iTunes player skips songs with iOS6 update

If I Upgrade my 4s to Ios6 will i lose all of my music I bought and downloaded?

I see many people with the issue, but noone who has been able to solve it.

I do not use iCloud for music backup, I do not use match.

I manually manage my music on my iPhone.

I uninstalled my music, put on only 1 song, and still had the issue.

I rebooted the phone, etc etc, and still have the issue.

Essentially, the music player in IOS6 is unusable.

I have been taking my shuffle with me to listen to music.

Same problem here with my iPhone 5 and on my iPhone 4s. It started with iOS6. It needs to be fixed, it was doing it on iOS6 beta throughout the whole beta, you think it would have been noticed.

My iphone music player works great. So the issue is not widespread and its probably just local to your devices. If I had to guess it would be something to do with the sync process (whichever way you did it) getting interupted during the music portion, so like another poster commented, it has the track info, but not the entire file it needs. A restore would be your best bet. Especially if unsyncing all music, and resyncing do not work. That tells me the data is "ghosted" on the device (which only a restore will fix.) Have any of you restored your device as new and resynced the data back and then tried? (restoring from a backup may or may not reproduce the issue)

I am having the same problem. My music player keeps skipping the songs. I only have purchased songs from ITunes and all are being skipped.

I called Apple support, they had me hard reset the phone, then reset all settings and it still hasnt solved the problem.

I have iPhone 5 32GB.

Last evening, my iPhone 5 synched wirelessly w/my Mac. Since then, I've not seen this problem. My iPhone was skipping songs, as reported earlier, but I've not seen the problem today. Hopefully it's gone for good.

I deleted all the songs off my iPhone and re synced it with my Macbook.

Works fine for the moment.

Same problem with the iPhone 5. There are specific songs that it won't play. It simply moves to the next one, immediately, without playing even one sound. Very briefly, I can see the album cover of the song it won't play and then it moves on in the play list. Very frustrating.

I have found that if I removed all songs, and downloaded them again it fixed this issue.

Go to setting> General > Usage > Music > Swipe to Delete... This will remove all songs on your iphone..

Then go to itunes (Music not on this phone) Download all. (I would only do this on wi-fi)

If you haven't found a solution here it is:

While your phone is conneted to your Itunes click on your device. Go to Music. uncheck the title box sync music. it will ask you if you are sure. Say yes. Sync.

This will remove all songs on the device. Recheck they sync music and all songs will load back onto device.

This worked for me.

I am having the same problem with my iphone 4s after installing iOS 6. I have tried pretty much every combination of solutions mentioned on here and nothing has worked.

iTunes Match is not working at all. I tried turning off Match and syncing purchased songs to my phone. The songs will play for a few seconds or almost an entire song. Or not at all. Pandora is also doing something similar.

I tried restoring my phone.

I had the same problem (iPhone 5) and did what Chefjefe suggested - my songs seem to be playing on my iPhone now. Thanks Chef!

Same problem on my new iPad. I also tried turning off iTunes Match in Settings->iTunes, but that didn't work. I tried going to my iTunes account from the iTunes Store on the computer, going to "Manage Devices" under the "iTunes in the Coud" menu and deactivating the iPad, but that didn't work either. In the end, what did work is after turning off iTunes Match in the settings menu, I downloaded one song from my Purchased Items in the iTunes app on the iPad and agreed to the new iTunes Store Terms and Conditions. I bet the new iTunes Terms and Conditions are what is causing the issues. I am wondering if this will be an issue every time Apple updates the iTunes Terms and Conditions?

same problem here. I updated an iphone 4 to io6 and found many tunes were not available to play even though though I had purchased them using itunes. Thanks Chefjefe your suggestion worked.

Same problem, just started today. ALL my music is on the icloud since I upgraded to iphone 5.

Just keeps looking for music that I can see but it don't play anything except for maybe 10 songs, and those are also on the cloud. NONE of my music is downloaded to the iphone.
