After updating my iPhone 4 to the new iOs 5 release, I am not getting any sound whatsoever from the music (formerly iPod) app on my phone. This occurs whether it's through the internal speakers, headphones or using a dock. I was trying to run a restore, but my itunes keeps saying that the iPhone software update server could not connect. Any ideas?
iPhone 4, iOS 5, no sound from music app
I had the same problem with my 3GS after an iOS5 update and found the following link helpful: I found deleting the music and re-syncing solved the problem (at least for now!).

1) Plug your iDevice into iTunes
2) Under your devices music tab, de-select Sync Music -> Click on Sync (this should remove your itunes library from your iDevice
3) After completing step 2, go back to the music tab and re-select Sync Music -> then click on Sync
4) After completing step 3 your iTunes library should have returned to your iDevice
5) Try playing your music now from the music app. It should work.
As I only tick the music I want to load individually, I deselected everything, selected synchronize iPhone, then ticked the boxes I wanted to load again and synchronized a second time. Worked immediately.
