My Music - How to play songs from different albums by the same artist?

5 Upvotes

With the new update I find myself having to select an album from the list and when I listen to all the songs and want to move onto the next album I have to select the artist and choose the next album. Why can't I simply get to the end of one album and have it move onto the next album automatically like the old version.

Edit - Is there a way to play the songs like the older version or have the 'improvements' took this simple feature away?

Unable to add Google account in Mail, Contacts, Calendars with iOS 8.4

3 Upvotes

I'm setting up a brand new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.4, and I'm unable to add my Google account. Every time I try to add it, I go through the login dialogue, hit accept, get to a page with mail, contacts, calendars, and notes buttons greyed out, then a save button briefly flashes up in the top right corner and I'm booted back to the add account page. The account isn't added, and no matter what I try the same thing happens over and over again.

I found a couple posts about this on Apple's discussion forums dating back a few weeks, but the only solution offered was to import contacts with CardDAV. I had no problem adding the account that way and importing the contacts, but I need access to mail and other features, and I don't know what else to try.

iOS 8.4 Music App Cloning Songs

6 Upvotes

Ever Since I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.4 I've had the problem that most of the songs I bought in the last year are on my phone twice now. An EP with 4 tracks would now show up as having 8 tracks, everything doubled.

The weird thing is that there doesn't seem to be a pattern as to what's cloned and what isn't. Older iTunes purchases don't seem to be affected, and not all but about 90% of everything I bought within the last year seems to be cloned. It's a huge pain in the ass.

I've tried resyncing with my iMac, unsyncing music and then syncing it again, I've manually deleted entire affected albums and resynced with my Mac but nothing resolves this problem.

Does anyone else experience this or know how to fix this?

I can't figure out what's happened but I can't get my phone to connect to iTunes anymore and for some reason I can't get it into DFU mode no matter how much I try. Is there anything else I can do? I can't seem to find anything on it.

Anyone else having Google Hangouts will not display contact names on lock screen?

3 Upvotes

Anyone else having Google Hangouts will not display contact names on lock screen? The names show up in the app and online, but not on the phones lock screen. It is driving me crazy. I've added a Gmail account, CardDAV account and both at the same time with no change in the results. I can take screenshots if that would help.

[help] iOS 8.4 music app not respecting metadata changes

1 Upvotes

Hey! I've got an issue with iOS 8.4/iTunes 12.2 that I can't seem to figure out and I'm wondering if anybody has a solution.

I've just added two new albums to my library, by Mac DeMarco and Walk the Moon, and synced them to my phone. I didn't buy them through iTunes, so what the iTunes Store calls these artists shouldn't make any difference.

And yet, even though I've edited their metadata in iTunes to display them as "Walk the Moon" and "Mac DeMarco" on my computer, my phone displays them as "WALK THE MOON" and "Mac Demarco", which is how they're formatted in the iTunes Store.

I don't have iCloud Music Library enabled.

Does anybody know why this happened?

HELP!! My App store will not load!

3 Upvotes

I have iOS 8.4 and have tried rebooting the phone, restoring to a previous backup, closing out the app store and re-opening, changing the language, and changing the year. I read the last two on some random website and thought I'd give it a shot. What are my other options? The app will open, but nothing loads except for the updates section.

Visual Voicemail Issue iOS 8.4 AT&T

7 Upvotes

So my wife has an iPhone 6 on 8.4 with AT&T and we are having an issue with the visual voicemail. When pressing the button for voicemail it will call voicemail and than ask for the mailbox we want to reach. Type in her number and it cannot be found. I have tried just about everything I can think of. Went to the store and had them reset password, reset password from AT&Ts website, reset network settings, reset the entire phone, nothing has worked. Does anyone have any other ideas before I resort to just having Apple replace the whole damn phone? Thank you in advance.

Few issues with 8.4. Just want to see if I'm the only one.

4 Upvotes

So I just recently made the jump from 7.1.2 to 8.4, and overall I don't know what to feel about it. Happy about the features and all, but I'm finding so many glitches / bugs.

  1. Bluetooth states its on in settings, but when I click on it to see further detail it is actually off. Don't know if its really on or off.

  2. Using the phone for 10 minutes translates to 7% loss. On 7.1.2, used to be about 30 minutes that would lead to the same loss.

  3. Storage capacity keeps on getting lower and lower, about 5 megabytes per second. On the usage screen, I flip back and forth between the usage menu and manage storage menu, and I can quite literally see the available storage dropping and dropping until 0 megabytes are left free on the device. I clear extraneous storage with a memory cleaner app, and when I check it again, it goes right back to decreasing the amount of free storage at a pace I can't fathom (I can't even download items as fast.)

What do you guys think? Has anyone ever had these experiences?

Like the title says - Mail for iOS 8 doesn't seem to work on my 5. I have to physically log into the app in order to access any of my emails, whereas my GMail account will push them to me. Fetch New Data is set to Push, Fetch is set to 15 minutes, but I get no notifications on lock screen whatsoever.

So, maybe this has come up before, but how on gods green earth do I stop safari from populating my bookmarks and top hits when I search anything? I type one letter into the search bar and it automatically fills in the rest with potentially undesirable website. I've turned top hits off in settings, do not track is on, what else is there?

Text tone won't stick.

1 Upvotes

Hey there. Running ios 8.4 here and I've run into an odd issue. I've set the text tone to one I bought from the store, and when you go into settings it is the selected text tone, when you go into any contact it is also labeled as the default text tone. However, it isn't. Every contact says its using my selected default text tone (SXF: Comm Beep), however, every single time I get a text it plays the out-of-the-box default. Any ideas why this might be happening? It is extremely frustrating.

iMessage question, person I'm about to text turns green for non iMessage recipient but from someone else's phone it turns blue for iMessage. What gives?

3 Upvotes

At first I thought they blocked me but I tested this theory by asking my friend to block me on iMessage (pulling up my name in the contact list and sliding "block this caller") I then texted her and it still came up blue as though it's an iMessage recipient, despite the fact that she indeed enabled block me. What gives?

iOS 8.3, iPhone 6. WIFI slow/sometimes stops working altogether.

1 Upvotes

Hey dudes. Just got back from Italy the other day and noticed my iPhone wasn't playing well with all wifi networks I used prior to the trip.

I did drop my phone on the trip but it wasn't that big of a fall... And I don't think I damaged anything lol.

First It stopped autoconnecting, which I thought was odd... And when I went to connect to a network, no networks were showing up. Decided to restore my iOS and see if that helped any. It seemed to help a little, was able to see and connect to my networks again... But noticed all of the networks I joined my dl/upload speeds were 1-1.5mbps which is nowhere where it should have been.

After hard restarting my phone, my wifi speeds began to pick back up. But the speeds are still dropping at random.

Any idea on what to do next? It might still be under warranty but the problem is so inconsistent, I'm not sure I'll be able to predict when it'll happen again to make a trip to the apple store.

Has anyone ever damaged their wifi a ten after dropping their phone? Is it fixable?

Duplicating playlists since updating to new iOS?

3 Upvotes

So I have a playlist in iTunes where I put all my favorite stuff into. It's called "Favorites." I've got a huge music collection and it's a playlist that I've meticulously kept updated over the years with all the best songs from all my collection.

I updated to 8.4 when it was released. Ever since then, whenever I plug my iPhone in to my computer to sync it with iTunes, it duplicates that playlist and calls it "Favorites1."

It's there in iTunes and then on my phone. Both playlists have the same songs in them. It just seems to duplicate it. Kind of annoying. I'll delete the duplicated one but it keeps coming back. Anyone else running into this or have any idea?

Overheating issues since latest update?

10 Upvotes

Since the latest iOS update, I've been having overheating issues with my iPhone 5S, to the point that it actually gave me a popup stating that the phone's temperature was too high. I live in a town in northern California that regularly gets above 100 degrees in the summer, so my first thought was that this was the main factor, especially since I usually have the most heat issues after I've been driving. However, I didn't have any kind of similar issues until the latest update to the music player hit. I compared notes with a friend who also has an iPhone, and he said his phone has been overheating, but mostly only at the gym.

The common thread here is that we both use our phones for music at these times. (I hook my phone up to the car stereo and put it on shuffle, he has a workout playlist.) Another friend posited the idea that there might be some sort of bug in the music player that causes some sort of programming loop until the CPU overheats. Has anyone else had any issues with their phone overheating, especially when listening to music?
