Problems with iPad Music App in iOS 5

In iOS5 on my original iPad, the Music app is much more difficult to use. Right now a song is playing but I have a mostly black screen and no clear way to make the album art or lists of music visible. Any suggestions? I liked the iPod app before; this seems a major step backward.

Yes, this is how I usually do it as well, however it doesn't always behave as expected when I do what you describe in the last sentence. Instead of flipping to the white song list, it remains black and blank. The tiny album in the progress bar disappears as does the progress bar itself, however music continues to play. The buttons at the very bottom all cease to function. Only REW, PLAY/PAUSE, FWD and the volume function. Leaving the app and coming back doesn't clear it up. I have to hit the home button and then force quit the app in order to regain control. Here's a screen grab of what it looks like. Truly odd.

  • Is anyone else experiencing problems with the Music App/listening to music via earphones?

    I am experiencing problems with the music app. It randomly stops producing sound when I'm listening to music. Also, I hear a popping noise when ever I walk with my phone in my pocket while listening with earbuds/earphones. I'm thinking it's because iOS 7 is still glitchy. Hopefully the next update corrects the issues I am having.

    I don't have those problems with my iPhone 5.  It almost sounds like your headset isn't fully plugged in and you might be getting static from the cord rubbing against your clothing.  If you are generating a static charge, it is possible that static is being interpreted by the control channel (the volume buttons, or the play/pause button inline in the headset) as commands.  Does this happen with every headset, or just the one you are using now?
    I use my iPhone 5 fairly heavily with the wired headset, and even a good bit with a Motorola S10HD  bluetooth headset.  I don't have the static issues with either, nor do I have problems with volume dropouts.
    You might want to set an appointment with your local Apple Genius Bar to have them take a look.  If it is just the headset, they should replace it on the spot.  If it is more severe and a hardware issue with your specific iPhone 5s, they should be able to help you too.

  • Remote app in combination with ipad music app

    Hi
    Can i stream music from itunes to my ipad with the remote app
    In fact i'm looking for an app from which i can remote control itunes on my mac mini
    and stream music to my ipad, using the same library or shared library and same app
    During music discovery nights with a friend
    I want to prelisten to the music with the ipad
    And after the correct selection i have to swith to the remote app to play the selected song on my mac mini
    I constantly have to switch between remote app and ipad music app
    Which is very annoying because
    - remote app looses his connection after every switch between the 2 apps
    - i then have to go through the complete music library again till i have the track that i wanted to play
    - and many more
    Also that music app has changed since a while and doesnt offer me the same comfort scrolling through my music
    I recently discovered plex and its ios app
    In that app we can click on the track we need and it gives me the choice to play it on the mac mini or the ipad
    Which is a really cool feature
    But, ...,  it doesnt have any search possibilities
    In every app i tried there is always something missing to make it raeaeaeaellllllyyy eaeaeaeassssyyyyy
    Isnt that what technology is supposed to offer us, make ite easy and confortable
    Grrrrr
    I googled  for a while about it
    Found no defenitive answers yet

    How I wish that the Music App on my iPad could work as fast and as sleek as the Remote App when connecting to my (VERY LARGE) Library.
    Even with version 1.0, every time I had to connect to my Library, the response time was just a few seconds before I can see and scroll thru my Albums/Artists/etc (with Album Art and all).
    With the Music App, I haven't being able to connect to my shared library since iOS 4.0 :-( And the limited times when successfully connected the response time was JUST awful.
    Please 'Remote App Team' have a beer or two with the 'Music App Team' and share your expertise with them!!! I'm begging  you!!! Or at least 'tweak' your App so it can stream the music to the iPad, so we can enjoy our shared libraries on it.
    Today... After updating to iTunes 11, I ( 've ?) tried to connect the Music App to my Library via Home Sharing without success. So.. Again.. Please Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
    Thanks!!!

  • What's the problem with the music App on iPhone 3GS iOS 6.1.3

    Sometimes the in the music app the volum doesn't show up, or sometimes I can't see
    The the name of the singer it's like showing like an iPhone five or something and its annoying
    Because its not a 4 inch it's. 3.5 inch can apple fix that?

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • IPad Music App in IOS 7 is such a crap, When you gonna update it ?

    Guys Guys Guys, What happened to you ?
    Since the ios7 1st update am Waiting for Music app to be updated. I liked iphone music app, and i thought i could get in my ipad also but sad !
    since that day am waiting for music app update. In real words you guys f****d up the MUsic app. you should have make it better than iOS 6 but its such a crap i cant even think of opening it.
    There are no any major Pros if you guys compare it with iOS 6 Music app and Cons are First of all App is not Good in Looks Second, there were no need to show album art in Songs List & Third, it could not show Now Playing screen when you tap on album art such as in Itunes desktop app.
    Guys if you Cannot update the app then Please give us iOS 6 Music app back.

    Agreed!!
    The new Music app in iOS7 is horrible. Reduced functionality and the functionality that is there doesn't make intuitive sense.
    My main issues/corrections:
    1) Give the user an option to display, or not display, the large album art beside the Artist listing. The large album art beside each Artist takes up too much room and conveys no useful information.
    2) Within each Artist allow the user to select a listing of the albums (as in iOS6). Scrolling through albums does not make sense. Allow the user to select from a list!
    3) Within each Artist allow the user to sort the albums alphabetically. Sort the albums by title NOT date! Why sorting albums by date?
    4) Within each Artist replace the selection to play all songs (as in iOS6). In iOS7 only option is to shuffle play the songs.
    As it stands now in iOS7 the Music app has reduced functionality and is a horrible experience for the user.

  • TS1702 Problem with the Music app on iPhone 4S

    In the music app on my iPhone 4S, I select the "Genres" tab at the bottom menu and when I click on "Rock" it takes me to my "Folk" albums.  In my iTunes on my MBP, they are correctly labeled and when the iPhone is connected to the computer, all seems well.  Has anyone else had any problems like this with this app?

    So sorry I just saw that there many people with the same problem as mine, sorry to spam you guys. I will write into the correct topic.

  • Problems with Sony music app

    .Hi,
    Everytime I play a song in the Music/Walkman app it chops off the last second of the song. This is pretty annoying if the song doesn't fade out at the end.
    For example Bon Jovi - It's My Life. In Walkman app it's 3:41 long and in other music apps it's 3:42 long so the last 0.5s of the song is chopped off.
    Anyone know a fix?
    Thanks 

    I need to put music on my phone and wonder how you are doing this?  Where are you buying your music from, then how transferring, etc?  

  • Leopard 10.5 problems with some music apps

    Leopard was just been released in Australia. I am one of the lucky ones to have a copy which I have just installed on my G5 powermac. However, now I find that under leopard, my G5 cannot start Garageband, Logic Pro 7 or Logic Pro 8. They all either crash or hang on start up. Soundtrack Pro is OK, as is iTunes, Final Cut Pro, and stand alone versions of software instruments, like Kontakt etc.
    I have tried to repair permissions, but disk utility also does not seem to be responding as per normal. It appears to start the process but goes on forever without issuing a report on its progress/results(?)
    I note on the Logic Pro 8 forum, that some people have experienced similar start up crash or hang problem problem with that software (under Tiger) but this behaviour did not start until I upgraded my system to Leopard.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what to try to fix the problem?

    Others are now reporting similar problems on the Logic Pro 8 forum. One "fix" appears to be to remove the rewire folder from Application Support/Propellerhead Software (and possibly, other rewire applications you may have such as melodyne). I have found that this now enables me to fire up garageband, logic pro 8, logic pro 7, and cubase 4, although I am getting some strange error messages now with some of these applications - they don't seem to be "happy".
    Seems like the issue has something to do with rewire under OSX10.5.

  • Has anyone had problems with the clock app in iOS 6?

    The clock app has been updated and now allows me to use a song as my alarm tone. Have been wanting apple to do this for a long time. Problem is that when alarm goes off I get no sound. The phone just vibrates. I do not have the phone muted. Guessing this is a glitch in the app?  Anyone else having similar problem?

    Been using iOS 6 now for a couple weeks on an iPad 2 and twice have relied on it as an alarm clock. Both times it's failed to play the song I've designated as the alarm.  I've tried it with the cover open and closed, volume maxed and not.  Each time, after the designated alarm time, I've opened the iPad up & entered the security code only to be greeted by the alarm message pop up.  That's it.
    Kinda frustrating, to say the least.
    Am I using it incorrectly?  Having used the clock on the iPhone this way in earlier versions of iOS, I've never had an issue.  Would like to leverage this functionality, but being 0 for 2, not sure I want to risk a third time...
    Thoughts?

  • Problems with ipad and app sync

    I bought a couple of apps with my ipad, and when I connect it to my imac, itunes tells me that these apps cannot be transferred to the computer because it´s not activated. But when I activate it, it tells me that it is already activated. I´m using only one appleID. I don´t know what to do.I bought keynote for ipad with my imac and I can´t transfer it to my ipad. I would be happy if someone can help me.

    I had a bit of this a little while ago, then it went away. I kept activating the iMac in iTunes, and eventually it shut up.
    Try restarting the iPad, and if that doesn't work, back it up and do a Restore
    To get Keynote on the iPad, in the interim go to the App Store on iPad, and check Purchases - keynote should show up there and you can download it.

  • Problems with iPad 2 Music.app

    So I am on 5.0.1. Fairly recently I have had problems with the music app on my iPad 2. It doesn't happen with every album/song, but sometimes when I transfer an album/song to the iPad, in the music app I can't find that album under the heading for that artist in the music app. If I go to albums instead of artists in the music app, I can find the album and play it no problem and 1. When I am scrolling through my album and I see that album, it doesn't have the artists name under it like most of the others do and 2. It's weird because when I play a song and I make the album art full screen, up top where it usually says the artist, it does say the artist name and also when I am looking through my iPads music on the computer, it says the artist name there also. Anyway anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    I know I should just go onto the computer and delete them from there, but it's still annoying.
    You don't have to delete music on your computer to remove music from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. If you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes and you have Sync Only Checked Songs and Video selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, you can uncheck the songs in your iTunes library or in the selected playlist in iTunes that you want removed from the iPad followed by a sync.
    Any change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If not and you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Music followed by a sync. This should remove all music from your iPad. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music making your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music back to the iPad.

  • Having problems with my music player on my iPad with the new io7

    Downloaded the new io7 on my iPad mini. Now I have problems with the music player not letting me download songs onto my iPad, then closing out the app. Then on iTunes it shows up in the downloads tab and comes up as an error and still won't download. At this point I'd rather have the old io6. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

  • Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

    I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) -  but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
    It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

    go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into 
    and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
    You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
    If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there.  This is what Barney previously posted about that:
