Why can't I here my music playing?

I just purchashed an iPod nano, and when I downloaded the music on to it, but when I hit play I can't here anything

Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

Not a good idea.
What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

Why can't I listen to music and read the ny times simultaneously?

Why can't I listen to music and read simultaneously?

hmm, well have you ever tried to run the music app in the bakground before? Double click the home button and bring up the music app. Select you music and you should hear it when you switch back to your NY times.app.
You can do this. HOWEVER, never used the NY times app before. ****IF the NY times has streaming media capability, this would be why you can't listen to music simultaneously while reading.
Not all news readers have the ability to allow music in the background.
Hope this helps!

Why can't I select a Music Source - iPhoto 9.1.3?

I can't stand that awful jazzy piano accompaniment when I start a slideshow, but every time I try to change the music, ie here:
...I click on the arrows where it says "Source" & nothing happens. I've tried trashing the pref file, but it still resolutely refuses to show anything at all. I deselected "Play music during slideshow" because that jazzy piano was doing my head in!! Why can't I select some other music source?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot and launch iPhoto to try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same folder as the iPhoto preference file.

HT1751 Why can't iTunes handle a music library on an external drive?

I put all my music files on an external drive and imported them into iTunes. So far so good. The first time you run iTunes while the drive is disconnected - all your songs suddenly have that dreaded exclamation point next to them. Yes, while the drive is connected, I can still go to any song and double-click it to play; but the vast majority of songs stays "exclamated" and greyed-out. Shuffle ignores them. Even if I use some method to re-recognize all my songs, next time I open iTunes without first attaching the drive, it'll all go down the drain again.
Apple - this MacBook air is great but it only comes with 256 GB of built-in storage. I HAVE to use an external drive in order to have my music library. Why can't the MacBook recognize the drive, remember it, and know when it's connected and when it isn't?

If you mistakenly open iTunes with the drive disconnected, close iTunes, connect the drive, open iTunes, then visit iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and reset the media folder to the external drive.
Better yet is to move the iTunes library folder into the root of the external drive as <Device>/iTunes, then connect to it by holding down option as you start iTunes. Once iTunes "knows" your library is on the external drive it will complain of a missing library when you try to start with the drive disconnected. Cancel the warning, connect the drive, start iTunes.
For maximum portability you should set the media folder to <Device>/iTunes/iTunes Media and consolidate the media to that folder. You should then backup the drive to another for security.

Why can I no longer stream music on my ipad/iphone?

I own an IPhone 4s with 16GB of storage capacity and a recently purchased IPad mini 2 with 32gb of storage capacity. I am operating off of ITunes IOS 8.1.2 for my iPhone and 8.1.1 on my iPad,
As of last year I was able to import music into itunes, upload it to icloud, and then stream the song on the device without it physically (or at least permanently downloading to my phone). It would work when I was connected to the internet via wi-fi or using the data plan I have with my family plan. The first time I realized there was a problem was when I attempted to stream music after downloading IOS 8.0. As I was having other issues with my phone at the time (it not installing the IOS correctly, not recognizing songs being uploaded to the cloud, text messages not being sent to other apple users, it was low on my bucket list.) Eventually I did look into it and found that people often suggested that I ensure that I enable icloud on my phone, and in music settings I turn on 'Show all Music' and 'ITunes Match'. All of these were already selected and I saw no other solutions presented.
This problem has now extended over to my IPad and even though both are connected to a data plan and they can connect other programs that require the internet when not connected via wi-fi the songs are greyed out on the phone and simply do not play on the iPad. The symbol that allows me to download the music instead of stream it that shows up on the phone does not appear on my iPad which leaves me stuck with no way of listening to my music on my ipad if I am not connected via wi-fi.
Can someone please tell me if the streaming ability was changed to only work if the connection was through wi-fi and not through data usage? If not and there is something I have overlooked/been unable to find within other threads can someone please specify what I can do to get it to play the music?

Thanks guys, and yes, seems really weird. I hadnt merged contacts with iCloud (which is appearing to be far more trouble than its worth!) and I couldn't edit, add or delete contacts from my ipad, but as soon as I switched on this option in iCloud, they magically reappeared. I then turned it off again from mergeing with iCloud, and, for now at least, the option to edit remains!
Honestly, it really shouldn't be this difficult!
Thanks again.

Why can't i sync my music from ipod to my second computer?

I loaded all my cd's onto my MacBook iTunes library and then synched with my ipod. now i want to transfer that music from my iPod to my iMac. I deauthorized all the other computers and authorized the iMac but it will only upload the songs purchased on iTunes. What must I do to get my music onto the IMaC??

There are third-party programs like those discussed here that can transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

Why can't I sync my music without erasing my entire current iphone library???? Newly purchased MP3s don't transfer from my (authorized) laptop itunes.

My desktop no longer works where previous MP3s and CDs were downloaded. I currently use my laptop now and cannot get recently purchased MP3s to sync on my iphone 4 without erasing my current iphone library and replacing it with what is on my laptop. I've searched and experimented with every possibility (it seems) without taking the "big step" of syncing my entire library. My current iphone library has 990+ songs and my laptop itunes library only has 381. I don't want to lose what I've got already. Anybody????

-double tap home and swipe the bottom window to the left and make sure the mute button hasnt been toggled (if its set up there, might be screen lock depending on settings)
reset all settings (settings >general >reset)
if all else fails try a backup/restore
