Why wont my music play out of my phones speakers

When i go to play music it wont play out the bottom speakers on my iphone 4s. however my alarm clock still works along with headphones. it says the song is playing but the speakers wont play my music i have bought. ive done everything and it is getting extremly frustrating at this point.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Why wont my iphone play all my music

    Why wont my Iphone play all of the music i have saved on it from itunes

    If you are using files that play on your iPhone when synced with iTunes these files should play via your website. The iPhone can play these formats.
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file format
    The most certain way of producing files in the correct format is to use either iMovie08 or Quicktime Pro and export in iPhone format.

  • HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

    Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Contact the developer/go to their support site
    Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    BTW this is the iPOd touch forum

  • How do I get the Apple tv to play out of my Bose speakers that has the typical white and red plug ins?  Do I need an "optical audio" cord (that is what is available as a plug in on the back of the Apple tv that has the red and the white on the other side?

    How do I get my speakers to play the Apple TV?  My TV is recognizing the Apple TV and the sound is playing out of the TV speakers, but even though I plug my speakers into my TV, it does not play what the TV speakers are playing.  Do I have to plg the speakers into the actual Apple TV unit?  If so, do I need an "optical audio" plug in?

    appletv play audio out of optical out of hdmi and the old alu one play out the RCA too
    the typical the white and red plug ins would be RCA if you have a atv2 (the black one) you cant use
    RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
    you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video

  • Why won't my music play out loud anymore?

    I usually plug my iPhone into my radio and the sound bar disappears, I'm used to that and when I'd unplug it it'd be back and my music would play out loud no problem.
    Well as of yesterday it doesn't play outloud.  My alarm wouldn't even go off this morning ,  my ringtone will go off no problem when I get a call or text.  But to play music I don't get the sound bar.  I can plug my headphones in at it appears.
    I've shut my phone off and restarted it.  
    I also held the sleep button and home button to reboot it . 
    Nothing .
    Is there a setting I need to change ,  ? 

    Try inserting and removing the headphones several times in a row to try to release the mechanism that has not released which currently indicates the headphones remain inserted when they are not. The ringtone for a call will go off regardless if headphones are inserted - for those with headphones inserted and being used that may remove the headphones from their ears and set the phone down temporarily without removing the headphones from the iPhone - so a call won't be missed.

  • Why wont my shuffle play? Also, my serial number is not recognized!

    My shuffle can be connected to my computer fine, I can take songs on and off it. When I disconnect it, plug in my ear buds and hit play, the little green light comes on, but no music comes out. The light does not blink, it is just on. Even when I hit the play/Pause button again, the light stays on. (It always used to blink when it was paused). My ear buds work on other devices, so it is not them. When I tried to get help from apple, they told me they don't recognize my serial number, and yes, I gave them the right one, the one that is in my settings when I plug in the ipod and inscribed under the clip. I have already returned this once, I fear I may have to again, if I can.

    Did you ever get an answer to your question? I have the same problem - the shuffle will not play and the serial number is not recognized on the apple website. iTunes recognizes the shuffle and shows the same serial number as what is on the box and under the clip. I have tried restoring the shuffle to factory settings but it still does not play. I tried registering the shuffle (using the model part number) and it says it is registered but it still does not recognize the serial number. I have no idea what to do.

  • Why is my music playing through headphones and speaker?

    Just yesterday my iPod Touch started acting weird. First it would play my music for awhile, then pause. I would hit play, then it would start playing but only through the speakers. It would then start playinh through the earphones then pause again. And then this morning my iPod started playing through both the speaker and headphones. Help!
    ps- I have an iPod Touch Second Generation That Has Been Recently Restored

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  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 the iPod from backup.
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem like maybe the headphone jack.  I would them make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Music cutting out using wireless external speakers

    i've been having problems with the music cutting out while playing. i have itunes 9.2.1 and have it set up wirelessly to external speakers. it doesn't cut out when playing on computer speakers. is this a speaker or wireless or itunes problem?

    Could not agree more... thought it was the appletv, then my rarely used airport express, then started changing/upgrading wireless routers in the house. Have the latest stuff but, cannot stream from my laptop without it cutting out (streaming to a "wired" appleTV, no less).
    Every once in a while, I'll get a combination that's just right and it will work, then after about 10 mins, starts the drops. I've changed stream settings, wireless router settings, everything I can find on the Inet as a possible suggestion. I concur it's got to be a iTunes software issue.

  • Why can I only play games on my phone when connected to wifi?

    Why can I only play games on iphone5 when connected to wifi?  I want to change it.

    That means you didn't do it properly. Use that article, make sure you do see those tracks in itunes and they do not have clouds next to them before you sync.

  • Why wont my music stop playing

    Why when i click to home my music wont stop playin gettin mad lol

    It keeps playing beacause of the multitasking. Even if you mute your iphone/ipod/ipad the song will keep playing itself (but of course you want listen anything).
    The only way to stop it is to click "pause".

  • HT3819 why wont some music tracks play on other computers

    I cant get itunes to play some tracks I imported from itunes on my other computer in home sharing. Does anyone know why this happens and how can i fix it?

    Wow, there is more to this that I thought.  I tried all sorts of things, saving as various files.  I ended up saving as a mp4 file and it worked fine on the other computer.  But the quality is really poor.
    In answer to Martin's questions.
    I have a brand new MBP, Lion, FCE 4HD
    clips came from a sony HD camera, default settings. 
    FCE is set up for HD Easy Set up, using the AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440X1080i50 setting
    I did render the sequence, didn't help with .mov export
    To export I went to File, Export, QuickTime Movie.  That didn't work, so then I went to File, Export, QuickTime Conversion, that still didn't work for the .mov file, so then had to choose MPEG 4.
    I just want an easy way to export a movie clip, and allow anyone I send it to, to be able to view it.  I wish I could do it with .mov as the quality is better.  Is there a way?  What codec should I use?  And how do I change my settings to that codec?

  • No music playing out loud :( help

    My iphone says it's playing music but the volume slider is there but it won't let me move it it doesn't work when I put head phones in either some time it will play for about 2 seconds out loud then go off again but still says it's playing in my screen. The sound on my videos is the same but Siri and phone calls are fine! help!!

    I had this problem as well but I fixed it, your iPhone thinks that it is in docking mode. What you need to dio is take a new toothbrush and scrub out the charging/docking port and the headphone port. You can also take a pin and clean out the charging/docking port to get rid of grime on the sides. Hope this helped.

  • Why wont my songs play all the way through

    Hi,
    I bought the Fall Out Boy PaxAm Days album a few months ago and it the songs wouldn't play on the computer I purchased them on. So today I tried a different computer and they all downloaded but half of the songs will not play all the way through. I'm perturbed that I can't play them or get my 5 dollars back.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello GHarchack,
    It sounds like you made a purchase from the iTunes Store and downloaded the songs but they will not all play the entire way through. It sounds like the files in question may not have downloaded completely. Try deleting the affected songs from your computer:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    Then you can redownload them from your purchased history usign the following article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
    To download an item, click its Download button .
    If the issue persists I would reach out to our iTunes Support team directly with the following article:

  • Why does my music play at abnormal speeds after updating to iOS 8.2

    Since my update, my music will either stop, or play at an abnormal faster speed. It is intermittent and only happens to songs that are purchased from the iTunes store.

    Have subsequently tried doing a re-install with the combo updater, repaired permissions, reset SMC and PRAM. No luck. When booting into safe mode, works fine but cursor is 'jittery' and the screen is erratic (like an old tv with rabbit ears antenna.)
    Any thoughts or help would be significantly appreciated.
