so i got my google music beta invite last night and i was all excited. i got all of my music (about 1,300 songs) to sync to google and i'm able to see all of my music and play it from the cloud on a pc via web browser.
i have the updated version of google music on my transformer and it opens up and i've connected it with the correct gmail account. the problem is that none of my sync'd music is showing up. i've hit refresh, i've messed with the settings and unchecked/checked things but i've got nothing except for the 4 albums that come on the transformer. what's the deal?
i know its the right gmail account, and i know the music is in the cloud and i can play it...just not from the transformer. any tips?
I was having the same problem, and this is what worked for me. Go into SETTINGS, click on ACCOUNTS AND SYNC. Under manage accounts, click on your google mail account, and click on SYNC MUSIC. After a few minutes, your music should show up. Another person had to downgrade their music app, and then update again. Hope one of these works for you!

that did it! thanks a lot!
seems to me Google should put this in the troubleshooting or instructions page. i turned my auto sync off last week to save battery life, so i guess if i have it on, then my music would've shown up with no problem. still....

Mine doesn't either. I just got the 3.1 update the other day and it won't let me install from the market because it thinks it is already up to date.
No music sync option under my account either. Anyone else have any ideas?
Your google account has to be approved for the beta before the sync option will show up in the account setttings.
Try installing it from the Market on your PC (market.android.com). I dont know if its a bug for everyone or just people runnning cyanogenmod, but it wouldnt sync or even give me the option to until I went to the pc front end and installed it. Hope this helps anyone reading this in the future.

Anyone else having issues with Google Music not syncing after you have updated to 3.1?
Yep. Tried this afternoon to play some music but it said my library was empty. I looked in the Accounts & Sync menu and Music is no longer listed as a sync handler.
Most disappointing.
No issues here... everything is syncing up fine

Update your Music app and restart. If that doesn't help then clear Music app data and restart again.
Anybody have any updates on this?
I just got my galaxy tab 10.1 and when I open Music it says my library is empty even though I have tons of songs synced. Google Music works perfectly on my Nexus One - how do I get it working on my Tab?
Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed it. I cleared Data and rebooted. When I opened google music, I could see the Setting option in the menu (was not there before). It is working great now!
Just got my GT10.1 this morning and my google music beta doesn't seem to sync up. Tried restart. Any ideas?
might have to sync it individually, if you click on the google account all your "sub" accounts should show and you can individually sync it. it happens to me also because i have my accounts to update manually not automatically.
How long does it take to receive an invitation for Google Music? I sent on earlier this week and it's still pending.

You will need to update the Music App in the Market to get the login credentials. If you've already done that (and you have uploaded Music to Google Music from your computer) then it should be syncing. If not, try going to "accounts & sync" and manually sync it.
For those wondering how long it takes to get the Beta invite -- it took me about 2-3 weeks; I had signed up the day it was announced.
I had to clear the application data to get it to work (as well as updating the app from the Market).
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Music -> Clear Data
Thanks for all the replies. FInally got it to work. even with update didn't work so i uninstalled and re-installed and finally worked. Probably would have worked if i updated and just cleared the data.
Not sure whats going on but it will not see any songs that I uploaded from my PC (2000 songs). There is no button to "sync" the device in either the Music app or in settings/account/gmail. I've installed the app 3 times with the same results. Is there a trick or something? Running GB 2.3.3
Silly question, but did you try a reboot? I have heard that has helped some.

Yes I have, many times
GOT IT!!!
Downloading the app from the market via the phone gave me the problem. I removed the app then from my laptop I pushed the install via the market website and then everything worked. very odd.
Odd indeed

I noticed I have to give it some time to sync after I install it. Also there IS a check box in android accounts settings to enable syncing.
Yup. Enable syncing. I use the power control widget so I only sync when I'm listening to my music.

I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app. To do so: Go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Google music, then select clear data. Once that is finished go back into Google music and you should be able to pull up the menu and select settings. Then just select your gmail account again and it should start syncing almost immediately.

thats exactly what i have to do too. have to do it just about every time i install music beta.
Yea, I'm having issues too. Shouldn't Music come up in Account & Sync in settings? I don't seem to have it listed anymore.
Thanks. Clearing data fixed the problem.
Just for anyone else having a problem, an issue I ran into was everytime I flashed a new nightly for CM7, it counted as a new device being added to my account. Eventually I was maxed out on allowed devices (think it might be 8 but don't remember) and it wouldn't sync new songs for me anymore. I had to clear the devices from the music beta page itself to fix the problem.

That worked for me. I can sync again. Thank you!
I think the Google music app sucks. Thats right, it sucks.
I have tried deleting the app from my phone and my pc, then reloading.
What happens to me is when I reload everything, it syncs the same old songs. I have deleted them from everywhere, changed the folder, deleted the folder and created a new one.....same music.....that doesnt exist any more. When I select the folder to sync, it shows the correct number of songs for the new folder but then syncs a different number.....and music that doesnt even exist on my CPU anymore.
Makes no sense to me.
Also, theres no way to delete or hide a song on my device. I know theres a menu choice to hide unavailable but that doesnt work either.
Severe FAIL on Google. BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I had this problem a lot. After installing Music from the Market place, go into App Management and "Clear Data". When you load Music again, it will have a settings menu now to select your account. Although, I think this issue was fixed on newer GB versions because I didn't have to do it when I fresh installed on .605.
Just another Android glitch
"I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app."
I just crossed over to Android and got the GS2. Figured I'd get one of the flagship devices. I figured Android must be good; it's so popular.
I've never used a phone with so many work-arounds, glitches... needed to download so many programs just for a loud & repeating calendar alarm... stores photos to 10 different folders.
Now I have to clear data for every sync I want to do w/ my clouded music? Why didn't I just get an iPhone? The bigger question is, how is it that Android has repeat customers? Maybe Android buyers are all first-time smartphone users and don't know any better. These types of bugs and glitches common to Android are not standard far on iPhone or even my older Nokia N-Series and BlackBerrys.

Hello,
Just got the S4 yesterday and theres a few things I cant get working/understand!
Firstly, when streaming video, from sources such as youtube or ted, it doesnt stream in full HD, it almost looks like standard definition. (this is streaming via wifi, not mobile data, i have also checked to make sure it is actually trying to stream HD)
Secondly is the email app, it is only showing me old emails from years ago? It only seems to have an "older" folder and isnt showing any new mail at all.
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks

Have no idea what causes these gltiches for you, do you have the latest firmware installed and updated your apps in Google Play?
I`am streaming Youtube video`s on wifi in in full HD (1080p), have you checked the highest quality in the Youtube setttings
The email app shows the latest emails to me.

Yea i installed the latest youtube, also tried just streaming it from the web browser but made no difference. At first I had compared the steam to my old phone, and my old phone looked much much better, which was very confusing given the s4's display reputation. But ive put some hd videos on the phone manually and the picture is amazing. Its just streaming services which are poor.
I have also updated the handset, there was a 600mb update as soon as i turned it on.
The email is really bizarre, and very annoying. I know I could get a third party email client from the play store, but theres enough apps/bloatware already on the phone so i'd like to use the in built email app!

Stock email works fine. Just change the setting of sync emails for 3 days only. Then wait for some time (Give it time to sync.) It will sync emails.
BTW you mean email for exchange or something? not gmail?

Yes, indeed the syncing of gmail mails was a pain at first on my S4. But there is an app in the google play store called "push notification fixer" That allows your emails to be pushed to your phone in an orderly manner on delivery. Hope this fixes your issue with the email syncing

Made a mistake in my last post, it is actually only gmail which isnt working properly. My hotmail account is working fine.

i give up - sticking to K-9 instead
So as the title says, I cannot connect to any of the Google apps such as YouTube, Google+, and the Play store. These were all working just a couple days ago, and I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips. Some of the apps, like YouTube, will connect, but have limited functionality. For example, I can connect to YouTube, and I can play videos, but I cannot like, subscribe, or do anything that requires an account. Also things like Gmail and Google+ will load, but I cannot get any new posts/emails
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Using a Nexus 4 w/ Cyanogen Mod 11.

It sounds that google app data doesn't sync. Go to settings accounts your google account and make sour that app data is checked. Maybe that's your problem.

Well, I went there, and saw that the app data was already checked. There was a message at the bottom telling me that "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Any other ideas?
Have you tried forcing a sync of every single item? Removing and re-adding your google account? Those might do the trick. Also make sure your play store and play services are fully up to date.
