My music is not playing in my new iphone4s

i just bought an  iphone 4s and i downloaded purchased music from my library through icloud. when i open my music app in my iphone and play a song, it doesn't play anything. everytime i press play, nothing happens. it shows that it's playing but no sound at all.

I am having the same problem with my new 4s.  It's not all of my music, and not even all of my purchased music, but certain songs purchased from the iTunes store won't play.  In my case, these are songs I purchased a long time ago, so I can't imagine how I could be experiencing an iCloud problem.  I know it has something to do with the 4s because the songs play fine on iTunes, and on my old iPhone 3gs (which I now simply use as an iPod). I'm reluctant to reset my iPhone because I have so much music on it.

  • I recently purchased a new computer and tried to move my itunes music to the new PC, I am not savay on computers, but music will not play on new PC, error (!) will not play and have to locate.  Why is this please help.

    please help, someone that doesn't have the savay on moving music from an old pc to a new pc.  Music will not play message comes up and have to search. also purchased music from iPhone and does not show on my music library on PC.  This is very frustrating.  Thank you

    It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
    You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
    I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.

  • After upgrading my iPhone to new 5.1 iOS, and reloading all of my files back in , my music appears to be in the phone, but when I press play, the music does not play, even though the pause button is now lit.

    After 6 hrs. Of upgrading to 5.1 iOS , and reloading all data my music will not play. The music was reloaded from iCloud, and shows up in library, but will not play.

    Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

  • ITunes 7.0 Update - now music does not play

    After updating to the latest iTunes, music does not play. I see old posts about this with versions 5 and 6, but now I have it with 7. I've tried uninstalling both QT and iTunes and reinstalling - same problem exists. When a music file is selected for play, the scrolling diamond never advances. I've dragged the diamond to the middle of the file; it still just stays stuck. I've tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing: same problem remains. I;ve checked that the exe is not set for "mixed-mode" (an Apple article), but it isn't in that mode. All files are findable through iTunes and they will download to the iPod through iTunes. Windows XP Pro is completely up-to-date through Microsoft Update (it already was before the upgrade - on auto-update - but I double checked to be sure). An audio CD has the same behavior: the tracks are read and displayed, but they will not play. The CD spins up for about a minute and then stops. The same CD plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    Does anyone have a clue on this one? I see these old articles about the same problem in previous versions, but there are no fixes or suggestions, other than what I've already tried above.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I decided to revert to iTunes 6.0.5, which I found on the Apple site. Uninstalled 7.0.0 and installed 6.0.5. It wouldn't start, complaining that itunes library.itl was created by a newer version of iTunes - great! Well, it turns out there is a backup of the old library file in the iTunes directory. I replaced the one created by 7.0.0 with that older file. The music is again playing!!! We're back to where we were before the 7.0.0 update, so that's some relief, but we're currently at a deadend on the update cycle. Not sure where to go from here, except nowhere.

  • 3.1.3 double clicking home button when music is not playing

    Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? For me, it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
    This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.3?

    Jeong-hun Sin, 3.1.3 has the same issue, and I do not think Apple is ever going to fix this issue. They still haven't even fixed the live updating playlist sort order issue...
    roaminggnome he's referring to a pop-up controls issue that has been talked about on this forum ever since the release of the 3.1 firmware.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151438
    In 3.0 and older versions, if you're in an app/game you can double-click the home-button to access the iPod pop-up controls to resume the playback of a song/podcast that had been previously paused/stopped.
    In 3.1, if a song had been previously paused you cannot launch the pop-up conrols to resume the playback of the song. You're forced to exit the app that you might be in (lets say safari, or a game), and then resume playback using the music app.
    Jeong-hun Sin, I upgraded to 3.1.3 a few days ago, and have found a few improvements:
    - Many 3D games are MUCH smoother/faster under 3.1.3, than 3.0. I downgraded back to 3.0 just to see if I was just imagining things, but games like Coconut-racer, and Asphalt 5 were not as smooth as they were under 3.1.3.
    - If you happen run apps that have live video streaming where the video playback controls do not appear (e.g the BBC world, Al Jazeera news, sure there's more), the iPod Touch no longer randomly reboots when using those apps.

  • I have an old itunes account and the music won't play on my new account

    I have an old itunes account that I downloaded on my computer about 100 songs. I since then have started a new account and now my old music will not play at all and it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by itunes. What gives? I have over $100 worth of music I cannot access on my own computer?!
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    I since then have started a new account
    Why? Just update the info for your old account and continue to use that.
    When you create new accounts, it's highly probable you will run into problems (as you can see).
    it says that my old itunes account has been locked out by iTunes.
    More likely it says that your iTunes account has been locked for security reasons and that you need to contact the iTunes store to unlock it.

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support). 

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

  • 3.1.2 double clicking home button when music is not playing

    Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? I don't know it's a design change or a bug, but for me it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
    This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.2?

    It's a design change, not a bug. Although I do have to agree with you on that I preferred what double-clicking the home button originally did. There is even settings (in general settings if I can remember right) on what double-clicking the home button performs, but that isn't even an option on it.
    And nope this is not fixed or redesigned in 3.1.2.
    Hope that answers your question,
    Enjoy!

  • The music is not played correctly on my iphone (on Laptop it's ok)

    Hi all
    I loaded some songs from my laptop to the iphone4 (on the laptops the files are ok) but when I played on the iphone ....The music is not played correctly - I get some cuts and it's jumping from one song to another. A total reboot or update to the latest OS did not bring any change.
    Thanks

    I too have this problem which seems to be replicated several times in discussion groups.  I've swictched off iTunes Match, backup up and restored my iPhone and nothing helps. I'll try other discussion threads but if anyone has a solution, PLEASE post!
