HT1386 Music skipping tracks on iPhone/iPad

I was replacing mp3s that were being skipped for the first time in years on an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3), and saw the same problem on an iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3). Song track shows up in iTunes (11.0.4.4) on the PC and in the Music app, but the app skips past it to the next track or exits Music altogether.
Any fix?

Bluetooth headphones will not skip tracks on iphone.

Soooo,
I can connect my iphone to my motorola s805 a2dp headphones just fine... the only problem is that I can't skip tracks using just the headphones. Changing the volume works fine, just wondering if anyone has any idea why this may be the case?
The skip function works fine when connected to itunes via my laptop, or to other phones... It just ****** me off because it sort've defeats the purpose of having the wireless headphones if I need to use the phone to skip track anyway. Grr.
Jizz mangs!

Same problem.... GGGrrrrr, I guess I will keep on using my $40 Infinxx add-on.
When buying it, I already knew that the A2DP protocol was in the iPhone but not activated. Could not wait for the next OS, so I bought it.
Plus you can use it in flight mode or disconnect the iphone bluetooth.
Other option would be to wait for OS 4.0 or 5.0 !
Unless someone has found THE trick ???

Music skips on original iPhone NOT a headphone issue

About 2 weeks ago my iPhone began "skipping" when playing music (like a cd skips if it's scratched) this happens to random tracks, at random times, with and without headphones. I've upgraded the firmware (a disaster!) and have the latest version of iTunes, have tried restarting iPhone and restoring iPhone all to no avail. Anybody have any idea if this a hardware issue or a software bug?

I just got my iPhone 3G two days ago, and I have noticed the exact problem.
Music tracks bought from the itunes store stops/pauses randomly, and sometimes it skips to another song.
Sometimes the pause lasts up to 10 seconds with no visible indication on the screen (the 'pause' button is on the screen as though the track continues playing, but I haven't been able to take note of the duration bar).
It happens very randomly, but I only notice it when riding a bus- I don't think it is due to shock, though.
I thought it was due to the changing Wi-Fi signals, but it still happens when I disable wireless.
I am using the 8gigabyte phone, original headphones, and I have about 3-4 downloaded applications.
I am desperate for a solution, I have 12 more days before my shop-replacement warranty expires. Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I also use a silicon cover, could it mess with the proximity sensors around the phone? I double-checked to make sure it doesn't depress any of the hardware buttons, but even if they did, it wouldn't produce the same problem I am experiencing.
I also have nothing interfering with the mult-func button under the right earphone, and pressing it doesn't produce the same effect (pressing it pauses the music, but doesn't skip, and it makes a clear indication on the screen.)

Is there a way to add/delete music to my iPhone/iPad directly through Time Capsule?

I understand it is a long shot, but I also feel like Apple technology isn't far off from having this function. Let me explain:
My MacBook serves me one function: acting as an interface for adding/deleting/editing my music for my devices (iPhone & iPad). It is the only reason why I still have my MacBook, and quite frankly, I'm sick of using it.
Have we reached a point where I can finally eliminate the need of having this MacBook?
All of my 500+ GBs of music has already been organized in iTunes (my way). The files are stored in my current external hard drive. My library is visible from iTunes but you can't play songs unless my hard drive is connected. What I currently do in order to swap music, is light up the hard drive and my MacBook, plug in my device and add/delete through iTunes. It is such a grueling process that always takes way more time than I'd like it to.
My main question: Can you access the contents of your Time Capsule from your iPhone/iPad?

I understand this might go beyond your understanding but a little input would be great. This isn't really a question, more like an idea:
Ideally, I would have all 500 GBs of my music on my device at all times. Realistically, this is impossible until iPhone15 is out... so how about in the meantime, there is an app you can download that works in conjunction with hardware you need to buy seperately. The hardware acts as an external hard drive that stores all your music, and the app acts as the interface. All you need to do is connect the devices, and drag and drop with your finger. It seems so incredibly simple. I don't understand why this technology doesn't exist.
I assume you know more about limitations and things like that. I just wanted to get a discussion going.

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 Music app - volume slider slides to maximum when skipping tracks.

Hi all,
Wonder whether any other customers getting this?
iPhone 5 UK iOS 7.0.2 music app - when skipping tracks (or even selecting tracks) volume slider slides to maximum volume by itself intermittently. I have noticed with EU Volume Limit 'ON' in music settings or Volume limiting 'on' this behaviour occurs. I've turned off volume limiting and now it appears to work normally.
I did restore as new iPhone via iTunes at iOS 7.0 and had this behaviour followed by update to iOS 7.0.2 via iTunes and same problem.
I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks all!

Yep - deleting anything that's not purchased on itunes when I try to play it.
This is terrible, and especially a pain when they're things like limited edition albums where tracks are only available direct, so going for iTunes match is not gonna help.
Only other variable to consider is that I installed the "Groove" app to try out a few weeks ago, and played music with it twice. Highly doubt this is related, however non-iTunes purchased tmusic tracks also show up there and now *crash the phone* when I try to play them so it's something system-wide.

Hi , I cant use the music bar in the control center I can only change the volume but I cant skip tracks or pause the song or play it. anyone knows the solution or the reason please?

Can I save music from my itunes macbook to my iphone/ipad mini via home sharing?

Or can you only play it in your home with the home wifi?
When I plug my ipad into my Macbook an error message comes up "The ipad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 of later.
My Macbook is running itunes 10.6.3 and won't seem to accept 10.7, so now I can't put any of my music onto my iphone, ipad or ipod!
I would love some help with this ... I hope I don't have to buy a new computer with the latest operating system to enable me to put my music on my other devices.
I am hoping a way round this is to save content while the home sharing is on so that I can play it when I'm away from my home wifi?
Thank you!

You can only play music from the computer when you use Home Sharing. You cannot download music to the I pad with Home Sharing.
Can you update your Mac to 10.6.8? Then update iTunes. Mac requirements for syncing with iPad are ....
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 8; Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

Connect the device to your computer. Open iTunes. Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list. Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos". Click Apply. but after that say's everything on my iPhone will be deleted

Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.

Click Apply.

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store. For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them. Not sure about Apple TV. I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

When I add music from my CD onto my Macbook, the music will not transfer from iTunes on my Mac to my iPhone/iPad. I'm using iCloud, current software updates and Music Match. Any solutions?
