Audio switches from Podcasts app to Music/iPod app

It is not happening consistently, but several times the audio playback on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) has switched from the new Podcasts app to the Music/iPod app with a simple stop and start using the button on my headphone. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've had this issue with all sorts of apps. Sometimes when pausing playback in Safari/iTunes etc. and then restarting it will start the Music app. Don't think it's an issue with this app in particular, but rather with the background audio API. Part of me suspects that the app is being killed to free up RAM, so the OS defaults to the music app.

Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen.

Audio stuttering in podcast app, IPod 6th gen. I don't know what triggers it, other audio is fine- only podcasts. Set on 1x speed. Affects all podcasts (not a media problem).
I can't see any setting that could be affecting it.

Just tried that and did not work. Also I do understand and have made podcast lists in the app. The problem for me is that when done with the podcasts I can't just reach down and get my Ipod unless my truck is not moving. Think safety of everyone on the roads.

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

The problem may have been in how you transfered it. You didn't go into much detail. Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below. Note Paragraph 5.
Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc . Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html . The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com . You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books. At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

How do I switch from German apps store to US store?

I have the same issue. I followed the instructions and successfully changed to the US store but my App Store and iTunes still accesses the old German one and so I cannot find or download US app store apps.
Do you meet the following requirements: 1) have a valid billing address in the U.S., 2) have a credit card billed to that address or an iTunes gift card purchased in the U.S. and 3) are you physically present in the U.S.?
If you don't meet all of those requirements, you can't purchase from the U.S. Store.

How to play other audio files in Podcasts app?

Hi all. Whenever I add audiobooks or recordings of radio shows to my iPhone, they go into the Music app. However, this doesn't have a placeholder function (that is, it doesn't remember at which you point you paused the file) or a sleep timer like the Podcasts app does. I find this really annoying, especially the lack of placeholder. Is there any way to get these things to play from Podcasts instead? I've searched on this but can't find any other questions about it. Surely other people find this irritating as well? Hoping there is some solution, maybe using a third party app?

Close Windows Media Player. Make sure you know where the song files are on your hard drive. Use the iTunes command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
If they are MP3s they will add directly to your iTunes library. If they are non-protected WMA files, they will be automatically converted and added. If they are something else, "measures" must be taken...
Let is know how this works!

HT1473 How to I put an audio book from my computer onto my iPod touch4

Hi, I got an audio book from my library and want to put it onto my iPod but I'm not sure how to.
I downloaded the book onto my computer
It's an odm file if that helps
And the website said it was compadable with iPods
But when I hook my iPod up to the computer and view its "files and folders" then drop the file in nothing happens. It's the same if I try to drop it any where else.

After switching from Windows to Mac, my iPod says "No Music"

I have an 80GB iPod Classic. I used to use a Windows machine, but recently switched to a MacBook Pro. Last night, I copied all of my music over to my Mac, and added some new stuff since I have more hard drive space now. I synced the iPod. All of the files are showing up in the iPod file browser within iTunes. So the media is there. However, when the device is ejected, the only media it says is available is photos. Meanwhile, it does say that I have used 68GB.
Although I have never had a problem with the device, I feared there could be a hardware issue, so I ran the onboard diagnostics. The results were:
For Retracts: 9
For Reallocs: 16
These numbers are low, so I don't think it's hard drive failure.
Do I need to do anything to reformat to Mac, other than what I did within iTunes?
Please help. I'm bored and need my iPod to work!
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Make sure you authorize the new MacBook iTunes first, and you're good to go, no need to reformat! Hope this helps!

Recording Audio Voice from Software App-All Static

I am attempting to record an audio software application for disabled persons, called Jaws, and all I get the audio faintly in the background and the rest is loud static. Tried recording from laptop with mic and w/o and same results. Using 5.5. Any thoughts? :-{

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.
Regards.

HT4437 using airplay from my ipod touch 4th gen. no audio output from the tv. on the ipod it shows that it is streaming to the apple tv. whats the problem

i get the air play icon on my ipod touch. when i click it the output from my ipod stops but i dont get any audio from my tv. whats the problem?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Putting audio track from a dvd on an iPod

I have a 2nd generation iPod nano 2g. Can the audio from a DVD be added to it?

If you can extract the audio off the DVD and convert it into a format that can be played on the iPod the answer is yes, but iTunes will not do all that for you.
You will have to find DVD ripping software to strip the content off the DVD. If it is a copy protected DVD then that would also be illegal.
