Why won't the music app work after the IOS 7.1 update?

Every time i try to listen to my music in the Apple Music app it opens then freezes. Sometimes it will let me open an artist but wont play the songs. I tried going into the settings to see if i could change anything but it wont let me open the music settings tab, the button just turns gray and freezes my phone. I've tried force quitting the app and re starting my phone and nothing has worked.

Hello mbongi1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music app on your iPhone. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already to isolate and troubleshoot the issue. I have a couple of additional suggestions you can try.
First, I recommend resetting your iPhone:
Reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists after resetting your iPhone, I recommed backing up and restoring your iPhone:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Why won't my music app work?

My Music app opens, but then it's frozen. It won't let me click on anything, and the screen doesn't move when I try to scroll.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

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!

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 Verizon Messages app work on phone with Wi-Fi only?

I've successfully downloaded and installed the app from Google Play on a phone of mine that I only use wi-fi on. There is no cellular service to this particular device. It's set to airplane mode, with wi-fi on, essentially making it a 4.5 inch tablet, or like an android equivalent to an iPod touch. When I start the app though, it displays the screen shown in the included screenshot, and won't let me connect to the service, despite the fact that a wi-fi connection is present. I've seen that this is an issue that some others have had. I have Verizon service with my main phone, I'm not sure why the app that supposedly lets you access your texts via wifi will only do that on tablets or phones with cell service. Is there any way to get this working? Will there be any updates to allow the functionality that I'm looking for? I've read that it was present at one time, so why the change?

According to the Verizon website you are wrong.
Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
It states "
Use Wi-Fi to send and receive messages on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser"
I find personally that you are correct, is the website designed to mislead us? it is the same on the play store for google.
The difference is not just in one place, it is everywhere it is advertised. So it was meant to work but to charge customers the function was removed is my understanding.

Why won't the 10.6.8 update install?

I am doing a free install on a large hard drive.
I previously ran Leopard o my old mac, bought snow leopard, then upgraded to mountain lion. That worked fine.
Now i have put a 640gb hard drive in my mac, installed 10.6.3, works fine. Now i want to update to get the app store again and then get mountain lion again, on my new hard drive.
The 10.6.8 update WON'T install. I have tried about 10 times and it fails at the end EVERY time.
Any ideas?

It's been running for a while now, and a message has popped up that days
Repairing permissions for "Maconintosh HD"
Open error 1 : "Operation not permitted" o...Thanks_On_Upgrade.nib.keyedobjectives.nib
Warning: SUID file "usr/top" has been modified and will not be repaired

No idea what the **** that means????

Why won't the April 2014 iMovie update open?

Recently (about two hours ago), I installed the new April 2014 update of Imovie. however, every time I try and open the application, it says the following:

Hi Cassielsmith13,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the rear camera on your iPhone is not functioning as you would expect and I know how frustrating situations like **** can be. In this situation, there are a few different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the steps located in the attached article to troubleshoot this situation.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Cheers,
Joe

HT4623 Why won't the original iPad's update to the newer software? Applications like iBook & CTVGo will not upgrade without the iPad upgrading.

Why won't the iTunes directory listing update, yet the subscriptions will?

In the iTunes music store podcast directory, the listing for my podcast says that the most recent podcast is 5 November 2006, even though the podcast has been weekly since (as well as 2 years before that!).
The subscription to the RSS feed through my iTunes automatically updates when a new podcast is released, so I can only assume that the podcast has a valid RSS feed, and that the problem lies elsewhere. That, and the fact we have thousands of listeners downloading each week! Additionally, through feed validator, the rss feed came back as validated.
I tried pinging the iTunes store, and the screen said it was successfully pinged. Nothing in the listing has changed. Some strange thing happened in 2006, when the iTunes store did update the listing, and it stopped as soon as it started again!
Can anyone help?
The rss feed is http://www.brasscast.com/feed/rss.xml
Thanks
Lucas

One of the main causes of a feed not updating is that it no longer validates. In this case though, everything I can think of checks out, including the category tag (which was unchanged from earlier versions).
Even without pinging the iTunes Store, a feed will at some stage be crawled and have the updated info added to the database.
Sorry I couldn't be of help, this is a mystery.

Why won't my LED light work after I turned it on in the Accessibility settings?

After upgrading to iOS 5, I turned on the LED notification that lets your camera flash light up when you get a text but it's not working. Anyone have any clue what to do to get it to work?

Never mind. I saw this in the forums after I submitted my question:
"hey everyone. try this before you make trips to the store. turn off the light in your settings and reset your phone. (hold power and home until the apple logo comes up). then when the phone has started back up, turn the light on again and test it ! ( send yourself a text and turn off your screen. you should get the flash when you receive your msg!)
keep in mind though it doesnt flash until you have your screen off.
i think the light must glitch out if you change the flash settings in your camera- and the program requires a restart. hopefully apple fixes this bug (:"
Did this and it worked =)

Why won't my music videos work on my ipod?

After downloading the new itunes 7, I found that my music videos and video podcasts (downloaded from the itunes store) were erased from my ipod and will no longer transfer to the ipod. I keep getting a message saying it can't download to my ipod but, why? I've had no problems before. Is there a solution to this problem?

I, too, am having problems with iTunes 7 and videos. I got the "cannot be read from or written to message". So I restarted the computer, reset the iPod and repaired permissions, then I got this message. "Some of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "Video iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." All these movies and TV shows worked perfectly well yesterday, but now iTunes removed them all from my iPod and will not sync them back. I have tried restoring the iPod software, and resetting the iPod but that did not fix the problem. Any ideas?

Why won't air print wont work after ios6 update on iphone?

It was working before I updated....my printer is KodakEPS2170

I had the same issue. BTW, that troubleshooting assistant is worthless. I did 2 things to get it working. I'm not sure if one or the other fixed it or it was combination of both. I had the "No Air Printers Found" and did the usual rebooting everything, firmware updates, etc. I could print and scan from the epson app fine. I downloaded the epson airprint app from the app store (It's called Epson Printer Finder) and verified my settings under the Airprint section and choose to save the settings. I didn't change anything, just looked at the settings. I also setup the epson connect feature on the printer. After I did both of those I went into mail and tried to print an email message and all of a sudden I could see my printer. It's worked perfect since then. I hope this helps someone.
