IPhone IPod feature out of control

I purchased my new iPhone only four days ago, and it worked fine until this morning. Now the iPod feature plays constantly, starts and stops on its own, and skips forward through music on its own. And while this is happening I can't even use the phone part of the iPhone because as soon as it dials it hangs up.
I've tried powering it off and rebooting it. I've tried this a number of times, but to no avail. Has any one else had such problems?
I've had this thing for only four days!

Mine starts to play when it feels like it and it pauses and restarts podcasts as I listen to them. I realized also that it starts to play songs when I do Safari searches! Very annoying. And, no, just restoring my iPhone has not solved the problem I've already done that twice.
This is definitely a new bug in 2.1.
Great. Thanks Apple.

Apple adds iPhone iPod Hi-Fi Tone Control support

http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/apple-adds-iphone-ipod-hi-fi-tone -control-support/11134

Oh crap. In my haste, I marked this as a ?...

My iPhone screen is out of control.

Help! I don't know what to do. I recently got a replacement iPhone (under warranty), and the screen has been acting really weird - moving by itself, things moving on its own (for example, in the SMS Messages list, the "Delete" button would constantly appear and then disappear, like I was swiping it). I have tried a restart but it still is acting weird, and I think it made an international call all by itself. I'm really unsure what to do, and I'm not sure if I did anything wrong, because this is really weird and I have never seen this before.
Thanks!

Try resetting the iPhone first to see if that helps. Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

How come my iphone ipod isn't recognized by my car

My iphone ipod feature is not being recognized by my car any more. Is there some type of setting that needs to be checked/changed?

Hello Lawrence,
I do have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe running.
My USBs are plugging in straight into the laptop. All 4 work. Just today, I synced my iPod with multiple USB ports. It works for the iPod, but the iPhone won't pop-up. The iPhone does not appear in iTunes as a button anywhere.
I am unable to use another computer for this. I can actually go into iTunes, add file to library, and add photos that way. So, it's recognized by my computer.
This should have been seperated. Basically, I don't have another computer accessible to me to back-up sync on iTunes with.
The last part means in iTunes, I can click "File > Add file to library" and the iPhone is shown as a camera icon. I can click on it and have access to photos. I can add those photos to the iTunes library. That's about as far as the connectivity goes with the iPhone right now.

HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app. The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive. I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system. Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing. With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next". If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown. I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized. The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea. If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around. There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers. It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" . To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything. If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA. Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I have so many problems with this remote app. Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Nope. Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes. In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased and download the purchased songs for free.

I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC? Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

Iphone 4s out of control..

Last night I was looking at my emails on my iPhone 4ssuddenly exited the emails and went to music and scrolled through the music andthen went to the itunes store. It was about to purchase something from thatwhen I turned the iphone off and back on. It worked normally for a coupleminutes then went back to randomly doing whatever it wanted. I restored it andthat didnt help. Now it randomly goes on my messages and starts typing randomcrap and scrolls through my contacts as well as through my music, settings,notifications, youtube, and itunes store. I have had an otter box on my phonesince I got it and havent dropped it or spilled anything on it. Apple Support isnt working so maybe someone here can help me with my problem.. Thanks for the help

I am facing the same problem. I am using iphone 4. I was checking my emails and suddenly something got installed on my phone and it went out of control and kept on opening different things. I restore it through itunes but it did'nt help.
Please provide me with some solution.
Thanks

How do you transfer music from iPhone 3G (iPod feature) to music on new iPhone 4?

IPhone record voice on iPod feature

Hi,
I am thinking of buying an iPhone. I want to record voice for podcasts using the iPod feature. Can I do this with the built in mic? or a plug in mic? or do I need to buy an iPod?
Thanks
Marion

The iPods do not have a microphone at all.
I do not know what kind of quality you would get with the built in iPhone mic.
Probably would be better off buying something specifically designed for voice recording.

Using iPod feature of iPhone with 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca

Has anyone had success using the iPod feature on the phone with the B9 Tribeca? The 2006 5-seater model did not come with an auxiliary input, and FM transmitters are poor sound quality because of all the static. I am trying to find a product that does not need to be attached to the cars stereo system or installed in any other way because the car is a lease. Does anyone have any suggestions?

from the iO Play website: (http://www.my-io.com/Products/iOPLAY.aspx)
"+iO PLAY is an innovative, in-car audio streaming device that connects and integrates any of your mobile devices simultaneously and wirelessly using Bluetooth® technology.+"
maybe a different method, but still uses bluetooth technology. sarcasm or not, i believe the point here is that FM transmitters and Bluetooth are your only wireless options.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

HT5570 My six-year old grandson appears to be able to make purchases on the TV without having to enter the password and yet every other device i use (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod) is password protected. How is that possible?

Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it. You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.

Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc. Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones. I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch.
As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great. And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen. And cool colors!
Don't know if this helps . . .

Is there a way to set child locks for safari on iPhone/ipod?

I am concerned with the ability my children have to search all kinds of availbel things on the internet on the iphones/ipods without my knowledge...is there a way to lock out safari, or limits to what can be viewed?

You can turn Safari off completely, but there is no way to restrict the web sites that can be viewed. There are third-party browsers that do offer this feature; MobiCIP for one. You might look into those. Then turn off Safari and the ability to install other apps in the Restrictions and the device will be as protected as you can make it.
Regards.
