Scrolls through the music library but doesn't play.
I have an original U2 iPod from 2004.
It has stopped working for me. I start at the main menu. I go to Music, then to Artist (or song title), then to the song I want and when I hit the play button, it simply starts to scroll through the playlist. It won't actually play any songs.
Do you think this is a hardware problem? I have downloaded the most recent version of software so that's up to date.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

When I try to manage my music in the usage my screen freezes when I begin to scroll through the music software is up to date and I have the iPhone 6 plus any suggestions?
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?
At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA
Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

I recently upgraded computer to Windows 7. When I open itunes I am able to see my music library, but unable to play. Gives an error message of "Could not be found". How do I retrieve my library contents?
Hello ehoff5,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to play my music in iTunes. It sounds like the music files may be in a location that iTunes is not expecting. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

Where are my iTunes files located?

i accadentally deleted my entire library (over 10,000 song) when i was trying to delete an old back up file off an external hard drive. Now when i open I Tunes and connect my ipod, a message says tht my ipod is not synced with this computer. This is the only computer this ipod has ever been synced to, so i don't know how to reconnect the two. I was able to restore all my music to the itunes library, but I lost all my playlists. I spent considerable time creating the playlists and they are stll on my ipod. Can I somehow sync in a way that my ipod can give the computer my play lists?
With your iPod connected to iTunes right->click on it's device name in the left hand pane of iTunes under devices and select Export Playlists.

It's best to report this to Apple, as the more they hear from us the more likely we'll get a fix (hopefully). There is probably a common issue with this, but I'm struggling to think of what may have triggered the problem. Was it a "recent" update to iMovie or OS X Mountain Lion, or perhaps another updated app conflicting with iMovie?
To report the problem to Apple, in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.

Why do podcasts I add appear in music library but not in podcasts ?
I personally find iTunes to be deeply counter-intuitive and confusing, so this maybe a simple user error. I'm adding podcasts from a hard disk. They were downloaded some time ago, under linux, from BBC Radio using the 'getiplayer' app. They exist as mp3 files on my harddisk, within a 'My Music' folder (my mistake).
When I add music files to iTunes from 'My Music' the podcasts are addded to the music library. When I delete them from that library, sending the files to trash, then add them from the original source to the Podcasts library, they appear back in the Music library but are not listed under Podcasts
What am I doing wrong?There have always, well for the past few years, written installers that just create a mess. All installed applications should appear in Finder, Applications. Not all of those will appear in Launchpad. When you encounter one that does not appear in the correct way, all you can do is manually move things around so it is consistent with the way apps should work.

I have an IPOD classic with 80MB of music. I am trying to reinstall library from a new PC. it goes through the synch process but I get an error message for most of the content. Library plays on the pc under Itunes fine?
Disable the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes and see if that helps.

Please help. I am going to go pop in a minute!!
All this happened after installing IOS 6!!I have the same issue - Home Sharing is setup on my macbook pro and works absolutely fine from my Apple TV but no longer works from my iPhone 4S now running iOS7.04
Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8
iTunes 11.04
Apple TV (latest software update?)
iPhone 4S with iOS7.04
Let me recap...Apple TV can access shared music library via Home Sharing with no issues. The iPhone 4S can ACCESS the shared library, SCROLL through the songs, but when I attempt to PLAY a song it just skips it and sends me back to the browsing screen.
I appreciate any response. -
Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -
I can access my music library, but Itunes Store is not opening. I am just getting a white screen. Any suggestions?
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
No data is lost due to a reset.
