Why won't the iOS 5 Music App show lyrics that I added to iTunes?

The iOS 5 Music App won't allow you to view lyrics.

I just did some poking around on other Apple forums here and found a recommendation for an app which actually does take the embedded lyrics from iTunes and display them on the iPad. It's been around since November, so I don't know why I never saw it before. I'm posting the information about it on several threads so that others are aware of it. It's called Lyrics View and it works well. The only quibbles I have with it are that it doesn't display the title, which the Music app used to do automatically, and when you switch out of the current song it takes you to Songs rather than Artists or Albums, so you have to change to Artists if you want to hear someone else.
It also displays the lyrics with the first lines all the way at the top of the screen, so they are sometimes hard to see behind the progress indicator, but you can make the indicator disappear with a click.
At least there's a workaround until Apple fixes this, assuming that they do.

Why won't the Axis yahoo app show on my home page on my iPad as the other apps?

That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
installed on the
user's computer it can't display in their browser. You are
best to stay with
commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in
your CSS. Start

Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

Please ONCE AGAIN re-add podcasts to the iOS music app

I don't know why you feel the need to continue to try to separate my podcasts from my music, app-wise. You don't on the Mac - iTunes happily does both! I have a lot of podcasts, so i do NOT want to store them in the cloud. I listen to them on my computer (where I download and manage them) and on my phone, and I want to be able to listen to them within the same app as I do music. It was working. I liked it. Your podcast app is cludgey at best, and separating the podcasts out didn't work well last time you tried it. I wish you would have asked someone outside of your company before inflicting this decision upon us again. Please put them back into the music app.

I use the Nike+ running app that accesses my podcast playlist on the Music app while I am running. This latest update of iOS now does not let me keep my podcast playlist on my Music app. Ridiculous!!! Why did Apple change this?? I can no longer use my podcast playlist WITH Nike+, because Nike+ can not access the new, not improved, Podcast app.
Please for the love of all who buy and use Apple products, don't take our freedom away to set up our iPhones the way that we want them set up! Please add Podcasts back to the Music app.....PLEASE!!!!!!
FRUSTRATED!

Why won't the new Photos app accept JPG files from my Kodak Easy Share like iPhoto did?

Why won't Photos accept JPG files from my camera like IPhoto did?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Music App showing artists that aren't really on my phone

I updated to IOS 7 (unfortunately) and now my music app lists a single track from several artists that I've never had on my phone or even had on my computer or cloud. When clicking on the song, it just gives me the option to download it from the cloud (which I don't even use and have never used or saved any music to).
Is this just Apples new bogus way to basically advertise within one of their own apps, or does anyone know how I can turn this off? I want to go into my music app and only see the songs which I loaded onto my phone, not a random mix of songs that apple recommend!!! I listen to rock, alternative, and folk music and it is showing Mandy Moore for Christs sake!!
How do I make it stop?!?!

I want as many songs as will safely fit on my phone without interfering with phone operation. So I have a smart playlist that selects 6 GB of songs randomly - and once per month I delete all of the songs from a dumb playlist that is synced with my iPhone and copy these into it. By hand. On a device that is more powerful than mainframes I worked with in the 1960s. I do the same thing with my iPad, only with a much bigger song list (and far more apps). I haven't done that procedure you mention above in maybe a year, but in the past it only had limited success in removing "other". Some "other" is used by apps. I am too cheap to have my songs on the Cloud using up bandwidth every time I want to play them.
Still - when I delete an app that doesn't get installed due to space limitations - if it won't delete, that's a bug (a bug that has been around for years). And I'd like to find an easier way to get around that bug.

How do I get music, apps, movies etc that are in my iTunes - on a PC - into iCloud?( the stuff I want to move is not on my iPhone which I would like it to stay that way if possible)

I have old music, apps, podcasts, books, and movies that I have already purcahsed. I am just setting my iCloud up, and I can't get anything onto it from my PC. And is it possible to keep stuff in the iCloud and only have it on my PC and not my iphone?
Thank you,
iCloud Rookie.

Music is not included in the iPhone backup, because it is already on your computer, so why duplicate it?
Music can only be synced to one computer at a time, so if you change computers the contents of the iOS device will be replaced by what is on the latest computer.
If you have an iCloud backup and your music is saved to iCloud you can restore it by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. When this completes it will ask if you want to restore your iCloud content.

Why won't the new flash player show up on my computer?

Alright, so, about a week or two ago (around when the update came out) the flash on my computer stopped working, now browser-based is fine, but anything i tried to work with without internet no longer functions, So I've tried downloading this update atleast 4 different times, and each time, it downloads completely as far as i can tell, but it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer as well as the flash files still being un openable. any help?

Oh right, i meant to include that information but i must've forgotten.
1. I'm using Windows XP, 32 bit.
2. I use the 32 bit version of a browser called Rockmelt, but like i said flash in my browser works fine.
3. Currently i have no flash player, but i've attempted multiple times to install v11.2.202.228
4. As I said, starting around the update, the flash player on my computer no longer runs or opens any flash objects or .swf files. I get no error message after installation is complete, but i can't use it.

TS1702 Why won't the ebay & facebook app install on my ipad. It won't update others either.

Help. the apps will not load on my ipad. someone help.

No I have not.
That solved my problem, however, I would not call it an an obvious feature. It seems to be a bit of a kludge, as it seems to anticipate that I would want to use another keyboard frequently; the icon obviously indicates language settings, not another (better) predictive keyboard.
Thanks for your help.

Why won't the Home Sharing tab show up on either of my computers?

I have turned on Home Sharing on both my laptop and home computer under the same username, but the tab disappears after I hit "Done." I have read over a number of troubleshooting suggestions and then tried them (including restarting my computers and reopening iTunes), but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions as to what I should do to resolve this problem?

Hello AOcon56,

Why won't the developers of Firefox even acknowledge that the latest version is a dud?

The deafening roar you hear is the sound of thousands of people switching to Chrome. Wake up, Firefox.

You shouldn't be using 120 dpi as your size setting. That really means nothing. You need to actually export at the resolution you need. For example, I upload my pictures to Facebook and 500x, both of which support 2048x2048 images. So I export everything at 2048 on the longest side.
Also, 60 quality is very low!
Try higher quality, like 80 or 90, and the resolution you need
Sorry, all of that's completely irrelevant if Hannah's not printing - an image viewed on a screen will look identical whether you've set it to 2 dpi or 2000 dpi.
"DPI" isn't setting the image size.

Why do lists flicker and jump in iOS Music app with iTunes match?

I recently signed up for iTunes match. I have a large library on iTunes on my Mac and I'm using iTunes Match to sync it to my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.
However now every list in the iOS Music app now constantly flickers and flashes. The album artwork flashes blank for a moment and then returns. It's as if the list is constanly updating. This happens about every 2 seconds.
Even worse... in playlists the entire list jiggles up and down. Again about every 2 seconds.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a solution?

I don't know what the issue is, have had it since I have had match, and am thinking of ditching it because of it. Now, after deleting and replacing a whole slew of my music with the wrong songs, have the stuff won't play or download from match, even stuff I buy in iTunes. It's ridiculous. Apple should be paying me to be losing my media by using match. It's driving me CRAZY!

IOS Music app: Album and Artist bugs

My iPod touch (5th generation, iOS 7.1.1) has several bugs in its Music app. Here is how I was able to reproduce the bugs.
Go to the Artists view.
Select an artist from an album with multiple artists. (Example album: The Lego Movie; example artist: Will Arnett)
Go to the Albums view.
Select the same album from step 2.
BUG 1: The album only shows the song by that artist. I should see all songs on the album. In addition, the duration of all songs in the album is limited to the song I see, rather than all songs on the album. (When connected to the Internet, "Show Complete Album" appears. [Screenshot] Tapping it invites me to download all of the other songs in the album, which I already have.)
Go to the Artists view.
Select another artist from the same album from step 2. (Example artist 2: Mark Mothersbaugh)
BUG 2: I only see songs by the artist in step 2, rather than songs by the artist I selected. [Screenshot]
Go to the Albums view.
Close and re-start the iOS Music app.
Select the same album from step 2. I see all of the album's songs again.
Go to the Artists view.
Select an artist from the same album as in step 2.
BUG 3: I see the entire album, rather than just the songs by the selected artist. In addition, the artist at the top of the screen is the artist of the first song in the album. [Screenshot]
Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?

Unfortunately, the 15-minute edit deadline on my original post passed, so I need to make the following correction here:
"Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?"
should be

IOS Music app forgets playback position for audiobooks

The iOS music app on my phone repeatedly is losing playback position for audiobooks. I go to the Music app > Audiobooks > BookTitle and get to a menu where I see part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 1 says, below the title/author listing, says
8:53:58 6hr 49 min left
And I touch the title to start it playing, and it shows the little red marker on the progress bar at about the right position for 2 hours having been played, and as often as not, there is a little flash and then the red marker is back at the far left side and it starts playing again at the beginning.
These are books from various sources--today's example was a Librivox download, others have been books on CD, and checking in iTunes verifies that they have been correctly coded as audiobooks and 'remember playback position' is automatically checked.
It's a PITA hunting through an 8 hour long recording with only the crude control of the little progress bar and 15 second skip forward/back to find the spot I left off.
It doesn't happen with the same titles in iTunes on the computer.

Clicked reply by accident, and now can't edit the post.
Has anyone else seen the same problem?
These are books from CDs or librivox recordings, linked into one or a few multiple-hour files with Join Together. I have never bought an audiobook from iTunes so don't know if those are handled better.
