Why won't my new iPhone 4 play most of my music?

I just got my phone last week and now most of my music isn't playing when it says it is?

Couple of things you could try.  The first is force quitting the Music app: double-tap the home button, locate Music in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, finish by tapping the home button.  Open Music and see if it works now.  If not, you might want to try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), the sync it all back on.

  • Why won't my new iPhone 5s synch/backup to my MacBook Pro, after activating it successfully on the same computer?

    Hello! Thanks in advance for your help!!
    I successfully launched/started my new iPhone 5s about 3 weeks ago on my MacBookPro. Then recently I tried to synch it/back it up for the first time onto my computer since the 5s was activated.  
    Unfortunately, it only asks me if I would like to back it up again from my old 4s backup (which I don’t want to do, as I now have a lot of new info on the 5s) - or the second option available is to restore it as a new phone.  
    How do I get this Mac and/or iTunes to register this 5s phone has already been connected and launched via this computer, and to just SYNCH it or back it up?
    …OR - if I did restore it as a new phone, wouldn’t I lose everything and have to start again?
    Currently on OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, iTunes 11.1.5, iPhone 5s iOS 7.1
    All tips gratefully received - can not find solutions on internet
    xx

    I think you are confusing Backup and Restore. An iPhone Backup takes the information on your phone and puts it on your computer as a database that can be later restored to the phone. Only app and operating system data are backed up to the database. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 for a list of everything included in a backup. Music and apps are NOT included in the backup because that would be duplication. iTunes music and apps are always available to restore to your iPhone from your iTunes library on your computer or from Apple's servers. Music from other sources (CDs and MP3s from other sites) have to be on your computer, because that is the only way to transfer them to your iPhone.
    Restore takes the backup that is on your computer and copies it to the iPhone, overwriting everything on the iPhone.
    Photos are a special case. The iPhone includes a digital camera. It works the same way as any other digital camera; you connect the phone to your computer and it will appear as a camera device, separately from iTunes. You can use iPhoto or any other photo app to copy the images off the iPhone's Camera Roll to your computer for safekeeping and editing. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 for examples.

    You do not want to "synch" your 5S to your Mac. You want to BACK UP your 5S to your Mac. Connect the iPhone to your computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click the Backup button.
    AFTER this completes you can then sync your music and other iTunes content from your computer to your Mac. As you have now have a current backup (rather than a 3 week old backup) your content will be safe.
    You should also back up to iCloud. This is an automatic process once set up; the phone will be backed up to iCloud whenever it is connected to power and has a WiFi connection. To enable this go (on the phone) to Settings/iCloud. Click on Storage & Backup and enable iCloud backup. Once set up it will happen automagically without your having to think about it.

  • Why won't my new iPhone 6 connect to some bluetooth devices automatically?

    I purchased my iPhone 6 (64GB) last month and have been having trouble with it connecting to bluetooth devices ever since. I have to most up-to-date software (8.1.2). I listen to a lot of music and have multiple bluetooth accessories that I use to connect with my phone for playback. Because of this I always leave the iPhone's bluetooth turned on. The main problem I've been experiencing is automatically connecting to devices that have already been paired and saved to the phone's "My Devices" list. I drive a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek and while I had my iPhone 5 (with iOS8) I could hop in the car, turn it on, and since the bluetooth in the phone and car were both already turned on (and had previously been paired) they would automatically connect and I'd be listening to music immediately. Now, with my iPhone 6, that does not happen. I get in my car, turn it on, and with bluetooth turned on in the phone and the car I get no automatic connection. If I go into my phone's settings and manually select my car's bluetooth sometimes it will make a connection. Other times it won't and I actually have to forget the car on my phone and re-pair the two devices. (Once the phone is finally paired the bluetooth connection works perfectly.) This is extremely time consuming and annoying, and most definitely not the way these products are meant to function. I've tried lots of different ways to get around this. I've reset the phone's network settings, and have done a full system restore. At this point I'm not sure what else I could do other than going in and talking to someone at a Genius Bar. Has anyone else had this issue?

  • Why won't my new iphone 5 sync my text messages from my old iphone 4S

    I have managed to sync all other items on to my iphone5 but the texts are not syncing. I also cannot find a section under the sync options to select texts messages - I thought this would automatically transfer from the backup of the content of my old iphone 4S.
    Anyone know how to sync old texts messages across?
    Thanks!

    YOu don't sync text message, they are part of your backup.  IF you backup your 4s and restored your 5 from that backup, text message should be on your new phone.

    Have you got a friend who has the same phone, you could try to use their adapter and see if you could get it fixed. Also you could upgrade the iOS5 see if it fixes the issue. http://www.itjungles.com/iphone-tips/iphone-4s-update-to-ios5-to-fix-battery-pow er-issue

    Why won't my new Airport Extreme recognize my USB external hard drive.  I put a USB port on the base station, and the system recognizes my printer.  When I click on disks - it lists my printer, and when I click on Printers it lists my printer.  What do I need to do to get it to recognize the external drive?  BTW, the MacBook recognizes it, no problem.  I have erased it and reformatted it.  I am running the new Lion OS.  Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, I saw a post on one of these threads about a powered USB hub so I ran over to Office Depot and picked one up.  I was finally able to see the HD in the Airport Utility.  Yay! 

  • I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today.  Why and how can I fix this?

    I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today.  I have over 14,000 songs.  Almost ALL of them have exclamation points next to them and when I try to play them, a window saying error type 9044 appears and tells me the files cannot be located.
    Why and how can I fix this?

    Do you keep your files on an external drive?  If so, it helps to know this in advance.

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:

    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?
