Ipod a week old, stops playing, artwork, videos go pink.

...pretty much as i have written in the title, got bought a new skin for my ipod, walked..jumped on the bus home..played three songs..then stopped..glitched over which song it was going to play...then suddenly i ouldnt pick any song as it would revert back to menue, all the artwork has turned pink.
is it worth returning the ipod...or will a full restore reduce the likleyhood of it happening again...it's only a week old, used it all week. not chuffed!

Hi, Tjblue8!
Have you tried resetting your iPod? Hold the Menu and Center buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds (maybe more) until the Apple logo pops up.
Hope this helps!

My ipod touch will not stop playing music

My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

Safari randomly stopped playing Youtube videos

Just the other day Safari stopped playing Youtube videos. I have tried running safari in 32bit mode but nothing. I would appreciate any info or help, thanks.

I went to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and found that I was part of the HTML5 trial for YouTube and that YouTube videos should be playing via HTML5 and not Flash.
I left the HTML5 trial so that the video were being played by nasty old Flash... Guess what, it works.
Videos are now playing normally using Flash.
My suggestion is go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and see if you are part of the HTML5 trial also, if you are, leave the trial and see how you go.

Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing in the middle of song

Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing song randomly while listening. What gives?

i think i FINALLY solved the problem - by simply switching the wire that connects my ipod to my computer (i was using a firewire, and switched to a usb).
Did you by any chance have the iPod connected through a hub , or through another device, G?
Its not uncommon to have issues like this occur if , for example, you have a firewire device equipped with a "Prolific" 3507 firewire bridge . THese are found in many cheap external FW enclosures used for external burners and HD's , for example. The only real solution is to disconnect all such devices to avoid interruptions on the FW bus. (or, at least with the iPod, you can simply use USB2 instead).

Apple TV suddenly stopped playing any video

Yesterady my apple tv stopped playing any type of video. This includes movies I've purchased on iTunes, previews on iTunes, Hulu, Netflix. I click play on the video the spinner pops up and the video *almost* starts and then just cancels itself going back to the previous screen. I've tried:
1. Restarting ATV
2. Resetting ATV
3. Testing network connection on ATV -> all is ok
4. Restarting my router & ATV
I'm able to go on the internet with other devices so I know I have internet connection. I'm also able to sign into the Apple Network with my ATV so I believe it has internet connection as well.

So we have this ATT provider in common.
Based upon this other discussion -- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5565870?start=0&tstart=0 -- I ran the Netflix video called 'Example Short 23.976' -- though I had to wait about 15 minutes for it to start playing, it eventually did. I have the U-Verse service of 12 MBPS, and speedtest.net confirms that is what I am indeed getting. But the results showing in Example Short 23.976 should be (and used to be) 5800 kbps; tonight it is 230 kbps, then 500, then 1000, then 2000, then freeze, buffer for a minute, then back down to 230 kbps.
I suggest you run the Netflix video called 'Example Short 23.976' both during prime time hours and at other times during the day, and report back to us with your results. I have a suspicion this is an ATT problem.

After being open for a while (with several tabs) Firefox becomes generally unresponsive and stops playing sound - videos will still play, but no sound.

This problem has only begun happening recently. I commonly keep my Firefox open overnight with websites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs including but not limited to Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Sometimes, after several hours/days of not restarting Firefox or my computer, Firefox begins to become unresponsive - that is to say, pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser, and videos will take up to 30 seconds to begin playing. In addition to this, sound will stop playing; if I begin a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive loading, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, websites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, will stop making sound.
Note that this is different from a flash plugin crash - when flash crashes, both audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; if I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens again the same way until I restart my computer completely.
Also of note: I have had, in the past, this same thing happen but rainymood.com continued playing, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I'm not sure where to begin. Also, sometimes this is only a Firefox-specific problem, meaning other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my entire computer stop making sounds, except for Ventrilo, which works but is also unresponsive at first.

You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

IPod 20GB Click Wheel Stops Playing Music

All,
All of a sudden, my iPod 20GB Click Wheel just stops playing music in the middle of songs. I have to hit the play button and restart it. It's pausing the song. It does this periodically/randomly. Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
TC

The folder with an exclamation point is often a software issue on the iPod. The best troubleshooting step for this error is to restore the iPod.

If it still is not working after the restore, you'll probably need to set up a dispatch at the following website.

Sound stop playing during video playing on ipad 1 with ios 5.1.1

after updating my ipad 1 to ios 5.11 the sound on my ipad sometimes stops suddenly. it happens during video playback, music listening or just text typing on keyboard.
i ve tried all the advices seen on communities and no one worked for me (restore the system, change the lock screen button configuration, clean the headphone input, test with apple headphones...)
please help me to find a solution and thank you for your help.
another information : when sound stop playing, sometimes when i lock the ipad, a strange noise comes from the speakers like a larsen.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
Would appreciate any help, thanks

- The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
- Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
Reset. Nothing is lost

Itunes stopped playing my video

First, I have itunes 6.0.4 and Quicktime 7.1.1. itunes suddenly quit playing any of my videos. Never had a problem before. Content consists of both music video (purchased and non itms) and downloaded TV shows from itms. I click on the item as usual and nothing happens. The view box says nothing playing. Non-video music plays okay. When I select a video and goto file/get info, I can play the video in the preview box. I can open the video with Quicktime and it all plays as it should. The only problem is playing from my itunes library screen. Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I was looking in the forum to see if there is an answer, but apparently not. This *****. I have tons of videos and as of yesterday, I was able to play them all easily on iTunes 6. Today I upgraded to iTunes 7 only beacuse it was required by the iTunes music store to purchase a video, now I have purchased it I can not even play it. When I click on the video selection in my iTunes library nothing happens. When I click on the play button when the video is hightlighted in the player nothing happens. what the ****? So far it hasn't effected the players ability to play music. I tried reinstalling the software and that did nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

IPod Nano (2nd generation) stops playing some songs after 30-60 seconds

I purchased a 2nd generation 2 GB iPod Nano last week (03/13/07) and experienced problem with some songs stopping after 30-60 seconds and then skipping to the next song.
The songs in question were downloaded in Mp3 format from a CD and they play fine and in their entirity from the iTunes library.
I tried the 5Rs but with no success. Thinking the iPod Nano was defective, I exchanged it today (03/16/07) however, the same problem persists and with the same songs.
I tried compressing the songs but that made matters worse, i.e., the play duration shortened and/or the songs didn't play at all.
Is this an iPod Nano issue or a problem with certain songs? Given that the identical problem exists with two brand new units, I suspect the latter but I don't know what to do.
The songs are not "read only" or "origin-protected".
Appreciate any assist.
Thanks.

I've experienced the same problem with some songs that will start playing for few seconds but then skip to the next song. This is with songs I've ripped from CDs and transferred from an old computer. I've tried the 5 R's, repeatedly. It does not help. Is there anyway to fix this other than deleting the songs from my computer and re-downloading from CD's? I've got over 1,800 songs on my iPod and really don't want to go through each one to figure out which I need to reload.

Safari stops playing youtube videos

Recently when playing You Tube videos I find that the playback overtakes the downloa, thereby stopping.
This happens with Safari and Firefox.
To clarify: The grey part of the progress bar does not stay ahead of the red playback bar.
I never had this problem before. I just switched from cable to Fios and have a higher band width then I had with cable.
I trashed the User>Home>Library>Preference, but that didn't fix the problem.
I have a 250GB HD with 172 GB available.
Any advice on how to correct this is appreciated.
Thanks.

First of all you should make sure that you have the latest version of Mac OSX. It's latest version is 10.6.8. Also you should make sure that you have the latest version of Safari browser on your Mac. If you have already have latest version of Safari browser and Mac OSX or updated your Safari browser and Mac OSX and this problem occurred again trying to download latest version of Flash Player and Shockwave Player. After downloading these two plugins for your browser if problem occurred again trying to reinstall your browsers.
I hope your problem solve with these tricks.

Why do my clips stop playing the video even though the audio continues?

While I am in Viewer, I try to play my clips that I have uploaded from iMovie (because the same jerky problem would happen when I tried to capture the video into FCE). The video would begin to successfully play, then the audio would continue and the video would stop. Why is this and how can I change this? Thanks in advance.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Welcome to the forum.
Be sure that your sequence's settings (see easy setup command in Final Cut Express HD menu) match the format for your video material (like DV NTSC or PAL or HDV) before capture anything. Pay attention to shoot with a 16 bit audio mode, not 12 bit, and use a 48kHz setting for audio in easy setup dialog.
FCE HD can only edit natively standard DV or HDV media captured on tape based camcorder.
