IPhone no longer remembers position in track properly

I'm seeing a couple of problems related to audio playback in OS 3.0. Playing audio in the iPod application doesn't properly remember where I stopped playing a track previously, and doesn't consistently show which track is currently playing. Both of these may be related to playing tracks at 2X speed, but I'm not sure that's always the case.
I listen to a number of podcasts and sometimes speed through them at 2X speed. Sometimes when I'm doing this when the current track is finished playing the progress slider still shows that it is only half way through the track. Then, when the next track begins it still shows the old track information, although sometimes it eventually advances the display to the next track.
In addition, almost always, when I try to continue playing later the iPod app no longer properly remembers where I left off. This seems to be related to the above problem in that it continues where the progress slider was last positioned, which, as I mentioned, isn't where the audio is actually.
So, are others seeing this? Any workarounds?

Apple, any update on this?
I listen to long mp3s with the 'Remember Playback Postion' setting checked which are not updating correctly when I sync back to iTunes.

  • No longer remembers position in playlist

    I have had my First Gen iPod shuffle for about a year and a half, and for the most part everything still works dandy.
    However, it no longer remembers its position in a playlist or a song from the last time it was turned off. I have tried resetting the firmware (and doing this with different versions of iPod updater) but I still have the same problem. Other than that, the thing plays fine and updates with no problems. I just have had this very strange problem, and haven't found anyone who has had a similar problem who could help me out. This has unfortunately prevented me from using the shuffle for playing audiobooks (as I previously enjoyed doing).
    Has anyone else had this very odd problem, and know how to help me out? I'm running iTunes 6.0.5.20 (I can't run 7 on my machine) and iPod Shuffle firmware version 1.1.4.
    Any help would be greatly aprreciated. Thanks!

    It's not a fix, but a workaround. Don't turn the shuffle off. When you want to stop listening for a while, pause the shuffle. After a period of time it will go to sleep and use a negligible amount of battery.
    To resume playing, press the Play/Pause button. The green LED will blink for 3-5 seconds while the shuffle wakes up, then press Play/Pause again.
    This is the way I use my shuffle, but I don't have any experience with audiobooks.
    Good luck

  • IPhone does not remember song or track or position in playlist or audio book

    I am hoping Apple will fix a problem with Ios7.0.x where iPhone does not remember song or track or position in playlist or audio book.  It worked fine with ios6.x

    Hello SashMir,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains steps to complete a restore on your device. You may want to consider a restore then setting up as "new," to alleviate the issues you've described:

  • TS1702 the apps on my iphone no longer have audio????

    The apps on iphone no longer have audio.  When I try to increase volumn the ringer appears but the audio level dots do not appear????

    If the switch is not in the wrong position try this
    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

    Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
    During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call.  So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of.  Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message.  Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message. 

    Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

    Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
    Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
    Did you source patch the audio tracks?

  • Apps bought on Iphone no longer sync to iTunes on PC

    The subject explains it all, my iPhone no longer syncs any of the apps purchased on the iPhone back onto iTunes on the PC. In fact, the itunes doesnt see any apps when connected to my iPhone - and I can't move or edit the apps contained on my iphone within the software.
    What a nightmare, and another example of how annoying and pathetic iTunes is.
    Please help.

    Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. If using windows, this will be under the edit menu. Make sure the account you're signed into in itunes matches the account on your phone Settings>Store>View Account. Connect your phone, itunes running, go up to Store>Authorize this Computer(to make sure your computer is authorized). Then File>Transfer Purchases. This should put all of your purchased content into your itunes library.
    FYI: The sync for content like music & apps is ONE way, computer to phone. Content you purchase directly on your phone is transferred to your itunes library.

  • 10.5.8 Finder no longer remembers open windows in FileVaulted home director

    I am having a strange problem since upgrading to 10.5.8 - in my FileVault home directory, the Finder no longer remembers which windows are open. Each time I log in, I get just a clean desktop no matter how many windows were open before. This does not affect any non-FileVaulted users on my system.
    Is this a permissions issue? And if yes, how do I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Michael

  • With Update 1.1.3  iPhone no longer syncs with iCal

    I run Leopard on a MacBook Pro. After upgrading my iPhone to 1.1.3, iCal and the calendar on iPhone no longer syncs, at all. I brought this to the NYC Soho Apple Store, but the genius couldn't figure it out. Only the two default calendars "Home" and "Work" synced, although not every time. Help! What should I do now? Enter events twice? Once in the iPhone, since that's what I take with me, and once on iCal, since when restoring iPhone settings that's what's used? Many thanks!

    I'm not sure I understand what the problem is -- first you said it doesn't sync at all, and then you said that your Home and Work calendars sync intermittently.
    Personally, I would do several things:
    1) Make sure you are not using Entourage -- and if you are, make sure all Sync functions are unchecked in preferences so that nothing is using Mac's sync services and copying back and forth.
    2) Print out your calendars (use month view) for the entire year so that you have a backup.
    3) Do you need to have separate calendars? I find it ridiculous personally to have work and home and entourage calendars, and combine them into one. It's all my calendar information anyway, and it goes with me everywhere, why would I want more than one calendar....anyway....not to get off on a tangent...
    If you can do without two calendars, combine them all into one (you export one of them, then import it back into the other one, then delete the one your exported and imported. You can do a search for the help topic on how to combine calendars.
    Rename the one combined calendar your name, rather than home or work. Sync your iPhone. On the Info tab, make sure that you have the calendar name selected (it will recognize the new name of your calendar. Also make sure you have the sync to: Your Name calendar selected.
    4) If that does not work, I would totally delete all of my calendars from iCal - and sync (to erase all the calendar information from your iPhone).
    5) Create a new calendar, and manually re-enter all your calendar information. Sync new information to your iPhone.
    In reality -- I have no idea why you are having problems -- I also have 1.1.3 on my iPhone, and I also sync with iCal. I haven't had any problems -- but then I only have the one calendar.

  • IPhone No Longer Sorts Podcasts By Release Date After 3.1 Update

    After upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1 and iTunes 9.0(70) Podcasts on the iPhone no longer sort according to their release date. The ordering is definitely not alphabetical or any of the other user selectable sorting options. If I had to guess I'd say it's sorting them by reverse download order (which when you update less frequently than once a day is quite confusing since iTunes downloads most recent first). Is this a problem with the iPhone OS, iTunes or an option that I'm missing somewhere (the iTunes podcast tab is set to sort by release date).

    I'm thinking this is not a iphone 3.1 upgrade issue, as the only thing I have upgraded is to iTunes 9 and I am having the exact same problem. After upgrading my phone did lock up really bad. The screen was on, was showing slide to unlock but was totally unresponsive to the home and sleep buttos. Plugging it back into the computer also did nothing. I had to hard restart it with the home and sleep button in sych.
    My Podcasts have no sorting capability what so ever. There is no logical reason they are so jumbled up.

  • IPhone no longer appears in iTunes

    I have been syncing my iPhone(s) with iTunes since June 2007 on my G5 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.11. Yesterday, I finally updated my OS to 10.5.8 and the Leopard version of iTunes 9.0.2. However, my iPhone no longer shows up in the source pane of the iTunes window. I've repaired permissions, restarted, unplugged and plugged in my dock cable, all to no avail. Any suggestions?

    I've already done just about everything there; I'm going to install iTunes 9.0.2 for the third time to see if a fresh download works. Remember, everything worked just fine with iTunes 9.0.2 in Tiger; but in Leopard, Software Update said I had to update again to 9.0.2. I did so, but still have the problem.

  • The sound on my iphone no longer works, nor do the buttons at the side that turn sound on and off/volume control. But weirdly, you can play music without headphones. Tried restore and jack in and out. No luck... any ideas?

    The sound on/off  button onthe side of my iPhone no longer works, nor do the volume buttons. All sound has disappeared from the phone apart from the Music which still plays. Have tried th Restore and restart phone plus have plugged and unplugged phone jack. No luck  - any idea anyone?

    One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone.  I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner.  An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand.  The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced.  I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

  • IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

    Hi there,
    For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
    Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)

    If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.
