Song constantly pauses - why?

I have an 80G classic ipod which is awesome. I cannot use the supplied earphones because they just do not sit in my ear. So I used an old pair of headphones.
Recently on my long commute to work, I press play, flip the LOCK button and places the ipod in my pocket and seconds later it pauses. So I had to press play again, this happened more often, so I thought it was my old headphones. I bought a pair of new very expensive headphones, but this problem continues.
I did the 5 step reboot - but still problem exists.
Can anyone help? Any suggestions??

This happens with every song?  Does the music stop when the display turns off?

  • Why do all videos I try to watch constantly pause??

    Why do all videos I watch constantly pause??

    Bonnie-
    Frequent pauses might be explained by a slow Internet connection.  If you see a dual progress bar, one is for viewing and the other is for downloading.  When viewing catches up to downloading, a pause occurs until more data is downloaded.
    To eliminate the pauses, stop the video and wait for it to completely download.

  • Music stops or skips song constantly and voice mate pops up relentlessly when I use an aux cable or headphones

    I try to use my phone to listen to music in my car and the music will pause, or it will just start skipping songs constantly. Then if i try to use the phone to unpause the music or do anything at all, voice mate will just pop up every couple seconds. I even get the problem when I use headphones but it strangely isn't quite as bad. Has anyone else experienced this?

        Hi NParkerim - We want to keep the tunes going! I do see that the Voice Mate malfunction is being investigated and we are working to get this corrected. I apologize for any inconvenience.
    Thank you,

  • Songs keep pausing mid track

    This is driving me crazy, i think it might have something to do with the headphones or a faulty jack leading into the ipod. I put a song on to play, put the ipod in my bag to keep it safe and then the song automatically pauses even though the hold button is on and it's not as if the headphones have been pulled out of their socket. Has anyone else experienced this? I suppose the only thing to do is to take the ipod in to a shop to fix or get serviced. I would change the headphones over to test if they are the problem only i don't have any other headphones other than the ones supplied with the original ipod. What's a girl to do?!

    Not convinced why this is still an issue. I have found that it has been going on for ages (2006)! Come on Apple?! ITunes is a staple program that has seen incredible attention and development. A classic case of market share. It would be a pain in the arss to not use it and you guys know it. Surely, it would be simple to code an automatic (occasional) scan/fix to music files or processor in order to avoid these problems.\\
    At this point, I am not expecting reprocussions from my post. Just wanted to offer my 2c.....

    Go back to the App Store app and find the app you're having problems with. Then look in the description for the contact info for the developer. You might also find an email link within the settings of the app. Contact the developer to find out if they are working on this issue.

  • Airplay constantly pauses with 1 movie only

    Hi,
    I have been using the apple tv for a while, with everything largely fine.   However recently I downloaded the movie "wizard of oz" and when I play this the apple tv constantly pauses (ie every 10 -30 seconds).  Nothing like this happens with any other streaming.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    The iPad doesn't actually need to have the movie on it, all it's doing is getting the Apple TV to download it from the Internet, which you can get the Apple TV to do directly.
    The odd thing seems to be that the Apple TV can download from the Internet without a problem, but not from your computer, the inference being that you have a problem with your network between the computer and Apple TV or a problem on the computer itself.
    Have you tried restarting your router and trying again.

  • Every single song will pause at around 12 or 13 seconds

    every single song will pause at around 12 or 13 seconds.
    This is only on the PC using iTunes, not on my iPod. There is a delay in response too while songs are playing. For example - if I am editing a song title and type it in, nothing will happen and then the letters I typed will appear a few seconds later. I don't think it's a memory prob - I have 512k- any help or experience is greatly appreciated.

    I just fixed the problem...
    I set my avast standard shield to normal and the delay instantly went away -
    what WAS happening: at 10-13 seconds, ashserve.exe (part of my recently installed Avast antivirus) spiked to 97-99% cpu usage, which temporarily locked my computer as well as pausing the song.

  • Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

    Very strange behavior.  Don't entirely give up on the "Manually Added Items" category ... I have seen things magically appear there even after I've checked and seen nothing there.  I think things got real quirky when Apple released iCloud ... I don't remember extra copies of purchases lingering on my iPhone once transferred to my library before that.  Sure, if I bought an album directly to my iPhone it would stay on there even after I sync to my library, but if I deleted the album from the iPhone it stayed deleted.  Now it seems that there are some phantom copies that come and go with no explanation.

    I've tried deleting the album from both the phone and from iTunes and then redownloading them to both and the same problem occurs.
    If you're re-downloading an album to iTunes and your iPhone, that may perpetuate the problem.  What happens if you completely delete every copy of the album, then just download to your iTunes library and then sync the album to your iPhone from your library?  That should put only one copy on your iPhone.
    A few other things to try:
    1- Completely sign out of your Apple account on your iPhone, then re-sync to iTunes, then sign into your account on your iPhone again.  Maybe throw in a Reset or at least a power OFF/ON somewhere in the middle.
    2- Go to Settings/ General/ Usage, then select Music and when you see All Music, swipe your finger across it and tap the Delete button.  Before doing anything else, Reset your iPhone.  This does not actually delete your music, but seems to clear up some cobwebs left behind (people use this technique to reduce "Other" that swells up over time).

  • Help. On Demand constantly pausing.

    Whether I try to watch anything on Demand it is constantly pausing.
    It is worst then streaming off the internet - I am constantly having to hit the pause button in order to allow it time to 'buffer' and then still it cuts off and pauses on me.
    How can I rectify this?

    Can anyone help with this - so far its taken  me 45 minutes to watch 7 minutes of a programme?
    Thanks

  • Xperia T3 Android 4.4.4 Music constantly pauses by itself

    I have had this phone for about 6 months and love it, however lately whenever i listen to music, with the sony music app (formally walkman), it gets through one song then exactly2 seconds into the next song it pauses.  I want to do a factory reset but i would like to avoid that till i see if there is another solution.  Ive been mowing the lawn and having to take the phone out of my pocket to unpause it every 5 minutes is getting very annoying.  Thanks in advance for any help.
