When I click on the music icon the screen is just black.

Can anyone help. I just bought an album from itunes and now when i click on the music icon the screen just goes black, still with the time in the corner.

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • When I click my home page icon the tab this is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens.

    when I click my home page icon the tab that is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens. How do I stop the new tab from appearing?

    It's easy to add extra tabs to your set of home pages. You can use the Options dialog to make sure there is only one. These articles point the way:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Because the space is short, you may want to select the whole home page URL (Ctrl+A) and paste it into a document or into a larger textbox like the one I'm typing in now. You're looking for a vertical bar (|) that is followed by a second URL.
    If it's not part of your home page setting, the most likely cause for this change is a bad add-on that rode along with some free software.
    I suggest starting here:
    Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible).
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that shut down the extra tab?

    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

  • When I click on the music icon, the orange one , all I get is a black screen , please help

    When I click on the music icon , all I see is a black screen , it was working perfectly before and I haven't done anything different that I know of ?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

    How can I locate my iTunes library files?  When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

    Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
    1. Delete old Library file
    2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
    3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension -  'iTunes Library'
    You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

  • I can't play music on my iPad, every time I click the music icon, the screen goes blank and goes back to my home screen...how can I fix this?

    I cant play music on my iPad? The music icon does not work...

    Quit the music app completely and try it again. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Try the app again.
    Or ....
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Itunes wont launch. I just installed itunes on Windows 7 PC. When i click the itunes icon the following message appears - "The itunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created..."

    I just installed itunes on a Windows 7 PC. When I click on the Itunes icon the following message appears -
    The Itunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "Itunes" folder in the "Music" folder.
    I have checked and there is a file named Library.itl in the "Music" folder. I'm not sure where to go from here so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page?

    When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page? When clicking on the Icon sometimes it will flash to the right of my desktop screen but does not open for access.

    Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.
    I have tried a several times to repairing permissions, restarting the mac, relaunched Finder, but no difference.
    I copied the download folder to the dock...there I can open the files, but not deleting them or copying them.
    When I open finder, then I click on the folder Download, after a while of thinking, it throws me out and back to the desktop.
    already tried to sign in with the guest user account, then I am able to open the download folder.(but not seeing my files)
    When I am trying to change the download folder in Safari, it also throws me out and gives me a error report ,for sending to Apple.
    I think it's a settings fault or i think my download folder is locked. Almost desperat, already called support center,
    They couldn't help, for free, due the 90 days free online help i have reached. If I want to solve this problem, they could try it , but it cost me almost 50 euros.
    hope there is someone, who's knowing this problem.
    By the way, I think it also could be that I dragged some downloaded music to the desktop, and dragged some folder that has the settings. Now its changed???
    Or I was downloading something, and deleted the files in the download folder while it was unpacking and reparing the files.
    It's not easy for a beginner Mac user (3 months) to already solve this problems.
    Can you follow me? And seems this problem familiar to you?
    Thanks in advance

  • Where can I find the music I just transferred from my Windows library to my mini? When I claick on the music icon, nothing shows up. Manual proves useless. :{

    Where can I find the music file I THINK I just downloaded from my Windows library to my ipad? Watched the progress unfold on my PC, but once is was completed,  when I click on the music icon on the mini desktop, it does not pull up the file. Manual proved usleess. :{

    I installed iTunes on my PC ( not a Mac )
    I connected my mini to my computer with cord
    I turned on my mini
    I opened iTunes on my desktop
    I clicked everywhere, but no prompts told me what to do this time!
    Sorry, but I can't remember how hubby originally managed to make popup appear on my computer screen that allowed me to transfer music from my hard drive/desktop to my mini.
    Calling the Apple store was fruitless....wading through interminable menu; put on hold; connecting to helper, then immediately being put on hold; finally disconnected.
    Just want to know the first step after all of the above and I can PROBABLY take it from there..........

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6.  I manually manage videos and music.  My video playlists(which I can access via the music icon) are there but my videos aren't.  I can see the videos when tapping the videos icon so I know they are there. Any ideas?

    I've upgraded my 4th gen ipod to ios6.  I manually manage videos and music as it is easier to access my videos through playlists which I access through the music icon.  Since upgrading to ios6 the playlists are there but when I go into them the individual videos aren't visible.  I know they are there because I can access them through the videos icon.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

    Does it still turn on to the Apple logo?
    If it does, turn it on and hold it up to your ear. If it's making a clicking sound, try hitting it easy a few times on the side. The idea is the hdd is "stuck" and hitting it loosens it. Just don't do it too hard to break it.

  • Using my ipad2 the music icon is returning to the home screen when I touch it?

    WHen I open the music icon it returns to the home page after about half a second.

    Try closing the Music app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
