IPod cutting out...why?

This has happened twice. I go on the Internet on my iPod , and after a few minutes everything completely freezes. I press the home button and power button but they don't work. The screen goes black and has lots of flashing zig zags. This lasts for a few minutes and none on my buttons work. Then after that, the screen goes completely white for a few minutes, then the whole thing shuts down and powers up. It then takes me back to my lock screen and everything seems normal. But why does this keep happening, because it only seems to be happening on the Internet, and the sites are reliable and don't carry viruses. It doesn't happen on the same website each time, but it can happen anytime I am on the Internet. I would appreciate some helpful suggestions on how to avoid this and why it keeps happening. Has anyon else experienced this problem?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod cuts out (pauses) with fm transmitter

My ipod works absolutely fine until it's connected to an fm transmitter, and then it keeps cutting out. The music pauses and you have to press play again. It does this completely randomly, sometimes works fine for twenty minutes at a time, other times cuts out twenty times a song. I have all the latest updates, I've tried powering off the ipod completely, and restoring it. I've also used several different transmitters and they all do this. Any ideas?? So frustrating!!

there are a lot of different FM trasmitters.. My choice would be a kensington or belkin.. I have both and they work well.. Before you buy one in the description of the product it should tell you what model they will work with.. just make sure it will work with your nano.. do a google search on "fm transmitter UK" Im sure you will get a ton of options.

IPod cuts out

my two year old fifth generation 8gb ipod keeps cutting out. I get about six seconds of on time before it suddenly turns off and restarts. Its fully charged and only cuts out when the bottom of the scroll wheel is moved, but to play songs i need to use said portion of the wheel.
Help is apprecitated, thanks

Having this issue in two forms:
1. iPod is playing normally, randomly it pauses (like on CD players with no seek ahead protection during bumps), and it will begin to play again after a moment.
2. iPod is playing normally, randomly the screen goes blank and the song stops playing. I hit the middle button and it starts playing again.

Ipod cutting out

Even when the hold lock is on, my i-pod keeps cutting out. It is only three months old. Any ideas?

There is another thread in iPod Lounge that covers this problem. Towards the last page at the bottom (page 7) there is a solution that we have not heard before. It is about picking at a switch at the bottom of the jack connector. If it is depressed the iPod think that the jack is out and pauses. This will create a problem if this switch is faulty, or are depressed too much even when a jack is plugged in. By trying to raise this switch a little with a safety pin or the like the problem supposedly are solved.

My ipod cut out suddenly!

earlier today i was on my ipod, and the screen suddenly went black. i tried turning it back on like normal, and when that didn't work i assumed it had run out of battery (even though it was almost full last time i checked). i charged it for about 2 hours, and when i unplugged it, it still didn't work.
i have tried everything! i have held down both buttons many times (once for over 30secs), and have held them down whilst plugged in to my computer. are there any suggestions for other things i could try?
my ipod is an ipod touch 4th generation, and i have had it for about 3-4 years. i don't know if this means that it has stopped working just because it is too old, or if something went wrong. it has never done anything like this before. help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Certain tracks keep cutting out...

Whenever a certain few songs play on the iPod, they cut off about 2/3 of the way through and the ipod does not skip to the next track. It just gets stuck. It doesn't freeze. I can hit next or back and it will go to the next track, but the song doesn't complete. The source mp3s are perfectly fine and play perfectly in iTunes.
Why does the iPod cut out? Anyone familiar with this?

Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

I have a 1st gen Airport Express and use it to stream music from my PC, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. My Airport Express is connected to a Teac UD-H01 DAC via an optical cable which is connected to an amp and speakers. I had no problems at all with this set up until I upgraded the Airport Express firmware to 7.6.3. The sound then started to drop out frequently. To cut a long story short after various testing, the problem had to be the Airport Express. I called Apple support but they were not much help and couldn't fix the problem and said they would speak to engineering and phone back. While I was waiting I decided to have another go to find the problem and opened the airport utility and saw that there was an option to downgrade the firmware. At this point I realised that the problems started about the same time that I upgraded the firmware to 7.6.3 but didn't think at the time that Apple would release a firmware that didn't work. Anyway I downgraded to 7.6.1 and hey presto, everything worked again. A couple of days ago I noticed that firmware 7.6.4 was available and thought I'd give it a go, not good - same problem as 7.6.3. I've downgraded to 7.6.1 again and all is well. Hope this helps.

My brand new iphone 5 cuts out during calls all the time, doesn't send mt text messages and then when it does it sends them twice?! why?? is it just apple or my network provider? bearing in mind my iphone 4 did exactly the same, so its a new handset sim

Hi,
i have just updated my iphone 4 16gb to an iphone 5 16gb
The iphone 4 had horrific problems, for example: Cutting out on calls, it going silent, me not being able to hear the person i was speaking to and them being able to hear me, and then visa vera.. also the main button at the bottom started to break.. my text messages weren't sending and then when they did they would send several of the same one.. also with mixed messages in them.. some of the texts had been form ages ago and had been deleted anyway and bits of them would re appear in the middle of the text, but only show to the person recieveing the text.
I thought all of this might have been some water damage as i had nearly had it for 2 years... However on Tuesday.. ( 29th Jan) i recieved my new upgrade of the iphone 5.. i was so excited, but then today.. 2 days after recieving it, its starting to do EXACTLY the same things my old phone did... cutting me off, going quiet on the phone, not sending texts, then sending several ones... sending mixed texts. Safe to say i am fuming!!! i am with vodafone and rang them today asking why?! they said it couldnt be my handset as its a new one, couldnt be the sim because thats new too so it must be the area signal.. so she checked for me.. came back to me and said that the signal in my area is perfectly fine....?!?!?! that makes it even worse!!! so i have asked to return it....!! i was going to go with a different provider thinking that it was vodafone??but after looking on here it seems like its apple? i am very disappointed as i love everything else about the phone, but its impossible to have a phone like this! especially when i use it for work too!

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
Regards.

Why does my facetime audio cut out?

When I am facetiming with mac laptops running snow leapord after a period of time, the audio cuts out.
What causes this and how to prevent it? It is very annoying.
They can hear me but the audio from them is mute.

If the iPod plays fine after you start the car, then most likely its fine and normal. If it doesn't, try contacting your dealer.

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?!@

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?

Playing rentals, Netflix, from local iTunes, other?
Firstly restart router and AppleTv after unpowering to see if that helps - may or may not but quick and easy to try.
Connection via ethernet or wifi? If wifi are there any new devices in the house which may be causing interference or new neighbouring networks? If feasible try to eliminate wifi issues by using an ethernet connection.

IPod continues to cut-out while playing

I've posted this before, and I've seen other threads regarding this issue -- my iPod randomly stops playing songs and goes back to the main iPhone menu.
I was, unfortunately, forced to reload my iPhone last weekend because the world clocks did not work. After I reloaded, I found that this cutting-out issue stopped. Yay!
However, last night I added new songs (some from iTunes store, others from various CDs). iTunes found some of the album art for me, a few of them I had to add the art manually.
Today, I'm having the music cutting-out issue again. It has happened 6x so far (since about 9:00AM - so 3 hours). 4 of those times I was doing nothing to the iPhone, it was just sitting on my desk next to me. 1 time it happened when I was adjusting the volume and the other time it happened when I was changing the view so I could view album art (turning the iPhone sideways).
I've already turned my iPhone off and back on, hoping this problem would go away (it didn't). Please don't tell me that I have to reload my iPhone every single time I add new songs to my library.
Has there been any "official" response to this issue? Does anyone know when we're getting a patch for iTunes?
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this problem. My husband is experiencing the same issue, though he doesn't use his iPod nearly as much as I do. We spent $1,300 -- can we not get the basic functionality, at least?

My ipod video sound cuts out after 30 sec

I play my movie and the sound cuts out after a while and then it only plays the video with no sound. It's not the video because it works fine on my computer and all the other videos are doing the same thing. I found if I rewind or fast foreward the sound comes back but only for a little while and the sound cuts out again.

This happens with the current firmware 1.1 upgrade on the iPod. You can downgrade the firmware to 1.0 and this will solve that problem. Doing it this way you won't have to restore the iPod which will erase it. If you can't do this then you can restore the iPod using the previous updater.

The other option is to use QT Pro which will work to correct the problem:
