IPad Music/Video Pausing Unexpectedly

Hey, anyone else having an issue wherein, while listening to music or watching video on the iPad it will pause out of nowhere and just sit there, obligating you to hit "play" to restart?
Thanks.

I have had this happen with YouTube videos -- some seem not to have fully loaded when they start playing, they then continue to load and are eventually playable (but it can take a number of minutes for, say, a 6-minute video to load.)
Some users are reporting more serious system lockups when playing videos (thread is on page 1 of this category).
I don't have information on why this is -- I have inquired within that thread if my problem is normal behavior for the system or part of the problems some iPads are having, i.e., is this the best the system can do, which would be disappointing. The system freezes appear to be hardware-based and some owners have done exchanges for "clean" units at stores which do NOT have the problem.)

  • IPad & music videos.

    I have about a dozen music videos I bought from the iTunes store but I can’t get them into my iPad.
    I have tried the help file and it told me to Create iPad version, no help, tried it with QuickTime too.
    What gives?

    You need to make sure to have music videos checked in I tunes to sync with iPad.

    Look in the Videos app. That is where they should be.

  • Ipad music videos wont play

    I have an Ipad 2 with latest updates,  but now when I sync, no music videos will play on the Ipad and no music video icon is in the playlist , however the song will play?? Any help please?? PS all works well on the Iphone 4

    I also have an Ipad 2 with the latest software.  I reciently purchased the beatles album Let it Be, and Abbey Road.
    Both have a documentary track that includes video.  I only get the audion on the Ipad.  But, i have an ITouch 1st. generation with 3.1.3.  The documentary tracks play the video as well as the audio.
    I have made sure that the sync for the IPad has Sync all music selected as well as Include music videos, and Include voice memos.
    I have seen a lot of issues with the Music app discussed with the latest OS.  They all seem to focus on issues with album art size and music not playing.  I dont seem to have that problem.  Anyone know if this is an additional problem with the new OS?,  or is there some other setting I havent found?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Ipad music video library - how to "play all"?

    I  have a stack of music videos on my Ipad2.   Each one has to be started manually.  Is there some way I can do a "play all"?
    Google no help, seemingly,
    Thanks
    Ron

    Thanks.  I won't waste any more time.
    Odd function for Apple to omit, though.

  • Recently I've not been able to watch any kind of video on my iPad ie: music video, Netflix, YouTube, etc

    Recently I've noticed that I'm not able to watch any kind of video on my iPad.....youtube, music videos, netflix, news videos, etc.  I'll hit the play icon and then the pause button comes on and then quickly flips back to the play button. The video never starts. Everything else seems to be working fine. I'd like to know if anyone knows what causes this? Thanks.

    Not sure what causes this, but see if this fixes it. Close all apps and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad 2 Music Video Quality

    I just restored my new IPad 2 from my IPad 1 backup. When I watched a music video that had been transferred there's a noticeable difference in the video quality. The IPad 2 video is not as clear/clean. Like going from watching something in HD to non HD. Is there a setting I should be looking for or could I have done something wrong when I restored from the IPad 1 backup? Thanks for any suggestions/help.

    Thanks for the suggestion but no it's not a streaming issue. Same video being played on my new and old IPads and the new IPad has a poorer quality picture. I restored the new IPad and reloaded the video directly from my MacBook Air and the video is still not as clear. I paused the video on both units in the same frame and you can see pixilation on the new IPad. Apparently a hardware issue. I called Apple and they are having me return the unit for repair. I hope the new one has better resolution/video quality.
    I see no difference in quality of videos resident on the iPad1 and iPad2...the quality is identical...which leads me to believe you may indeed have a hardware problem.

  • How do I get Music Video's to play in iTunes on iPad Mini with Shuffle option on Playlists (it's only playing the music not video's)?

    Hi. I have got Music Video's on iPad Mini on a Playlist on iTunes. When I use 'shuffle' option the audio of the track is heard but no video is played (only a 'still' from the video). When using the Video option on the desktop, plays videos but does not allow you to 'playlist' them or shuffle them. I can shuffle Music Video playlist on iPhone and on PC. So why not on iPad Mini. Can someone help? Thanks

    There does not appear to ba a facilty for this on the iPad. However there are a number of apps that will allow you to create and play video playlists. Try VP Lite which is free.

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

    I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does.  What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one?  I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

    Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account)  I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch.  Now she has an ipad.

    No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
    She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

  • Why can't I get music videos to NOT sync on the iPad

    So I have recently updated to iOS 7 on my daughter's iPad 2.  Out of the blue, now because not before, all the music videos on my computer sync to her iPad.  I have the include music videos unchecked under music.  I have the sync only checked songs and videos on the summary screen.  The only thing checked to sync under music is the genre Christian and Gospel.  Yet, every music video on my computer are being pushed into her iPad.  Most of the videos are not 8-year suitable in my opinion.  Britney Spears new videos, Ke$sha, Eninem, etc...  Can someone tell me how to get my wife's filth videos off my 8-year old's iPad?  PLEASE!!!!

  • HT201269 I am trying to transfer Music and Music Videos from an iPad to a new iPad 4.  I tried the backup route and everything transferred except the music and music videos.  I don't want to do that again because it will mess up other applications. Any su

    I have switched to a new iPad and transferred all the needed aps, included some high-priced ones for my business.  The only thing I can't do is get my music and music videos to move.  I originally tried to backup the old unit and restore to the new unit  and this was successful for a lot of the aps, it didn't work for the music.  It also messed up several aps that I had already initialized on the new unit and I had to go through the whole process again.  How can I move my music without damaging other aps?
    Thanks for any help.

    The contents of the Music and Videos apps aren't included in a device's backup. If you don't have them on your computer's iTunes library then if they are iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them back from your old iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to your new iPad. If some/all of them are not iTunes purchases and you don't have them on your computer nor on your backup of your library then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
