Unable to listen to one of my songs on iphone 5

I just downloaded a new song on my Mac from iTunes. It appears on my iPhone 5 but in a light grey color, much lighter than the other songs, and I'm unable to listen to it on my phone even though I can listen to it on my Mac and I was able to synch it with my iPod shuffle.

Could you please type out the exact steps you are taking, and what happens when you try. Any error messages? Using Mac or Windows? Updated iTunes?

  • Why can't I listen to one of my songs?

    I'm having trouble with my music app. One of my songs just dims and when I click it goes to the next song. I've tried so many things and read so many conversations but I'm still confused. Please help, its like my favorite song!!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete the one song then, if it plays OK in iTunes on the computer and then resync or redownload from iTunes.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    iTunes is quite friendly, and very powerful....   You probably just need to set up automatic syncing in iTunes.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select the iPod there.
    To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing for music.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  From the lists below, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod.
    Here's one convenient way to set this up.  In your iTunes library, create one or more playlists.  Add the ALL the songs you want on the iPod to those playlists.  OR, you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists.  (You can select other items on those lists, if desired.)
    When you click Apply, the songs in your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update your iPod (add/remove songs), just update those playlists in your iTunes library.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes.
    NOTE:  On the bar of buttons that starts with Summary, click on the other buttons (such as Movies, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) to set up syncing for those iTunes media categories.

  • ITunes has exclamation marks next to all my songs. Unable to listen to my songs. What do I do?

    I have a had my iPhone 4s for almost two years and ive never really had any problmes with it til now. Just randomly the other day i was listening to my music and all of sudden after one song finished, it skipped like 50+ songs and went to the first song in my playlist. I llooked at it and the songs that were skipped all had a faded stop button next to them. What do I do? All the sings that I am unable to listen to was music i transferred from my HTC Evo onto iTunes when i first got my 4S. The songs i am still able to listen to on my phone were songs purchased from the itunes store. I had over 700 songs and now i am only limited to 70 songs. Please help.

    You should sync it again and this time you'll get 0 song. Yes, that's what will happen. Its quite amazing a company that famous for making music device like IPOD could mess up this bad. Not sure if its cause by IOS 7 or ITunes 11. Probably both

  • Unable to listen to songs based on album

    I am unable to listen to songs from the same album. Its sorting by album and artists even though I have set the "Group by album artist" option in the settings to OFF.
    Also, the recently added and recently played playlist do not show up in my playlists even though I have set the date range that I would like for songs to be added to this list.
    This is an ipod touch 4th generation. Ny 3rd gen i-touch had all of these features.
    Can someone please advise what I can do to fix these issues.
    Thanks

    Do you only want the values where type = "Writing Assignment 1". If that is the case then modify your LookupSet as follows:
    =Join(Lookupset(Fields!identifier.Value+"Writing
    Assignment 1",Fields!Student.Value+Fields!value.Value,
    Fields!value.Value, "Comments"), vbCrLf)
    This will require that identifier matches student and type matches "Writing Assignment 1".

  • I have formatted my IPOD shuffle,now im unable to listen to songs

    Hi,
    i have mistakenly formatted IPOD and now im unable to listen songs even if i have re-installed ITUNES on my windows PC.
    please help me guys.

    By formatted do you mean a low level filesystem reformat of the Shuffle's flash storage using the reformat option available in Windows (and NOT iTunes)?
    Does the iPod still appear in iTunes when you connect it? If so, are you sure have content synced to it?

  • I have several cd imports which have so much noise on them that I'm unable to listen to them. Any ideas? I've spoken with Apple care who stated optical drive was at fault; this has been replaced and I've re imported them but same outcome. Michael

    Hi, I have several of my cd imports to itunes, unable to listen to for lots of background noise. Applecare  told me the optical drive was at fault; a new one replaced old one (less than  a year old) still same problem after re-imprting relevant cds. Also ticked error box in itunes preferences.
    Would the cds in question have some sort of 'block' on import. All the releevnt cds play on my various cd gadgets.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated.
    Michael

    Does the noise occur with all imports or just some.
    Do the CDs play noise free in the optical drive or just as imported.
    Have you tried unchecking error correction. I virtually never use that setting.
    AAC 128 - Unless disk space is at an absolute minimum, I would import at 256 AAC and a sample rate of 44.100 kHz

  • How do I use one of my songs as a ringtone??? and also I download music on the phone from the internet but it doesn't show in my playlist???

    I've also downloaded music from the internet via UC Browser and on my old phone it would save it to my playlist but on the Iphone it doesnt y?

    You can't download music through anything other than the iTunes store or by syncing music that you have on your computer that is placed into iTunes. Once the music is in iTunes, you can sync it to the phone.

  • How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    ... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
    You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv.

  • How can I listen to one podcast at a time

    I listen to podcasts before I go to sleep but it plays the one I choose and all after it. How can I just listen to one? Using iphone 4 for this with latest update. Thanks

    Yes. If you are uploading to a server and not MobileMe, then just select the option publish to a local folder.
    When you have done this, then use Cyberduck or Transmit and upload just the one page from your site folder to your server, plus it's resultant file. So if you just want to upload a Welcome page for example, use Cyberduck to upload just the Welcome.html page and the Welcome files to your server and into your root folder on your server, which would be either a public_html folder, a www or htdocs folder.
