Why is my iphone only playing purchased music after updating to ios8

My iphone 5c is only playing songs that I have bought on iTunes. My phone is skipping over any other songs and having them appear as though they are currently playing. It started doing this a week after I updated my phone to ios8.

Seriously, check your settings and volume. I just tried it on my 4S and it works fine.
Go into Settings, Maps and check that the volume is on. Also check to make sure you have not muted the phone somehow.

Hi
I have the excact same problem, however the problem is in my case not the upgrade in Frontrow, as the trouble was present before aswell. Everything works fine for me ONCE, but if i return to my desktop after having activated frontrow, and then reactivate it, i get the same error as you. I can solve the problem by Quiting FR and then relaunching it again, but this is not acceptable.

Unable to play purchased music after successfully authorize computer

Cannot play purchased music:
Prompted for id and password (Authorize Computer).
Next prompt notifies me that the "Machine Authorization was Successful".
Does nothing.
Double click on song again - repeat Authorize Computer.

Also having exactly the same problem.
I've followed the same steps with the same results.
Even check for the number of authorized computer : only one.
Tried to remove authorization and give it again : no change.
Still unable to listen to the tracks bought on the iTunes Store. It was possible the day I bought them and they have been transferred to the iPod through iTunes.
I have listened to those tracks on my iPod for a few days.
But when reconnecting today (first time since the date of purchase), I cannot listen to those purchased tracks anymore and they seem to have been removed from my iPod by iTunes !!!
This was my first purchase on iTunes Store and it's a very bad experience. Unable to listen to music I've bought !
Could someone give us all an issue, please ?!

My iPhone can only display and play purchased songs after updating to 8.1.3

After updating to 8.1.3, all of my songs refuse to even show up on my iPhone if they were not purchased on the iTunes store. I should have about 5 gbs of music on my phone but I only see 7 songs I purchased from albums in the iTunes store. I tried synching to iTunes, re-adding music, restoring it. This was not a problem until I updated the iOS. How do I get this fixed?

did u ever find an answer?

IPod won't play purchased music after upgrading.....

Help -
My boss has the 30g video IPod. He has upgraded his Itunes software to 7.0 and also upgraded his IPod to 1.2 (whatever the newest version is). He is not having the problems I have seen others are having but the issue he is having is that his IPod will not play his purchased music.
I did find this article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303854) on the website and have tried everything it suggests to fix it. All the software is up-to-date, we have deauthorized and reauthorized his computer, and I have followed the instructions to recreate the Itunes Library. Still the songs won't play - he can navigate to the folder of purchased music on the IPod and it will let him hit play but it will just display the song and album cover and then keep skipping to the next song - never actually playing the song.
Can anyone please give me some advice for what else to try? If all else fails he would like to just restore his IPod and go back to ITunes 6.0. I tried this by uninstalling ITunes 7 and then installing 6 again but when I open 6 it says it can not be opened because the library was created by a newer version of ITunes. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have this exact same problem since I bought my new 80GB iPod.
All purchased songs play fine in iTunes on my Mac but they just skip past each track when I try to play on my iPod. As mentioned above I have tried the advice Apple give and have restored my iPod and recreated library but I still have the same problems.

Ipod mini won't play purchased music after not plugged in

iPod mini, Windows XP system (sorry).
If iPod is plugged into the computer at least once every couple of days, everything's fine.
But if the iPod is left unplugged for more than 3 days, it skips over all the purchased music.
Copied music works fine. Just the purchased music.
Just updated to latest ipod software, no joy.
This has got to be an ipod software bug -- or perhaps a really dumb "misfeature". Has anyone else seen this?
Windows XP

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

HT204406 Lost purchased music after update

Hi,
I updated my iphone just last week after 11 months of not updating. I have just noticed that since the update I have lost music that I have purchased from itunes. I don't know how much music is missing, however it seems to be quite a bit of recently purchased music. How can I retrieve this music? When I go onto iTunes and look at songs I know I have purchased it says "buy now" not "install" or "download" so it looks like it will charge me again of I try. I won't be impressed at all if I have to purchase all the music I'm missing again. Not only that, I don't know how much music is missing.
Please tell me there is a way to get it all back!

Why is it not in your itunes library? If you purchase any content on your phone, you MUST File>Transfer purchases to get the content into your itunes library. The itunes content sync is ONE WAY: computer to phone. You can re-download purchased apps for free. For the rest of your purchased content, contact itunes support, plead your case, beg...they "may" let you re-download it, but the decision is theirs:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
For future reference: the iphone should NOT be used as a storage device, things can & will happen. If you purchase content on your phone, ALWAYS File>Transfer Purchases as soon as possible. Likewise, your itunes library should be regularly backed up.

Lost all my purchased music after update!

I recently purchased the software update for my iPod touch, and have now lost all of my purchased music from my iTunes. How can I get it back?

Your music is normally stored in your iTunes library (which is how it was originally synced to your phone) and syncing with iTunes would transfer it back to your phone. If it isn't in your iTunes library your only option is to re-import it and then sync it to your phone. Music has never been included in the iPhone backup. (When you restore an iCloud backup it merely redownloads your purchased music from the iTunes store.)
------But my music from ripped CDs and playlists are now missing from my iTunes library on my commuter too after I upgraded/downloaded the latest iTunes version that was suggested. 11.0 I think? So if I don't have the CDs to rip again, the music is pretty much lost then huh?

Why is my iPhone 4 maps not talking after updating to iOS6

After updating my iPhone 4 with iOS 6, I tried out the new Maps app and I noticed that there was no voice guidiance. Is the voice guidiance only works on iPhone 4S and 5?

Seriously, check your settings and volume. I just tried it on my 4S and it works fine.
Go into Settings, Maps and check that the volume is on. Also check to make sure you have not muted the phone somehow.

HT1688 Why is My iPhone 4 is extremely slow after updated to ios7

My Iphone 4 is basically impossible to use after updating it to ios7. When I type a text message I have timed it taking up to 45 seconds before any letters show up. It also is very slow if I am typing in safari for a website.

I did too. I went to Settings > iCloud > Documents and Data, then turned off documents and data, and now it is back to normal. Apparently you cannot take advantage of both on the iphone 4 and 4s.

Iphone 5 slow wi-fi after update to ios8

My iPhone 5 has a slow wi-fi speed or not working at all after upgrading to ios8. My other apple devices including a iPhone 4s works normal. Also the pc from which i am typing now has no problem with the wi-fi. I try-ed to reset to network settings but still the same. When i try to run an internet test with the "speet test" app, it says Latency Test Failed...
Anybody in the same pain as me?

HT4623 my iphone only displays apple icon after updating my phone

I updated my OS on my Iphone4, Now all I get is the apple Icon
Any advice greatle appreciated

Two options for you. First just try holding down the power button and the home button simultaneously until something happens. If that doesn't work, then plug your iPhone into iTunes and see what it says.

Why will my Iphone 5 not send texts after update to OS7?

After upgrading to OS7 for the Iphone 5 stop sending texts. It indicates they send but they do not. I put the sim card in another Iphone still running OS6 and the messages send.

I'm having the same problem. 90% of my texts aren't being sent. This was never a problem before I updated to iOS7. Is there no solution for this?
