Random music starts by itself and at random times.

For the last week or so my 5s randomly starts the Music app and plays a random music from my library. It's very annoying and has been a little embarassing in business meetings when a Greatful Dead starts playing in my pocket. Stopping the music app and killing it from the background will quite the device for a short period but will start up again by itself. Restarting while holding the Home button will stop it from doing this for a few days but eventually it will start doing it again. Seems to happen when the battery use gets down to around 60%. I don't know if this is coincidental or if it might be related.
Anyone else having this problem? Should I suspect a hardware problem and return it for replacement?
I've also had a few hard freezes, with either a totally black screen or frozen at the lock screen. Again, re-starting while holding down the Home button will resume normal operation for a while.
I don't have any unusual apps, and the ones I do have were obtained from the App store and were working great on my iPhone 5.
Has my 5s been possessed? Does it need an exorcism?

Same problem, but have not been able to connect it to the battery use. Mine seems to play which ever music source I last used, i.e. Pandora, TuneIn, or my MP3s, and it seems to start after a text message or email alert plays.

Music Player N96 - Music starts to skip and make h...

Hi,
I recently have purchased the Nokia N96. I had a N95 which I loved and naturally thought the N96 would be a good upgrade (Which it is). My problem is that when I am playing Music (occasionally) The tracks skip and start to make horrid sounds. These tracks where all on a 2Gb Micro SD card and worked fine on my N95. I moved the tracks onto the Mass Memory. This has only started recently, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks

the cure is to update the firmware. when nokia release new phones some have problems with the playback of music. so in a firmware update they fix the problems and update the audio codecs.
what happend to you happend to me but with my n91 when i first got it. updating firmware cured the problem.

ITunes starts by itself and won't quit

I have researched this topic and not found an answer. My system is an imac running 10.5.6 and itunes8.
recently itunes launched for no apparent reason. we haven't used it in months. when i quit, even force quit, it immediately relaunches.
we have not installed any itunes related widgets.
on restart, itunes launched itself approximately an hour later, and will not quit.
i saw issues with a process called "genredetection" but that is not running per Activity Monitor.
Anyone else have this issue or know the cause?
Thanks!

Loudness of music varying by itself when using iPod in iPad with other app

The loudness of music started varying up and down itself when listening to music using iPod and using other app simultaneously in iPad. Does anyone have got the same problem? Is it a hardware or software problem? How to fix it? Many many thanks

I agree, this is a huge let down. I didn't realize I was uploading low quality photos and people commented that my quality has gone down... so much for using this as a business expense for photography. I know people argue (just upload it from your pc) Well, this is a "retina display" High res, yadda yadda... so why isn't the app thats designed specifically for it?
Anyways, seems like an easy fix...
Strange.. all the ads are in high res...

I have the same problem with my iPhone since this morning.
I tried playing a song using the headphones remote while on the home screen (not going through the iPod app), and it'll only play for a couple of seconds before it shuts down.
Haven't sync'd since sunday, when I updated to iOS4

My phone keep locking and unlocking several times

Device info
Your carrier: T-Mobile
Model info and OS version: Curve 8900 and Blackberry OS v4.6.1.231
Apps and free space
Did a battery pull fix your issue? Temporarily
Apps installed and their version if possible: No apps because I do not have internet on the phone
When writing your question
Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before:
I didn't do anything to it but before the speaker would fuzz in and out of call and then it started doing that permanently. Afterwards my phone just started to lock and unlock several times before it ultimately locked me out even after I tried to press the unlock button. I tried pulling out the battery several times and it alleviates the symptoms for about 3 minutes and it goes right back to locking and unlocking again. I have no idea what is wrong but I appreciate any responses and Thank You in advance.

Hello
Usually I would advise a hard reset of your handset, but it doesn't seem like it's possible if you only have access to your handset for a few minutes before the fault occurs.
Go to www.blackberry.com and download the blackberry desktop manager, then use this to update your handsets software, I have seen the desktop manager not recognise there is an update from an 8900 on OS 4.6, if this happens you can find the newest 8900 software on the blackberry website - download this and install it to your PC. Once it's downloaded you need to search for updates in the desktop software and when it says none available select 'view previous versions', then select the software you just downloaded.
Hope this helps

Music plays at startup and at random times for 10 to 20 seconds at a time, how do I stop this?

When using Firefox music will start playing at random times, it only last 10 to 20 seconds then it quits. Then at random it will start playing while browsing or when at rest. this is very annoying and I need to figure how to turn this option off.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

IPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times and doesnt display all music

iPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times. When I manually manage music and re-sync it it still cancels the sync half way through, but shows all songs I manually copied on the phone within iTunes. On unplugging the songs dont display.
Have already tried changing the language, doing a hard reset, updating the itunes software, unchecking all songs and only checking the songs I want synced, deleting the songs that the sync stops at from iTunes. Still doesnt work.
Any ideas? Not too bothered about the syncing part if necessary I can manually move music I just need to know how to make it display on the phone when it is not plugged in to the computer?
Dont say wipe the phone and start again thats not an option for me.
Thanks

Instead of deleting I just re-imported everything over the top so iTunes has the links again. Now more songs have imported but when I get to a certain group of songs it cancels the sync.
I can see all the imported music I import on my phone but most of it is not clickable to play.
What happened originally was I cancelled a sync mid way, since then when iTunes tries to sync it always cancels at a certain point. Is there a way to effectively clear the cache of iTunes so it doesnt remember cancelling the sync before. I have tried updating iTunes and it doesnt work. Maybe if I uninstall then re-install?
Thanks

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

Hi, my macbook screen goes black at random points when I am using it. I know it is still running as music continues to play and I can vaguely make out the content of what is on the screen. Sometimes the screen will flicker between black and normal. Can I

Hi,
my macbook screen goes black at random points when I am using it. I know it is still running as music continues to play and I can vaguely make out the content of what is on the screen. Sometimes the screen will flicker between black and normal. Can I fix this?

Emily..
Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

Re: iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music

I have something really strange going on.
My iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music. I cannot figure this out. I turned off the "Sync Via Wireless" on all my gadgets, but this continues to happen. This has woken me up in the middle of the night until I got so tired of it I just shut my Mac down.
Anybody hear of this? Know what to do?

I had the same problem - and as well as opening by itself iTunes was skipping from track to track like crazy. But then I found a post from a few years ago that fixed this.
Connect your iPhone to your iMac and uncheck the box that says 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected'. Problem solved!
Hope this works for you.

Firefox hangs, shows Not Responding, on start up and at random times

Firefox is hanging on start up and at random times during use. When I click the desktop icon it takes about 20-30 seconds and then opens the usual Firefox start page. However as soon as I move the mouse or try and use anything on the screen it hangs. The Firefox logo top left in the blue bar turns into a white box. After about 2 minutes it reverts to the Firefox logo and all starts working normally.
However every now and then the same thing happens, white box, and the Not Responding words in the top blue bar. Sometimes the whole webpage goes blank white, with only the very top blue bar and side scroll bars showing.
It reverts to normal after a minute or so.
This has happened with the last few versions so it is not due to the last update.
I've tried most things (plugins, stop hardware acceleration, etc) except the one below - maybe someone has an answer to why I can't do the one below?
I've read that you can try and correct by right clicking the decktop icon, choosing Properties, and then Select Compatibility and my Windows Program which is Windows XP SP3. However when I try this the latest Windows showing is 2000. - Maybe this is my problem - how do I get the comnpatibility to Windows XP S3?
Thanks

Why does my Ipad start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own frequently?

Why does my Ipad suddenly start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own? It's like it spazzes out rather frequently for no apparent reson.

It's hard to say why, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. See if this stops it.
