Apple TV skips music

I ve got a play list set on my iphone 5 wirh some song files and also video music files.
After playing a videoclip (video music) on the iphone, actually airplaying to the Apple TV, it (iphone ou apple tv) skips the next music on the play list and starts playing the one after.
example:
Play list
(1) video clip
(2) video clip or song
(3) video clip or song
When the first video clip (1) is over the iphone plays the 3rd video clip or song (3).
Has anyone had the same problem? How to solve it?

Audio playback on my Apple TV has been having very quick delays, maybe half a second, then continues playing. It's pretty random but getting very annoying. Anyone had a similar issue?
Yes, has happened randomly for me for over a year on at least 2 AppleTVs.
Usually happens when watching video/music videos, the audio briefly drops out but video is unaffected. Also can happen with music occasionally. Do you see it with video?
I'm not convinced it's a network issue though can't entirely discount that,as my router occasionally hangs, but I think it's often a case of AppleTV struggling to do all playback/background tasks from time to time, maxing out cpu usage, and audio being affected somehow.
Some users have found it doesn't seem to happen if iTunes is closed, raising the possibility of some non-playback/streaming related communication process affecting the AppleTV. Some have found unchecking 'Look for AppleTV's' in iTunes has helped.
Lastly, it may be a sign of early hardware failure, most likely logic board or hard drive. One of mine that regularly did this eventually gave up the ghost.

Skipping music, "sector error" & lower than usual capacity

I've had this incarnation of my (20gb) iPod photo for a few months, and it's worked fine until now. I went out with it the other night, and it played well for the several hours I needed it. The next day as I was going home, the music started skipping in the middle of a song: say I was listening to Song A one second, the next it was playing the middle of Song B. It still said I was playing Song A, and I could scroll the song back to the start, and it did the same thing once it reached a certain point. I thought hmm about it and went on to another song, only to have it happen again. So I reset the iPod, and when it came to it wasn't recognising any music as being on there.
Apparently it hadn't wiped the hard drive entirely, because when I got home I was able to get most of the movie files I've had stored on there off onto my PC. Out of maybe 12 700mb files, 3 came up with errors. I can't remember the wording and I'm annoyed I didn't write it down, but I know the phrase 'sector error' was involved somewhere.
But this and the skipping led me to restore the iPod. HOWEVER, when I did this and went to put my music back on, I found that iTunes was now reading the iPod's total capacity as 16.01Gb (it's now changed to 16.03), as opposed to the usual 18.62Gb it should be. I also restored the drive through Windows, to no avail. Windows Explorer also sees it as 16Gb.
My meagre research and vague understanding of the topic has led me to believe that the movie files and the skipping music had to do with the sector errors, and that bits of the hard drive have somehow become corrupted. This might also explain why 2.5Gb aren't being recognised by anybody. I've had music on the capacity-amputated iPod since, and there have been no problems with playback since (perhaps because it doesn't want to use that 2.5Gb anymore). Does anyone know how I can get back my full capacity, or is this one of those send-it-back-to-Apple type issues?

Nope. All the tracks play fine on my powermac. I tried the solution in the link you posted last night; didn't work. I'm not sure what to do. I keep getting the 'disk could not be read or written to' error. It's annoying.
PS: To the other guy, restore your ipod. Try it a few times until it says it was successful. Then in itunes, after a transfer fails, rightclick on the ipod and click 'update' for hte calanders and stuff. It kinda 'wakes it up' a bit so you can add a few more songs before it wigs out.

How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
The same for my daughter and for me.
Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
Thanks a lot

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

Can i have a apple id for music and another for icloud?

You can use one ID for the iTunes store account where you buy music, and another for an iCloud account.

New vs old apple TV as music server

I'm currently using an Apple TV as our music server, though because it runs hot and sits in our cabinet, I have to reset it all the time. I'm intrigued by the new Apple TV, but also know that it only does streaming music as it doesn't have an HDD.
For the new Apple TV:
1. Would I need to keep my computer on all the time if I wanted to use the Apple TV and stream music?
2. Is there a way to attach a dedicated hard drive to the Apple TV either directly or through our home network so that I could listen to music without needing to have our computer on?
One of the best things about the old Apple TV was music that was on the Apple TV itself, but of course, it meant it ran hot and would need to be reset a lot.
Any recommendations?

I assume so.

I assume not.
However since no-one has one yet I could be proved wrong.

I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

From the LOGIC STUDIO SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT :

Except as otherwise indicated, you may use the Apple and third party audio file content (including, but not limited to, the Apple Loops, built-insound files, samples and impulse responses) (collectively the “Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on aroyalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your film, video and audio projects.

This means, you can use all Apple Loops in your music, they're royality-free.

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos from PC to iMac and can't find the files on iMac even though it was "successful" any help?

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos to iMac. After several hours it was "successful" but I can't locate it on the iMac. Any ideas for the rookie?

The music should be in iTunes and your photos should be in iPhoto. What happens if you launch those applications?
Best of luck.

Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not. I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV. Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled". Any ideas?

If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks. When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.

Apple Maps and Music apps

There are just 2 Apple apps on my iPhone 6 which do NOT connect via Bluetooth to my Buick Lacrosse 2010. These areȘ Apple Maps and Music app. Every other app (Apple and non-Apple made) work just fine.
Any solutions?

Double tap Home button and delete Maps from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

HELP finding the Apple Ad Commerical music

Can someone please direct me to a site that may have the APPLE COMMERCIAL mimic music (the "Get a Mac" ads with the white background)
or suggest something?!??!
HELP!!!

This is what I do - as i like to see all my file bit rates in a column list:
In iTunes got to: 'View' on the menu bar > select 'View Options' > check the 'Bit Rate' box.
Now there is a column listing the bit rate of all your files in 'Music Library mode' next to the artist, title etc.
If you have created specific playlist folders (down the LHS) these will not have the bit rates listed in them unless you go into the playlist folder and repeat the process there.
You can also drag this column and position it where you like to see it.

Apple TV remote skips music tracks when navigating menu

I've just set up my Apple TV and paired it to my Macbook through home-sharing. However, when I'm navigating the main menu (using the Apple TV remote), it will pause/skip/go back on the music tracks that are playing, as well as moving between menu items. Is there any way to keep the same track playing without skipping it every time you click the remote?
I have set up the remote app on my phone which doesnt seem to suffer the same issue but I'd like to use the tv remote if possible.
Thanks

Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Click Advanced in the lower right. Click "Disable remote control infrared receiver."

IPod touch 4g skips music on bluetooth

I have a new iPod touch 4th Gen with iOS6.1.3 and bought it to play music in my car, a 2011 Toyota Aurion (Camry) with a standard Toyota audio system which has bluetooth. I also have an iPhone 4 using iOS 5.1.1 - there is no issue at all playing music through the car audio with the iPhone nor any other device I have other than the iPod.
The problem is with my iPod touch. I have synced it to my car's audio but when I start to play music it will skip for a while and settles down and it seems ok. Sometimes it never settles down and other times I wait for a few minutes before I press play and everything is OK. If I only have a 10 minute drive half of that time I spend trying to get the ipod working properly. The iPod works perfectly with the audio if I use the 3.5mm plug but I lose most steerng wheel controls as they work only with bluetooth, other than volume.
I have re-paired it several times, done phone resets, etc. but nothing changes. From what I've read it seems to be an iOS 6 issue and others have managed to fix this by updating their car audio's bluetooth. I don't think there is an update for the Toyota audio system.
Any other ideas? It is FRUSTRATING buying a new device only for it not to work 100%. Everything else om the iPod works as it should.
Would appreciate possitive assistance with this. Thanks.

Hello Ramjet7,
Congratulations on your new iPod touch! It is definitely frustrating when you cannot get the full use of a new device.
I found an article that has some tips for troubleshooting Bluetooth connectivity with third-party devices including car kits. I recommend reviewing the sections titled "Intermittent iOS-to-Bluetooth accessory connectivity" and "Cannot connect to a paired device" in the following article:
iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards

Skipping music

I know that other topics have been posted about their IPod skipping through the songs without playing anything. That is not my problem. My Ipod video/photo will start playing just fine and then all of a sudden (at various times and not always) it will skip to another song play that for a bit perhaps 2 songs or so, but then it returns and starts playing the original again. Has done this with audio books as well. I have not used the video much so have not noticed it. I do remember that my Ipod mini would do it on occasion but my son has that and has not said anything. Also the IPod is always stationary on the desk or where ever but not while I am walking although it has happend then as well.
Thanks

Problem with Apple Lossless, skips some songs! Ipod Video 30 gig

I would love to play my music in higher quality then mp3 so i re ripped my albums to apple lossless (knowing ipod don't play FLAC) but when i try to play a song the ipod often skip the song and go to the next song and when i get it to start playing the first song, it can skip every other other song (from one to three) what's up with that?
My firmware is 1.2.3

Hi,
I brought my ipod yesterday and had the exact same issue. it would skip certain songs frequently and was extremely frustrating. Im not sure if this is the case for all ipods (i have an ipod nano 16Gb 4th gen, with firmware 1.0.4), but i fixed my issue in a series of steps. Im not sure which exact part of my method did the job, but here it is:
1. plugged it into iTunes and clicked "restore" under the tab "summary". WARNING: This will delete everything, and restore factory settings. im not sure if this is necessary, but youll need to delete the songs which skip anyway.
2. pressed the eject button IN ITUNES (under "devices", and next to your ipod icon), ejecting the ipod. wait for the ipod to specify when it is ready for it to be unplugged. proceed to unplug said ipod.
3. Choose the language of your ipod, and go into playback settings and (settings/playback or something) and turn OFF "shake" and "energy saver"
4. Plug your ipod into your computer again and drag all the songs onto your ipod using itunes.
5. after it has finished copying, WAIT until the ipod no longer says "synching", and until it says "connected"
6. Press the eject button IN ITUNES (again, under devices, and next to your ipod icon)
7. Eject when the ipod says it is ok to do so.
As i said, im not sure which part of the method did it for me, but i think it might be the way in which i was ejecting it. Before i was ejecting the ipod on my desktop. I think it is important to eject it using itunes. Anyway this fixed my ipod. Im not sure if it will do the same to yours, but if its making you very angry (to say the least) like it made me, its worth a try i guess. I would appreciate it if people let me know if this works.
