Iphone 3gs playing music issue

When I'm playing music on my iphone, sometimes at random points in a song it will just move to the next song... I have shuffle on shake turned off so that isn't it... any ideas??

Hi,
Does the issue occur with all songs or just a few songs?
Does the music play correctly in iTunes on your computer?
Try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> slide to turn off> then turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again.
If the issue is only occurring with some songs, try to remove them from the iPhone and/or iTunes and then import them into iTunes and sync them to the iPhone again.

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

IPhone stops playing music

My iPhone stops playing music. It only happens and happens conistently on certain files, old Protected AAC files I bought from iTunes. It seems to happen mostly (or always) at the same time, one minute eight seconds in. I notice it most on Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle, but also on other music from the same era of my downloads. Sometimes you can just skip to the next song, sometimes it has lost its way worse. It happens on both my new iPhone 4S as well as my old 3GS.

They play fine on the computer, just not on the iPhone.

Can I hook_up my iPod to my iPhone and play music?

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

HT201210 i want to use my old iphone for playing music and it wont sync

i want to use my old iphone for playing music and it wont sync

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Issue with Ford Sync (Microsoft Sync) & iPhone 4--Playing Music via USB

I have a 2011 Ford Flex and and iPhone 4. The Sync system will not play music via the USB connection. It is quite temperamental with the bluetooth as well. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Well I have a 2010 Fusion with Sync and an iPhone 4. Have had various issues getting things to work right all the time. I'm not sure if Sync in the 2011's is much different.
When you say it doesn't play music, what does it do when you give it the USB command? Does the iPhone charge when plugged into the USB port? If the phone charges and it seems to let you select USB but doesn't play any music, on your iPhone, go to iPod and you may see an accessory connected screen. Touch the icon next to SYNC and you will see SYNC and doc connector listed. Touch doc connector and see if the music is heard.
If you haven't already register at www.syncmyride.com you will find some community forums there with hints/steps on getting Sync and iPhone to work properly.
Generally though, there have been a lot of issues with SYNC and Apple devices.
Hope this helps.

Using the iPhone to play music in a VW beetle

Guys, hello
I bought a VW beetle that has a factory installed cable to plug the iPhone through the dock connector and play the music and browse the lists through the stereo.
The issue that I have is that when I do that I can no longer access the music through the iPhone menu, as the music application locks and I can only access the menus through the stereo which is complicated with large lists.
The 2nd day I had the car somehow I could plug the iPhone and the music menu remained functional but it won't happen anymore.
Thanks for the help
J

when you use this device you only can select music from it not from iPhone sometimes the app has a problem and show the music on iPhone

When my iPhone 4s plays music it pauses for about 4 seconds then plays

I don't know what to do. I have only had my iPhone for about 2-3 months and suddenly this happens. It really annoys me when I am playing music on my headphones or out loud because it sounds like its broken. If there is a problem am I ensured by apple.

Should the iPhone 4S play music through built-in speaker?

I have a new iPhone 4S. I just got it loaded with my music. I noticed that there is no sound through the built-in speakers when playing music. However, with headphones plugged in, I can hear music through them just fine. The mute switch is in the up position. My older iPod Touch would play through the built-in speaker if there was nothing plugged in to the headphone jack. Should the iPhone 4S do the same? If so, how can I get that working? If not, will someone please just tell me that so it doesn't drive me slowly nuts thinking there's a problem with the device?
TIA!

I took the phone to an Apple store. Come to find out that due to some corrosion on the dock contacts, the phone thought it was in a dock. The tech was unable to repair it, so they had to replace it.
NOTE: I had to backup to the iCloud first, to make sure all my apps and settings, etc wre available to the replacement. Upon restore to the new phone, the following issues surfaced:
1) none of my original "imported" music restored. Only the music I'd purchased through iTunes. Fortunately, I have it on mt PC backup.
2) most of my books were "corrupted" upon restore. I tried to work with the Apple tech for days on this issue. Finally, I deleted my bookshelf and re-downloaded it, at which time I was able to sync the books between mt iPad and iPhone.
Watch out, because the Cloud still has reliability and functionality issues.
Anyway, the original issue that made me start this thread has been resolved.

IPhone starts playing music automatically when connecting to bluetooth

I'm having an issue where my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) starts playing music/podcasts as soon as it connects to the bluetooth audio in my car, even when neither the music app nor the podcasts app is open at all. This is extremely annoying because every time I get in my car it starts regardless if I want to listen to anything or not, and I'm forced to take my phone out and shut it off every time. At first, I thought it was a glitch with the podcasts app, so I deleted it, but it's still doing it through the music app. The weird thing is, while it's playing, if I open the music app, the "Now Playing" button doesn't appear. But if I double click the home button in the lock screen, or go to the music controls by double clicking on the home screen, it does show what's playing. I have no idea how to make this stop short of shutting off bluetooth, but I don't want to do this in case I want to use the phone itself while driving. Please Apple, fix this soon!

I am having a similar issue with my new IPhone 4 and my cars Bluetooth audio
The music on my iphone just randomly starts playing whenever I enter my vehicle. This happens eventhough I have paused the music
On one occasion the music was playing at the same time as I was on a phone call.

Music player on iphone not playing music?

I have an iphone 3GS with the ios5 updates. Ever since the update, when I try to listen to my music, no sound plays. Volume is turned up compltely. Sounds for all other things working on the phone. The music player appears to be playing the song, but there is not a sound. Light blue "play" symbol appears in the right hand corner and the pause button is displayed as though the song is playing. I put the songs on using the "purchased" button in the itunes store and then downloading them to my phone. I also can't figure out how to delete the songs now that they are on there. I was going to get rid of them all and then start over manually from the computer. However, when I put the phone into the itunes on the computer, the songs no longer appear as they are on my phone, but they are there, taking up space and not working! Please help! I really dont want to have to reset the phone completely!

Well it seems like that is your only option. Before you restore, try restarting the phone and see if that does anything.

My iPhone 4S plays music for 5 seconds on a dock then stops sending audio

Hi. My first time in an Apple Community. My 4S plays music through headphones ok but if I connect it to a dock (Wadia 170i), the music plays for 5 seconds then stops. It's the same whether Spotify, Audible (talking books), BBC iPlayer etc. So whether streamed or stored on the iphone, same result. It's important to note that the iPhone continues to 'play' though the sound no longer seems to be sent through the dock. It could be a dock problem but it's so simple I find that hard to accept since it has no problem with an iPod. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Thanks. Paul

How do i get my iphone to play music through docking station speakers?

When I place my iPhone in my Bose docking station, it plays music through the iPhone's speakers. How do I get my iPhone to route music playing through the Bose's speakers? My Nano plays just fine in my docking station.

Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off? To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below). Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).
