Ios 6 skips songs
Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone4 to IOS 6, for some reason or other the music player skips some songs completely like they are not on my iphone.
I am NOT using iTunes Match and are only trying to sync with my iTunes library. I tried resetting the phone completely...but still the track refuse to play...
Any ideas ???
Three things come to mind:
1) Shake to shuffle is set to ON
2) The music file/s is/are corrupted
3) The start/stop time has been edited on iTunes.
To turn OFF Shake to Shuffle, go to Settings > Music > Shake to Shuffle OFF
The last two steps have to be checked from iTunes on your PC/MAC
Find the song(s) in question, click the file select Get Info (right mouse click if PC, not sure on MAC sorry, either Apple logo and mouse click or one of the function buttons and click). Look along the tabs and look for the start/stop time, untick them both and the file will be played from start to finish.
To check if the file itself is corrupted, you'll need to locate the original file (as above Get Info, then there's a section where it has the file path), play the file through your PC/MAC media player and see if it plays from start to finish.
It might be worth unsyncing the music library and resyncing again to see if that fixes it.

After I updated to iOS 6 when I listen to music. It skips songs. When I tap to play a song it skips 2-6 songs and plays a random song. Why is this? Can it be fixed?
AAAhhhh.. c'mon Apple this is REALLY annoying.
OK - before the IOS6 update... ituenes match worked fine. Now... i have songs skipping. It will show the artwork for a brief moment and then automatically move onto the next song.
I've tried everything, turning both match on device and itunes on and off, restore etc.
Anybody any solutions? I suggest we all demand our money back for itunes match for a start as I'm not paying for a product that doesn't work! I'm sure if we all do this Apple will hurry up and get it sorted! -
Anyone else having issues with iTunes Radio on their iPhone? Mine skips songs endlessly and won't play anything.
First, make sure you have an above average connection, either via Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. Second, do a soft reset on your phone by pressing and hold the home button and then press and hold the lock button (on top) for about 10-12 seconds until the white Apple logo appears on the screen.
This will do a reset of your phone, but you will not lose anything.
Good luck! -
ITunes match and iTunes radio skips songs on wifi
iTunes match and iTunes radio have been skipping songs while on wifi. We have a Linksys EA6350 setup in WPA2 personal for both the 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz networks. Both are setup as mixed 802.11n/ac with both on a channel width of AUTO. We are using two Apple TV's, iPhone 5s and a iPad 2. One of the apple TV's is setup as a different iTunes account than the others. It skips songs on all devices and accounts, however when I turn the wifi off on my iPhone both iTunes match and iTunes radio work flawlessly. What should I do?
+1 same issue here.
Not sure exactly when it started, but seems like it was sometime on or after 3/7.
It appears to affect every device I have on the home network (iMac, MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, iPhone, iPad). Most devices are wifi, but I can confirm the issue also occurs on my iMac which is connected via ethernet. I'm able to get both iTunes match streaming and iTunes Radio streaming to the iPhone and iPad if I disable wifi and use LTE.
On my iOS devices, it just looks like it's skipping songs repeatedly...every now and then it might play one song, but it skips 30-50 before that happens. A few times it just kept skipping until the device rebooted itself. On my OS X devices, I don't get any of the skipping, it just looks like it's trying to load the radio station (i get the blue progress bar at 100% but nothing ever happens).
For what it's worth, I'm using an Apple Time Capsule for as my DHCP for ethernet and wifi. My internet provider is Cox Communications. -

The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.
restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

Why is my radio randomly skipping songs?
Hi, my ITunes radio is randomly skipping songs, without me touching the screen. I have wiped off the screen, and there is nothing on it. I have tried resetting it from the Lock/Unlock button, and the home button, but that didn't work. There is a small scratch at the top of my screen, but it has been there for a while, and hasn't effected my phone before. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thanks,
QuinnyjoeHi Quinnyjoe,
Don't worry, there's nothing physically wrong with your phone. My radio stations on iTunes Radio worked fine on iOS 8.2. But, on iOS 8.3, I too am experiencing the multiple song skipping issue (with titles showing for split second and changing continuously, until resuming play on a random track). Although I only experienced it last night (on iPhone, haven't tried on Mac) and am not experiencing the issue as of this morning (at least until now didn't). I think, it's either an OS bug or something's wrong online on Apple's end. In any case, it has either already been fixed or should be fixed in coming days.
Hope this helps
(iPhone 5S, iOS 8.3) -

why does this happen. In shuffle two/three songs play then skips songs and goes back to playlist
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

some song will not play now on my 4s. it was since i updated software i think, cos it worked fine before that. it just skips songs. please talk me through step by step. i am going crazy. thanx guy's and gals of course
My situation is improving a little. When I returned home I found that my imac went to sleep during the match process (I would think that the process would keep the imac awake, but I recommend people with large libraries disable energy saving features while Match is working). When it completed the process the second time I tried, a LOT of the greyed out tracks returned to my iOS devices. The only ones missing right now are the ones pending upload to the cloud. I have a few tracks that I've purchased and are on my iMac HDD that are greyed out, but that list is down to 10-15 out of 12,000... so I can work on those when Match is done.
I'm surprised that the iOS devices would restrict you from accessing sync'd content while Match is running - i.e. the content is already on the device. However, it's error handling that must not currently exist in the service.
My biggest take away right now is the lack of information Apple provided on this service. I'm using third-party tutorials online instead of a simple "what is Match and how does it work" document from Apple... Documentation is still a must, especially for new and potentially complicated services like this. I.E. tell me that you are going to restrict my access to my own content during this process, and that this process may take 2-3 days (still uploading). -

My ipod classic 160GB won't play my music there is sound coming from it but the music won't play and it skips songs as well does anyone now how to fix that?
Have you checked if your Earphones are working?
Do you get the Music menu after the reset? (what is display on the Screen? song playing)
Normally if you Reset the iPod, it will turn the shuffle mode off, but do check under setting that shuffle mode is off. -
Is there a way to search for skipped songs in my iTunes library?
I'd like to know whether there's a quicker way to find songs that are being skipped in my iTunes library, than simply manually checking each one. I've been rearranging and deleting music files in Windows Explorer recently, so I know that there is a chance that I have demolished the link iTunes had to some of the files, but there's no way I can remember what all the modified albums are. I know how to reestablish the links when I do find a song that is being skipped, but I'd love to go through the whole library and be able to find them all at once.
The last time I did this, manually - and it seemed to take hours - I did find quite a lot of songs that were being skipped, and was able to reestablish the links or in some cases just delete the song from iTunes since i hadn't wanted it anyway. But even then it was a little hard, since after manually checking in the quickest way I could - going through the song list and briefly playing each one for a second or fraction of a second - there was no way of sorting the songs by whether they were skipped or not. I just had to be very careful as I scrolled, to catch each one that had the symbol indicating non-playability.
All that to say - is there some better, automatic way of searching for non-playable, skipped songs, and is there some way of sorting them out from the rest so one can address them, and not miss any?Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.
