Voice Over and the Music App

I am trying to use the voice over feature but it tries to play the music app when turned on even when the music app is not open. Can anyone help me. It is too confusing to try to hear what the screen is showing.

Force close the Music apps in the muti-task window.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

Hello gman4354,
It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
Then close the Music app on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Recntly got a new Mac and the music/apps prevsly purchased wt my apple id are not showin up on my new device.
I have auth the new mac & gone thru all the recommended steps.
The purchases do show under purchase histry in my acc info but not under Purchases in the iStore.
I did chnge the country setting recently so not sure if there is any issue that the songs/apps were purchased when registered in another country but this really shouldn't make a difference

Contact iTunes

What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.

TS2776 Updated iPhone software and lost all my contacts. Previous updates worked fine. Phone backed up, installed software and the music, apps etc, but no contacts. Have tried several times but no data at all. Any ideas?

Updated my iPhone with latest software and all my phone contacts have vanished. Phone backed up as normal, then installed software then re-installed music, apps etc, but no contacts.
Have updated software before with no issues. Have tried using tips from help page with no change - just a blank contact list.
Any ideas?

Sync via PC - Thought I'd backed up as it said it was backing up the phone. Having searched through here I see that the contacts aren't automatically saved! Why is that when everything else is?
Contacts are made to be synched to your computer or a cloud service. There is therefore no NEED to include them in your backup. Same reason iTunes media is not part of the backup. It's already on the computer.

Seems I've lost everything - Supposed to back up via Outlook address book I read - So why isn't that made obvious....?
Had you read the User Guide before using your phone, it would have been obvious.
Your data loss here is clearly user error and you have no one to blame but yourself. The User Guide CLEARLY outlines the way your phone should be used to minimize data loss.
Sorry, but it's time to put on your big boy pants and accept responsibility for your inactions.

Unable to turn off voice over and all of a sudden the touch screen is extremely slow to respond.

I am unable to turn off Siri/voice over and the touch screen is nearly unresponsive. Brought it to Best Buy to have the geeks look at it and and weren't really receptive unless I ponied up some cash for a service plan. Was hoping someone could help me out. Thanks!

- What hapens when you
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. I
- Next see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
- Then 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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi petes ipod,
Have you attempted to use different headphones or earbuds with your iPod? Does the same issue occur when you do? If so, your iPod Shuffle may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

On my iPad3, in the Music app, I can find my video playlists in my iTunes library, but they are all empty. This works fine on my iPhone4. Does anybody know what the problem is?

BACKGROUND: When I'm home, using my iPhone4 and MacPro/iTunes library, I've been watching video on my iPhone via the Home Sharing feature of the said devices. I have lots of videos in my iTunes library, so I've set up lots of video playlists to help organize stuff, and also to more quickly zone in on the video I want to watch from my iPhone and AppleTV. So here's the process I go through when I want to watch a video on my iPhone: go into the Music app, then hit the "More..." selection (along the bottom right of screen), then hit the "Shared" selection, then hit the "Bob's iTunes Library" selection, then hit the "Playlists" selection (along the bottom left of screen), then find/select the video playlist of choice, then find/select the video of choice, then start watching. Aside from the occasional spontaneous disconnect issue I've been having lately, it all works like a charm.
(NOTE: I tried the same procedure using the Videos app on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to see the video playlists in this app.)
TO THE PRESENT: So when I got my shiny new iPad3 this Monday, the very first thing I did was try to replicate this process on the iPad3. Because both the Videos app and the Music app look very different on the iPad vs their iPhone counterparts, I tried this using the Videos app first, but ran into the same problem as on the iPhone - there's no way (as far as I can tell) to view/access the video playlists in this app – all I see are icons, one for each video. I then tried the Music app, and steps are identical to the iPhone version. I got as far as getting to see my playlists, and then selecting the video playlist of interest, but once there, no videos are in the playlist, only a single song(??). In fact, none of the video playlists have any video files in them (some have song tracks??).

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

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.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help. This is preventing me upgrading the iPad2 to iOS5 for a blind man I work with. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...

Voice Over and Music App

I am trying to use the voice over feature but it causes the music app to start playing even when it is not open. I had my friend check it out and she said the music app is closed when this happens. It's too confusing to try and hear what I'm touching with the music playing.

Turn off repeat.
This is covered in the manual.

VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

How do I put these songs and videos onto the Music App?

How do I load mp3 content, videos, and other content from applications onto the music app? For example, I have applications such as Video Hunter Pro that downloads youtube videos, but how do I put the videos or audio track into my Music app? I don't want to constantly switch apps. For iTunes on all devices.

Only items directly downloaded from iTunes Store or synced over from iTunes on a computer can be placed in the music or video app.
