IPhone - music skipping and pausing - headset problem?

I've noticed a problem when I've been out on a run with my iPhone. Late in the run the music will stop and start and skip around. I suspect the problem is in the Apple headset. I think sweat is getting into the mouthpiece/pause-advance gismo and sending false signals to the iPhone. I've also noticed (during runs) that the pause-advance feature is inconsistant; sometimes it advances, sometimes not.
I would like to upgrade the headset to the V-Moda Vibe headset as soon as those are available with the call receive/hangup function.
Has anyone else noticed these problems.

that's funny... that just occured to me last night... thought the phone was buggin out so i restored it... shoulda just did a search on the forums... now i have to reinstall all my 3rd party apps...
i was also at the gym sweatin to the oldies when this occurred... and i do believe it's the head set... i understand the pausing and playin, but sometimes the song will change back and forth and what not... very strange behavior....

  • Music skips and pauses during work out

    Ciao a tutti,
    I like to use my iPhone when I'm working, stapping it to my arm with an XtremMac SportWrap, and listening to my playlists.
    I'm running for about 40 minutes and usually about halfway through my workout, or towards the end, the music starts wigging out. It pauses, then skips ahead to the next track, pauses again, on and on. Sometimes it just stops playing and I have to hit play again.
    After my second trip the Mac Genius he replaced it. But it's now happening to the SECOND ONE!
    My fear is that it's a corrupt music file, which would kill me because I have over 20,000 songs in my iTunes. The other possibility is maybe it's heating up too much during my work out. ???
    Has anybody had this problem before!

    One thing you might take a look at.
    be conscience of any moisture getting in the microphone on the earbud cables when your working out.
    This could cause the contacts to short out and as a result the music could start pausing, or skipping.
    Hope this helps.

  • Replacement ipod skipping and pausing songs

    Hi, 
    I paid to have my replaced in january as I had smashed the screen and it was out of warranty but now the replacement continually skips and pauses songs and activates voice control while it is locked. According to apple this new ipod is not under warranty so i would have to pay to get it sent in for repair. I'm currently living in Austria where Apple stores aren't easily accessible so I can't just take it in...Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    i us iphon in syria and i have problem in the mic how can you help me

    Try to Reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).
    If that does not work try Restoring it in iTunes.
    Still no go? You will need to get it serviced.

  • 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:"?

  • Skips and pauses in Itunes

    HI, Last night I watched two episodes of Lost which I had been saving. I just put up with the annoying skips and pauses and just tried to consentrate on what a good series it is and that I am lucky to be able to download and see it. The second one played better no skips and pauses but half wat through I got a broken line across the screen about a quarter of the way up the screen that didn't go away untill the episode ended.
    Any word on fixes for Itunes playback?

    Do you have 'volume logic' installed if so try removing it, it worked for me

  • IPhone iOS 7 Music Playlist and Album Cover Problems

    I have had problems with my iPhone 4 ever since the iOS 7 update, especially with music. I have tried making playlists for my music from my mac and syncing it with my phone and the playlists never sync correctly. I then tried it the other way and created the playlists on my phone and tried syncing it but it still doen't sync correctly. Another problem that may or may not be connected to this issue is that the pictures of the albums in my music, videos, and movies are all switched around between eachother and none of them are correct.

    Very many thanks for a super fast and effective solution.
    Music has gone but I am still left (in Music) with an unselected music video.  How do I rid myself of that?
    Your support is much appreciated. 
    Thank you

  • Problems with iTunes. Music skips and hisses. Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.

    Problems with iTunes. Music. When I put on my ear buds, I hear it more clearly. There is this skipping and hisses. If you are an old (50)audiophile like I was when I was young, it sounds sort of like a record is skipping on my turntable. When I try to play a song it skips, jumps around and the Sound is terrible. I have an IPad 2 and iOS7.1.  Help!!! Thanks in advanced. Spike

    Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

  • Verizon galaxy nexus-music skips and static when screen is off..

    What i do is download videos using youtube
    downloader and convert them into mp3. Then i connect my phone to the laptop with
    the usb cable. I open my computer-galaxy nexus-music, and i drag the saved mp3
    from my laptop to my phone. When i disconnect the phone,I open the music app and
    I listen to my music and it sounds fine when the screen is on. When the screen
    is Off the music starts to skip a little and i hear static with or without
    headphones. Now i used the same procedure when i load music from my laptop with
    other mp3 devices and ipods and the music sounds good when the screen is on or
    off with those devices. I downloaded a song from the android market and amazon,
    stored it and downloaded to my phone for offline play and both songs stutter or
    static when screen is off.

    From the beginning, I wasn’t too impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. Why? It’s a Samsung. Would I purchase a Samsung for a basic phone? Sure, but when it comes to “top of the line” smart phones, Samsung wouldn’t be my first, second or even third choice. Now, don’t get me wrong, I contemplating parting with 299.99 to purchase the Nexus. The ics appeal outweigh some of my skepticism.. but before I buy a phone, I sit on review boards, cnet reviews, youtube reviews, etc. etc. In addition, it’s hard to trust a new phone of its kind. All the kinks (clearly) haven’t been ironed out. I, like Rushfan2112 went with the Rezound. And I LOVE it.
    But do I think the Nexus is a “poor” phone? Na. Not by a long shot. Does VZW hinder the devices full potential? Of course – but we as Verizon customers should already know this – they proved so with the Iphones. Moreover, I’m a bit confused by the lack of update to the OS as well. This phone was specifically designed and released. It’s not as if we’re waiting for a complete OS change like HTC Rezound, Rhyme, & Motorola Bionic, 4 and Razr customers are. I understand that takes time because the OS has to be modified for each device. But the Nexus started with ICS, the ambiguity in the software updates is ridiculous….

  • Why is my itunes music skipping and how do i fix it?

    my music is skipping when i play it, and it is not music that i have burned from a scratched cd, and it worked without skipping a day ago. it is not just one song, most of them skip at at least one point in time on the song. the only thing that i could think of that may have caused this is that the other day when i tried updating my ipod the cable fell out and so it was unplugged from my computer in the middle of an update, which is obviuosly bad, and then when i tried updating it again it got stuck on one song that i have since deleted. the music on my ipod that i updated works fine too. so could that have caused the problem, and how do i fix it?

    Jeff, is the music skipping in iTunes? Or is it on the iPod?
    If in iTunes, try this:

    I bought a Xtreme Audio soundcard today, and found a problem.
    When I connect my headset with the front connection on my PC -> no problem

  • New iPhone 5 - internet and mail reception problems?

    I just acquired a new iPhone 5. I have regular reception internet and mail reception problems. The internet on both Wifi and provider network drops out on a regular basis, although reception signals of both wifi and network are strong. When turning off the phone and restarting the internet comes back for a short while and loses connection again. Has somebody else experience similar difficiulties, If yes how can this be fixed.
