Car Stereo use and Nano - always starts at the beginning

when I plug my nano into my car stereo, it ALWAYS starts playing the first song by the first artist. Always. Even starts up as soon as the stereo recognizes the players.  How about resume last song?  Or not playback at all until I select something?  Is this a iPod setting?  Maybe it is the stereo setting.

Toyota with a Pioneer GPS with audio.  I did discover that when using a classic iPod vs. a nano, the playback worked as expected.  It picks up right where it left off.  So, it's definitely the nano, but to be honest, I really don't know what generation the thing is.  I don't think it is gen 7.  It was a gift.

  • How can I make my movies always start from the beginning?

    I want to use my iPod to present short videos as part of a live presentation. I've conquered the hurdles, and have the iPod sending video out to my projector, but I want to ensure that every movie starts at the beginning, even if I had cut it short in the last presentation.
    I thought I saw a setting for this somewhere, but now I can't find it.

  • CE Flash files always start at the beginning?

    I have had an online Continuing education course designed,
    which has the main contents embedded into .asp pages.
    The problem is that when customers "log-out", then return and
    "log in" again whithout closing thier browser, the fllash file
    always starts at the beginning, rather than where my database
    indicates.
    I "think" this is caused by the flashplayer plugin "keeping"
    the flash file in memory, and starting the "movie" again at the
    beginning? Thus if they close thier browser, deleting the flash
    file from memory, and re-starting the browser again, and "logging
    in" again, it functions correctly, beginning the flash file on the
    correct page (which is indicated in the database)
    If this IS what is happening, can this be corrected, so that
    upon "Log out" the flash file will be automatically removed,
    without the need to re-start the browser?

    I believe this will work for you. Does for me. Go to SysPref/Speech/Text to Speech. Check box of: Speak selected text when the key is press. Set key. Open the pdf and highlight what you want to hear. Hit key you set. When it's done with it's spiel highlight more text and hit key. It auto erases previous highlight. You'll see. It's not very ideal, but it's what is dealt.

  • HT1510 Is there a way to get the IPod Shuffle 3rd generation to go to the beginning of the playlist/music so I can go on the "Play In Order" mode and have it start from the beginning.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

  • Ipod always starts at the beginning.

    it used to work fine, started back at the song I shut it down with, and now it doesn't. it goes right back to the very first song again, making me have to forward through all the songs to get where i was. also starts all play lists in backward order. reset it to factory settings. No good. anyone help? thanks

    You might try pausing the shuffle before shutting it off. This is the way I do mine and it always starts up where I left off even if it is in the middle of a song. Remember that when you turn it back on that you have to hit the play button twice. Hope this helps.

  • Shuffled music always starts at the beginning

    iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.6 (but the problem was there with iOS 6, too).
    When I shuffle a playlist or all songs to listen to through Bluetooth, all works well as long as I keep listening.
    If I stop listening, do other stuff with my phone, and then start listening again, the shuffled music starts at the top of the playlist again instead of picking up where it left off like it used to.
    In other words.... Say I shuffle the music, which gets ordered as follows:
    Song A
    Song B
    Song C
    Song D
    Song E
    Song F
    etc.
    It starts at playing Song A. Now, let's say I stop playing music in the middle of Song C. An hour later, I start the music again.
    The old, correct behaviour would be that the Music app starts to play with Song C.
    The more recent, annoying behaviour is that the Music app starts again at Song A.
    I don't feel like pulling my phone out of my pocket every time I get in the car just to reshuffle the music.
    I know I'm not the only person who sees this behaviour, but I have seen no answers for it. How can we correct this?

    It appears that iOS 7.1 fixed this.

  • Video doesn't start from the beginning

    Please tell me there is a setting on the iPod classic to always start a video from the beginning of the video??!?!?! I am using the iPod classic for video projection.
    E.g.: I play video #1 until, say, 3:00. I select menu and go to another video or a song, a photo, whatever. I go back to video #1 and it starts at 3:00! WHY?
    I want iPod Classic videos to ALWAYS start from the beginning.
    Please tell me there is a setting for this.
    thank you

    I have good news for you, (compared to your other post!).
    Select the video in iTunes and click on *File/Get Info* and look on the Options tab. Turn off the tick in *Remember playback position.* You can bulk select some or all your videos to do this.

  • AudioInputStream won't start from the beginning

    I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but here's a weird the situation. I have a number of audio files that I play together. Nothing complicated.
        public void playAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
                audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
                audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
                audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
                audioFormat_1 = audioInputStream_1.getFormat();
                audioFormat_2 = audioInputStream_2.getFormat();
                audioFormat_3 = audioInputStream_3.getFormat();
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_1 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_1);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_2 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_2);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_3 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_3);
                sourceDataLine_1 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_1);
                sourceDataLine_2 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_2);
                sourceDataLine_3 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_3);
                new PlayThread().start();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(0);
        class PlayThread extends Thread{
            byte tempBuffer_1[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_2[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_3[] = new byte[100000];
            @Override
            public void run(){
                try{
                    sourceDataLine_1.open(audioFormat_1);
                    sourceDataLine_2.open(audioFormat_2);

                    sourceDataLine_1.start();
                    sourceDataLine_2.start();
                    sourceDataLine_3.start();
                    int nBytesRead;
                    while(((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_1.read(tempBuffer_1,0,tempBuffer_1.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_2.read(tempBuffer_2,0,tempBuffer_2.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_3.read(tempBuffer_3,0,tempBuffer_3.length)) != -1) &&
                          (stopPlayback == false)) {
                        if(nBytesRead > 0){
                            sourceDataLine_1.write(tempBuffer_1, 0, nBytesRead);
                            sourceDataLine_2.write(tempBuffer_2, 0, nBytesRead);
                            sourceDataLine_3.write(tempBuffer_3, 0, nBytesRead);
                    sourceDataLine_1.drain();
                    sourceDataLine_2.drain();
                    sourceDataLine_3.drain();
                    sourceDataLine_1.close();
                    sourceDataLine_2.close();
                    sourceDataLine_3.close();
                    stopPlayback = false;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
        }I also have a method that combines the three audio files into one. I usually call this method after having played the files for a short time.
        public void saveAudio() {
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Interesting enough, this code doesn't seem to combine the three audio files properly. What seems to happen is that the combined file starts at the location where I stopped playing. In order to get the files to start from the very beginning, I need to re-initialize the AudioInputStream.
        public void saveAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
                audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
                audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
                audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Is this normal?

    That definitely makes sense.
    I was under the impression that the AudioInputStream never loses the data it has read and that the AudioSystem.write method always starts from the beginning of this AudioInputStream. I need to stop treating the AudioInputStream like an array and instead treat it more like fresh water.Definately.
    AudioInputStream doesn't actually have anything in it...it's actually just a wrapper. Whenever you call read on it, it just reads whatever it's wrapping around, and returns the result. This is why it can contain both live data being recorded or file data or a network stream or...
    In this case, it is reading from a BinaryFile. Everytime you call read, it increments the file position... and it doesn't reset the file position when you call AudioSystem.write...

  • TS3581 CAN YOU CONNECT A SHUFFLE (gen4) TO A KENWOOD CAR STEREO USING THE SHUFFLE USB CABLE ?

    CAN YOU CONNECT A SHUFFLE (gen4) TO A KENWOOD CAR STEREO USING THE SHUFFLE USB CABLE ?
    I CAN USE AN AUX  3.5 TO 3.5 BUT NO WAY TO READ THE LIBRARY. PLEASE HELP ME!
    THANK-YOU
    ABIGMAC1

    Check the documentation for the car audio system for device compatibility.  A shuffle may not be compatible.
    If the car audio system is able to use a regular USB flash drive connected to the USB port, you should just get an 8GB USB flash drive for $5-10, load it with your "car songs" and leave it connected to the car audio system, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod.
    If the car audio system has an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack, you can get something like this
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    and connect your shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system.  You can then use your shuffle to play through the car audio system.

    Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement.  Not much else for troubleshooting here.  Sorry.

  • Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

    ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Finding Fonts in Fireworks - Why Does it Always Start at the Top, Instead of the Last Font You Used?

    I've been using Fireworks for many years and I love it (currently using CS5).  But I live irritated with the way it starts at the beginning of your font list when you're selecting a font - instead of going right to the last font you used, which is how many other programs work.
    Is there a way to change settings in Fireworks so it'll do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    I scanned that article and it explains how to set the number of recent fonts shown at the top. But here's what I was talking about...
    Let's say you're working on something and you have your text highlighted and you're working down the font list trying different fonts. You try a few A fonts, then B fonts, and so on, down the list.  Well, instead of Fireworks bringing you back to the current font IN THE LIST, everytime you go to try another font, it starts back at the top, and you have to scroll down and find where you were in the list ALL OVER AGAIN EVERY SINGLE TIME.
    In Illustrator, when you have the Character box open, it does exactly what I'm describing. If you have some text selected, every time you change the font and go back to the font drop-down, it takes to you to where you are. If Myriad is the font you are currently using, it doesn't start you back at the top when you go to the drop-down to find another font. It takes you to Myriad in the list.
