Cover flow and playing music

Hi, can some one try this with their touch and tell me what happens?
Start a song, while song is playing, go to cover flow mode and just start flicking to next album arts. After about 20 seconds of flicking, song will just stop. I tried this over and over and song just stops. Is this a bug?
thanks

Nope, I did that and my music still continues to play. So I don't think it's a bug. Try reseting you touch.

4th gen. iPod touch restarts when using Cover Flow while playing music

I was just listening to music the past few months ever since I got my iPod touch back in August (and I love it) but for the past week I have been having this annyoing issue when I tilt my iPod touch to use Cover Flow. When I tilt the iPod while playing a song, the Cover Flow (and everything else on the screen) freezes and the music skips much like a CD skipping, then it restarts itself with the dotted circle loading symbol.
I am using a 4th generation iPod touch upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.
I have also noticed it only does this on certain albums by the way; some do it, while most others don't. I think the issue may be with the artwork as it's custom artwork and not artwork downloaded from iTunes.
Any help with this if possible? Thanks.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Cover flow Causing iOS5 Music App Crash

Since I've updated to iOS5 on my iPhone4 cover flow in the music app jitters and if I swipe too quickly it becomes increasingly laggy and not smooth at all then it ends up crashing the music app. Any ideas?

Same problem here. I don't use cover flow but just play one song. Goes fine with downloaded songs but with imported cd's (and their covers) it crashes. I've now downloaded the artwork for those albums and now it works fine. Apples way of saying you should download from iTunes instead of buying cd's I guess...

Cover flow and album sort issues

I just got a 80GB iPod classic for Christmas and I have noticed some annoying differences between iTunes cover flow and iPod cover flow:
1. In iTunes cover flow, when you have songs with "Unknown Album", they clutter up the cover flow for each artist. In iPod cover flow, they are sent to the back of the cover flow in a nice little "Various Artists" cover. I like how this works on the iPod better.
2. iTunes cover flow sorts by album artist, so you don't see a separate album for each non-album artist song.
For example: If I set my album artist for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" (don't ask why, this is how i like it sorted) then I will only see one "Saturday Night Fever" rather than one for Bee Gees, one for Kool & the Gang, etc.
iPod cover flow sorts by artist, so you see a separate album for each non-album artist song. I like the way this works in iTunes better.
3. When sorting by "Album by Year" in iTunes, syncing the iPod doesn't seem to follow the same sorting. Albums are still sorted on the iPod alphabetically. I want them to sort by year on my iPod.
So I would appreciate it if someone could help me with all 3 of these issues. As you can see, sometimes iTunes is better for me, sometimes iPod is better for me.

3. Playlists should be sorted in the same way as they are in iTunes. The Cover Flow order is fixed.
This is not the case, at least not with iTunes 7.5.0.20 and my 80GB Classic running 1.0.3 on it (current version as of this writing). In iTunes, under LIBRARY, I select Music, and I have my music sorted via *Album by Year*. This works perfectly in iTunes. I'll use my Soundgarden library as an example, as it shows the problem nicely.
*_iTunes order_:*
Ultramega OK
Louder Than Love
Screaming Life/Fopp
Badmotorfinger
Superunknown
Songs From The Superunknown
Down on the Upside
A-Sides
That's ordered by date and is perfect. +Ultramega OK+ was released way back in 1988, while A-Sides was released nearly 10 years later in 1997. In Cover Flow View it works great. However, in the iPod it's sorted alphabetically, which is completely wrong:
*_iPod Classic_:*
A-Sides
Badmotorfinger
Down on the Upside
Louder Than Love
Screaming Life/Fopp
Songs From The Superunknown
Superunknown
Ultramega OK
This is totally wrong. And I haven't yet found a way to force it.
Apple, please, this shouldn't be that difficult.

Who deos my iPad 4 keep switching on and playing music?

I have recently done a restore on my iPad 4 with retina display. But now it keeps switching itself on and playing music - sometimes the track is rushed through and sometimes it plays normally. Anything I can do about this?

I am on an Ipad2 and I have the same problem. I first noticed it about a month ago. I put my Ipad to sleep, close the cover and then some time later out of the blue it just starts playing music from my music library. I have to keep my earphone plugged in because I have my Ipad at work with me during the day and it is very embarrassing when this happens.
I do not have any blue tooth devices and I don not know how to stop it.

Iphone pauses and flips to cover flow and back with other earphones

If I use any other earphones than the ones that are provided, my iphone pauses and plays randomly, and flips to cover flow and back without any movement... any help?

Connect the two devices that are showing large backups to your computer and check the capacity guage in iTunes to see how large "Other" is. Sometimes this can grow to be extrememly large, requiring you to restore the device to reduce it to a more reasonable level (approx. 1GB).

Cover Flow and pictures of album...

Alright, hey peeps, I have a SLIGHT(ya right) problem. When I take songs from my comp to my iPod classic (80g), when I go on "Songs" it shows an album right? Yeah, well, the thing is, when I go on SONGS, it only shows ONE album picture. Thats ok, but when I go to cover flow, the other album pictures (That are visible on Windows Media Player) are NOT there! Where are the picture?! And when I listen to the song (the cover of the album in this one is a large ship stuck in an iceberg) and its not there while you can clearly see it in WIndows Media Player. Please people help out because I AM VERY FURIOUS!! I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR KIND AND HELPFUL WORDS!!

iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.

How to open and play music on Beats Audio in my new HP ENVY PC

I bought a new HP ENVY PC that comes with Beats Audio.
How to I open it and play music?
How to I import music to Beats Audio?
Thanks fr your help

Hi,
Beats audio does not provide a program for playing music. You can open Beats audio in Control Panel and configure sound characteristics using the various options available such as the graphics equalizer.
You can play music by opening Windows Media Player or using Cyberlink PowerDVD.
You can also "Google" media players for other programs.

Not Charge
- See:

iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- 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.

Hi
I have an Ipod80G as well.
But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?

ITunes keeps opening by itself and playing music.

My iTunes keeps randomly opening up by itself and playing music. When it happens, I quit the app and it stops for the day, but it will happen again randomly. Like days or weeks later. I don't know why my computer has decided to start doing this recently, but it's really getting on my nerves.

Sooo annoying. And STILL not fixed.

Unable to successfully install iTunes and play music

I have been using iTunes in Windows for over a year and I regularly update the program, when the option pops up. I have never had a problem until now and am completely unhappy. In February (I know this was so long ago, but I've tried everything and can't remedy the problem, so here I am) I downloaded version 6.02, I think it was and my music wouldn't play. So I reldownloaded it and still nothing. I searched these discussions and followed the instructions to uninstall everything. I'm not worried about the music I have everything backed up. So I tried to uninstall everything and I did, but I was unable to delete QuickTime and its components. This was in April. I was really busy and stopped dealing with it, but I was viewing some webpages which required QuickTime and even though it is still on my computer, I was unable to open the pages. I think my iTunes problem is with QuickTime but I don't know, if someone would please help I would appreciate it, because I have been unable to update my ipod, buy new music, and play music on my computer for way too long now. Please help, I would appreciate it, and if I can offer any extra information which would help I will, thanks!

glad to be able to point you in Lorraine's direction, AmySue!
with the syncing thing: if you're planning to use unchecking to manage music syncing to your ipod, first plug in the ipod, and wait until it shows up in the itunes sourcelist. then go "edit > preferences", and click on the "ipod" tab. make sure that "only update checked songs" is checked in there, and click "OK".
that technique can get a bit unweildy for keeping more than a few songs off the ipod, though. another thing you might want to consider is creating a playlist containing all the songs you want on the ipod ("ipod syncing"?), and then heading back into the ipod preferences tab, selecting "Automatically update selected playlists only", and then selecting the "ipod syncing" playlist in the list beneath that, and then clicking OK.
for a bit more info on the various syncing/updating options, see this user tip:
