Some Music playing on iPhone, but fine when sync'd...until

I came across something quite strange with my iPhone this afternoon.
Some of my albums/songs were not playing. On some albums, only a few songs played. And sometimes, whole albums were dead. And to test the files, I sync'd it up to the mac, and played the tracks through iTunes. The songs played fine.
The problem could've very well have been an issue with the tracks, until the played over iTunes. That theory, out the window.
I've restored once, rebooted several times, and nothing is fixed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Justin

Allan,
Hi. The music was from another source, other than the store. i thought of this too, so I tried to convert one of the dead songs(at least, dead on the iPhone itself), into AAC, from MP3... and at least now the playhead moved... but still no sound.
If it was just a corrupted file, or maybe a compression issue... I'd be okay with simply getting a non-corrupted/fresh copy of the song and re-importing. But, the thing that confuses me, is that the songs are playing just fine when sync'd, through iTunes.
And, as far as I know, there is no alias system for songs exported out onto the iPhone, to link back to the master(like in iPhoto). So, these songs are playing... just not through the iPhone iPod.

    When you connect the iPad to the computer can you see any apps in the apps list at all in iTunes?
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Do you see apps in that apps list? If you do, click on all of the apps that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • I want to upload music to my iPhone, but it is synced to a dead computer. iTunes says that I can't add new music until I de-authorize the other comp (which I can't). Any suggestions?

    I've got a bunch of old music on my iPhone which would definitely be lost if I synced it with this new computer. Is there a way for Apple to not be so obnoxious and let me keep my rightfully owned music?

    You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer.  We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box.   The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

  • I have downloaded itunes match but i cant play some music on my pc but i can on my iphone

    I have downloaded itunes match. I can play all my music on my iphone but when i try to play it from my pc, it tells me it cannot locate the original files. Even though most are things i have purchased from itunes.
    They are now mean to be in the cloud but dont seem to be for my pc.

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

  • When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
    Help greatly appreciated.

    Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

    Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.
    Or iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them.

    I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
    1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
    2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
    I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

  • I downloaded some music for my ipod but it doesnt play!

    I downloaded some music for my iPod but it doesn't play. After I put it on my iPod it went gray and I couldnt play it, how do I get it to play/work?

    Did you purchase it form iTunes?
    Did you redownload it from iTunes using:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Did yu sync it to your iPod from your iTunes library on your computer? If yes, does it play OK in iTunes on the computer?
    Is it an iTunes purchase?

  • I bought music on my iPhone but lost it when I connected it to a new laptop is there any way of getting is back without paying again for it?

    Was the content not synced with a computer previously?  If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.

  • I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the albums still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?

    I deleted all the music on my iPhone, but all the album artwork still exist. How do I clear and add a fresh batch of music?  Also my iTunes no longer recognizes my iPhone under the "devices" tab so I am unable to manually sync. I have disconnected it makes a beep sound when reconnected so I know my computer is finding the phone, the iPhone also appears on Explorer. Stupid question but I can't figure it out and wasting too much time.  Thank you.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
    When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
    "Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
    Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

  • Match not updating iPhone but fine on iPad?

    Match not updating iPhone but fine on iPad?
    I've added songs to iTunes on my Mac and updated Match, they show fine on my iPad but not on my iPhone.
    Show all songs is on and i've reenabled Match on my phone and on my Mac numerous times but for some reason Match won't add new content to my iPhone.
    any ideas?
    Thanks.

    HeIlo Brian,  thanks for the help.  I couldn't find any email setting in the iPad settings for "signing out" of an account, only deleting (which I've done already), but I did go into the Yahoo account setting on the iPad, and slide the green Mail slider across to "disconnect" it (while leaving the others). I then went to my Mail and saw the "Yahoo, Google, etc." mail setup screen.  I then went BACK to settings and slid the mail slider back "on" again.  When I returned to Mail, first I saw ""***Orphand Mail Account" at the top of the screen...And then it reloaded and all is well...my mail is back.  Thanks for putting me on the right track!
