Ipod always starts at the beginning.

it used to work fine, started back at the song I shut it down with, and now it doesn't. it goes right back to the very first song again, making me have to forward through all the songs to get where i was. also starts all play lists in backward order. reset it to factory settings. No good. anyone help? thanks

You might try pausing the shuffle before shutting it off. This is the way I do mine and it always starts up where I left off even if it is in the middle of a song. Remember that when you turn it back on that you have to hit the play button twice. Hope this helps.

  • How can I make my movies always start from the beginning?

    I want to use my iPod to present short videos as part of a live presentation. I've conquered the hurdles, and have the iPod sending video out to my projector, but I want to ensure that every movie starts at the beginning, even if I had cut it short in the last presentation.
    I thought I saw a setting for this somewhere, but now I can't find it.

  • CE Flash files always start at the beginning?

    I have had an online Continuing education course designed,
    which has the main contents embedded into .asp pages.
    The problem is that when customers "log-out", then return and
    "log in" again whithout closing thier browser, the fllash file
    always starts at the beginning, rather than where my database
    indicates.
    I "think" this is caused by the flashplayer plugin "keeping"
    the flash file in memory, and starting the "movie" again at the
    beginning? Thus if they close thier browser, deleting the flash
    file from memory, and re-starting the browser again, and "logging
    in" again, it functions correctly, beginning the flash file on the
    correct page (which is indicated in the database)
    If this IS what is happening, can this be corrected, so that
    upon "Log out" the flash file will be automatically removed,
    without the need to re-start the browser?

    I believe this will work for you. Does for me. Go to SysPref/Speech/Text to Speech. Check box of: Speak selected text when the key is press. Set key. Open the pdf and highlight what you want to hear. Hit key you set. When it's done with it's spiel highlight more text and hit key. It auto erases previous highlight. You'll see. It's not very ideal, but it's what is dealt.

  • Car Stereo use and Nano - always starts at the beginning

    when I plug my nano into my car stereo, it ALWAYS starts playing the first song by the first artist. Always. Even starts up as soon as the stereo recognizes the players.  How about resume last song?  Or not playback at all until I select something?  Is this a iPod setting?  Maybe it is the stereo setting.

    Toyota with a Pioneer GPS with audio.  I did discover that when using a classic iPod vs. a nano, the playback worked as expected.  It picks up right where it left off.  So, it's definitely the nano, but to be honest, I really don't know what generation the thing is.  I don't think it is gen 7.  It was a gift.

  • Shuffled music always starts at the beginning

    iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.6 (but the problem was there with iOS 6, too).
    When I shuffle a playlist or all songs to listen to through Bluetooth, all works well as long as I keep listening.
    If I stop listening, do other stuff with my phone, and then start listening again, the shuffled music starts at the top of the playlist again instead of picking up where it left off like it used to.
    In other words.... Say I shuffle the music, which gets ordered as follows:
    Song A
    Song B
    Song C
    Song D
    Song E
    Song F
    etc.
    It starts at playing Song A. Now, let's say I stop playing music in the middle of Song C. An hour later, I start the music again.
    The old, correct behaviour would be that the Music app starts to play with Song C.
    The more recent, annoying behaviour is that the Music app starts again at Song A.
    I don't feel like pulling my phone out of my pocket every time I get in the car just to reshuffle the music.
    I know I'm not the only person who sees this behaviour, but I have seen no answers for it. How can we correct this?

    It appears that iOS 7.1 fixed this.

  • Video doesn't start from the beginning

    Please tell me there is a setting on the iPod classic to always start a video from the beginning of the video??!?!?! I am using the iPod classic for video projection.
    E.g.: I play video #1 until, say, 3:00. I select menu and go to another video or a song, a photo, whatever. I go back to video #1 and it starts at 3:00! WHY?
    I want iPod Classic videos to ALWAYS start from the beginning.
    Please tell me there is a setting for this.
    thank you

    I have good news for you, (compared to your other post!).
    Select the video in iTunes and click on *File/Get Info* and look on the Options tab. Turn off the tick in *Remember playback position.* You can bulk select some or all your videos to do this.

  • AudioInputStream won't start from the beginning

    I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but here's a weird the situation. I have a number of audio files that I play together. Nothing complicated.
        public void playAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");

                audioFormat_3 = audioInputStream_3.getFormat();
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_1 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_1);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_2 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_2);
                DataLine.Info dataLineInfo_3 = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,audioFormat_3);
                sourceDataLine_1 = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(dataLineInfo_1);

                new PlayThread().start();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(0);
        class PlayThread extends Thread{
            byte tempBuffer_1[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_2[] = new byte[100000];
            byte tempBuffer_3[] = new byte[100000];
            @Override
            public void run(){

                    sourceDataLine_3.start();
                    int nBytesRead;
                    while(((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_1.read(tempBuffer_1,0,tempBuffer_1.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_2.read(tempBuffer_2,0,tempBuffer_2.length)) != -1) &&
                          ((nBytesRead = audioInputStream_3.read(tempBuffer_3,0,tempBuffer_3.length)) != -1) &&
                          (stopPlayback == false)) {
                        if(nBytesRead > 0){
                            sourceDataLine_1.write(tempBuffer_1, 0, nBytesRead);
                            sourceDataLine_2.write(tempBuffer_2, 0, nBytesRead);

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
        }I also have a method that combines the three audio files into one. I usually call this method after having played the files for a short time.
        public void saveAudio() {
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Interesting enough, this code doesn't seem to combine the three audio files properly. What seems to happen is that the combined file starts at the location where I stopped playing. In order to get the files to start from the very beginning, I need to re-initialize the AudioInputStream.
        public void saveAudio() {
            try{
                File soundFile_1 = new File("SoundFile1.wav");
                File soundFile_2 = new File("SoundFile2.wav");
                File soundFile_3 = new File("SoundFile3.wav");
                audioInputStream_1 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_1);
                audioInputStream_2 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_2);
                audioInputStream_3 = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile_3);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(0);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_1);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_2);
            saveList.add(audioInputStream_3);
            saveMixAIS = new MixingFloatAudioInputStream(audioFormat_1, saveList);
            File saveFile = new File("SaveMix.wav");
            try {
                AudioSystem.write(saveMixAIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, saveFile);
         } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
    } Is this normal?

    That definitely makes sense.
    I was under the impression that the AudioInputStream never loses the data it has read and that the AudioSystem.write method always starts from the beginning of this AudioInputStream. I need to stop treating the AudioInputStream like an array and instead treat it more like fresh water.Definately.
    AudioInputStream doesn't actually have anything in it...it's actually just a wrapper. Whenever you call read on it, it just reads whatever it's wrapping around, and returns the result. This is why it can contain both live data being recorded or file data or a network stream or...
    In this case, it is reading from a BinaryFile. Everytime you call read, it increments the file position... and it doesn't reset the file position when you call AudioSystem.write...

  • Playlist always starts at the begiing after turning on iPod.

    I originally posted this in the iPod classic section but thought U might get an answer here too:
    So I've had a 5.5 Pod loaded with many playlists for a year or so. I Just got my 160GB Classic, has about 100GB of music loaded now and the latest iTunes with new interface. I have several huge playlists that I play in my studio all day. So now when I stop the Pod and start again later or the next day (yes the iPod is off for a long time) , that play list always starts from the beginining and not from where I had left off.
    My old pod and the last iTunes would always start again where I had left off. Fo instance I always have shuffle turned on and if I had gone through 303 songs, the next time I turn on and start the ipod and same playlist, the 303rd song would begin-right where I left off the day before. Now it starts at the beginning, track 1 of xxxx many songs every time rather than where I was when I turned it off. What's up with this? A glitch???

    If you press Pause and power off, or play sonething else and go back, the selected playlist will start from the beginning.
    It has always been this way.
    If you press Pause and let it go to sleep itself, then press Play, it should start from where it left off.
    If the iPod goes into deep sleep, the playlist will start from the beginning.

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

  • All of my songs now last for one minute thrifty seconds. Most start at the beginning and stop at 90 seconds, a few start in the middle - but total play time is always 1:30. What's wrong?

    All of my songs , when played, now last for exactly one minute thirty seconds. Most start from the beginning and cut off at 90 seconds, some start in the middle. What's wrong?

    It appears that iOS 7.1 fixed this.

  • Imovie song does not start at the beginning after I edited the duration of the clip

    my imovie song does not start at the begining after I edited the duration of my clips. The audio clip now starts in the middle of the song. This is occuring with the second song in my video. How do I adjust the audio to start at the beginning of the song.

    For pop ups. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Select:  Block pop-up windows
    safari starts always with top page even I have apple.com as a starting window
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the General tab. You can reset your homepage from there.
    history its not saving or at least not showing when i press the thingy that looks like a little book on the tools bar
    That icon represents your Bookmarks not history.
    To view history, from your Safari menu bar click History > Show History
    Or Option + Command + 2 on your keyboard.

  • Tetris always starts with the same blocks

    Has anyone else noticed that the first game in Tetris after launching it always starts with the same blocks? For me, it always gives me the red "Z" block, the yellow square, the green "Z", orange "L", purple "T", blue straight block, blue "L", and so on. Every time. Without fail. And although my second game starts with something different, all second games always start with the same sequence too (purple "T", orange "L", yellow square, green "Z", red "Z", and so on).
    Seems to me like whoever wrote the random number generator used by Tetris did a very poor job. Hopefully EA creates a version 1.1 to fix this, and Apple makes the update available for free to people who already bought Tetris. I find it hard to believe that something so obvious made it past QC.
    PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   5G iPod 60GB

    Definitely agree about the need for a 1.1 update. The random generator and also the fact that, on my iPod at least, if I am listening to music and playing at the same time, whenever there is a change in tracks, the game locks up for a few seconds and I can't see the piece and it ends up dropping some place unexpected. This desparately needs to be fixed as many a 12th level game has been ruined because of this.

  • Music Videos Do Not Start At The Beginning

    Hi
    I have transferred about 8 music videos onto my ipod but they dont start at the beginning - they start about 30 secs into the song and i have to skip back to see the start. Is there a setting that i have missed that would solve this?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Dell   Windows XP  

    Highlight the video, do a "Get Info" (right click to see it) and under the options tab check and see if the start time is checked and set to 30 seconds. If so, deselect it to play from the beginning. Also check and see if the "remember playback position" box is checked which will start the selection at the last place you left off (useful for audio books, long podcasts, etc. Not so much for music and short videos).

  • Songs won't start at the beginning!

    Just got a brand new ipod, and am having a huge problem with songs starting in the middle of the song. Also if I play a few seconds of one song, then skip to the next, and then go back to the original song, it WILL NOT start at the beginning-keeps going to back to wherever it stopped playing! It still does this if I turn it off and back on. Nothing seems to work. Anyone know why?

    Hello msjazzer,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you made sure your tracks' Start and Stop time have not been altered within iTunes? To do this locate the tracks you are having issues with. From there, highlight them, right -> click on them and choose "Get Info" from the shortcut pop up menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab. First make sure the Start time is set to the beginning of the song and the Stop time is set to the end.
    Also make sure the "remember playback position" option is not ticked as well from under this same tab. If you make any changes hit OK and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    Otherwise, perhaps you could take a look at this Apple support document.
