Why wont music play on iphone 4

I synced music to my iphone and it wont play.  it just skips over every song and the album art work looks all corupted and distorted.  i tried deleting it and re syncing it and it did the same thing.  i even deleted the music from itunes and re imported it from my cd and then put it back on my phone and still doesnt work.  any ideas?

Try resetting your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't fix it, restore your iPhone using iTunes.

  • Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone?

    Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone? I purchased the ipad and when I went to set it up I chose restore from iPhone. All the apps transferred and the photos in the stream but not the camera roll. When I restored a new iPhone the camera roll transferred.
    is there a way to get camera roll on ipad?
    Thanks

    Camera Roll photos from an iPhone backup will not be transferred to an iPad. iPhone to iPhone will transfer the Camera Roll, but iPhone to iPad, or iPad to iPhone will not transfer the Camera Roll.

  • What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

    Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
    With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
    When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
    I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
    The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
    I see this on amazon
    *Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
    *Technical Details*
    *¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
    *¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
    *¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
    *¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
    *¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
    And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

    My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
    I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
    Go figure, but for now there it is.
    Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

  • Music played on iPhone not tagged as recently played upon sync

    I play music on my phone and whenever I sync the iPhone back to iTunes, I find that some of the tracks that I played are not tagged as recently played. The played date doesn't change and the play count does not increase. My initial guess is it happens if I hit pause on a track to do something else and then press play again when I come back. Somehow the iPhone doesn't report to iTunes that the track was recently played whenever it is synced. I've trolled this forum but have not found anyone else report this. Anybody else have this same problem?

    Thanks Mike.
    I verified that the song completely finishes and moves to the next song but was not tagged as recently played in iTunes during the next sync. The bug may happen when I pause the track played, get out of the iPod interface, come back and hit the Now Playing which takes me back to the song, which is still in the same position I paused at. When the song finishes, it moves to the next one and even that is not tagged as recently played.
    My library is about 90% unpurchased so odds are its not DRM but I could be wrong. Your message though reminded me to check the skip count. Maybe it counts it as that. I am able to repeat this and I did want to report as a bug but don't know where/how on this site. If they have a iPhone bug report page I'd like to know the URL.

  • Why my music application in iphone 4 with IOS 5 not working properly??

    I have Updated mine to IOS 5 and my songs are not playing pproperly from the new Music App. They are syncing properly but not playing some songs,skipping some songs and showing one song but playing another.. Its annoying..Please help me.. Thanks
    Harish,..

    Hi all.
    Possible fix:
    Had this annoying issue, or similar. Songs on my iphone 4 would skip untilit found a song it could play, but often left up on the screen a different song to the one playing. It appeared songs hadnt been transferred or were missing causingthe phone to skip the songs.
    I heard that if you get a 'weird' beep noise this is the 'shake to shuffle' feature which can be turned off via Settings>Music.
    If you have a similar issue to mine, I read converting to AAC (right click song in Itunes and choose 'convert to AAC) could work, and did for me, but is time consuming and duplicates the song.
    What worked for me? Turning off 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC' on the Devices>Your Iphone main menu (device summary page). This reloads all songs to the iphone and appears to fix the issue. I have checked a few songs I knew had issues and they now work, and I can get through 10+ shuffle songs (thats as many as I checked) without a skip.
    Good luck. Let me know if it works.

  • Some Music playing on iPhone, but fine when sync'd...until

    I came across something quite strange with my iPhone this afternoon.
    Some of my albums/songs were not playing. On some albums, only a few songs played. And sometimes, whole albums were dead. And to test the files, I sync'd it up to the mac, and played the tracks through iTunes. The songs played fine.
    The problem could've very well have been an issue with the tracks, until the played over iTunes. That theory, out the window.
    I've restored once, rebooted several times, and nothing is fixed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Justin

    Allan,
    Hi. The music was from another source, other than the store. i thought of this too, so I tried to convert one of the dead songs(at least, dead on the iPhone itself), into AAC, from MP3... and at least now the playhead moved... but still no sound.
    If it was just a corrupted file, or maybe a compression issue... I'd be okay with simply getting a non-corrupted/fresh copy of the song and re-importing. But, the thing that confuses me, is that the songs are playing just fine when sync'd, through iTunes.
    And, as far as I know, there is no alias system for songs exported out onto the iPhone, to link back to the master(like in iPhoto). So, these songs are playing... just not through the iPhone iPod.

  • Why wont sound play though my TV using HDMI anymore?

    Everything worked fine until the power went out one day. Now I can't get sound to play though my TV using my HDMI cable. I have tried fiddling with every setting there is to make it work on both my TV and my imac but nothing seems to work. When I open system preferences there is not any other options for output besides Internal speakers. The speakers on my TV work fine I have tested them. I've tried several different HDMI cables but nothing works. Why would everything work fine one day and then stop the next? was is because of the power outage? can I fix this myself?

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Learn about the Mini DisplayPort in the latest Mac models that enables audio and video output for DisplayPort and HDMI.

  • UK ITunes purchases, why wont they play in Germany

    Having recently moved from UK to Germany, I purchased AppleTV so I could download UK programmes and at least have something to watch which is not dubbed in German. I still have a UK bank account and still a UK address, which means I can still log into iTunes store in UK. Except……when I download anything, either through AppleTV or my Mac it will not play on my German TV. Worse, all my music, videos and TV shows which were already on my Mac, and all legally purchased from iTunes UK will not play either – format not recognised when I sync. Everything plays ok on my Mac, but I have a lovely white box that is of no use. Any ideas or am I just being stupid (and should just learn to speak German quicker)?

    UK televisions do not work in Germany, picture is good, but the sound does not work
    hmm, i bought a TV in Singapore while working there. when i got back, the TV worked just fine ...
    in Germany everything is dubbed.
    i hate that fact, too - so much +get's lost in translation+. however, there is content in the German iTMS that is OV (or, @ least, is bilingual ). look out for this
    and this
    nevertheless, stuff you already have in your iTunes library should play fine, no matter where you are.
    may be a long shot, but try this:
    check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
    any difference ?
    also, try de-authorizing your iTunes, then re-authorizing it.
    another consideration: when you linked up with the German iTMS, did you create a new iTMS account ?
