Automatic stop play(music) on itouch or newer ipod?

Hello,
I have used ipod on gigs for backing tracks from my seqeunces,etc...
I was wondering if the itouch will allow you to set the song list(s) up to
play one song at a time? Similar to the playlists in itunes?
I've been using an older ibook lately and it would be nice to have something more portable.
I sometimes forget to pause a song at the end and it moves to the next.
Thanks for any insight.

Been awhile since you posted this, so maybe you figured it out. The problem sounds like your songs were (accidentally) tagged as "Skip When Shuffling", and if your iPod is in shuffle mode it will only play one song. To fix this, go into iTunes, select all songs in your library, select "Get Info" and then select the Options tab, then un-check the "Skip When Shuffling" option. You'll have to re-sync your iPod to update its contents (or if you manually manage, you can do this directly on the iPod contents in addition to your library).

I have a brand new ipod nano and I am wondering why it stops playing music if I let it sit to long with out pressing the stop and it has a battery life

So I just got an Ipod nano from apple and I decided to pop it in and listen to it but if I do not use the touch screen for more than like a minute, it turns itself off and stops playing music. why?

This is usually an indication that the headphones are not plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the jack should still be seen. The newer headphone jacks on the 6G Nanos are a bit tighter than in previous generations and require just a bit of extra force to pop them all the way in.

Help! Music randomly automatically stops playing

Up until last night everything was fine. But now whenever I play music using the loudspeakers it will randomly stop playing after a few seconds and I have to re-press the play again. It will play for a further 2 seconds (or a bit longer) before the iPad automatically stops playing again. The screen can be on or off, but it will randomly stop playing.
If I use headphones, it'll be fine. But if I use the loudspeakers (which I do 99% of the time) the music stops AND if I use the headphones then remove the headphone jack the iPad still thinks I'm using the headphones even when they're not plugged in. It's annoying because when I want to change the loudspeaker volume it'll change the headphone volume.
It will play the music as if I'm using headphones but obviously no sound comes out. Im streaming music/watching videos online (i loathe using itunes), and havent had this issue at all previously. I haven't dropped it, its got a tpu case on it now. Any advice? :(

Try press the home button and lock until you see the apple logo. I hope this works ;-)

My ipod touch will not stop playing music

My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have an ipod touch 1st gen 32 GB. It stops playing music randomly. The battery has been replaced and I've tried restoring iOS 3.1.3 as a clean install but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The battery died so I had it replaced. Now it stops playing music (It was doing this before with the old battery when plugged into power cable)... it won't even make it through a whole track. I have tried turning off and on, turned off autolock and restored several times to 3.1.3 with no apps, just music but the problem persists.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-)

Lumia 900 Bluetooth won't stop playing music

If I want to have my phone available for handsfree calls and hear the directional prompts using Nokia Drive in my 2011 Acura TSX (not tech package) I have to have the audio set to Bluetooth Audio. But when I do that the Music app automatically starts and plays music. I can turn it off (using the Stop the Music app), but it comes back on after a few seconds. How can I make it stop playing music?
Tom

Hi TomKer,
Thanks for posting and welcome.
Nokia Drive voice navigation does not use or support Bluetooth as audio channel. If you are able to hear navigation through Bluetooth this might indicate an incompatibility between your car system and the Lumia. This may also indicate that your car system is possibly sending control signals over Bluetooth causing the playback of audio to start.
I'd suggest you verify this by connection to a different car system to see if you can recreate this behaviour there. You might also want to contact a Nokia Care Point or the Nokia Care Line (by voice, mail or chat) for further assistance. You can find them through the Contact us section on this page.

IPhone 4S stops playing music

Hi, my iPhone 4S randomly (or so I thought) stops playing music but still rings when a call connects and beeps when an email comes in. The on screen volume controls would disappear and the side volume button stopped working too. I have seen many many comments on google/apple etc by people with this same issue. Some people have even gone to the extent of writing blogs about this issue too. I had an old iPod 4 when they first came out and after about a year it developed the same problem. It had been a bit misused by my then young children and assumed it was our fault but when it happened on my 6 month old iPhone 4S I thought it was odd.
I initially blamed my recent software update to iOS 5.01 and hard reset the phone 3 separate times with varying temporary success (if you try a hard reset remember to back up first or you lose everything) I took it to an apple store and the assistant said he'd heard about the issue and after checking all my settings were ok he performed a soft reset which worked until.....I plugged my iphone back into its docking station.
I read a couple of threads online about the iPhone thinking it was in docking station mode and decided to gently poke a thin implement into the dock opening. Immediately and with the smallest of tweaks the volume controls appeared back on screen and my music played. It only appeared briefly but with a little more wriggling of the implement the control came back and so far has stayed put.
Apple want to charge 20 dollars for tech support calls but I've requested a call back for 'one off hardware faults' which makes the conversation free. I want to see what they have to say about what appears to me to be an inbuilt hardware problem. I'll keep you posted here. Beware that if you tinker with your equipment you could invalidate any warranty etc. I'm quite appalled that apple seem to have complete disregard for a their hardware failure and when we, as customers, pay top money for Their products we should expect top quality goods. The hardware should not be routinely confused by periphal hardware or lack thereof. Not good apple.
If you're reading this thread I assume you have the same problems and I wish you good luck. Maybe if we all call their support line (selecting the one off free call option) they might start to listen and do something about it......

I am on my 2ndiPhone 4s (in less than a week) and BOTH have had this stop-start music issue…
I got a new one last night when my original 4s (received on Wednesday 11/02/11) would not play alerts, keyboard clicks, music, or videos without the ear buds or Bluetooth (after nearly a dozen hard restarts, one restore through iTunes and a “deep” restore for the firmware at the Apple store). After I got my replacement, I was told at the Apple store not to sync through iTunes anymore if I am using iCloud because that would contribute to the problem?!?!?! I thought maybe it’s an iCloud problem because it needs a strong Wi-Fi connection which I don’t have here at the office…
I hope this is just a software fix because I am tired of all of these problems. 5 iPhones, 5 iPods and this iPhone (4s) is the worst... Apple, please get that operating system upgrade out FAST!

Stop playing music or a movie!

New To Apple TV
How do you stop playing music or a movie other than hitting "PAUSE"
Is there a way to shut down A TV other than pulling the plug?
Thanks

if you call multiple threads with say an overall 100K views with hundreds of comments a small userbase then I'll buy that for a dollar! all this since the last 2 updates to itunes???
But I guess it is always the same thing it's not apple it is the user or they are dumb and have no idea how to set up a network???? Even though most apple users just plug in the router, set a password and let sleeping dogs sleep!

Stops Playing Music and Goes to Home Screen

I have had THREE 32GB iTouch. I will be listening to music and all of the sudden it will stop playing music and go to the homescreen. The store the I bought it at says that this is not common but I have to think it is considering I have had THREE of them. Does anyone know why this might be happening or what I can do to fix it?

It's easy... restore your ipod.

IPhone stops playing music

My iPhone stops playing music. It only happens and happens conistently on certain files, old Protected AAC files I bought from iTunes. It seems to happen mostly (or always) at the same time, one minute eight seconds in. I notice it most on Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle, but also on other music from the same era of my downloads. Sometimes you can just skip to the next song, sometimes it has lost its way worse. It happens on both my new iPhone 4S as well as my old 3GS.

They play fine on the computer, just not on the iPhone.

My ipod touch stopped playing music in the middle of a song and now stops playing music. It says that it's playing a song but i don't hear anything. I've tried turning it off and on and restoring it's settings.

So like the title (which i thought was suppose to be a question to tech support) suggests, my ipod touch has stopped playing any audio sound. I've turned it off and on and restored it to it's default settings and still nothing. If it helps, it stopped playing music a few minutes after i accidently had some water on it.

- First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
- The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Try both headphones and speaker.
- If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
