Ipod "Freeze" itself during play

when im at the gym running on the treadmil i've noticed listening to a few albums the ipod will randomly stop during a song, and i find that sometimes if i just turn the headphones (the bit connected to ipod) a lil bit, it starts playing again, or if i pull them halfway out and push back in again, the song somehow starts resuming from where it was. However now i tend to have to keep resetting the ipod, which while running at 10.5km/hour, isnt an easy thing to do and is getting a bit frustrating! Anyidea what is causing it? is it the bad state of the headphones that are somehow damaged in someway that they could cause this?

it might be but this is the apple headphones not third party ones. And they have been through abit of wear and tare over the past year. But i presumed that (atleast was the case with my previous ipod) If the headphones came out, it auto paused and even if u pushed them back in you had to press play manually for the music to resume.. so maybe this is different or just that with my colour/5th gen that it plays auto once reconnected?

How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

Ipod resets/freezes randomly during play

I have a green ipod nano, 4gb.
It constantly resets or freezes during play. I have tried the 5 r's and they did not work.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks.

Yes, get it serviced.

Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

My iPod freezes when I play certain songs

Hello,
I`ve had this problem for some time now. When I try to play certain songs on my (G1) iPod, it just freezes, and I have to reset it to make it work again. The strange thing is that this problem only occures with some of the songs, not all, and it´s the same songs every time that causes this problem.
I´ve tried full resets several times, updating the software on the iPod, and tried using both a PC and a Mac to transfer songs, with different iTunes versions, but the problem endures...
What´s even more "strange" is that even though I now use a Mac, and have imported all my songs all over again to this machine, almost the same songs that caused trouble before I changed computers are still causing trouble!
This tells me (even though I´m not a techie) that there is a HD problem on my iPod...
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Video/film conversion freezing problem during play...

hiya
i was wondering can anyone help me. i have been trying to transfer films to my n97mini using the ovi package. it seems to convert ok and transfer but when i try to play the films on my phone they all seem to freeze at the 25min to 27min mark during playback, but the sound keeps playing.
thanks in advance for any help.

Hi I have experienced the same video playback freezing problem. This occurred after installing the latest phone os upgrade (N97) . Before this I had no video freeze problems but many memory related issues. In my view what has happened is that memory that was prevoiusly allocatedto video support has been reassigned to address the other memory related issues.. I have also tried to use the video conversion software contained within the PC Suite software and although the video gets converted and copied onto the phone successfully, the video does not work. I dont believe this is a codecs issue as this should be sorted out by the converter utility.. Can you please fix this as soon as possible and issue another os upgrade, preferably one that works on Windows Vista!

30 GB iPod, Freezes whenever I play video

I've played video on my iPod flawlessly for the last year, but now it freezes up whenever I try to play video. It plays music fine, and I've restarted, reinstalled, ect. Anyone have any ideas?

I have had the same issue for months and now it seems the only way I can play videos is to create them in Handbrake and NOT to download them from I tunes. I posted this messae a number of weeks ago:
I have a 60 GB 5th Generation IPod. Downloaded Season 5 of 24 from ITunes Store and was unable to load them on Ipod unless I updated to Software Version 1.2.1. Did that. Loaded videos.
Go to play the first episode and it freezes. Needs to be restarted. Freezes again in the same place. Can fast forward past the place that it freezes and let it play. Freezes again...in a new place..and will continue to freeze in the same places. Restored to earlier verion of software but would not let me load the downloaded videos. Restored to 1.2.1 and only loaded a few episodes (wipe my IPod clean of everything else.) Still same problem.
By the way, the same files play fine on my computer (not my Ipod), just fine.
I downloaded and PAY for a new file of Season 5 Episode 1 and guess what...it freezes at the exact same place. Try to tell Apple that there is a problem with my file and they tell me they are sorry that I am having trouble with my file but to check the online forums. So I did...and guess what..
LOTS of people are having trouble with ITunes and video files freezing on 5th Generation IPods.... so whats the deal? I can't go back to previous versions of the software and I have $ 40 worth of downloads that don't play..
Will Apple admit there is a problem or is there a fix here that I'm missing?

Ipod dismount itself during update?

When i connect my ipod nano to my pc itunes pops up and starts syncing then my ipod suddenly disconnects itself which its still syncing, iv had this problem since i got thie ipod and so have not been able to use it, can anyonen help me please?

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.

IPod occasionally pauses during play for no reason

Anyone know why my 80G classic should develop this annoying intermittent habit? It just pauses a track randomly which is easily but annoyingly fixed by pressing play. It even does it when the lock is on!

The iPod will pause if the headphones are removed. Or, if the iPod thinks the headphones have been removed! Is the headphone jack loose? Have you tried another pair of headphones/earbuds?

IPod "removing" itself during syncs

Does anyone else's iPod do this?
When I sync it to my Mac, it will usually take 2-3 cycles of "updating iPod" then "Device removed was not properly put away" then starting over with "updating iPod".
All this while I am not touching computer, cable, or iPod. It seems to lose the connection during the sync without my doing anything, and I've had to "restore" it about once a month.
It otherwise does not behave like it has a hard drive problem--it is flawless in playback, and only misbehaves during sync.

I am having the same problem but you are the only other person I have come across who is experiencing it to. I have a new 5g 30gb ipod and every time I plug it into my Mac I get 'updating ipod' followed by 'Device removed was not away properly' again without touching the dock, wire or keyboard. When I initially setup the ipod I got an 'unknown' error message which may have something to do with it, but I have restored factory settings since then and haven't had the message again. I have also since been able to add my entire itunes library to the ipod. If I click on the itunes library while I have the ipod connected it crashes itunes and it will not let me set some of the other preferences like Ical syncing. Help!! I previously had a 3g ipod and didn't have any major issues with it in 4 years!

Video ipod turning off during play

I have been having a problem when I am playing music, using my headset, the music will turn to pause. this ishappening very frequently. Although, it doesnt occur when I have it docked and am playing it?? help anyone??

Make sure your scroll wheel is clean and is not being pressed... test it by locking hold and then seeing if you still have the same problem. If it still persists, do a reset. If you still have your problem do a restore.

My ipod freezes randomly while play

So if i'm playing my ipod- it will just stop playing- it show's that its still playing- the status bar on the song is still moving, volume up and no sound :(- and then if you try to scroll forward- you can - but the album covers are all garbled and unrecognizable. You can't get any other dong to play- I"ve had to reset it several times. Which is a big pain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated- oh and i have current software

Zen Micro Freezes during play and sometimes won't turn on at

I have been having some issues with my micro and wondered if anyone could help. I didn't drop it or do anything I can recall to cause these issues, it just seemed to start out of the blue. 2 things are happening. Sometimes it will freeze during play and "buzz" (it's really just transmitting a countinuous sound of a millisecond of what it was playing like if the guy was saying apple, and it freezes when he starts to say it it will sound like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" but in a completely illegible buzz way). Second, it will sometimes not turn on at all, no creative logo, no lights, no nothing. Once I take out the battery and replace it, it will always then start no problem. The battery does not seem to be loose at all as the above mentioned buzzin will not stop until I remove the battery, and as I have repeatedly removed the back of the micro during these buzz session?the battery remains firmly seated and the buzzing continues until I remove it. So far I have updated the firmware to 2.2.02 (which I believe reformatted) which didn't stop it from freezing up during play, and just now did a disk clean up (which I can't imagine will have any change?if a complete format didn't). I haven't had the start up problem since the firmware update, but I haven't turned it on and off that many times yet. Any ideas? Sorry to be so verbose but I wanted to explain as best as I could what's wrong, and what I've done so far.

Remove SIM and miniSD card first. Try to boot.
The try hooking it up to the PC again. And see if you might be able to redo the update process.
You can also try a hard reset. As described in a different tread. (Or read below).
Othervise, I afraid you will have to take it to a Service Center.
-- Quote from djassa1 (Re: N80 won't start up!)--
Just reset to factory default.
You will need your 2 hands to do that: While the phone is off press and hold the [Green call Button] + [3 digit button] + [* button] and power on and hold the powwer button. Do that until the phone asks you for the local city reference.

Best of luck!

Qt freezes during play... constantly

I upgraded to QT 7 and bought Pro, and ever since the image freezes often during play. I have to restart or redownload the movie to get it unstuck; sometimes changing Views (small to full screen) will nudge it. 10.3.9. This happens on both of my computers: dual g5, and ibook.

QuickTime Player is designed to drop frames if the viewing machine can't process the data fast enough.
A two minute file that is 2.8 GB's in file size suggests a data rate that would exceed the playback abilities of nearly any modern machine.

My iPod 160GB classic keeps freezing during play.
