Apple Headphones causing iPad video to freeze/skip?
I have been using the apple headphones with my ipad that came with my iphone 3GS, the ones with the mic and volume control on them.
However, recently when watching video with this headset plugged in the video randomly freezes, skips, stops and jumps to other chapters.
Since these headphones have the ability to do all this by double/triple clicking, etc, I'm assuming the headphones are somehow inadvertently sending these signals to the ipad, because when I don't have them plugged in (or use older versions of the apple headphones) I don't have the same issue.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and do you think it is an issue just with the headphones or could it be with the ipad itself?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
It is really good to hear that I'm not the only one!
However, I'd really love to know if this is an issue with the iPad or the headphones before I consider buying a new pair of headphones. I like the ability to pause/skip/etc with the headphones, but if that feature comes with the price of random skipping/freezing/etc, then its obviously not worth it!
Anyone else having this issue? Should I be buying new headphones or returning my iPad?

The iPad video freezes or goes black when playing a downloaded movie
Quit the app and restart and see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
Apple TV causes my computer to freeze up
I have a Dell laptop about 3 years old. I've used to stream video from the internet all the time and with my new Apple TV (the little one) I can now let the family watch our home movies on the TV without having to hook the laptop to the TV. However, every time I access my computer from the Apple TV menu and start to watch a movie, after about 5 minutes my computer freezes up and it requires a hard reboot. If this were happening with other forms of streming, then i would think something is wrong with my laptop. but it only happens when I stream to the Apple TV. Anyone else experience this or have an idea what this could be caused by?
ThanksThe MBP is picking up the signal of the remote. Go into system preferences - security - general. Click on the padlock, go into advanced. Check disable remote control infrared receiver.

Since downloading 8.1.3 onto my iPad, video streaming through my Apple TV freezes after a few minutes whilst audio continues as usual. Anyone experienced this and if so, is there a fix?
8.2 is out...perhaps that will address your problem.

I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am up to date on the OS 7.1.1. Video and audio is froze on my end, only video freezes on the other end. It doesn't make a difference who makes the call either.
No, there isn't any setting that you are missing. Have you tried force closing FaceTime, and resetting your iPad?
In order to close FaceTime, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not make a difference, you could try resetting all settings, if you reset all settings you will have to enter all of the device preferences again in the settings app. That takes some time to accomplish, but you will not lose my data, media, apps or anything like that. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad first, restore the iOS, then restore the backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings -
iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
ToddTry this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Headphones causing random Play/Pause, skipping
When I workout I use my apple headphones to listen to music on my iPhone 4 and in the last couple of weeks my headphones were causing the songs to randomly skip to the next song or pause the song, etc. I figured my headphones were old and the sweat finally got to it, but I tried new ones and they are doing the same thing. I also heard something like this was happening on monster headphones that had ControlTalk. Is this related?
not sure about the pausing. it could be sweat in the contacts. Do you have shake to shuffle turned on in the ipod settings? this might be the reason for skipping songs

What could cause video to freeze up in flash player?
What could cause an .flv to freeze up and not play in the
flash 8 player? After creating a .swf flash movie in Flash Pro 8,
it plays fine, then an hour or 2 later, it freezes up. I re booted
my PC and it again plays fine. Anyone know what could cause my PC
to not play an .flv until I reboot my machine?
Could the flashplayer have encountered the stop() command? It
plays fine for a while so I don’t think that’s the
problem but I could be wrong. I did not add any actionscript to the
video, I just created it by running the Import and export to .swf
commands.
I'm running a W2K machine, 7200 rpm sata drives and 2.5 gig
of ram. I did not upload the .flv and .swf to server yet, just
testing it on my local machine.Or could this be a problem with my Flash player install?
It's strange 'cause it's an intermittent problem, it works
fine for a while and then it freezes up. -
What happed to the iPad video tutorials on Apple's website?
I can't locate any of the extensive video tutorials on iPad (or for much else for that matter) on Apple's website - did they remove them or put them in some incredibly secret place? They used to have them for most all of their products -- now it seems they are only available for software products.

What would cause my video to keep freezing?
Greetings, all ye of greater knowledge in areas like this.
Recently, I have had a strange problem with my video freezing. If I'm viewing the video on my timeline, it will ocassionally freeze, but my audio will keep playing. I can stop the timeline and hit play again and it unfreezes the video, but it still freezes at random while my audio seems to play without a problem.
Where this is becoming a nuisance is that my video is freezing in the same way when I try to print to tape. The audio will continue, but it will get stuck on a frame somewhere and will stay on it through the rest of the video while it's printing to the tape. Additionally, when I try to capture footage from my camera, I can get about 15 seconds into a clip and then it will either drop frames or freeze on my while the audio keeps going.
Does anyone know what may be causing this? It almost seems like there is a lag somewhere in my system, but I can't figure out where. This literally just seemed to pop up one day and it's like my computer has been running slower. i'm not sure if this is a FCP problem or a system problem, but I think it may have started with FCP.eee! So many posts.
I currently have 2 harddrives hooked up. One has about 37.56 Gigs left on it (probably just over 3/4 full) and the other is nearly full. My files are saved onto it. I am editing in DV format and everything is rendered.
I have a drive allocated as the scratch disk.
I don't believe the drive is going to sleep. I would think it would effect my audio as well, since they are both located on the same drive.
For what it's worth, I ended up ejecting the drive I was using as I needed to do some other work and my system seemed to speed back up. I reopened Final Cut with and it's like my system isn't bogged down anymore. I may try capturing to tape using a different drive and see if maybe it was the drive itself that was bogging down my system. -
Last op system update on mine/my wife's iPad causes all video apps (Netflix/Hulu/CBS/History,etc) to NOT flow uninterrupted; constant breaks. Type problem into Safari and many folks having same problems wig Hulu and other video/TV apps crashing repeatedly! It's EXTREMELY irritating and aggravating! The apps didn't crash like that until AFTER the latest operating system update for iPads was pushed/downloaded.
Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Firefox 6 causes my video card driver to freeze.
Since your last update the colors in Firefox have been glitchy and often change shades. Then the video driver freezes and gets recovered. It will do this two or three times before the computer locks up and has to be unplugged. I avoid Firefox and uninstalled it and the problem with my computer has gone away.
It is so unstable that I cannot even use this version at all. I would prefer version 5. I have Windows7 SP1 on an Intel i7 920 and 12 GB of ram. A Gigabyte SOC 560Ti with latest drivers. Please help.

Video track freezes/audio works
iMovie5 43 minute project stopped working when about 95% complete. At one point had no control - wouldn't start or stop playing. Now the first video frame freezes but audio continues to play and timeline marker continues normally. If I stop and restart, it will pick up a frame and then skip a few frames(jerky motion)and again freeze frame while audio continues normally. I'm wondering if the project file is corrupted and I need to scrap it and start over. It is somewhat complex( for me) with two cameras,quite a bit of extracted audio,overlays ,music etc. Project used about 15GB,and there is about 25 GB of space left on HD. Worst case scenario, I do have original tapes.
Hullo HiFive - I wonder if your problem is caused by the often-reported issue of too many extracted audio clips. A search for 'extracted audio' would bring up a number of such cases, and workarounds.
See here for example:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
and also, another good fix:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=587952&tstart=0
Increasing sluggishness and jerkiness is the indicator of this issue. It can be tested by progressive removal of extracted clips. One workaround is to share the audio only to Quicktime (AIFF), and reimport the resulting single audio track.

Hi,
I've been experiencing a lot video playback freezing, I've noticed it happens on youtube. It is not my internet connection, the video freeze even it's already been downloaded. It happens with all video resolution from 360P to Full HD, I've tried all majors Internet browser: Firefox, Safari, Chrome.
I have Leopard, a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM.
A 250GB HD with (at least) 10GB of free space.
It shouldn't freeze for so low quality videos.
Any help?
Cheers,
-- rafaelDo you have powered speakers or headphones plugged in?
If so, try unplugging them and seeing if it will play the video.
I started having this problem right in the middle of watching a video and it would freeze playback every time I plugged in my speakers. Internet searching yielded no results, but an OS software update from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 fixed my problem. You say you have Leopard, so I am not sure if a software update is available for you, but check under the apple menu > Software Update. If there is an update related to the operating system, install that. It worked for me!
