[iOS][Running] Skipping a song on Nike+ Running should count as a thumb down

I went on a run yesterday excited to see Nike+ is now integrated with Spotify Premium. I chose an 8"30 pace and electronic music as my options...which started brilliantly with an upbeat electronic dance track I loved. However, before long (and perhaps as I slowed down??) the music seemed to be completely random from acoustic love songs to slow rhythm Reggae! I soon found myself doing 9"30m/miles! I'm pretty sure the purpose of giving the app your pace is so the music can keep you moving at that rate - rather than slowing down with you so can only assume the algorithm to select music is just a bit pants. If you choose electronic and 8"30 pace, you should get relatively uptempo electronic music. If it messes up, then pressing skip/next should tell the app you aren't enjoying that particular style just like the thumbs up/down on the desktop app. However, changing a track whilst running isn't exactly ideal.

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.

60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync what you want
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Just updated to the newest 7.1 and cannot listen to my music. Once I skip one song it keeps skipping songs one after the other without stopping. Any idea?

I deleted the app from the muttitask as well. But once I open it and skip one song it does not stop? Haven't restarted my phone maybe somebody wants to run some diagnostics on it. But it is pretty frustrating. Have an iPhone 4 btw

Follow the directions here to restore the iOS:

Do not restore from backup, rather sync your content back to the phone. Test now.

ITunes Radio Automatically Skips through Songs

When listening to iTunes Radio through my AppleTV 3, iPhone 6, iPad 3, and iMac 2013 iTunes Radio will just start skipping through songs. The current song plays through to the end, but then starts scanning through 20-30+ songs before playing the same song that just played. This happens on every station I have created, and also on the suggested featured stations.
This just started yesterday after updating to iOS 8.2. I logged out of iTunes on all devices and signed back in, but the problem persisted. I also rebooted all devices with still no luck. My Husband is also having the same issue on his iPhone 5 and iPad 3 under a different iTunes account.
I happened to be out of Wifi range on my iPhone and tried iTunes Radio and surprisingly the skipping stopped. The minute I got back into Wifi range the skipping would start up again after the current song ends. So it seems like it has something to do with my Wifi which are run off of an AirPort Time Capsule and Extreme (all up to date). I rebooted my modem and AirPort’s thinking there was some weird config issue, but the skipping was still happening. I have not changed anything with my internet provider and have more than enough bandwidth.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or further troubleshoot?

Hmmm, Cox must be blocking something. I'll try to call them when I get home, but I don't have high hopes dealing with them.
I also found another thread talking about the same issue.
"I already contacted apple about this and the persons that helped me told me they took the matter up to the engineering department. So now I'm just waiting on a reply back. Hopefully, they can get this fixed up."
iTunes match and iTunes radio skips songs on wifi

Finally fixed my Ipod classic 160 gb from skipping certain songs!

When I would play certain songs or albums on my ipod classic it would skip these songs and wouldn't be able to play them. It frustrated the **** out of me! After much research and reading posts i found an app that helped fix this dilemma. I learned that certain mp3s have corrupted files and ipod has trouble reading them so its good to run your mp3s using this app before you upload them to your ipod. It fixed the mp3s that my ipod couldn't read and now reads them. Hope this helps everyone. Cheers! Go to mp3val.sourceforge.net.

Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
If your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

IPod skipping iTMS songs - but only one account

Hi,
I'm not sure what my iPod is exactly. It's a 40GB mono screen iPod, about five years old. I thought that made it a 'classic' but perhaps not... anyway.
Since I updated iTunes last, the update deauthorised my accounts on my MacBook. One of these was my current account and I've got that up and running again fine. The second one was an old account from when I was on AOL which the nice Apple people kindly helped me convert into an Apple ID account and that, too, is now running again on my MacBook.
The weird thing is that that account won't play on my iPod. It just skips through all those songs.
It will however play them if I connect my iPod to my MacBook and play through the MacBook speakers. I've tried authorising it but it says my accounts are already authorised and anyway, I don't think that's quite how you do it on an iPod.
I'm sure it's something fairly simple but it's getting frustrating now.
I have tried doing a hard reset on the iPod, holding down Menu and the centre button but it still skips through songs on this one account.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Charley x

Roaming: Heck! I think you are right. I'm not at home right now to check so I think I can check on that only through itunes. But, as I now recall, this happened to me before. These are all Christmas songs and I set them to skip after Christmas so "by artist" they are not included. The 158 are tracks added since last year and I forgot to set. Ugh!
Thanks for the tip and I'll update tonight once I confirm.

TS3217 When I try to skip one song on my ipone, it skips through several. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone if I go into my itunes and select that song. So this tells me that the song can be played, therefore, it is not the song.

When I try to skip through a song on my iPhone, it skips through several songs. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone (when I go into to itunes library on my phone), so I know that it's not the song. I have the latest softeware downloaded on both my iphone and itunes. In fact, this only recently started occuring when I reconnected my iphone to my laptop about a month ago to install the new updates on itunes.
I also have an itouch and an ipod, both of which have been updated at the same time as my iphone and they do not skip through songs.

When I try to play one of my itunes songs in iphone 5 "music," about a fourth of the time it will skip to the next song or skip 2 songs and go to the third.

When I go to play one of my itunes songs in my iphone 5 "Music," about a fourth of the time it will skip that song and go to the next, or skip 2 songs and play the third. Is the new phone defective or is there a setting I need to change? Thanks...

iTunes Match is not working correctly. When I go to play one song(example...Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone does not play, but Miss Independent does. )
This is a known issue and at this time there is no fix. The workaround is to disable iTM on the iOS device and sync the mismatched songs via USB/Thunderbolt then re-enable iTM. This way you will be assured of having the "correct" version of the track on your device.

There are a number of other songs that I have had in ITunes that are not matched...they are completely missing from my inventory.
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean you have music stored on your iPod Classic that is not also in your iTunes library? If that is the case, then of course those songs won't be matched or uploaded. A song must be in your iTunes library for it to be processed by the iTunes Match service.

When I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is running and I have to shut down the system

when I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is already running and I have to shut down my system and bring it back up and wait to log back in. It's quite frustrating.

Try Ctrl>ALT>DEL then click Start Task Manager, then find the process firefox.exe, then click end program, then try opening Firefox again.  done! If that doesn't work, then try re-installing Firefox or going to this link to safe mode area and click continue to safe mode and then try and exit, if this problem still occurs then disable extensions and plugins

I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

My iPod skips certain songs- ive tried the 5 r's and i have iTunes 8

I woke up this morning and started listing to my iPod and found that it skips certain songs. about 150 (more or less) of the 500 that i have downloaded. I just dont know what's wrong with it. The songs play fine on my iTunes but as soon as I try to listen to it on my nano it skips to the next song and acts like the song doesnt excist.
I have tried the five r's, I have the most updated model of iTunes (unless im mistaken and there is an iTunes 9).
I reset all of the settings both on my ipod and on the computer- which did nothing.
I read the manuals and looked at the error reports but there is nothing that explains this at all. that I've found...
whats weird is that the songs that are being skipped were all purchased from the iTunes store. I've read a few posts about simialar occurances but nothing exactly like this. I've had my iPod for three years (if that helps)
