faith in high quality output from Apple, especially after Maps fiasco last year.
I am using an iPad third generation 16gb wi-fi only. And I should point out that downloading the music to my iphone 5c 16gb (3G) via wi-fi, same houses, same account, etc, worked fine with all albums in order.
So maybe just an ipad thing?
