Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
Perfection!

  • Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone 5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check marks for each of the songs that were not successfully synced.

    Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check mark in iTunes for the songs that are not properly syncing.

    I've continued tests on different films, and tried my entire collection. I've found about two dozen that will play fine on the PC, but will not cooperate when streamed to either Apple TV or my iPad. I tried several more tests with the audio, and that turned out not to be a factor -- I could not replicate that on another test.
    I wonder if something in the header of these files is corrupted or a flag is set incorrectly or something along those lines, as the data appears to be fine -- it's just not "handshaking" with my streaming hardware and/or the Apple Home Sharing code that powers it.
    Is there any way for me to "scrub" these files and amend their headers, or get into the file and tinker with that info by hand?

  • Why won't some of the songs on my iPhone show me who the song is by?

    On my iphone, I go to my music and play a song and when I click on it, it will only show the artist. It will not show what the song is called. This happens to quite a lot of my songs and I'm getting really irritated with it.

    Obviously the ones I bought from itunes aren't like that. Some of them I use youtube and convert it to vidtomp3. But when I first started doing that, the songs were fine. So I don't think that's the issue. I just don't know why it happens to some songs and not others.

  • Why won't some of my songs show up on playlists?

    I recently decided to reorganize my playlists. I put as many songs as I wanted in the playlists on iTunes, but when I synced my iPod, only about a third of the songs show up in the playlists on my iPod. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks!

    Hi James -- I really have not used the @me.com, nor the @icloud.com (those were set up for me by Apple). The ones that go to my HP are the gmail.com and the aol.com ones. Interesting that, when my HP is shut down, THEN the emails come to my iPad3 and iPhone5. Maybe I need to take everything into Apple and have them look at my settings?

  • Why won't some of my apps work after I did an update for my iPad?

    it has been three days since I did an update that was recommended from my general section of my iPad, now I can not use an application or two as well as most others are not working correctly. I have tried to restart my system but it still is acting up. Can anyone help?

  • Why won't iTunes sync with Iphone 4s after upgrade?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.7.0.21, now my iPhone 4s will not sync via iCloud or my computer.  When I plug the phone in, it starts a sync session like normal but it will not complete the sync.  I get an error message that says "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "Scotty's" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone.  Yet, the phone shows up in iTunes.

    I'm having the same issue.  iTunes sees my iPhone 4 and I can access the contents via itunes, but the sync won't work - it starts to sync, then states, "waiting for sync to start," then after a few minutes ends up with an error, stating, "The iPhone "XXXX" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  This happens whether I try to sync with iCloud or my computer.
    I tried rebooting the iPhone, rerstarting the computer (Mac Pro with 10.8.1), switching out the cable - all to no effect.
    I downloaded iOS 6, but I didn't want to install it until I can successfully perform a backup with my computer - just in canse iOS 6 install fails.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Why won't Firefox open a second tab after upgrading to version 30?

    I run Windows 7 Pro. Up until the latest auto update I could clcik the plus sign on the tab and open new tabs. Won't work now. Please advise.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Why won't itunes launch on my mac after upgrading ...

    there's only troubleshooting for windows vista, can anyone help me here? it loads, but then nothing open, but the toolbar is visible, however when i click on something, nothing happens, and when i go back to what i clicked on, it's not longer available, it's grayed out, and the only way to shut down is to force quit, and this only happened a few days ago when i upgraded to version 8, helppppppppppp

    i figured out how to fix this problem on my own, go to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1743954&tstart=0, follow the directions in the order they appear, for me uninstalling 8.0.1 and reinstalling 7.7.1 worked for me, and personally i like it better, and i shouldn't have upgraded.
    no restart is necessary between disk verifications and repairs, and if you can't empty your trash with 8.0.1 in it, just disk repair again and it will automatically delete itself, at least that's what happened on my iMac, i never had this issue on my PowerBook, so there you, it pays not to wait on Apple support.

  • Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

    Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

    I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
    "Sorry, something went wrong.
    This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
    Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
    Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
    Thanks.

  • Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes?

    Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes? Other photos taken with same camera sync fine from iPhoto while certain events are inexplicably incompatible. I've recently foundvthecsame occurrence with certain mp3s and videos from iTunes.

    For photos try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • Some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0

    some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
    have upgraded and some songs which used to play on iTunes 7 no longer play. album art is missing. when trying to play on of these songs, nothing appears in the playbar at the top of the window.
    it seems the same problem exists in the mac os environment.

    The solution I discovered to fix this problem was to create a smart playlist with all song of a kind containing MPEG. Then I went through album by album, and coverted ID3 tags using the value of NONE. This then enabled me to play the songs in iTunes 8.0 and in many cases restored the Album Art.
    Thanks!
