IPod app in iPhone 4 skips tracks

32 GB iPhone 4 on Verizon. Sometimes, on certain albums and songs, when I click a song to play it the iPod skips the track entirely and moves on the next song. It's usually the first, second or third track on an album, and sometimes all three. It seems pretty random, and when I sync again the problem seems to go away on that album and usually reappears on a different album. It happens on music purchased in iTunes and legal CD ripped into iTunes. I am meticulous about keeping my music info correct (i.e., correct albums, track numbers, artwork, etc.). My comp is a brand new MacBook Pro (lower end) running Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?

I found the problem... it's Zone alarm 9.2.0.91.0000 and Seven SP1...
I desactivated ZA when i would like to sync and miracly... there isn't problem at 1:10-1:14 min.
With the same song, when i activate ZA, the problem appears.
conclusion : When you sync your iphone 4 desactivate ZA.

A way to normalize volume in the iPod app on iPhone?

I have a set of favorite songs in a playlist in iTunes on my PC, and in my iPod Classic. As either one is used to play the playlist, the volume of each song is reasonable in relation to the others. It doesn't surprise me, since I've been told that iTunes "normalizes" volume levels of music files as they are added to iTunes. Not sure if it adds playback information to the file in a form similar to the data tags on mp3 files or what.
Anyway, here's the problem. I synched my iPhone 3GS to iTunes so I can play this one playlist via the iPod app in iPhone. But there's one musician whose songs come out sounding twice as loud, and distorted. They don't do that in iTunes or in the iPod Classic. I poked around on the iPod app for some settings without any luck. Suggestions? I can take the original music files and create lower-volume versions, but that seems like kind of a clumsy approach.

I recently purchased an iPod Touch for a family member for a Christmas present. I would like to have it charged and ready for him to use on Christmas morning so he doesn't have to wait for it to charge. According to the instructions I need to register the iPod before it can be used. The problem is that I would need to register it under my account as we won't have a computer available on Christmas day though we will have a wireless Internet connection. My questions are, if I register the iPod under my account will my relative be able to unregister my account information when he goes home and then re-register under his own account or can he just delete my account information and enter his own account information?
No, the iPod will have to be restored to factory defaults
If he can't do that is there a way he can reset the iPod so all personal information is deleted and he can start from scratch and enter his account information?
Yes, just restore the iPod to factory defaults.
I hope these questions make sense.
Thank you to anyone who can help me with this. I would love for my relative to be able to use his new iPod Touch from the minute he opens it. Thank you and Happy Holidays to all.

Bug in iPod.app on iPhone?

Since updating to 3.0, some of my MP3 files, like "What if" from Coldplay's X&Y, start playing at around 60% of the total track time when i click begin. "What if" and "White Shadows" start at exactly 3:17 and 3:19, respectively. But the rest of the album is fine.
I even checked the "options" to see if the start time was specified there, but it's not. This album played fine on v2.x .. anyone else seeing any oddities like this?

I am unable to get my iPod app, on my 3 g iphone to work since I updated to the new software. Has anyone encountered this and is there a fix. Rebooting the iphone does not make a difference. None of the options at the bottom of the iPod screen are reacting to touch as well.
Any recommendations highly appreciated.

Podcast episode does not appear in iPod app on iPhone

My podcast feed "A Thoughtful Faith" has two episodes. Both of them download without trouble on the desktop version of iTunes, but on the iPhone after episode 1 downloads it still shows that it is available and not "Downloaded," and will not show up in iPod app. My listeners are reporting a similar problem.

LInking directly to their file is obviously the sensible thing to do. It looks as if the problem lies wieth the athoughtfulfaith.org server.
There is a test suggested in this thread to check for byte-range request ability, consisting of pasting this into Terminal:
curl -I -r 200-300 http://athoughtfulfaith.org/podcast/AThoughtfulFaith-001-GregPrince.mp3
The results, according to that thread, would seem to suggest that the server does handle them:
HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2012 21:08:02 GMT

I don't know how reliable this test is. It may be that the problem is something different, particularly as the file appears to download complete and then disappears. I can only suggest trying hosting the file on another server, or asking the people who run your server whether they can suggest anything.
As to your other question, the PubDate for the Classic episode is indeed 2 September but the URL is definitely the mormonstories.org one. In order to look at the feed, control-click or right-click on the URL:
http://athoughtfulfaith.org/podcast/atf-rss.xml
and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent. Open the file in TextEdit or any text editor to read it: search for <enclosure to find the tag containing the media file URL.

IPod app on iPhone 4 won't sort alphabetically after music transfer.

I have recently downloaded a software on my computer to remove music from my iphone. I currently don't have itunes (laptop got a virus!) and needed to remove some music from my phone. The software worked great, however when I went to check my phone to see if the music was really deleted, I noticed that the artists are no longer listed in alphabetical order. Well, I take that back. They are, if you scroll down to the middle of the C section, they start in alphabetical order. Not sure how this has happened, why it has happend or how to fix it!
The software I used to transfer the music is:
CopyTrans - downloaded from cnet. this one worked-ish but didnt delete the files off the phone, so i used another software after that called:
4Media - Ipod to PC transfer. - worked beautifully!
Below are screen shots of what my ipod app looks like (please don't hate on the music taste haha)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I need my music!

Did you restart your phone?

My iPod is locking up and skipping tracks by itself.

Lately my iPod has been skipping tracks while they are playing, as in it will be playing a song and then it will suddenly skip to the next track. It has also been either hanging up from when i switch tracks or it will completely lock up. After multiple tries I was able to restore my ipod to the factory settings, but when i go to update it it keeps locking up half way through. So now my ipod is sitting with factory settings and no songs on it. Do you think it is the hard drive? Im thinking it might be because I had dropped it recently and i think the problems had started after this. If it is the hard drive what will apple do about it? It is after the warranty.

Hello Sharon Faulk
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Nike+ ipod app on iphone 4s

Good evening everyone I have a problem I can't solve and I've tried to google many times but I can't find an answer.
I have an iphone 4s and I'm using the app Nike + ipod with sensor (it was a present). Everything's OK but the app can't sync with my account on nikeplus.com. the app can connect to the web site but once I log in... there isn't nothing, only my workouts with the other app. I think that it only works with the newest app, nike+ running.
I can't undestand why. I've tried everything but it doesn't sync anyway. I've thought the reason is that this app (Nike + ipod) works only with ipods.
Can it be possible? Is there a solution?
thank you very much

IPod apps to iPhone

I downloaded and paid for quite a few apps when I bought my iPod, now that I am switching to an iPhone do I have to purchase the apps again if I'm still using the same Apple ID?

No. You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account.

My nano won't skip tracks forward anymore?

Recently my iPod has stopped letting me skip tracks forward but the volume works and all other buttons, is there any thing that I can do to fix this?

Hi whit,
It would be easier to deal with this problem in terms of one iPod or the other. I suggest working with your nano until you get it working, and then addressing any issues that develop with the other.
So, were you ever able to use iPod Updater with the nano? That would be your first step, to try to get the nano back to factory settings so you can start again.

Ipod app smartplaylist skips tracks or just stops

On my iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) the iPod app is acting weird: I create a smartplaylist in iTunes (10.2.2 - most recent on Windows), sync and play on my phone.
Either the app skips tracks (maybe 7out of 20) or it simply stops playing ("goes down", abends)

My iPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time
every half a second. The only thing that stops it is
if you press pause but once you press play off it
goes again. This means noi music is able to be played
because it's always skipping. The menu button works
as does the backlight if you hold the menu button
down. The enter button works and the touch pad
navigation also works. Both skip buttons have no
effect on the unstoppable skipping. Can anybody help
or at least verify the problem with other users of
simular problems and if they were able to fix them
simply, without having to go to an Apple dealer (it's
out of warrenty i think)Any help would be appreciated.
---thats what happened to mine, then it stopped working altogether. liek not playing songs at ALL. i have tryed reformating it, i finally got all the settings erased, but then it woulndt 'talk' to iTunes. it has been about 2 months and im still working on it. my suggestion is send it in beore it gets as bad as mine.
good luck!

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 Music app - volume slider slides to maximum when skipping tracks.

Hi all,
Wonder whether any other customers getting this?
iPhone 5 UK iOS 7.0.2 music app - when skipping tracks (or even selecting tracks) volume slider slides to maximum volume by itself intermittently. I have noticed with EU Volume Limit 'ON' in music settings or Volume limiting 'on' this behaviour occurs. I've turned off volume limiting and now it appears to work normally.
I did restore as new iPhone via iTunes at iOS 7.0 and had this behaviour followed by update to iOS 7.0.2 via iTunes and same problem.
I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks all!

Yep - deleting anything that's not purchased on itunes when I try to play it.
This is terrible, and especially a pain when they're things like limited edition albums where tracks are only available direct, so going for iTunes match is not gonna help.
Only other variable to consider is that I installed the "Groove" app to try out a few weeks ago, and played music with it twice. Highly doubt this is related, however non-iTunes purchased tmusic tracks also show up there and now *crash the phone* when I try to play them so it's something system-wide.

Please help with my iphone 4 ipod app?

Hi everyone, I am having problems with playing podcasts and music on my iphone 4 (IOS 4.3.5 8L1). The symptom is that the podcast skips or doesn't play at all. Music is similar.
I have had the phone replaced by Apple once, and have been to the genius bar 3 times and spent hours on the phone to Apple support.
I have done DFU restores on the phone and downloaded the entire IOS update several times, the firewall, AV and ad aware all disabled on the computer (windows 7 BTW) during the download of both the IOS and subsequent podcasts.
Directly after a DFU and with no apps installed, sample podcasts (that had experienced problems) seem to be OK. I then installed the apps one at a time and tested the podcasts in between, I installed the 6 apps I find most useful. I then downloaded more podcasts and the problem returned after the ipod app on the phone "lost" some podcasts that were shown as being on the phone in iTunes. Resyncing meant that the podcasts were shown but the problem of skipping etc. had returned.
Today I went through the same process and got the same result, but with different podcasts. Similarly, the ipod app "lost" some podcasts before resyncing corrected that part but started the "skipping" fault.
Other things I have done:
The podcasts all play correctly on iTunes, and also on my iPod.
I have downloaded the entire podcast library several times to eliminate the remotest possibility that they are corrupt (this would manifest by them not playing correctly in iTunes/iPod I would imagine as well).
I have had a iPhone 3GS for a while and also an iPod, so I am familiar with the products, and never had a problem.
I have logged a case with Apple and am now at my wits end, because it seems that getting any sort of ownership is a real problem.
Any suggestions on what else I can do?
Many Thanks,
Neil

IPhone Not Remembering "Skipped" Tracks

Hardware involved: iPhone 4 & MacBook Pro i5 (2010)
I recall, back when we got our first 2G iPhones in 2007, that the iPod app had problems with remembering Last Played meta data. Consequently, when synced backed to iTunes, songs that had been listened to were not being marked as played. Eventually that issue was resolved with an iOS update.
However, I'm now having a similar problem with the "Last Skipped" criteria. When a song plays that I decide to "skip" I hit the Next / Fast Forward button (>>I) to skip to the next song. The iPhone appears not to "remember" that the song has been skipped.
As a result, once the iPhone is synced with iTunes, any Smart Playlists that rely on the "Last Skipped" criteria do not work. In fact, the most recently skipped song in iTunes is from last Sept 2010.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a suggestion on how to resolve this issue? Thanks

i just want to clarify - when you say you sync twice a day, is the second sync immediately after the first?
i was having the same issue with smart playlists based on playcount. the playlist would not auto-update on the phone, but after syncing with my computer, the playcounts would update and then my playlists would update. this aggrivated me to no end as there was no way to remember which song i listened to, and after posting on here, an extremely awesome user gave me the solution which is still working for me.
