Playlist just scrolls through tunes at top of screen but won't allow me to play them

my playist just scrolls through each title in the list but won't allow me to stop it nor will it play anything from playlists.  installed iOS6 and it worked fine until today (about a week).  Also turned on iTunes match and it continued to work for about 3 weeks.  Still works on my other iphone4, but not on my 4s.  Power down and up didn't work to fix the 4s - phone still sees titles, but only scrolls through them on its own and won't play any tunes

Hi Diver,
I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Hope this helps!!

    I was just scrolling through my apps when the screen suddenly froze. A force shutdown didn't work and when I pressed the silent on/off button, there was no vibration either. The frozen screen faded to white with a few lines and about 10 minutes later, the edges started to turn black, forming a ring which got larger till about 4 hours later, the screen turned completely black. I tried connecting to iTunes but it wasn't detecting the phone and I can't do anything with it now... When it turned completely black, I charged it and after a while, the low batt screen came on but it was fuzzy and flickering with the white ring... What to do know ???????

    Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

    just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

    How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

  • My Ipad mini keeps going through various applications all by itself and won't allow me to close them

    My Ipad keeps going through my contacts, e-mail, ITunes, types by itself and will go through these apps over and over again. I can close them while in the process but just as I close them with the home button it starts right up again. I have tried closing all the open apps by double clicking the home button, which it will show the screen of all the apps but when I try to hold them down to delete them it doesn't respond. I have tried hard reset twice by holding the home button and the top button until the apple logo appears but this hasn't worked.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue playing audio tracks in iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve most issues like this one.

  • Pages keeps asking me to save a document when I'm just scrolling through it

    Is this normal behavior? I'm just scrolling through a document without making a single change, and Pages asks me to save it every single time. I don't remember Pages '08 having this issue.
    Is it just me? I've got all of the Save Preferences unchecked and it still happens. It's incredibly frustrating that I cannot tell if a document has actual changes made, or if it's just being annoying.
    Please tell me this is a Pages error and not just me.
    thanks.

    Bug report sent to Apple:
    Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6562876.
    Hello
    May you look at this problem.
    As I have no notebook I can't check.
    It seems that using the 'two-finger scroll" marks the documents as "Modified" so needing a Save.
    I grabbed that in:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1894698&tstart=0
    Okay, I see what you are talking about now. My impression from your first post was that Pages kept popping up some message about saving, but apparently you are talking about the normal save question if you try to close a changed document or quit the program - right?
    The two-finger scroll comment helped me replicate it, though I don't match everything you said. Here is what I find:
    1. Don't have to select anything at all.
    2. Does it on one page document too (it does take every line on the page so many that is a factor).
    3. I'm on a 13.3" macbook so not all of a single page fits on the screen so I have to scroll (is that your situation or can you fit a single page on the screen?).
    4. If I use the two-finger scroll, after about 3-4 lines, I think, the little circle icon that says the file is changed will get the dot in it.
    Okay, that doesn't help much, but at least I can confirm your situation and add some other details.
    If you can fit a full page on a screen and a single page doesn't have this problem, but I can't fit a single page and the problem still shows up for me, that might be a small clue for someone - Apple at least if this is a bug.

  • How do I get my iPhone to play music rather than just scrolling through

    I synced my new iPhone 4S to my computer and now I can't play my music. It just scrolled through the titles.

    Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off?  To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below).  Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).

  • My iPhone 4S has decide to stop playing any of my music. All my songs are there, but when I click to play, it just scrolls through a bunch of songs and then reverts back to the play list. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks.

    I am having the same issue. And today, I noticed that when I was talking on the phone, the volume went down low. I had to reboot the phone, so that the volume was up again. Mostly, though, it's my music that I am having issues with.
    Same issue as listed above. iPhone 4S. IOS6.

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

    i just bought 30$ itunes credit and redeemed the code, my balance is $30 but won't allow me to use because it keeps redirecting me to pay with a credit card

    The Mac App Store prices do not include local sales taxes. The tax is added to the total before your sale is complete. Your gift card credit total is not enough to complete the sale, so you are being given the opportunity to add a bank card that will be charged the remainder of the amount. Your other option is to get another gift card and bump up the credit balance in your account.

  • Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up.  Currently I'm looking to delete apps.  They no longer appear on left side of itunes screen.  I try to click on apps on top of screen but apps are in a shadow mode and I can't click on them.

    Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up and many do not now work.  Currently my problem is I want to delete some apps.  It no longer shows on the left side of itunes.  When I click on apps at the top, the apps appear shadowed and i cannot click on them.  If I check the box to sync them it says I will lose what's on my ipod and the things in my library will replace them.  What should I do?

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.
