IPhone won't stop playing - it's possesed!

Every time I use the ipod functionality on my iPhone, the player goes completely haywire. It starts skipping tracks on it's own, and is completely unresponsive and won't stop playing. When I relaunch the application (by holding the home button), the ipod functionality relaunches itself and continues its fun game. When I reset, the same thing happens. A restore solved the problem (for an hour). Any suggestions?
Bonus * Does the same thing during video playback.
iPhone Mac OS X (10.4.10)

You may have a defective unit especially if the same occurred shortly after a complete restore.
Contact AppleCare or if there is an Apple Store nearby, I would head that way.

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook. All software is up to date. iTunes just gives me an error. No problems when plugged into a PC. Why the nonstop vibrating!?

My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook. All software is up to date. iTunes just gives me an error. No problems when plugged into a PC. Why the nonstop vibrating!?

When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
Thanks in advance for any help!

HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

IPhone 6 audio stops playing with auto lock and when earphones pulled out

When playing an mp3 through Dropbox on my iPhone 6, by audio has been freezing when the phone goes into auto lock. It never used to do this, and I don't think I've changed any settings.
I tried playing music through iTunes to see if it was a dropbox issue. The same thing happens. It also happens if I"m listening through the earphones and I pull the earphones out of the phone. The audio just turns off. iTunes is still open, but it stops playing.
Does anyone know if this is an iPhone 6 thing?

Thanks Meg,
glad to know it's normal.
So my problem remains with the audio freezing when the phone goes into auto lock then. This didn't used to happen.
cheers,

No, that shouldn't happen. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the apple appears?

I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

One possibility:
How do you know it is searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

Flash Pop-Up Videos. Audio won't stop playing...

Hi. I am using a pop-up script to play some .flv videos on my
website. However, after you take the mouse off of the jpeg image
the video goes away, but the audio continues. Is there anything I
can put in my script to make the whole video stop playing? Is there
somekind of onmouseout tag or something that will stop the whole
thing?
Here is the mouseover code:
<a href="
http://www.mywebsite.com"><img
src="productimages4/%VAR(Products.d.code)%.jpg" width="111"
height="70"
onmouseover="showtrail('previews/flash/%VAR(Products.d.code)%256k.flv');"
onmouseout="hidetrail();" border="0"><br>
</a>
Thanks for any help!

Every time I've broken down and sent a question to the discussion board, I figure out the problem myself right afterwards. I worked at it for three days before submitting the question, then figured it out about 30 minutes later.
I was using INSERT - ANIMATION to insert the animation on a blank slide.
I found that what I SHOULD have been doing is using INSERT - OTHER SLIDES - ANIMATION SLIDE because that works beautifully.

Audio from flv player won't stop playing

Hi, I have a swf loading in another swf that has a video player in it. When I remove the swf from the stage, the swf goes away but the audio from the swf keeps playing. Is there a way to tell that swf to stop playing from the parent swf?

I have a document class referencing a class that contains the video player. The reference for the class is called vPlayer and the reference to the actual component in vPlayer is myPlayer.
This is the code in my Document class that calls vPlayer:
               if (window_mc.contains(thumbContainer_mc)) {
                    window_mc.removeChild(thumbContainer_mc);
                    next_btn.visible = false;
                    vPlayer=new videoPlayer;
                    vPlayer.x = (window_mc.x + 60);
                    vPlayer.y = (window_mc.y);
                    window_mc.addChild(vPlayer);
and this is the code in the vPlayer class that calls the FLV component:
          public function makePlayer():void{
                        myPlayer = new FLVPlayback();
               myPlayer.skin = "SkinOverPlaySeekMute.swf";
               myPlayer.skinBackgroundColor = 0x70A16C;
               myPlayer.skinBackgroundAlpha = 0.5;
               myPlayer.skinAutoHide = true;
               myPlayer.x = video_x;
               myPlayer.y = video_y;
               myPlayer.width = 550;
               myPlayer.height = 309;
               main_container.addChild(myPlayer);
               myPlayer.source = myVideos[0]. @ URL;

Lumia 900 Bluetooth won't stop playing music

If I want to have my phone available for handsfree calls and hear the directional prompts using Nokia Drive in my 2011 Acura TSX (not tech package) I have to have the audio set to Bluetooth Audio. But when I do that the Music app automatically starts and plays music. I can turn it off (using the Stop the Music app), but it comes back on after a few seconds. How can I make it stop playing music?
Tom

Hi TomKer,
Thanks for posting and welcome.
Nokia Drive voice navigation does not use or support Bluetooth as audio channel. If you are able to hear navigation through Bluetooth this might indicate an incompatibility between your car system and the Lumia. This may also indicate that your car system is possibly sending control signals over Bluetooth causing the playback of audio to start.
I'd suggest you verify this by connection to a different car system to see if you can recreate this behaviour there. You might also want to contact a Nokia Care Point or the Nokia Care Line (by voice, mail or chat) for further assistance. You can find them through the Contact us section on this page.

Synth won't stop playing!

I tried searching for solutions but to my dismay I could not find one.
For some reason, one of the synths in the project I'm working on just will not stop playing, long after the bar has ended. It holds out the last note and will not stop until I either mute it or stop the track.
During the midi sequence, I used the sustain pedal but I don't know how to edit the sustain as I can't get it to show in the piano roll. Even then, how could the sustain pedal make it hold the last note on forever?
My question is, why is this occuring and how do I get it to end reasonably? It seems to be a decay problem - it's just not ending. Looking forward to your reply!

In the Piano Roll open the Hyper Draw view. Here you can edit the sustain CC. Also in the Event List you can edit control messages.
Check the note length does not extend far beyond the end of the region too.

My alarm won't stop playing!!!

I'm using an iPhone 5 (5, not 5c or 5s or whatever) and recently upgraded from iOS 7.1.1 (or 1.11?) to iOS 8.1 and am encountering a big problem with my phone's clock/alarm app...
After the alarm rings, I get to hit "Snooze" or "Ok". If it Hit Ok the alarm keeps playing over and over again until I go into the music app, at which point it stops.
I tried deleting all the alarms in the app, and re-creating them. That didn't work. I tried restoring my phone and trying again and that didn't work...

Thanks Patrick. I think I tried that and it's about the same. It just keeps playing until it's ready to stop. But I never had this problem with earlier versions. I wonder if zapping the PRAM would do anything to help the playback issues.
I've reinstalled both system and application software and I'm not sure if I'd gain anything by zapping the PRAM. Any thoughts?

So my iPhone 3GS just stopped playing anything related to audio. How do I get that fixed

Yeah I was I the middle of YouTube and my audio completely stopped. Not through headphones or anything. Now when I try to start something with sound my phone doesn't even play it. How do I fix it?

Main Video on Multi-State Object Won't Stop Playing!

In InDesign CS5. I have created an Interactive PDF that has a Mult-State Object of videos.
I have One main video and 4 thumbnail videos set up in a gallery formation. So when the user clicks the main video or the thumb nails the different states change.
However when a user clicks on the main video the video sounds as if it is being played twice with an echo. When the user clicks to pause the video...the video stops and the audio continues to play, but without the echo.
However if I choose a video from the "side-bar" first the videos play perfectly fine without any echos.
I cannot figure out why if the main video is selected it plays twice with an echo and the audio continues when I press pause.
But how everything works perfectly fine if the user chooses the videos form the thumbnail "gallery"
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Also, while the video is playing, the video displays improperly: it lags and doubles (I'm not sure i was clear...).Thanks! Cheers!
