since upgrading to ios5 on my iphone4 does not play music (ipod) from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How to set alarm on iPhone 5 to play music from a playlist?

I'd like to set alarm on my iPhone 5 to play music from a playlist or from a album in Music, i.e. when alarm goes off, it will play more than just one song like songs in a playlist. This setting option was present in my old iPods (iPod Classic and iPod 5th generation), but is not present in both new iPhone 5 and new iPod Touch. Or, does anyone know how to work around it? It would be nice to be woken up by one of my favorite playlists rather than having to listen to just one song over and over. Thank you. piamsakp

Tell Apple to add this ability:

As far as the app goes, I don't Know, as I don't use it. Just know you need an app to do playlists.

ITunes 7.6 Bug: Does not play music from Intelligent Playlists

Since I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 I can no longer play music from my intelligent playlists. Whenever I try it will remove the song from the playlist instead of playing it.
Has anybody else experienced this and maybe found a solution?
And if not, how can I downgrade to iTunes 7.5?

... and one other thing: I had to re-activate my computer repeatedly to be able to listen to the music bought in the iTunes store. After several vain attempts it finally worked when I accessed the piece directly in my music library instead of from a playlist. However, my computer was re-activated as a new pc although it had been activiated already before the upgrade.
And as to changing the infos - in my case to Soundtrack - this works only as long as the intelligent playlist tries to actually play he song. Then the info changes back automatically to the former status - in my case the German "Filmmusik" (meaning soundtrack in German).
So it seems that this is simply a localisation (or purely German?) problem with iTunes getting mixed-up with the non-English and English definitions. I now have changed all genre infos to "Filmmusik" instead of Soundtrack, and voila, it is working. - Very strange, indeed.
Anyway, for the time being I will not mark this thread as solved as I am not sure that this is the permanent solution.

Playing music from a playlist

I'm wondering why my iphone 4 has now decided that when I'm in a playlist to play random songs. It seems like it is on shuffle but I have not picked that option. Is there any way to fix this problem? It is really starting to be annoying

I figured this out. No worries now. I did some research on here in other discussions and discovered that if you are having the same problem as me. Well, just go into your playlist pick a song to play, while it is playing just touch the album cover background and a little screen at the top will appear There are icons on both the left and right sides one for repeat and one for shuffle option well if it is orange you need to touch that icon to make it not shuffle Worked for me.....hope it helps someone

How do I get all of the music from my ipod touch onto my itunes. Some of the music is from my brothers and friend's accounts as well and I want it all on my PC itunes.

Help :)

The music you acquired from your friends is not yours to keep. If you want that music, you should buy it. To do otherwise is commonly known as stealing.
Although it's a grey area, if your brother lives in the same house as you, that music you can keep. If the music is on your brother's computer, use an external hadrd drive to copy the music to your computer, import it into iTunes and then put it on your iPod.
For the musc that you have actually paid for, it should already be on your computer or in a back up copy that you have previously made. If not, then songs purchased from the iTunes Store can probably be downloaded again, just go to your account in the store. Other MP3 retailers usually let you re-download the music. For any CDs that you used, simply use the CD to copy them into your iTunes Library gain.

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

How do you play music from a playlist on an iPhone without using WiFi and iCloud?

I travel in a RV and frequently park in campgrounds that do not have WiFi. I've been told I can copy iTunes playlists (selected from my copied CDs on my Mac) onto my iPhone 5S. I can then, using a mini stereo jack go from the output on the iPhone to the aux input on my DVD player and thereby play my playlists of copied CD music on my RV sound system. All well and good except I tried my Music app on my iPhone and could not find a play function. I found the iTunes Radio but that only seemed to work with a WiFi connection. What am I missing?
As you can tell, I am not experienced with the iPhone although I've used a Mac for years. Is there a basic tutorial on how to accomplish my stated task or at least use the basic music function? I've tried to find something on the Apple website but haven't been able to find anything yet.
Thanks in advance.

Chris -
Those 2 playlists were a total of 498 songs. I have just been using the default rate when I load a CD and click on import into iTunes. Is there a better way? My second 2 playlists have about 330 songs plus about another 20 I'm going to load today and then stop and see about syncing them on my iPhone as well. I've gotten about half of my CDs imported. This is obviously a do-as-you-get-time task that will take quite a while. Not so much importing the CD, but listening to at least a couple bars of each song to see which I want to put on a playlist.

How do you access iCloud? Since upgrading to ios5 my phone doesn't automatically sync to itunes any more. Also my calendar events are on my iphone twice, but aren't in outlook.

I'm not sure how iCloud works as far as syncing is concerned.
Events on my calendar are now showing twice on my iphone calendar, but not in the original outlook calendar on my laptop.

This:
but then displayed a screen image (new to me) of the end of USB cable that would plug into a PC port with an arrow pointing to the iTunes icon.
Means the iPod encountered and error and you have to connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes and an internet connection and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also say you have iCloud but that requires iOS 5 or later except with your iOS verions (4.3.2) you can redownload iTunes purchases on the iPod.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Cannot play music from itunes playlist

When I try to play from my itunes playlist I get the following message "The music you selected can’t be found or can’t be opened." This worked fine before I switched to Tiger (10.4.7). How do I fix this?

Hello, RobMcCal,
Welcome to the discussions!
Do you mean you cannot get a playlist to play in iPhoto's slideshow? Or in iTunes itself?
Your question was posted in the iPhoto discussions, and if it is an iTunes issue, you may get better responses by posting in that discussion forum.
Post back here with more specific information regarding your problem if it is with iPhoto so we can be of help to you.

Front Row Crashes While Attempting to play music from a playlist

So, I launch Front Row, select iTunes, select playlists, select a playlist, the shuffle is the only option....so I select shuffle and get the message a problem has been encountered. I press any key and the program exits. All software is up to date.
I'm stumped and I'll buy a coke for anyone that can help.
thanks!

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music on my ipod it's all gone and some of the songs I purchased thru itunes

I synced my ipod to my laptop and now I can't find my music help. I called the support but was told that that help expired. I did not even know I had that offered to me HELP!!!!

You may be able to redownload your iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
BTW, did you sync to the laptop before? Yu can only sync to one iTunes library. If you sync to to another library the iPod will be eerased and it contents replace with what is in the iTunes library on the computer.
