Audiobook bookmark reset after playing music

Does anyone else have this problem? My iPod (5G 30gb) plays audiobooks just fine, except when I play music and return to a bookmarked audiobook. At that point, it will play the audiobook for about 10 seconds then return to the main menu. When I try to load the same audiobook, it loses its bookmark and starts from the beginning.
I've reset the iPod, restored the software ... basically did all the usual diagnostics, but it doesn't seem to resolve it.
I did a google search and found another user who has the same problem. Has anyone else encountered this bug?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,

No, the option is already selected. It's not that the iPod isn't able to remember the position, it's just that it blanks out after switching from music to an audiobook (in particular, audiobooks of large sizes [over 150mb]).
This is not an issue with smaller audiobooks. It just seems to happen on the larger ones. I suspected that it might be a bug with the buffering optimization, but I thought I would see if anyone else has this problem.

  • IPod requires hard reset after playing podcast with chapters

    I've noticed that I need to do a hard reset (hold down menu and select buttons for a few seconds) after my iPod goes idle after playing a podcast with chapters (the Ricky Gervais show).
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Can reproduce the problem on a 20GB 4G and 6GB mini
    with another podcast series with chapters
    (fortunately not many I listen to have caught up with
    chaptering).
    The odd behaviour I've noticed is that the Ricky
    Gervais podcast, for example, only has to be present
    on the iPod and never listened to for the iPod/s to
    lock up when they go to sleep. A hard reset then
    required to bring them back to life until the podcast
    has been listened to and the iPod/s then resync'ed
    with the mothership to then remove it (and restore
    some sanity until the next one).
    I did conduct a hard restart of my 10GB iPod with no success. The only workaround solution I've discovered is to use the "Convert Selection to AAC" under the Advance menu in iTunes while selecting the podcast. It converts the podcast to a new AAC file without chapters, and it plays fine on my second gen iPod. But now my library has 2 copies of each podcast, one for iTunes, one for iPod. Anyone else have any luck with the 10GB iPod? I guess it doesn't like the new podcasts with chapters.

  • 3G Ipod crashes/resets after playing 20 seconds

    Hi...i have a 3G and after the latest OS upgrade (3.1.3) my ipod players crashes everytime i try to play music. sometimes it crashes within 2-4 seconds, othertimes the music will play for about 20 seconds and then the whole app blinks and i am back to the Home screen.
    this is SOOOOOO aggravating! i depend on my iPhone's iPod for a variety of needs (school lectures, videos for my daughter etc) and I cannot have this not working! i have tried changing options and such, and rebooting MANY times, and nothing works.
    i suspect that the 3.1.3 system is the problem and am hoping that a fix is coming, but until then does anyone have any ideas?
    thanks,

    Try Restoring the 3.1.3 software again as it may not have installed properly the first time.
    I have no iPod issues with 3.1.3 on my 3G.

  • IPod Touch turned black and stopped responding after playing music

    I was sitting listening to music last night with my iPod in my lap (not near any liquid), and when the album finished, I sat for a minute before trying to press the home button and choose new music. When I tried that, nothing happened; the screen remained blank. I tried pressing and holding the on/off switch and home button (not at the same time) and nothing happened. It did not respond to being plugged into my computer or to a wall outlet at home. My iPod has never had battery problems and that one, 45 minute album was the only thing I'd listened to since charging my iPod.
    This morning, after I saw the troubleshooting option to press and hold the home and on/off buttons at the same time, I tried this and it did work after 10-15 seconds. When it came back on, it showed full power (it had been plugged in all night, although it still didn't respond to normal home button/ power switch pressing before the reset) and had its display set at the beginning of the final song I'd played the night before. It synced normally, although, again, the last song I'd listened to was not recorded with a new play count/last played date. It's also been sort of slow since then.
    The problem is that I'm not going to be in town for long, and if this signals a deeper issue that's likely to recur or get worse, then I want to get it checked out before I leave. Is it worth it to take it into a store, or since it's working now, would there be nothing they could do to diagnose underlying issues?

    I would perform a restore. You probably have some software corruption.

  • IPod shuts down after playing music for 1 minute

    Whenever I try to listen to music or radio the device shuts down after exactly 1 minute. Can't find a setting to change this. I already did reset all settings, to no avail. Any help? Thanks!

    Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.  You shoul hear a sort of clicking noise when inserted the headphones to signal that they have been fully seated.

  • Nano turns itself off and appears to reset after clicking 'music'

    hey, i wonder if anyone can help.
    When i turn on my nano and click 'music' as you normally would to listen to a song or browse artists - my ipod turns off and then comes back on with the black screen with the white apple in the middle, much like when it is reset.
    This is continually happening, and i cannot access any songs or podcasts on my nano.
    please help, thanks.

  • Why do I have sound with everything except games. Has happened b4 after playing music, but I don't know how I "fixed" it.

    As above. I think it's my fault as I don't know how to quit music, I think all I am doing is pausing?

    1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right
    2. Check the volume and mute settings

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

    The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

    That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

  • Whenever connect my ipod to my car to play music it becomes unresponsive after a few minutes and takes 10 mins to restart after ipod is reset how do i fix this?

    ipod shutting down when i play music in the car via car connector

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    However, the problem may be that the car system is not compatible with your iPod and its iOS.  You might want to use the communities search box in the upper right and search for your car's make for similar problems.

  • How to recover audiobook bookmarks after upgrade to iOS 7?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and here's one of the issues that this brought up:
    I used to listen to audiobooks in the built-in Music app and the app would show the bookmarks or a time-code where I left off listening to my audiobooks and begin playing from that same spot even if I switched to listen to something else in the meantime. I'm concerned now because after this upgrade it doesn't show my bookmarks anymore.
    How do I get them back?

    Had you backed up the phone via iTunes or iCloud? If so, the backup includes audio book bookmark in the iCloud and you will be able to restore that backup to a replacement iPhone.
    If you had been syncing your phone to back it up, you can use 3rd party software like iPhone Bookmark Recovery to try to recover some of your data from your backup.  However, if your audio books are not fully included in the backup (they are only backed up as necessary to maintain call favorites and recent call lists).  This article will show what's included in the backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946.

  • After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!

  • After upgrading to iOS 7, my phone will no longer play music through my uconnect car audio, even after re-pairing... any ideas?

    I have a 2012 jeep and my 4s was perfect for playing music from my phone.  After upgrading to iOS 7, the uconnect no longer will play music thru the bluetooth...  The phone works fine and I have re-paired the device to the uconnect, but it still doesn't work.  Any ideas or settings that I can change on the phone?  Uconnect basically says that it is, what it is.. they cant change the settings on the stereo....  HELP!

    In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

    I think a few have.
    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
