Ipad2 skipping music during playback / too sensitive to vibration

Hope somebody may help. I use to listen to music in my car, so I connect my iPad2 to the car sound system using the USB cable. Just yesterday, the music started skipping. That is, at any point in the song it will stop and jump to the next one without finishing the one it was previouly playing. Also, a couple of times, it sounded like a scratched CD, repeating the same notes over and over in an endles loop. This last problem got corrected when I unplugged the cable and reconected it again.
I also noticed that the skipping took place every time the car vibrated. For example, when passing a street bump, or when the pavement was not perfectly smooth. Can it be that something is loose inside the iPad causing a disconection, or would it be a software issue? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1.1, so it might be my nerves about the vibration, being actually caused by the operative system. I also listen to ebooks in the iPad, but the problem seems not to be happening when listening to ebooks, even with vibration.
Any insigths will be highly appreciated.
Carlos.

I would recommend either calling and see what the they say. Be sure to reset the settings in your iPod, then do a factory restore to see if that helps.
If you take it in, they will usually swap it out with another first gen. If they don't have any first gen in the store, they will have one shipped to the store and you just have to go pick it up. If you get it replaced though, since it will be a mint refurbished one, they still have high resale values. You could always ebay it and just use the money toward a 3rd gen. That will be a big jump from first to third.

  • Ipod Was Skipping/Glitching During Playback, Now Has No Files

    I've had my 120 gig ipod Classic since 2008, and recently it began skipping/glitching during playback of just about every song. I made sure I had the latest version of iTunes and also defragmented the ipod, neither of which fixed the problem. I came to the Apple forums for a solution, and discovered this thread while searching:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2400544&tstart=135
    I did what was instructed in the solution, only for the ipod to display that there are no music files upon rebooting. So now my ipod appears to have been wiped clean despite doing exactly what worked for someone else with the same problem. Am I pretty much out of luck as far as restoring my ipod? (I haven't had it synced to an itunes account since my computer crashed, so most of the files were in no way backed up) Also, does anyone have a legitimate solution to the skipping problem, for future reference?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • MacPro 3.1 with GTX285 freezes during playback- too slow?

    I´m having issues with my MacPro 3.1 (2008, 10GB RAM, GTX 285 card) and FCPX which always freezes only during playback.
    I can edit the whole day without any freezing as long as I do not play back the edit for longer than 1 minute. After about 1.15 of continuos playback the computer will freeze for 45 seconds. The audio keeps playing though but the video will freeze and I cant do anything on the computer. Then video comes back for another minute before it will freeze again. So I can never see the whole edit...
    When working with Adobe Premiere CS6 or any other program I do not have the slightest issues and the MacPro is working fine the whole day. I only have this issue with FCPX (10.0.6 and 10.0.7)
    I have tried the following so far:
    - trashed preferences
    - re-installed FCPX
    - clean install of the OS (10.8.2) on a fresh HD with fresh install of FCPX (no other programs on the system)
    - changed RAM
    - Hardware Test with no issues showing
    - dropped in my old GT8800 graphic card which seems to be too slow but does not show any real freezes only choppy video playback
    - Cuda driver installed and Cuda uninstalled
    Could it be that my system is too slow for FCPX? Could the 285 cause the freezing? Does anybody else have this kind of issues? I have to use Premiere Pro CS6 with Cuda for most of my projects, but for quick edits I would love to use FCPX with this machine. What can I do? Any ideas what could be wrong with my system? Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

    Tom,
    thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. Now I´m even more puzzled knowing that it should work fine on my machine.
    I also got the impression that the GTX285 should handle FCPX without any issues and it does on my machine until it freezes. Its quite snappy during editing and can play quite a few effects that need rendering in real time. Strange thing also is that I do not get a dropped frame warning after the freeze.
    Regarding your questions:
    1) I tried all kind of formats ranging from DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, XDCAM and ProRes. Even tried transcoding and proxy. No matter what format I bring in, the freezing will occur
    2) tried transcoding and the original file formats
    3) Cuda drivers are up to date. I also tried various older drivers and not installing Cuda at all. Same result all the time unfortunately.
    I no longer know what I should do... I´m already thinking about buying a ATI 5770 but I´m also using Premiere a lot which works great with the Cuda cards and I do not want to invest into this old machine - still hoping that a new MacPro will arrive eventually later  this year...
    Thanks,
    Gerald

  • Videos skipping randomly during playback

    Whenever I watch a video on iTunes, the player will stop in a random place, hold for a couple seconds then skip to a few seconds later into the show. It's extremely annoying and I have no clue as to what is causing it. I have repaired, uninstalled/re-installed both iTunes and Quicktime, installed updates, but the problem still persists. And it doesn't do it all the time. Sometimes it will only do it once during a program, other times it will do it every few minutes. It's very wierd. But like I said, extremely annoying! Any ideas or help? Thanks in advance.

    Yes, it's just that simple. Provided what hardware is installed on the computer with what drivers. Do not tell me that QT 7.6.4 does not work or update on a WINDOWS XP COMPUTER, cause I am using one, and it works. The problem is with your machine! So Apple just put out their software to only not work on your machine, would that be accurate?

  • IPod Nano 4G Skips During Playback with Apple Lossless Songs

    My iPod Nano 4th Generation has been consistently skipping a brief portion of music about every 5th Apple Lossless song during playback. I've been working unsuccessfully to resolve this issue with tech support and fixed the problem when I disabled the energy level setting in the playback menu. While this is a hit to battery life, the skipping no longer occurs. Hoping that this issue is permanently resolved in an upcoming software update.

    Hi,
    I brought my ipod yesterday and had the exact same issue. it would skip certain songs frequently and was extremely frustrating. Im not sure if this is the case for all ipods (i have an ipod nano 16Gb 4th gen, with firmware 1.0.4), but i fixed my issue in a series of steps. Im not sure which exact part of my method did the job, but here it is:
    1. plugged it into iTunes and clicked "restore" under the tab "summary". WARNING: This will delete everything, and restore factory settings. im not sure if this is necessary, but youll need to delete the songs which skip anyway.
    2. pressed the eject button IN ITUNES (under "devices", and next to your ipod icon), ejecting the ipod. wait for the ipod to specify when it is ready for it to be unplugged. proceed to unplug said ipod.
    3. Choose the language of your ipod, and go into playback settings and (settings/playback or something) and turn OFF "shake" and "energy saver"
    4. Plug your ipod into your computer again and drag all the songs onto your ipod using itunes.
    5. after it has finished copying, WAIT until the ipod no longer says "synching", and until it says "connected"
    6. Press the eject button IN ITUNES (again, under devices, and next to your ipod icon)
    7. Eject when the ipod says it is ok to do so.
    As i said, im not sure which part of the method did it for me, but i think it might be the way in which i was ejecting it. Before i was ejecting the ipod on my desktop. I think it is important to eject it using itunes. Anyway this fixed my ipod. Im not sure if it will do the same to yours, but if its making you very angry (to say the least) like it made me, its worth a try i guess. I would appreciate it if people let me know if this works.

  • Skips & Scratch Noises during playback ...

    I am all of a sudden getting skips & scratch noises during playback on certain albums during playback on Itunes and it transferred over to my ipod ... What could be causing this and how can I get rid of it.  ( No it is not the CD it was burned from cause it sounds perfect playing on other devices)
    thanks for any ideas or tips :-)

    I have observed this with my 4th gen Nano. The sound is pristine through the headphone jack, but when connected via some (older) dock devices there are little bursts of static every few moments.
    I have tried this with a Bose Sounddock and a Tivoli iSongbook. Same thing. The little static bursts are NOT repeatable (random), and do NOT appear in headphones. Most people would probably never notice this noise, especially if they play only rock music. Music with less percussive sound reveals the problem more easily.
    The very same files played through the dock devices on my old 3rd Gen iPod sound perfect.
    I was getting ready to ask Apple to exchange my Nano for another to see if that has any effect. Other than this issue, I love it and it works great.

  • Multi-room DVR Issues: Unable to locate hub, interrupted recording, skipping during playback

    Hi Guys,
    I was wonderng if you could help me.   I have been a FIOS customer for many years and have a multi-room HD DVR and 2 HD set-top boxes.   I have always had some problems during playback on some recordings where the picture and sound will skip, but over the last several months some new problems have appeared.  Frequently during playback of recorded shows the recording will stop playing and I will get a message on the screen "unable to locate hub".  I then have to power off the STB, reboot and when I go to the dvr option I have to refresh the devices before connecting to the dvr again.  If this happens while a show is recording then the recording stops and then restarts causing the show to be split into 2 recordings.  Sometimes I get a message "You have reached maximum playback on DVR".  This really frustrating and I would like these issues resolved.   I have the older HD dvr, 1 new hd set-top box, and 1 old hd stb.   The playback issues happen on both hd stbs.  We don't usually watch shows on the dvr itself so I am not sure how it performs during playback.  1 other note that might help troubleshooting is that I can't seem to display the IMG in full screen on the dvr.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Sincerely,
    Randy R.

    You can only do 1 playback at a time UNLESS you are playing back from the DVR/HUB.  If you want to do 2 simultaneous play backs, one of them must be from the DVR.  I ran into this same message when my wife would watch a recorded program in one room and I would try to watch a recorded program in another room.  Fixed it by moving the DVR to one of the rooms where the conflict occured most often.  As for the "unable to locate hub" message.  This was a very common problem about a year ago, which was fixed with a software update. You need to check what version software is on all your boxes.

  • IMovie Project seems to skip and pause very briefly during playback

    I am creating a video montage in iMovie '09, though when viewing the project during playback the video does not play smoothly and seems to skip and pause very briefly while continuing to play. Each clip separately played smoothly prior to its addition into my iMovie project.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    What kind of clips are these?
    Specifically, if you right-click on a clip in the Event Browser and select "Reveal in Finder", then right-click on the clip in the Finder and select "Open with...QuickTime Player, and then hit Command-I in QuickTime Player to open the Inspector Window, what codecs are mentioned next to the word "Format:"?

    I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

    Sounds like a corrupt download.
    From iPad:
    Delete the albums: swipe you finger across and tap delete
    Make sure you have a good internet connection & re-download: Open iTunes app > More > Purchased
    From computer:
    Delete the albums: Select > right-click > delete
    Go to iTunes Store > Purchased (in Quick Links on the right)

  • Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

    Try a hard reset first. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button 
    until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, 
    and then the Home screen.
    If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
    Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks?  What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

  • Randomly skips/fails to play some samples during playback?

    Randomly skips/fails to play some samples during playback?

    You're right that was foolish let me clarify.
    Raising the I/O buffer thing is a good idea, i've tried that already though and no joy
    BASICALLY i've had this problem with a couple of tracks, ones which i have worked on the longest and probably the ones with the most effect plugins and tracks used. Seemingly at random during playback some of the samples dont play (and some even stop playing halfway through the sample). If the regions are bounced, the resulting wav file visibly splits the original sound where the computer 'decided' to stop/restart playing the sample. Again, i haven't found a pattern: - at one point a four bar loop with three tracks solo'd would play all the tracks perfectly during playback for a few seconds, then suddenly switch to only playing one track, then switch back after another few seconds.
    Weird.
    I think it may be related to previous experience which i have had with the Space Designer and Echo effects, where the echo or reverb sound itself cuts out halfway through the sound/after a seemingly random amount of time (and then cuts back in).
    I've seen this reverb and effect problem on more than one computer, but the original problem with the track playback is, in my experience, unique to my system.
    The computer i'm using is not old or at all running out of memory (although i realise this does not exempt it from being the cause of the problem)
    Anyway this has been trolling me for weeks and its driving me mad
    Thanks

  • Two Second Skip Switching Between Windowed and Full Screen Modes During Playback YouTube videos

    I am finding that every video I watch skips two seconds every time I switch back and forth from Full Screen mode. Happens mostly with 720p videos in YouTube.
    Can be replicated by pausing the video (also possible during playback, pausing it was just to determine how long the skip is), switching to Full Screen and back, noticing the two second change on the timer.
    Main operating environment is Opera browser on Windows 7 (x86), Flash ver.  11.1.102.55 and 12beta. I have also been able to replicate the problem on Internet Explorer ver. 9.0.8112.16421

    I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
    I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
    @Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
    Update:
    With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

  • Rented Movies pause and skip during playback......................

    I am running iTunes 9.2. The last three movies I have rented pause and then skip ahead 6 seconds during playback. Its like with compujter cannot keep up. It happens at ramdom times but happens often, sometimes two or three times a minute. All movies were completly downloaded before playback. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem with purchased video content.
    I am NOT a happy camper right now. I was really looking forward to purchasing a season pass for one of my favorite programs, but not until this is resolved
    I also can't figure out how to play the itunes purchased videos directly in Quicktime. It used to be possible in preferences, but it looks like that feature is missing from this current version.

  • IPod skipping during playback

    My iPod (G5 30GB) is usually working fine, but when I'm jogging with it it skips. Is this because of the vibration while jogging? Or maybe because of the heat? (it's tucked away in an inner pocket - nice and waterproof but gets pretty warm in there.) Either way, am I damaging the hard drive?

    It is skipping because of the bouncing it is getting in your pocket. If you wear it on a case on a belt or hold it in your hand it will get less of a jostling and yes, over time, it can damage the hard drive. Since it is in your pocket I am assuming you don't look at it while you run. In that case you might want to look into purchasing a refurbished Nano from the Apple Online store for $49. No hard drive so bouncing won't hurt it.

  • I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device.  When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.

    I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device.  When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.  I tried different input and output settings but it didn't help.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
    You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
    You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
    Hide
    To turn on monitoring in the track header:
    Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
    Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
    HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
    Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
    From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
    Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
    Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
    Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
    For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
    You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
    If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.
