Current firmware let you fast forward through audio files w/ virtual button

I know it didn't allow you to fast forward/rewind using the virtual buttons with earlier firmware. I do that all the time on my 5.5G iPod to skip through commercials.
I think with earlier firmware that functionality worked on video, but for some reason NOT audio.
Also, if the Touch turns off, or you switch programs or something, does it "remember" what you were playing last when you go back to the audio player program? Or would I get stuck drilling through menus every single time I do something else or it switches off?

My first guess is that the camera is set to 12bit audio. OnLocation handles that correctly sometimes, but it other times it basically assumes 16bit audio, which produces a Chipmunks effect. To the best of my recollection, however, when the player is in that funky state, only the audio is affected; there's no stutter or fast play of the video. So you may be running into a different problem entirely, but let's start by ruling out the 12bit explanation. To check this, you can either find the setting on the camera or check the metadata in OL--just type "Audio Sample Type" in the Metadata panel's search box.

Is there a way to fast forward through audio files? Like a lecture class I am taking? thanks!

Is there any way to fast forward through audio files in I-Tunes? I have some lecture recordings that I need to review.... If you cannot do it in I-Tunes, is there a program you could recommend?
Thanks!

How do you fast forward a video in iMovie?

I don't mean while viewing it I mean as a part of the actual video. Like say I was making of video of curling my hair...But didnt want the people watching to have to watch me for 20 minutes do my hair so as a part of the "youtube" video I wanted to let them see briefly what I was doing but fast forward through it.

Hi. Go into your project and select the part you want to speed up. Then click inside the clip and pull up the clip inspector (clip adjustments). Half way down is a speed adjustment where you can adjust things and make it go faster or slower.

Why can't I fast forward through music bought on itunes in my shuffle?

it's so weird. I purchased the new Peeping Tom cd and a Jesu Ep and when I try to fast forward through the tracks on my ipod it simply skips to the next track. All my other imported music (all from cd's) will let me do this with no problem? Do itunes tracks always do this? I've imported several albums and singles over the past 2 years but I don't recall this problem. Is this due to the QT update they issued? every time i mess with itunes it seems something goes awry. "sigh."
powermac 64, itunes 604.3, QT time update 7.1.1 Mac OS X (10.3.9) itunes 604.3, QT time update 7.1.1

No, not all ... just some of the purchased music tracks, and most of those concentrated in recent releases.
Your options are to either work with ITMS Support to get your d/l tracks replaced (frequently they'll be okay on the second try, but not always), or can go through a complicated sequence of burning off to CD and then reimporting the track (which seems to almost always work).
There are multiple threads about this very issue in this and other forums; a quick use of the Search window would have given you your answer before ever having to post.

IPod touch suddenly fast forwarding through songs and videos + voice control screen cutting in

Hi
In the last couple of days, it has started fast forwarding through songs and videos randomly. The voice control screen is also cutting in randomly. It happens as soon as I turn it on and play my first track or video. The only other problem I have noticed is that the volume controls on my headphones are no longer working. The headphones would be less than 6 months old and are genuine Apple ones. I don't think the problem is related because if I unplug them the fast forwarding still happens. I've tried powering it off and then re-starting it and I have been keeping the software up to date on it so I'm not sure what else I can try.
In saying that, this morning it seems to be working properly but I'm worried the problem will return. I still can't adjust the volume via the headphones though.
If anyone has any ideas about what I can do to resolve the fast forwarding problem, I would appreciate the feedback. The headphones I don't really care about because I can replace them.
I've had my iPod touch for a few years and use it pretty heavily so part of me is wondering whether it is just getting to the end of its life. I'm not sure what sort of lifespan I can expect from my iPod touch.
Thanks

Try:
- Try a regular pair of headphones
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Unable to fast forward through podcasts

I've recently noticed that I can't fast forward through podcasts on my iPod touch, specifically with NPR All Songs Considered ones (I don't listen to any other ones, so it may not be specific to these ones). Its annoying because I can't pick up from where I left off listening. Every time I try using the bar to move through the podcast, it starts over from the beginning. Is this intentional? Is it specific to the podcast?

This is a long standing problem with iPods and appears to be specific to podcasts that get encoded using LAME, arguably the best available encoder anywhere.
From what I can tell from searching over the years, this is due to the iPod looking at a very old style header (XING) instead of the proper field in the LAME set header. This is as near as I can figure out from the posts.
This causes problems like the iPod thinks the track is shorter than it really is (a good example of this is a long MP3 like one disc of an audiobook) and stops prematurely. Very annoying.
In the case of the NPR podcasts, the bug in the iPod causes crashes when you try to fast forward or seek.
Neither of these problems appear to be related in any way to "remember playback position", so don't necessarily go down that route.
An easy way to check for this issue on a podcast is to highlight it, and then right click, select Get Info. If you see LAME as the encoding, look out, your iPod will possibly not play it correctly.
These same podcasts play back absolutely fine on any other player, and over the years it has been consistently narrowed down to a bug in the iPod.
I sure wish Apple would fix this. I just had the same problem with a recent podcast on my 2nd gen Nano, so we loaded it onto my son's brand new iPod. I thought surely Apple would have fixed this by now, but sure enough, still broke on the latest Nano version!

The online flash player doesn't let me fast forward

- I'm using windows 8, 64-bit
- I'm using Google Chrome as a default browser
- Tried all other browsers including IE, Firefox, Opera and safari, and all of them had the same problem
THE PROBLEM IS: The online flash player doesn't let me fast forward %70 of all movies on the same websites that used to be working fine before, beside that, everytime i try to fast forward it keeps rewinding to the beginning of the video, I tried uninstalling flash player from control panel and reinstalling it, restarting my pc and uninstalling chrome and reinstalling it too, but nothing.

Please don't post the same question multiple times!

Unable to Fast Forward Through A Song Without It Restarting the Song

Hello,
I have a new 5th generation 80gb ipod. If I attempt to fast forward through a song, it moves the clock ahead, but then restarts the song. The same also occurs if I try to rewind back in during a song. At first, I thought it was a touch issue, but it is not.
Also, when a song starts to play, the clock clicks off 3 or 4 seconds, then starts back at 0:00, but the song keeps playing normally. Any suggestions? Thanks.

sounds like a bug on the new ipods to me

How Can I Fast Forward through clips - Any key Command?

I am watching some long clips in my event library ... I want to choose sections to move to the project library.
As the movie plays ... I can use the arrow (left and right) to slow mo forward or backward.
What I need is a key command that will give me a fast forward ... say 2 or 3 times play speed.
The only way I know to fast forward is to use the trackpad with my fingers but this way I keep losing my position on the clips and skip over rows ... you also have to drag back to the beginning of the next row and know where you are ..
To find parts of clips that you want to select and drag up to your project this seems like a necessity especially when viewing a long movie ... it's really tedious to have to drag through the whole thing.
AM I out of luck?

OOOpps ... sorry ... wrong forum ....

Can you fast forward in movies?

When I view a video, if I click the center button I sometimes see the "timing" bar (that shows time played and time remaining) although it doesn't seem to work all the time.
Even when I see the bar displayed, it looks like I can't use the wheel to select a starting time to play from? I expected to see a diamond that I can move around just like when I play music.
Am I missing something about the user interface, or do I just have to make sure I have the time to watch the whole video in one sitting?
FYI, for some reason the video appears under "music video" rather than movies, I'm nt sure why nor do I know if this might have an impact on playback capabilities

Hi Papa....
I have the classic 80. While a video is playing, if I push the center button once, I can use the touch wheel to change volume. If I double click the center button, then I can scroll through the video to fast forward and reverse. When I find the section of video I want, then I click the center button again and it goes to the point I selected.
Also, if I push and hold the right or left arrow, the video will fast forward and reverse. This way of fast-forwarding and reversing is not very precise. But it works for me.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

IPOD Nano Shuts Down When Fast-Forwarding Through Songs

I am having an odd but unfortunately repeated problem: I have my iPOD set on "shuffle songs" which shuffles my entire library. Sometimes when fast-forwarding from one song to the next, the screen goes black and the Apple logo comes on. The iPOD restarts fine though. I would appreciate any insight you might have...not sure if I should call Apple or if its something thats known as a nano quirk.
Thanks!

Hi wackydream!
This has happened to me before, too, (quite rarely, though. Once, maybe twice).
It would just be an out-of-the-blue kind of thing that never returned.
But with your kind of issue, you could first try resetting your iPod, and see if that makes any difference with the issue:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure to leave it on the white side of the switch).
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
If several attempts at resetting don't help, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes.
See this for details:

N91 new firmware, unable to fast forward or rewind

I just upgraded my Nokia N91 to the new 2.00.052 firmware and run into a problem. After the upgrade, I can no longer fast forward, rewind or pause tracks encoded in eAAC+ format. If I do attempt to do any of the above actions, the song pauses and just won't unpause. However, the problem doesn't occur with songs encoded in mp3 format.
I have tried formatting the hard drive and erasing the phone memory and updating the firmware again, but to no avail. I have been using the latest versions of PC Suite and Nokia Software updater.
This is pretty annoying, as these are fundemental operations that one might want to do when playing a song. And I love the eAAC+ format, don't want to go back to mp3.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all?
Cheers

Well, I don't use eAAC+ songs that much, but I can confirm that I have the same problem
It only plays the song from the begining.
