IPhone randoly playing music

Help! I undated my iPhone to the 2.1 version, and now it randomly plays music form my iPod, and the worst thing is that it isn't even playing music from the last played songs. It is randonly choosing songs from random albums and choosing a different album and different song everytime it freaks out. Any advice? Please help!

Hello, it sounds like you've got shuffle turned on, you need to turn this off - See page 62 of the user guide. You may also be playing music from a Genius playlist.
Here is a link to the iPhone user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
Hope this helps.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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).

  • 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.

    Hello sound_freak,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when connecting your iPod to your your Wadia 170i dock.  I recommend reviewing the article below to further isolate and troubleshoot an issue like this (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

  • 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 cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

    Hey all,
    This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
    My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
    I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
    Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?
    Bill

    The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
    You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.

  • My iphone starts playing music when I'm not even touching the phone

    My iphone 4 starts playing music when the phone is in my purse and I'm not touching it or even going through my purse. I've tried making sure the ipod is not set to a song but rather to a menu screen when I close it. Sometimes I haven't even used the ipod recently. My phone also calls people when I'm not touching it. Does anyone else have this problem? It must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what it could be. I'd appreciate any help!

    Mine plays music when I have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and bend over a little, I know that kinda 'scrunches' the phone slightly but no other iPhone I've had ever did this and I've treated them all the same. I'll be walking along, pick up something and then the music starts playing. I don't touch anything, never attach headphones, basically the phone is asleep but somehow something triggers the music to start playing. I've entered this as a separate thread but no one seems to know why this happens. I suppose I could take the phone back and exchange it for a new one, but it would be better to know what is causing this.

  • Iphone randomly plays music

  • 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.

  • 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.
