Fast forward icon!

I don't know why there is a fast forward icon instead of a play/pause icon on the upper-left of my ipod. It is always there even it is paused/playing.

This does not affect the data on your iPod. It is similar to restarting a computer.

How do I stop my music from fast forwarding all the time?

Every time I try to play something on my iPod, it fast forwards through the song I'm trying to listen to or several songs or even the whole CD and I can't listen to any music at all. I also have trouble getting it to sleep and to stop playing. Do I have to replace something or is this fixable?

In the previous software you could double tap the home button and the apps icons would appear (shaking) and all you had to do was to press the red - button to turn off. Well since updating to iOS7 all have been able to do is pause but I am unable to turn it off from playing in the background.
A friend of mine says to swipe upward but I still don't see a delete/off button.

Fast Forward/Skip over podcast ads using Itouch?

I listento many podcasts that have ads. Is there a way to skip through the ads with the touch? I usually tap and drap and end up missing some of the content as I move along the timeline. Appreciate any info. I have the itouch 2.0. Much easier to skip using a scroll wheel on my mini. Hope there is a workaround.

You can also fast forward and rewind by holding down the track skip icons (the ones which you use to skip entire tracks). The longer you hold, the faster your iPod will scrub through the track.

Fast forward problem in iTunes 6.0.1.3

Hello
I am using iTunes 6.0.1.3 on Windows XP Pro.
The situation is this. I have a song that is 7:30 long. When I play it normally it works just fine. However when I use the fast forward and advance to time mark 6:45 and start playing it is actually playing the part of the song that is at 6:00 (within a second or two), I let it go ahead and play and when it gets to 7:30 it just stops and jumps to the top of the menu tree (both it iTunes and on my ipod (40 gig 4g).
I have tried the fast forwarding in Music Match and Adobe Audition and it works just fine. I have tested the mp3 file with all the editors and players I have and it works great.
It appears there is some type of synch issue with fast forward and I don't really know where to start.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Well, I've noticed this problem at work (while using my work laptop on a network with other users -- some who have iTunes 5 and some iTunes 6) and at home (using a completely different laptop).
At first I thought it was a configuration problem on my work laptop, but now I'm thinking it has something to do with iTunes itself.
The weird thing is: People at work who use iTunes 5.0 can see the shared drives without a problem. Those with 6.0 cannot. So this problem is replicating itself in two completely different environments -- leading me to believe it's something in iTunes 6. Hmm....

ITunes starts fast forwarding tracks after 1hours continuous play?

Hi I have recently updated windows XP on my computer to service pack three. After this update when I am listening to iTunes it suddenly started playing the songs in my library too quickly as if it was stuck on fast forward.
If you stop itunes playing then press play or select a different track it continues to play too fast. The only way to fix the problem is to close itunes and re-open it.
I have now found that this problem starts after iTunes has been playing music for just over an hour, so currently I'm having to close and re-open itunes ever hour to keep listening to music.
Any Idea why this might be happening?
I'm running XP SP3, 3GB ram, 3GHz processor, 200GB HD no where near full. Its iTunes version 8.2.1.6.
Thanks
Liam

Anyone else have this problem? I have now timed the problem to exactly 1hour 9minutes of continuous play, so if you play for 30 mins, pause for 15 then play iTunes starts fastforwarding 39 minutes later.

Firefox crashes when I try to rewind or fast forward netflix?

I have a weird problem with netflix I've been dealing with for awhile and it BUGS me to no end.
Whenever I try to fast forward or rewind on netflix, the browser freezes up and then my whole computer is frozen and dead.
I can click on the progress bar of netflix to wherever, and the little red circle appears and spins for about 4 seconds, and then it just freezes up and a few seconds later my whole computer is pretty much useless and I'm forced to just shut it down improperly.
It's not a huge deal I guess, I just try not to ever need to rewind a little bit when I miss something, but when I do need to, it's annoying as heck.
I use firefox, because I also have a problem watching netflix on chrome (it's choppy and I can't figure that out either, I've tried everything) so my preferred browser of choice is firefox for netflix) but this issue is getting annoying. (If it makes a difference, I can fast forward or rewind netflix fine on chrome, I've tried it just today).
I've figured out that if I rewind and give it like 3 seconds (right before I know its about to crash) and then hit the refresh button, usually my video will reload to the place I wanted to be at.
Anyway, help would be awesome. Thank you :)

Is there a way to speed up the pace of the video (watch in fast-forward) I am watching?

I am watching a class lesson that is 3 hours long and my teacher talks extremely slow. Is there a way to speed up the pace of my video? I know on some video players you can watch a video in 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 etc. levels of fast forward.

Have you got the drives set up to spin down when not in use?
Have a look at the Energy Saver settings in System Preference on the Mac.
Make sure the "Put the Hard Discs to sleep when possible" box is not ticked.

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.

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 ....

How can I fast forward Audio Files without itunes?

So I like having the ability to preview audio files directly in the finder folders. I would like the ability to fast forward and rewind them but I cant seem to figure out how to do it without opening itunes first. Kind of annoying. I like how in windows you click play on an audio file and windows media player opens and you can ffwd and rewind. Any Jedi's out there know how I can do this? Thanks!

There are plenty of other audio players for Mac that are lighter weight than iTunes.
I use VLC, but here are some others:

How can I fast forward in Podcast?

I want to know how to fast forward in a podcast? I can hold down the fast forward button and it goes a few seconds and I can rewind for a few seconds. However I want to fast forward minutes.
Any suggestions? I see in the manual on page 62 about podcast and audiobook controlls but I don't have playback speed or a skip to any point in the timeline.

To skip to any point on the timeline, drag the playhead along the scrubber bar. While dragging, slide your finger down to slowdown the scrub rate.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

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.
