Ipod 60GB froze while listening to music

I purchased an ipod 60GB about 6 weeks ago and was enjoying my new toy very much. On my morning commute to work my Ipod stopped playing in the middle of a song and started skipping to the next song and the next without being able to play any of them. The battery also started draining rapidly. Once I arrived in the office I plugged my ipod in to start charging the battery and tried resetting my ipod. Now I get a icon to visit www.apple.com/ipod/support, which I did but could not find any help. I tried resetting again to no avail. I do notice a skipping harddrive sound from the ipod as if something is stuck. Can anyone help me?

Mine just did the same thing. I did a reset, and did a restore. It seems to be working right now. Might be worth a try.

Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing. You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.

How can I stop text tones from playing while listening to music?

When I am using my phone as an iPod I sometimes get multiple texts from people in various group messages. Is there a way to disable the text tones while listening to music?

Hey there Brett, during the summer I found myself with a broken ringer and it was stuck on full volume. If you go into your setting under sound you will find your text tones, there you will select NONE and theres no noise when you get a text

Screen Savers That Work While Listening To Music

HI, i'm having a hard time find a simple "screenblanker"(mabye text or a clock) screensaver saver that I can have on while listening to music. My problem is all the apple original screen savers, they all turn off when I ajust my music volume! And i dont want this to happen Anyluck?

I have a very cool suggestion for you:
1: Download the free SoundStream screeensaver and install it, set it as your screensaver.
http://pcheese.net/software/soundstream/
2: Next open AppleScript Editor and paste this script in:
tell application "System Events"
    if process "ScreenSaverEngine" exists then
        tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
    else
        do shell script "System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSav erEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
    end if
end tell
4: Now Save the script "DeskScreen" as a Application to your Utilities Folder and drag a alias to the Dock.
5: Hide the Dock (optional)
6; Play iTunes and enable the "DeskScreen" and enjoy, uses your microphone and the sound to create effects.
7: To stop the effect, just click the "DeskScreen" icon in the Dock again and it turns off. You have full use of the computer too.
8: Works with most screensavers. Eats CPU/GPU, so you might want to cut it off when your using the machine for heavy duty programs.
Enjoy
and a bonus....free 3D game...

Ipod froze while listening

i have a 30GB iopd with video.it froze while i was listening to it.I tried to restart as well as reset it but it just wont respond.I tried to connect it to the usb but now the computer wont recognize it.It is still showing the song i was playing on it but it wont respond.Any ideas???????

Make sure you are resetting the iPod correctly.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
Also, see these.
iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize the iPod is connected.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring using disk mode is often the key.
Just as an aside, if you have more questions about the iPod with video, it should be posted in this forum.

Ipod classic froze while loading game

yeah i was trying to play a game but it froze, it kept playing the song but once it finished that stopped too, so now its just frozen on the loading screen. i plugged it into my computer and the little safley remove hardware things there but it doesnt show up on anything else. when itunes eventually realises that there is an ipod attached it just says that it needs to be restored. when i click this the only thing that happens is that itunes freezes too. how can i fix this?

I also have stability problems with my iPod, often related to iQuiz.
My iPod however is a 3rd gen Nano with the latest firmware update.
I observe two kinds of crashes:
a) about once every two hours when actively using the iPod, i. e. not just listening to music but also doing things like changing IQ settings, searching songs, selecting playlists, playing games, ...)
=> the iPod suddenly reboots and then functions as usual.
b) happened twice in ca. 2 months when playing iQuiz:
=> The Nano freezes completely.
There's a loud buzzing sound for the headphones.
The screen shows the iQuiz layout but no text.
The iPod does not respond at all, also not to resetting like "hold on-off, then pressing menu and enter for 6-8 seconds".
The only fix I have found is to let the battery run empty. Then recharge.
I have restored factory settings with no success. I have had multiple crashes of type a) since then, and the second crash of type b) was after the factory reset.
As far as I recall the crashes started after a firmware-upgrade to 1.1.3.
Unfortunately I found no way to downgrade firmware for the iPod.
In general iQuiz seems to be a buggy game.
- iQuiz Music Quiz 2 asks misleading questions for compilations: Like "Song xyz was recorded in ...?" But the date asked for is that of the compilation. So Music Quiz doesn't filter out compilations or albums with "Best of", "Greatest Hits", ... in the title.
- Sometimes the song that I am asked about is not playing back: Like "The title of this song is ...?", but then there is nothing to be heard.
Still, no matter how buggy iQuiz is, the iPod should not crash.
But I have also had crashes when exiting from playlists. So the stability problems are not solely related to games and iQuiz specifically.

HELP! I am missing calls while listening to music on my iPhone 5.

Device: iPhone 5
Completelty upgraded to iOS 7.1.1
Apps set to automatically update
Carrier: Verizon
Location - Atlanta, GA
This use to happen occassionally, but has become a more frequent issue as of late. When I am listening to my music player or watching Netflix/Amazon on my phone I am randomly missing phone calls.
For example...just this morning, my wife called me and said "are you OK, I've called 4 times." My reaction was once again annoyance and disbelief because I was simply driving down the interstate listening to my music. The phone never stopped the music to answer the call on her first four attempts and then the call apparently went through on her 5th attempt.
This has happened at least once EVERY day this week. I have missed calls from my friends, nanny and most importantly about 10-12 calls from my wife.
It really does appear to be completely random because once this week my wife called while I was driving into work listening to my music and the call came through on the first attempt. My music paused, I clicked ANSWER...no problems at all. The call lasted a few minutes, we hung up, and my music automatically started back up. 30 minutes later she called me back, while I was listening to music and the call never came through to me. My music didnt stop, my phone didnt ring and I do not have a missed call on my call log. She however showed me her call log and sure enough it took her 4 times to reach me for that second call.
Sometimes it only blocks one attempt on her part...other times it can be 3 or 4. Needless to say, this is becoming a very annoying issue.
I do not have the "Do Not Distrub" feature activated. I have NEVER used that feature. Here are the settings, which I presume are the default setting, under the DND menu: Again, these must be the default setting because I have not touched them. Ever.
Manual - turned off
Scheduled - turned off
Allow calls from - Favorites. I do not have any "favorites" programmed into my contacts.
Repeated Calls - this is turned ON
Silence - this has "Only while iPhone is locked" selected.
Also, my phone will periodically, randomly tell me I have a voice mail but not make a noise and not ring at all. Text messages are also being ignored. No sound, no buzz, and then all of a sudden I get abanner notification of having a voice mail/text message.
Again, it works MOST Of the time with no issue.
Any thoughts on this?
Anyone else having the same issue?
Could this be a bug with iOS 7.1.1???
Thank you,
Ben

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

Keep The Screen on While Listening To Music IOS8

While driving and listening to music, I prefer to have the iPhone's screen on ... just makes it easier to change songs without having to hit the home button to bring the player controls back up. Is there a way to do this in ios8?

Hi shafeen,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can turn off the Auto-Lock in Settings to keep you iPhone from going to sleep. Keep in mind that your battery life will decrease if your iPhone does not go to sleep.
iPhone: About General Settings
Auto-Lock
Locking iPhone turns off the display. Nothing happens if you touch the screen. You can still receive calls and text messages, an you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on the iPhone Stereo headset when listening to music or on a call.
Set the amount of time before iPhone locks
Choose General > Auto-Lock and choose a time.
Have a great day,
Joe

Dr-bt50 Issue while listening to music

Hello
I have a problem here whit my Sony dr-bt50.
While am playing music on my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music the music is "lagging" alot.
If im thinking right the phone isn't strong enough to hold the line? It is realy annoying when am at work and listening trough it!
I hope Nokia will release a new update to fix this thing

I wouldn't assume the problem is with the phone. Lag on A2DP bluetooth headsets is often reported on a variety of phones and headsets, and it may not be a problem with the phone or the headset but the A2DP standard itself.
I've never heard a full explanation for this, different people come up with different theories, but one thing you can try is using lower bit-rate music as that may be easier for the connection to cope with. (When I used a lower bit rate music collection I never had any problems with A2DP.)

Ipad screen freezes while listening to music

this problem has occurred several times since i upgraded to IOS5 and basically when i am listening to music and want to change playlist or genre,etc... the screen freezes and it will not let me change to what i selected.Whatever i'm listening to that's it unless i go and restore ipad to it's original settings and then it works well until down the road it decides to freeze and must perform restore again.
Please help.Thx.

Ok,i am replying to my question and i have found the solution!
I had set my auto lock to never and when i changed the auto lock to 15 minutes all my problems went away.It's been a week and my problem with the screen going black and not beign able to make any changes while listening to the music app has not come back.
Hopefully whomever reads this and has the same problem just follow my example and you should be fine.
Good luck

Use iPod as hard disk & listen to music?

Is it possible to use your iPod as a Hard Disk & be able to listen to the music on it?
Like, if you wanna save your music JUST INCASE your computer crashes ALL OF A SUDDEN, but you still want to be able to listen to music and enjoy your iPod & not just have it sitting there as an extra hard drive.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do both?
And if so, How?
5th Generation 30GB Windows XP

Wrong.
Of course you can use your ipod as a hard disk as well as using it as an iPod to play music. There is nothing wrong with this at all.
There is one downside. The content will take up twice as much space on your iPod.
You'll need to sync your content to the iPod using itunes -AND- copy it manually to another folder using the iPod as a hard disk.
So, the answer really is YES, you can use your iPod as music player, and a hard disk for all of your content as long as your library takes up less than half the total capacity of your iPod hard drive.
Additioanlly, there are ways to copy the content off your iPod even when it's not being used as a hard disk. It requires third-party software, but it's possible. Thats another topic altogether.

Scrolling pictures on Apple TV while listening to music

How do I turn off pictures that are scrolling when I listen to music from my compute when music coming through Apple TV? Or how do I turn on scrolling through pictures from IPHOTO instead of these pictures which Apple TV is pulling from some other source?
Kent Hill

Made real progress, but I can't make it choose just IPHOTO. It insists on me choosing an"event," and I have a thousand of those. I was hoping to have it randomly go through my IPHOTOs. Ideas?
Thanks.
Kent

Phone Volume buttons doesn't work when you receive a call while listening to music

It is surprising to see such a silly and annoying bug. I was listening to music at high volume. Then received a call when the phone was unlocked and on music player. Now the fun started. I cannot reduce the volume by the outside volume buttons where as the volume of voice stays same. Very annoying dis-pleasurable experience. Don't know if it is common on other iPhones but it happened consistently on iPhone6+.
Workaround - If we lock the phone and use the volume buttons then it reduces and increases sound successfully.

The point I am referring to is already when I picked the call the controls didn't switch to Phone App. The whole time Phone app is active on the screen volume is not reducing at all. Quirk of the system - there is no soft volume control on the phone app hence user has to use the Hardware side buttons only. When phone app is in focus and in control the volume controls should work. This is definitely a major bug.
