Problems playing music on my iPhone
I have iTunes Match and Show All Music turned on and I can see all my mtach, included playlists, from my iMac. The problem is the vast majority appear to be greyed out and I can't play them on my iPhone. Only songs that have been purchsed since I bought the iPhone (and, for some strange reason, 4 other songs) appear in black so I can play them. Am I missing a step?
Settings>iTunes/App store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in & make sure you use the same ID/password that you used on your computer when you enabled Match.

Is anyone having problems playing music on their iPhone? At times, particularly when you've got headphones in songs sound like a badly scratched CD, continually skipping in various sections of the song. Problem occured post-IOS 5 update.

HT1386 Problems playing music on my iPhone.
I've synced my iPhone with my iTunes from my mac but on my phone some of my songs are 'grayed out' and I can't play them. I've only started adding to tunes which were downloaded onto my mac by someone else and can't see what the songs I can't play on my phone have in common. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.
The songs downloaded onto your mac by someone else are very likely owned by that person, and you were not given the right to play them using your Apple ID.
One way around this would be for that other person to use your iTunes to "Authorize This Computer" to play that person's songs. In iTunes on your computer, you would choose Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu and have that person enter their Apple ID and password.
That person can only authorize no more than five devices at any time. Before trashing or disposing of that computer, the person should deauthorize it in a similar way to the authorization. -
Help Please! My volume has disappeared when I play music on my iPhone 4s (since I updated to iOS6). Help please!?
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange. -
Problems playing music on iPhone5
What's going on? When I play music loaded on my iPhone 5 through the "Music" app that comes with the phone my songs first of all, don't play in the order they are listed in the playlists, and second they often stop in the middle and jump to another song or even jump back to the beginning of the same song that has been playing when the "jump" occurs. I DO NOT HAVE "SHUFFLE" SELECTED in settings. Even if I did, why do songs stop before they end and jump to another song. It's acting like "shuffle" has been asked for, but it has NOT.
Is there something in settings or elsewhere that needs to be set so that songs play in order and play completely without being cut off? As things stand now, playing music on my iPhone is frustrating to the point of being useless to even try.Never mind. I think I figured it out, thanks to reading threads by other who report the same problem.

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?
Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?
The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price -
I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?

hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
much respect,
tommy bravoAfter further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO. However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow! It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.
Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"

BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
I also tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.
I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue. -
Hi, is it possible to play music while my iphone locked
Hi, is it possible to play music while my iphone locked
Yup. If it is enabled (and i believe it is by default) in the settings, double clicking the home button brings up the iPod controls which allow you to raise the volume, play a song, and more forward or backward a song. If the headphones are plugged in, clicking the center button on the headphones once can also play/pause a song while double clicking will move forward and triple clicking will move backward.

I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?
I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

I have a new iphone6+ and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.
Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
Please let us know what happens
Thanks
