Why isn't the Music app on my iPad organized as well as iTunes on my iMac? I'm running Mavericks on the iMac and IOS7 on an iPad air.

Oveer the years I have carefully organized my iTunes albums, songs and playlists the way I want them. And they are organized that way on my iMac. But in the Music app on my iPad some albums have been combined into one and others have their artwork missing. What's going on? How can I fix it?

I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

Is there a scrollbar feature in the Music app on my iPod?

I have a few audio books that I'm listening to and each 'track' is well over an hour long. Annoyingly, every now and then my iPod loses it's spot and it starts me from the beginning again, so I need to hold my finger on the fast-foward screen button for ages until I get to the point I was up to. So I notice that there is a volume slider control above the rewind/play/fast forward icons at the bottom of the Music app's screen while I'm listening. Given that I already have physical volume buttons on the side of the iPod, is there a way to reconfigure the slider on the bottom of the screen as a scrollbar so I can quickly go to any point in the track? Or is there some other way to easily do what I want?

I think that cloud privacy concerns are overdone - especially with Apple who don't have a vested interest in snooping through your data like Google does!
Do you use email? It's stored in the cloud on the providers servers - no matter who the provider is.
Do you use SMS on a phone? They're stored on a server somewhere!
Do you use the internet? The logs are stored at your ISP for some period of time - tracking everywhere you've been.
Thats why I am comfortable to use iCloud for most of my documents. If I want to transfer files very securely, I put them in an encrypted disk image on Dropbox.

Does the EQ setting affect only audio played from the Music app?

Does the EQ setting in Settings -> Music affect only audio played from the Music app or does it also affect any other audio? Specifically, I'd like to know if the setting is applied to audio podcasts that are played from Downcast. Thanks!
--VV

They will only affect the Music app.

Why isn't there a shuff sellection on the genres playlists in the music app?

I have a hard time trying to figure out what or who I want to listen to all the time so I like to shuffle a Genre. Before IOS 7 I could go into the music app, go to a specific genre and stuff and artists and songs by touching the stuff button. I have realize that in IOS 7 that option is no longer there and the only way to do so is to ask Siri. the only problem is if I don't have service at the time or I must be descrete, asking Siri is not an option. is there a plan to place to stuff button back into the genre play lists?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play. That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app. It should work just fine, it does work ok for me on iphone 5. The original question was to play music videos in the music app. Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not. I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found. There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before.
The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play. There is simply no way to categorize or group videos. The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple. It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos. And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist. Actually it is getting worse. Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area.
Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
What is happening here???

Why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

Try in order:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup
Based on the info you provided it appears you did the restore from backup and sitll have problems. Thus, I would just restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why is the music app so awful

I probably just dont know how to use it and there arent any settings that I can find, but the tile switching thing it does drives me crazy! Why is that something that I cannot turn off?
When listening to music, the phone goes to this tile thing that shows a bunch of albums, but there isnt any easy way I can find to get back to what is playing. There arent any buttons or swipes I have been able to find to get back to it, then if I set down and pick it up it start this portrait to landscape switching thing where I turn it one way and it moves another and so on. The only way to get back to something normal is to back out and restart music, which is the opposite of easy and intuitive.
What am I doing wrong, there are so many things with this phone that are just hard to use that Im not sure what the hype about Apple designs are. I dont have time to research how to use an "intuitive" device and I have had this phone for a couple years and it is just not very good, but it is what my work hands out so it is what I have.
If anyone has any real suggestions on what to do with the music app I would really appreciate it.

Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

Why can't I see the airplay icon in the music app or control centre on my Iphone 4 running ios7? I can see it in the movie app

I've seen something yesterday that says Airplay in control centre is only for Iphone 4S and onwards. It's frustrating when they take something away without any obvious reason. I'm going to change back to IOS6 until it's sorted out.
I also tried connecting to bluetooth and only once I'm connected does an icon show up in control centre. There's no direct way to connect to a device from control centre on the Iphone 4 from the looks of it.

After downloading ios 6 to my ipad 3 , I can't see the pics of many of my purchased albums when I first open up the Music app. Why? And when I click on the actual album, it shows the pics.

After a while it start to work.... No problems.

The Music App in iOS7 is an annoying step back - Why?

As a whole, I appreciate the design and functionality changes within iOS7. It's breathed new life into the OS, given people something new to explore and talk about.
But Apple seem to have lost their way when it comes to the basics of playing some music on an iPhone. It's become fiddly, complicated, fragmented and regressed - iOS6 had the right balance
Why? Well, based on personal experience and comments made by colleagues, friends etc, the most regular complaints are..
-- Why have users been forced to listen to podcasts in the separate app? Apple - not everyone listens to spoken word podcasts. We listen to music mixes etc.. Having those mixes in the SAME PLACE as our other music makes it a more seamless experience. Switching apps is a ball-ache
-- Why can't we delete entire Albums in one swipe any more? Track by track, is again, a ballache
-- The controls to scrub through tracks are tiny and barely usable. iOS6 allowed you to scrub and see the slider under your finger - now you have a tiny red line that leads to inaccurate movement thru tracks
-- Music control while the phone is locked is very very frustrating in iOS7 in a few ways...
1) iOS6 - you could double click the home button, the controls (large) would appear on screen. You could hit play and instantly listen to some shuffled music. In iOS7 - you have to swipe up,hit play then hope it starts a track (which it doesnt always do)
2) The above isnt too much of an issue when the phone is on a desk in front of you, or in your hand... but when you're using the phone while running, the clunky process is unhelpful and unintuitive. If you use an arm band to hold your iphone while you exercise try dragging the control centre up, selecting the music app and playing a track while you've got a plastic cover over the screen - it's nigh on impossible
3) You cant enter the music app unless there's a track already playing - why isnt Music.app quickly accessible from Control Centre? I'd use that more than a stopwatch
3) There's no indication that a track is playing unless you open control centre. Where has the triangular 'play' icon gone in the taskbar?
-- In Album view, the coverart icons are too large- takes longer to scroll thru a collection of albums, especially as the alphbetical slider on the right hand side of the screen is smaller and omits every other letter
Overall, the app is flawed / too skewed toward the purchase of media via the iTunes store
I doubt very much whether Apple will read this post or listen to customer feedback and deviate from their design vision. Apple regularly claim they identify a customer need and fulfill it - would be good if they were good to their word on this particular aspect of iOS7

Which is a horrible app that shows every **** podcast you subsctribe to, whether or not you have a new episode, and doesn't let you arrange them properly to only show unplayed episodes. It's also a completely needless app since the Music app handles podcasts just fine.

Why doesn't the music app show the album artwork?

When I open the music app, everything is fine, all except for some albums are missing thier artwork. The funny thing is, when you tap on the album, and it flips up and shows all the songs in that album, the album artwork shows up on the side, but when you go back to the albums, the artwork isn't there again. I know that the artwork isn't avaliable sometimes, but in this case, the artwork is there somewhere, because it shows up when you open the album. Is there some way I can get it back? Thanks

Sync with iTunes on your computer selecting to remove the affected albums from your iPad and then sync again selecting to move them back to the iPad.
