Why will music not play on my iPhone?

None of my music is playing on iTunes from my phone.  It works on my computer, but only about 4 songs will play on my phone.  I have tried restarting my phone and syncing it to the computer and the music will still not work.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

My problem was that the voice tracks on my iTunes files AND TuneIn Radio were at extremely low volume, while the background tracks were OK. Raising the volume to max made the voice tracks barely audible, but then the rest was garbled. This was the first time I played music since upgrading to iOS 6 (iPhone 4 (CDMA)). Just to do something, I went to Settings/Music and toggled a few of the ON-OFF settings, e.g., Volume Limit, EQ, etc. When I went back to play music, all was well. IN ADDITION, the sound quality and R-L separation seem much improved. I suspect a reset would have accomplished the same.(?)
I have not seen any reports of any iOS 6 changes in audio decoding, but it seems like there are.
Anybody have a clue?

  • Why will Safari not play MP3s embedded in my iWeb pages when Firefox can?

    One would have thought that if iWeb was going to get picky over the scenarios in which it would behave correctly, it would favour Apple-centric enviroments. But this doesn't appear to be the case when building an iWeb site with embedded MP3 files.
    The published site behaves perfectly when viewed in Firefox and yes, even IE's latest incarnation. Files may take a while to download but they play when the download has finished. Safari is a different story. The MP3 files embedded in some pages simply will not play when viewed with Safari.
    This page in particular has never worked in Safari -

    A small blue questionmark appears instead of the 'Play' button.
    Any workarounds or is it just the case that Safari and iWeb are incompatible on this fundamental point???

    Well it looks as though I answered my own question. A Google search revelas that Safari has had over 2 years' history of reported problems with the mp3 format -
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=safari+wont+play+mp3&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=nkulT9_wA82g8gOPj8ntBA
    - and the solution is... STOP USING MP3 FILES
    Yes, mp3 format is out, mp4 format is in. SO I'll need to upload MP4 versions of my audio files and then retry.

  • Why will iTunes not play certain MP3s?

    I have a lot of music, and most of the music files are .mp3s.
    iTunes lets me import the great majority of these files, some of these won't play in iTunes and so also can't be put onto my iPod.
    I tried to convert the files using various software and even Adobe Audition can't open the files.
    I can't see why this is happening and the only way these files can be sorted is when you hover over the files with cursor and no information about them appears such as the song title, album title, or bit rate etc... and they cannot be renamed.
    VLC player can play them however.
    If anybody can tell me what is going on and how I could go about getting them on iTunes that would be great.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Windows Media Player can't open the file either.
    Have you got any suggestions for file conversion programs, I have tried Total Video Converter and Adobe Audition but they can't even open the file never mind convert it.
    Knowing that VLC can play it gives me some hope that it can be converted somehow, but nothing I have tried has worked.
    Any help would be great.

  • Why will Divx not play video with sound on Firefox but will play with sound on Chrome?

    Divx will play web based movies with both sound and audio on Chrome.
    Divx will only play video on Firefox.
    I have removed and reinstalled Divx on my computer.
    I have a desktop computer running Vista.
    I just became aware of this problem yesterday. In the past I have had no problem running these videos on Firefox with both sound and video.

    I was having this problem with videos at home yesterday as well.
    I also saw this conversation [http://veehd.com/forum/viewtopic?f=523714] and it may be a codec issue? No one confirmed this yet.

  • Why will Siri not work on my iPhone 4s?

    I've had my iPhone 4s for a while now, actually, it used to be my Dad's, but I just realized hoe useful Siri was and I help down the Home button for a while and Voice Control came up, so I went to enable Siri, and there's wasn't even a Siri tab to enable her. Can I have some help?

    Hello officialtgimc,
    I read your post, and it sounds as through you need some guidance concerning Siri. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on Siri and some additional features:

  • Why will music not open on my iPad?

    For the last week or so, whenever I open the music app on my iPad all I see is a blank library screen for a second and then the app closes itself. I have tried pressing the home button twice and closing all open apps, rebooting the iPad several times and connecting the iPad to my laptop to see if that helps. None of this has worked. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Take the tick out of Manually Manage in summary tab.  Go to Music, Films, Podcasts, etc tabs and recheck your sync options are as you want them to be. Then right click your device at left of iTunes page on your PC and click sync - it may be better if you have your device connected by cable to speed up any resyncing operations.  Test your Music App.
    If you still have problems.  Disconnect your device.
    Navigate to Settings\General\Reset of your ipad and select Reset all Settings.  Close iTunes on your PC while this is being done.  When the reset is finished, open iTunes and reconnect the cable, allow the sync to complete.
    It may be necessary just to go through your ipad settings afterwards to ensure any non defult settings are put back how you want them.  Perform a backup and sync when finished all operations.
    If Music App is still not performing correctly, IE closing straight away, then it may be necessary to restore your device's firmware.  Come back and let me know how you get on.
    Best wishes, Nick

  • Why will Firefox NOT play videos, yet IE will??

    If I can't find help here for Firefox, where can I?

    When you load a web page with a clip / video / audio, what happens?
    Does the page load? Is the area for the player created? Does anything
    happen in the player? Is this one site or everywhere?
    PS, you have the latest Shockwave player.
    With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer
    enabled until you enable it.
    Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
    Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
    On the left side of the page, select '''Plugins.'''
    Go thru the list and set each to '''Ask To Activate'''
    BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.

    Check to make sure you are not typing your message in the Subject line.  If you are, it won't let you send the message.  Cut and paste the message into the Message field and you should be all set.
    FYI, you can disable the Subject line from your messages in Settings/Messages.
