IPhone 3gs skips every song

Went to play music on iPhone 3gs 5.0.1 and it skipped every single song on the phone. When I select a song to listen to, it goes on the song (it indicating that it is abouts to play from the start), it then skips to the next song, then the next etc. Shake to shuffle is off, shuffle is off, repeat is off. I have tried re-syncing my music back onto it.
I recently plugged it into a new laptop, rather than my old PC. I had Home Shared all music across to the laptop to make sure there would be no issues, but the skipping songs has started occuring since i plugged it into my laptop. any ideas?

It happens when the iPhone discharge totally!! HEEEEELPPPPP!!!!

  • I just synced my iPhone 3GS and lost songs..they don't show in my itunes account either and I downloaded them from ITunes to the Phone

    I have a 16 GB 3GS ATT iPhone and just finished syncing and updating software to 4.3.5, BUT songs that I had on my iPhone do not show in to my iTunes account
    AND have disappeared on my iPhone.
    Where are they and how do I get them back????
    I think I can use restore, but if you buy a song on your iPhone...shouldn't it automatically show in your iTunes account????

  • I am trying to restore my jailbroken iPhone 3GS, but every time I get an error 1015 message. How to restore?

    I am trying to restore my jailbroken iPhone 3GS having iOS 4.
    I am getting an error message 1015 every time.
    Unable to restore, please help.

    You can try restoring the latest version in iTunes. Be aware that the jailbreak may have altered how your Mac works so you may want to make a clean install of OS X (on a spare disk) & retry installing the newest iOS from Apple onto the device via iTunes.
    You can try all the usual steps to restore iOS onto a device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    You also cannot install older OS's from iTunes so you have little choice but to update the 3GS to iOS 6 (or perform more hacks). If it keeps failing I'd suspect something is altered on the Mac to allow the original jailbreak.
    You must search elsewhere if you want to keep the jailbreak.

  • My itunes skips every song

    Howdy All
    Desperate for help
    I have Windows 7 64 Bit - fully patched.  I also have latest version of Itunes.
    For the last 3-4 months, my itunes has not played music.  But sometimes it does (intermittent).
    If I double click a song, it instantly skips to the next, then the next then the next and so on and so forth until it has gone over all 8000 songs in my collection.
    When Itunes does work, it plays every song without issue.
    I have tried everything to fix it.  I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled at least a dozen times, I have done clean installs, removing all insatnces of the program.  As a BSc (COMSCI) and IS Major, I know enough to know that there is something wrong.
    Does anybody have ANY idea what is going on with my Itunes
    I am desperate for a fix
    Please help
    Cheers

    Did you try looking for conflicts with MSConfig?
    I assume your tracks play OK in another player such as Window Media Player?
    On malware that was a good idea, did you also try the free scanner from Malwarebytes, that is very good.
    Did you remove all the Apple/iTunes entries in the registry.
    Did you you remove all the iTunes related programs listed in the iTunes uninstall instructions, including deleting any remaining folders.
    In addition, there are there is a configuration file in a hidden folder:
    Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    The configuration file can cause problems for all users although I haven't heard of it causing skipping. It might be worth deleting it, but deauthorise you PC first as it holds authorisation data. The configuration file will be recreated when iTunes starts.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    If absolutely everything apple related is removed and the problem persists after a reinstall, it does suggest a software conflict or a problem with Windows.
    Problems with Segoe fonts have caused issues but related to display problems rather than skipping tracks.
    If you ever find a solution, it would be great to hear what it was, this is very puzzling.

  • My iPhone 3GS crashes every month -- two trips to Apple store

    I just completed my second trip to an Apple retail store in the last month. Both times I walked in with a crashed iPhone 3GS that they insisted was fine and needs an operating system upgrade or back-up. The retail store genius today said she has to reinstall and back-up her iPhone 3GS every 2-3 months. My original iPhone, which my fiancee now uses, works perfectly and has never crashed or needed a back-up.
    I travel a lot and I'm not always near my computer for back-ups to my iTunes account. I think the iPhone 3GS is faulty. I'm not sure if it's an operating system or battery problem but the two times I've brought it to an Apple store, more than one employee insisted the phone is fine and that I hadn't charged it enough or I need to back it up or re-install the operating system.
    I'm so frustrated with this device that I'll recommend to others to wait for the next version of the iPhone or buy another phone.
    Is this a common problem? The Apple Store employee indicated it's a common problem which reminds me of the Xbox 360 red rings of death problems, which has happened to every unit of every person I know.

  • Shuffle playlist will skip every song in the playlist.

    If shuffle is checked before attempting to play a song, the whole playlist will be skipped, song by song, although the list does re-arrange itself as a shuffle playlist. If I play a song and then check shuffle, the song will continue to play thorough, but all subsequent songs will be skipped. It will play the last possible song when that point is reached. I have not found a single comment about this particular problem online, and I have been searching for days. I am using a Mac mini as a music server and running OS 10.6.8. The version of iTunes on that computer is 10.5.2. I have no plans to update iTunes on this computer. I have repaired permissions and run DiskWarrior. No songs have "skip shuffle" checked.
    I also have a new iMac running Mavericks with iTunes 12.0.1, and playlists have no problem shuffling on that machine, nor do they have problems on my iPhone, iPad or iPod.

    Ginger,
    Make sure that all the songs have a checkmark.  iTunes will not automatically advance to an unchecked song.
    If you do not see the checkboxes, go to Preferences > General and enable Show List Checkboxes.

  • IPhone/iTunes skipping through songs quickly

    The iTunes app on my iPhone 5 is having serious issues playing a specific artist. When I pull them up to play, select songs individually or shuffle, it skips through them very quickly (40 something songs in about 6 seconds) and doesn't play any of them. It happens to be only this one particular group I am trying to listen to.
    Any one else have this problem or know how to resolve it? Everything is on iCloud and can't figure out how to try and replace the songs.

    Having the same problem!

  • I'm on my 4th iPhone 3gs.  Every time I restore it the phone icon is unresponsive so I can't make calls and my apps crash and bring me back to the home screen.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    Could this be a problem with iTunes on my computer?  It works fine until I sync my phone, then the problem starts again.  This is my 4th phone that I got yesterday from Apple and it's working fine so far, but I haven't synced it yet so it has no contacts, photos, music etc...any ideas on what to do?  I'm afraid to  sync it.

    Sounds like the backup you're using to restore from is corrupt. Restoring from a corrupt backup will continue to restore the problem. I'd suggest you start fresh and delete all of your current iPhone backups(there should only be one). You can delete them here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • I am trying to update my iPhone 3gs. Every time the download is complete, the connection "times out". Can somebody help me please?

    My connection times out everytime the installation for the software update is complete. I have tried multiple times ans still the same thing happens. Can somebosy help me please?

    Yes it does matter whether you're doing an update or an upgrade. To find out which, under the Apple menu, select About this Mac. It will tell you which OS you currently have installed. Since it didn't come originally with OS 10.9, if About this Mac says it's 10.7.X or 10.8.X, you'll need to go to the Apple App Store program and download Mavericks (which is Mac OS X 10.9) and run the installer. If it does say you have 10.9, see if it says 10.9.1, since you might have Software Update set to install updates automatically. Otherwise, are you running Software Update and that's when the circle is spinning constantly?
    BTW, are you sure you want to upgrade to Mavericks (if that's what you're doing)? Check on the Mavericks forum to see the problems users are having with it.

  • No songs on iphone 3gs after ios4 update

    I had the same fault after I did the upgrade. I just reconnected and forced a re-sync in itunes.

  • I try to restore my iphone 3gs and it sayscan not restor because of the erroe code1what dose this mean

    i have a iphone 3gs that every time i try restore my iphone a error message come up it said unable to restore iphone because of error (1) what dose this mean pls help me i have try every thing.and it get all the way to the point of restoring firmware and then that error pops up what is firmware and how do i fix this problem. this is the first time i have owed a iphone.

    depends on what you have
    do you have vista, 7, or xp
    firmware is like the iphones security that helps run programs
    Firmware is the name given to the set of programs that are an integral part of the operation of a computer’s hardware. They enable to hardware to function properly and allow software to run on the hardware.
    It is called firmware because it’s not software (i.e., the programs that users run on the computer), but it’s also not hardware (the physical objects that make up the computer).
    On the iphone, firmware is the set of operations and tools that sit between the hardware that the phone uses and the software that runs on the phone. It enables features, fixes bugs, and attends to the functioning of the phone.
    Periodically, Apple releases firmware updates to add new functionality to the iphone, correct problems with it, and close security holes.
