Fix your broken Music in iOS 5
I upgraded three iOS devices to iOS 5 (iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2) and all of them would not play any music nor podcasts in the new Music app. The music and thumbnails were there but flat out refused to play.
The fix was to uncheck the “sync music” box in each device, hit apply, and re-sync all music over.
Hope this works for you as well.
iOS5 is out!
Downloading as I type this for my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 – not as fast as usual obviously as the servers must be getting hammered. Full list of new features available after the break.
