  • The Music app will not open after I upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 6.

    This is a random occurance that started today.  I upgraded the phone when IOS6 came out - and the Music app has been giving me troubles since then (crashing; taking a couple of tries to open; etc.).  However, I have never had this much trouble getting it to open.  I have restarted the phone a number of times.  I have hard-closed the music app.  All to no avail.  It opens for a second, with a blank screen, then closes.

    As I mentioned in my post, I did restart the phone a number of times, and this did not solve the problem.
    Restart ≠ Reset.  Try the Reset.
    Apart from a Reset and closing the app, without your computer, there's not much you can do.  I suspect there's a problem with your music database, which I think can only be solved with access to your computer.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • Every single song I delete from iCloud on my Mac remains listed in the Music app on my iPhone 4S, and then becomes broken -- What the heck?

    Hello,
    So this is annoying me to no end because I just spent $25 to sign up for iTunes Match and so far its wasted my time and given me nothing but a massive headache. This is obviously a major bug on the SERVICE END, not mine.
    Starting with an empty iTunes library on my Mac, I began ripping my CDs in iTunes Plus AAC format the other night with the intent of matching & uploading my entire music library into iCloud for streaming & downloading to my iPhone 4S on the go. Simple in theory, right? After some basic tag editing -- changing genres, a simple alteration to a title here, deleting the composer there -- and then updating iTunes Match (Store > Update iTunes Match), I notice I'm getting duplicates of a bunch of my songs appearing on my iPhone. I haven't downloaded anything to the device, they're all just listed with the cloud icon next to them.
    So I'm thinking, whatever, I screwed something up. I'm only several CDs into the process so I'll just delete the iTunes library and start over again. Shift + right click, delete everything. Do you want to delete these songs from iCloud as well? Yes. Update iTunes Match. There are 0 songs in iCloud. Okay.
    The songs are still showing in my iPhone Music app. Strange. Swipe to delete does nothing, they're not on the device. They're pointing to files in the cloud that are either no longer there or somewhere that I cannot access anymore. Broken aliases. The album artwork still shows up, but playing the songs just kicks me back to the album menu. Navigating to Settings > General > Usage > Music shows me there is no data on the device. 0 bytes.
    One thing I notice is that sometimes after syncing a handful of these broken songs will show up in a "Purchased" playlist on my iPhone within the iTunes browser -- I haven't purchased any music from the iTunes store, not one song -- and inspecting them with right click > Get Info reveals them as Stream files, not iTunes Plus AAC files.
    Turning iTunes Match off and on again both from within iTunes and on my iPhone does nothing.
    Syncing wirelessly or via USB does nothing.
    Backing up and restoring my iPhone does nothing.
    Double clicking the Home button and quitting the Music process, then opening it again does nothing.
    Hard resetting the iPhone does nothing.
    This is something that's happening with my Apple ID on the service end, not locally or on the user end. As long as iTunes Match is turned on in my iPhone settings, all of this broken music -- everything I've matched to iCloud and deleted -- shows up. I've done everything within the parameters of proper usage, and iTunes tells me there is nothing in iCloud after it updates but my phone keeps seeing crap that isn't -- or shouldn't be -- there.
    I WANT to use iTunes Match, I just paid 25 freaking dollars for it, but its completely busted for me right now and I know ripping and matching some more CDs is just going to make it worse and populate my iPhone with an even bigger broken library. I just ripped and matched one more CD an hour ago without editing any of the tags, just let iTunes Match do its thing, and then after right clicking and following the prompts to delete the 18 songs both from both iTunes AND iCloud its still showing up on my iPhone. Busted like all the others.
    Can we please get an update on this as soon as possible? This is driving me nuts and I don't know what else to do.

    It's a slightly convoluted process.
    Disable iTunes Match on your iPhone
    Settings > Music > Itunes Match
    Now, make sure you've killed the Music app by double-tapping the home button, and deleting the app there where it is running.  Important step. The app should not be active.
    Next step:
    Settings > General > Usage (it takes a while to load) > then delete the Music app there
    Power your phone down, and back up again.
    Sync your music via iTunes like you always have ...
    ... and this should fix your problem.

  • In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

    Hello!
    I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
    In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
    It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this! 
    Thank you

    Exactly!
    This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
    I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
    And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

  • Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    A new version shouldn't do that but it does seem to happen on occasion to a few unlucky ones.  Restore your library from the backup you make of your computer before you install new software.  If you don't have one, this is a learning experience.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Audiobooks in the "music" app display tracks in alphabetical, not actual track order

    Since updating my iPad 1 to iOS 5.0.1 my audiobooks (Teaching Company) display in the "music" app in alphabetical, not actual track order.  They display correctly in iTunes from my synced computer.  I've tried designating them as compilations and not as compilations, and either way, the same result.  Further, when I hit play on the first track listed, it does not go to the second track, rather it just stops.

  • So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music  app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that 2

    So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music  app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad.  It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

    Greetings,
    First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why does the music app on my phone keep skipping songs?

    My music app on my iPhone 4S keeps skipping songs. It will show the album
    cover for a second then it will skip right to the next song and sometimes it will
    skip multiple songs. For example, once it skipped over an entire playlist and
    went to the screen at the end when it showed all of the songs in the playlist.
    I have update 6.0.1 and I haven't used the music app since the last update.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Mine is 18.2Mb it gets to about 37mb tops, Try logging out of the app, remove all apps that are running in the background then shut your phone down and restart, if that does not work hold the power and home button and do a hard reset. You shouldnt loose any data at all but make sure you back up anyway before hand, its just like a forced reboot of a computer really.

  • The music app on my iPhone 5 plays the same song over and over again.  It will not sequence through an album or playlist.  What can I do?

    The music app on my iPhone 5 will not sequence through albums or playlists.  It plays either the first or selected song over and over again.  What can I do?

    Turn off repeat.
    This is covered in the manual.
    iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
    Play the song, tap the screen, tap the repeat icon until it is white= off.

  • The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping  songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it.

    The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping  songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

    restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

    I use iTunes Match so I can't confirm this on my computer (my Music tab looks different), but as I recall, on the Music tab you have the option to check to sync selected playlists, artists and genres, and then check which playlists you want to sync below that.  Then, like songs, you would uncheck the playlists you don't want on your phone and sync to remove them.
