My ipad froze, couldnt turn off or anything so connected to computer to sync, nothing happened, so i restored. It fixed the frozen prob but now none of my songs will play. They are still showing that they are in my library but if i choose a song it just quickly skips through all the songs and nothing plays. Anyone got any ideas?
