Using music app on my 4S uses data...why

I see others have had this experience, but don't think my problem is solved. My provider keeps sending me messages that I'm going over my data usage and they are charging me additionally for the month. I couldn't understand this, so I downloaded My Data Manager. When i rec'd the data overage message again, I was able to see that my Music app was the culprit. This doesn't make sense to me. I buy the largest iPhone so I can keep all my tunes on it, and don't have to also have an iPod. I do not use iTunes match or cloud services of any kind. When we take a road trip, i plug it into my car's sound system via USB. I don't want to put it in Airplane Mode to use it, as I sometimes need to use the maps (which I know uses data). Not sure what is happening here. Suggestions?

More on the subject above. For a while, I just turned off my cellular data. However, that doesn't make for a very smart phone. I have it turned back on...used it yesterday to play 18 holes using GPS Golfshot. That was fine...only used 2 mb of data. When finished, I quit the program and turned off location services. This morning, I'm checking my data manager, and it shows that today I have used 119 kb of mobile data. But the phone hasn't left the house where I am always connected to the wireless. What's using my data? Here is a list of my apps that My Data Manager shows I have used today (remember, I'm wireless):
Messages 34% (have not sent or received any messages today)
Mail 16% (have not checked my mail, and have manual turned on...no automatic download)
Apple Push Service 16% (what is this? I don't have any push services activated)
Phone 8% (have not used my phone except to clear recent calls)
iTunes Store Downloads (haven't downloaded or updated anything today)
Media Download 7% (WHAT IS THIS? This may have been the culprit in my episode above...what is it downloading?)
My Data Mgr 5% (this I used)
Settings 3% (no use today)
Music 2% (no use today)
Safari 1% (no use today)
iCloud Sync Services 1% (should only happen over wireless, right?)
Maps 1% (no use today and location services are turned off)
just checked My Data Mgr after having my phone open to write the above: I've now used 601 kb of wi-fi and 129 kb of mobile data. I clear out all running apps frequently.I've checked under Privacy and nothing is trying to locate me.
Can anyone help me understand my usage?
On the day I mentioned in my first post, I used 28 mbs of data...all I did was listen to my music through the car speakers (which works in airplane mode), checked google maps a couple of times (no more than 5 -10 total minutes), wrote 4 or 5 texts to other iPhones and had 3 or 4 phone calls. What used 28 mbs of data?

Using music app on Iphone when plugged into a device

A feature I would like to see added is being able to control my phone through the music app when it is plugged into a device rather than it being disabled. I mainly listen to music in my car and my radio interface is not very user friendly when it comes to navigating through my music. However if I use pandora when I plug in my device I can control the app from my phone. This is a feature that should be compatible with the music app so that I can control it through my phone which is more user friendly.

Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
See if it will charge after this.

Music plays upon ending call when music app not currently being used.

iPhone 5, with iOS 7.0.4. Randomly, when i hang up from a call, the Music app starts playing the song that I was listening to last. However, sometimes it has been a day or more since i was listening to the song. Very Annoying. What is Apples fix for this??

Same thing happens on an iPhone 6 running IOS 8.0.2, but only when using Bluetooth headset. Very irritating.

IOS6 using music app with itunes match

my itunes match account contains more than 80.000 songs, approx. 2.800 albums - iOS6 the music app starts now each time to sync itunes match. This takes now more than 30 minutes untill the album list is on screen.

I don't know what the issue is, have had it since I have had match, and am thinking of ditching it because of it. Now, after deleting and replacing a whole slew of my music with the wrong songs, have the stuff won't play or download from match, even stuff I buy in iTunes. It's ridiculous. Apple should be paying me to be losing my media by using match. It's driving me CRAZY!

Music app splitting one podcast into two - why?

I have a 4th gen iPod Touch running iOS 6.1.6 - newest available. I listen to podcasts through the standard Music app. For some reason I have one podcast that shows up as two on that app - even though they have the same name. AND in iTunes on my Mac it is a SINGLE podcast that contains all of the episodes - including the six that are split out on the iPod. No change in the stream location; no change in the podcast name; nothing different between the meta fields when you do "get info" on the podcasts. In that separate podcast on the iPod, there are 6 podcasts (un-played) from 2012. Everything in the "main" podcast that is un-played is 2013 or newer.
I done a lot of googling and can find nothing on split podcasts other than when the actual podcast changed its name or the stream location. This is not the case here.
Any ideas???

At least this was the resolution for me.

Inserting a Value into otherTable using an App. Proc. from a Date Picker

I'm trying to call an Application Process that will insert an Attribute of a Row, into another table, after selecting a date from a Date Picker cell.
I don't know why this shouldn't be possible. I think I've got all of my "Ducks in a Row", so to speak,
but the Value that is being inserted into the other table is this:.. [object HTMLTableCellElement]
(Ultimately, I'd like my Application Process to include Page element values with the insert as well, but I'm trying to handle one problem at a time)
Here's a list of all the steps I've covered:
1. I've Created an Application Process, (popDevices). The Process Point is "On-Demand". The Type is "PL/SQL Anonymous Block".
The Process is defined as such:
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
MODEL
) values
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
2. I've Included the Javascript in the Page HTML Header.
The Javascript is written as such: (minus the tags)
function popDevices(PART_NO)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_MODEL',PART_NO);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
3. I've included the following in the "Element Attributes" field of the Date-Picker Item (Date_Delivered).
The Region Type is "SQL Query (Updatable Report)"
onChange="javascript:popDevices(PART_NO);"
THE RESULTS
A. A row does get inserted into the other (P_Devices) table,
But the value of the Attribute from the Page Region is not valid.
The Inserted value is this: [object HTMLTableCellElement]
B. I have tried Every conceivable combination of characters in the "Element Attributes" field, such as:
...(PART_NO), (#PART_NO#), (||PART_NO||), (+PART_NO+)
C. The Javascript in the Page HTML Header appears to be correct, since I have written it this same way for other applications without any problems.
D. If this simply cannot be done by referencing the "onChange" Javascript from the "Element Attributes" field,
Then can you help me to write the code into the Select statement of the region.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
-Gary

This may not be the most direct approach to the solution. But, none the less, it is a solution.
For those other novices, like myself, I hope this can be useful at some point in your development:
MY DESIRED RESULT:
A. To Insert into another tablle values derived from both; Page Item (i.e. P153_x) and Attributes of a Row in an Updatable Report from which I have selected the Date-Picker.
B. I want the insert to occur automatically after the user Selects the date from the Date-Picker.
SOLUTIONS:
1. I usea Javascript prompt window to prompt for information and store the information in Pre-Created Page Items.
This is the Javascript as I've entered it into the Page HTML Header region: (Minus the Tags)
function received_javaprompt () {
var Serial_Number = prompt("Enter the Serial Number");
var Bldg_Id = prompt("Enter the Bldg_Id");
var Clst_Id = prompt("Enter the Clst_Id");
$x('P153_SERIAL_NO').value = Serial_Number;
$x('P153_BLDG_ID').value = Bldg_Id;
$x('P153_CLST_ID').value = Clst_Id;
2. I needed to identify the (Manufacturer and Part_No) Column Attribute in the Row from which I selected the Date-Picker.
A. To do this, I enumerated the Columns in the order they were listed in the Select Statement of the region (Click on the Region Definition Tab).
B. Then (Click on the Report Attributes Tab). Count, In the numerical order which these columns are selected, ONLY the columns that are Editable.
C. When I counted down as far as the Column I wanted to capture the value of, Then I made a mental note of that number and used it in the following (2) Javascripts (findMaker and findModel).
3. findMaker (Minus the tags)
function findMaker (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Maker = html_GetElement('f15_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MAKER').value = Maker;
4. findModel (Minus the tags)
function findModel (pThis) {
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
var Model = html_GetElement('f16_'+vRow).value
$x('P153_MODEL').value = Model;
5. I added one more Javascript, to the Page HTML Header, that references the Application Process which will Insert the values into the "Other" table:
function popDevices(P153_SERIAL_NO,P153_BLDG_ID,P153_CLST_ID,P153_MAKER,P153_MODEL)
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=popDevices',0);
get.add('P153_SERIAL_NO',P153_SERIAL_NO);
get.add('P153_BLDG_ID',P153_BLDG_ID);
get.add('P153_CLST_ID',P153_CLST_ID);
get.add('P153_MAKER',P153_MAKER);
get.add('P153_MODEL',P153_MODEL);
gReturn = get.get();
get = null;
6. I added the "onChange" process to the Element Attributes field of the Table item which utilizes the Date-Picker:
A. Click on the Report Attributes Tab of the Region.
B. Click on the Edit icon of the column which utilized the Date-Picker
C. I added this "onChange" reference to the Element Attributes field, which is found in the Tabular Form section.
onChange="javascript:received_javaprompt();findModel(this);findMaker(this);popDevices((P153_SERIAL_NO).value,(P153_BLDG_ID).value,(P153_CLST_ID).value,(P153_MAKER).value,(P153_MODEL).value);"
7. The Application Process which inserts the collected data into the table is as follows:
(Name= popDevices: Process Point= On-Demand: Type= PL/SQL Anonymous Block)
BEGIN
Insert into P_DEVICES
BLDG_ID,
CLST_ID,
NAME,
IP_ADDRESS,
SERIAL_NO,
MAKER,
MODEL
) values
:P153_BLDG_ID,
:P153_CLST_ID,
'Unassigned',
'Unassigned',
:P153_SERIAL_NO,
:P153_MAKER,
:P153_MODEL
COMMIT;
END;
Well, I hope this may help someone else like me.
I usually arrive at my solutions by getting help here on the Discussion Forum and also Google. Google inevitably points me to a previous Apex Discussion Forum session.

Help!!! - Problem using the app store when previously used by other person

I tried to give an iphone, previously used by someone else (call them person A) who upgraded to a 3G, to another person. Everything worked fine until they went to download some free software from the app store. After pressing install, the iphone asks for itunes userid and password. Unfortunately, person A's id is filled in and there is no way I can find of resetting it. I assume this has something to do with the itunes store. Help

How can I stop iPad from starting the music app after ending a phone call when using Bluetooth headphones?

music app automatically starts after using Bluetooth headphones during a phone call

If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

IOS 7, iTunes Match, and downloads to Music -- beware of your first use

I'll explain the situation in a moment. My question for the community is if someone saw a way to avoid this from happening.
I just encountered a perfect storm when I upgraded to ios 7. So far it has cost me $230 in excess data charges.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber.
Before the upgrade to ios 7, ios 6 had an option in Settings -> Music to tell it not to use cellular data. I had cellular data for Music disabled, so many times I'd download a playlist from Match down to my phone and would start this process at home on wifi, leave, and then it would complete later that day when I hit another wifi network.
When I upgraded to ios7, there were some changes in how to control access to cellular data:
(1) Apple removed that control from the Settings -> Music UI
(2) Apple added a menu option called Settings -> iTunes and App Store. In that UI< you have the option of turning iTunes Match on or off, and at the bottom you also have the option enabling cellular data. Just below that, it says "Use cellular data network for automatic downloads and iTunes Match." One of the first things I did after the upgrade, while still on wifi, was turn cellular data off in this UI.
(3) Apple added a UI called Settings -> Cellular, and in there is a UI called "Use Cellular Data For:", and it gives you a list of apps where you can turn cellular on/off for each one individually. Right after the upgrade to ios 7, that list was very short. It didn't have Music or iTunes Match listed, only Mail, Passbook, and a few basic apps.
So after my upgrade, the only place that appeared to control downloads from iTunes Match was the menu in #2, which I had already used to disable cellular data for.
Since I had deleted all my music to make room for the upgrade, I picked a playlist that morning and told my phone to download it. It was about 1GB of music. Then I got on my bike and rode to work woth my phone buried in my bike bag. When I arrived at work, I had a series of text messages from my carrier that I had exceeded my data plan and was now getting charged .25/MB. I was at the very end of a billing month and at the start of my ride only had about 100MB left on my data plan.
So what happened?
Well, as it turns out, the menu for Use Cellular Data For: in #3 above only lists apps once they've used cellular data (except maybe the obvious ones like Mail, Passbook, etc.). And for some bizarre reason, that download wasn't considered "iTunes Match" by ios 7, it was considered a download by the Music app in ios 7. So once I got to work and dug into this, I then found that Music was now listed in the Use Cellular Data For: dialog. So what happened was that I left the house, left wifi, and the phone kept downloading that big playlist on cellular and somewhere, probably right as I was screaming down the hill from my house, the Music app showed up on Use Cellular Data For:. I did some tests with other apps and they only appear on that list AFTER you've used cellular data for them.
Learning this with any other app, or at the beginning of a billing month, would not have been an issue, but my perfect storm of being almost tapped out on my data plan when I left my home wifi network killed me.
I have already contacted my carrier about this, although it's not their fault. I personally think it's Apple's fault for (a) creating a misleading UI for #2 above, and (b) for not listing "Music" in the list of apps in the Use Cellular Data For: dialog immediately after the upgrade.
Anyone else had this problem? If not, and you are an iTunes Match user who has just upgrade to ios 7, you can easily avoid this by downloading one song from cellular to get the Music app to appear in the Use Cellular Data For: list

I am also having problems with smart playlists on OS7 iphone 4s with mountain Lion on my mac
I have two smart playlists, one for music not played in 6 months, the other for zero plays, the other criteria for the lists are media type 'music' and track time ' less than 15 minutes.
These two playlists have 619 items and 108 items respectively in my mac but on the phone it shows 2962 items (for both lists) and a cloud symbol next to the track - although scrolling down, there are some tracks that do not have the cloud symbol - these look like the original 619 and 108 in the lists
Other smart playlists are fine and appear to be not affected

Missing Artist Photo in Music App

Some of the artists with photo in iTunes Store does not show the photo in the Music App on my iPhone.
For example, if you search Mai Kuraki on iTunes Store, it shows a photo of the artist. From what I know, this means that the music app will show this photo in the artist tab. However, there are quite a few of artists who have a photo but there're not showing on the music app.
I have tried to open iTunes Store on my phone and sign out then sign in again. There's still no refresh on the music app.
I'm using iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.3

I Have the same issue. At all other views, album, song, lists, including landscape view, the artwork are visible. The only problematc view is Artist View; most of artist show the generic silver box! Any solutions????

Apple Music app landscape mode USELESS!!!

Ok, I need to bash Apple, not because I hate them...I love them an they get more of my paycheck than anyone, but update after update, Apple does nothing with the utterly useless landscape mode of a the music app!
To see all my album covers is cool, and maybe I just have too much music, but it would probably take more than 30 minutes to scroll to look for something. I can't imagine anyone can find this useful...or maybe I'm alone in my misery? Esp on my iPhone 6 plus there could be so many better ways to utilize this.
Just had to vent my unhappiness with the current way it is...hopefully one day Apple will make it better.

Submitting feedback is nice in theory, having a post that consumers can see is another.
Do you honestly think posting gripes about this will accomplish anything? If your intention is to somehow utilize this forum to force Apple's hand to improve the Music app, you're either naive or delusional. This is a technical support forum, not a place to air your gripes. This is not a technical problem that can be resolved here, so your contribution on this issue has no place here. There are countless other forums or blogs where you can spout off about how silly the Music app is, but doing so here is against the terms of use that you agreed to.
Now before you accuse me of being an Apple shill, I'll certainly admit that I too find the horizontal view of the Music app to be zero use to me. I really can't see how it could be beneficial to anyone with more than 100 albums on their device. The former carousel Apple called "Coverflow" was far more useful, where at least it would display albums in the vicinity to what you're currently listening to, and had a neat (but gimmicky) feature where the covers would shuffle like a jukebox when the album changed
There are plenty of things that Apple does that I disagree with, but the difference is that I'll use the resource that Apple provides its consumers to provide feedback. They may not take my comments into account, or maybe they will, but I'm not going to foolish to think that complaining on their technical support forum will have any impact, other than to make me look silly.
