Hi guys,
My iphone 3G's ipod keep start playing music from where left off which I really hate as I like to have my song start playing from the beginning, although I already change that to "Start playing from Beginning" in ipod setting, when it start playing tracks that left of in the middle before, it won't start from the beginningWhy?
Does anyone know how to make every tracks start playing from beginning?
Please let me know.
Thanks!

I am having a similar issue with my podcast. This is with the newly installed 2.1 software.
In my case, I listen to some portion of a podcast while driving to a place. Pause it and then when I listen to the remainder on the drive back, it starts appropriately at where I left off, but when it gets to the end of the podcast, instead of ending, it repeats from the point where I left off before in a never ending loop.

Ipad 1 upgraded to iOS 5, "play where left off" video function no longer works, and codecs aren't recognized.

for some reason after updating to iOS 5, my videos no longer play where i left off, even if i set on the settings to do so. and yes i've tried restoring again, playing video over and over. resetting the video over and over. after a while of tinkering i figured there might be something wrong with the iOS.. also the codecs say "unknown" now, weird. anyone else having these types of problems?

@bokehftw no problem.
Update:
I did my best to compare the two files i have in question. One pulled directly from my itunes library, and the other from my storage location (exact same file used to import INTO my library).
Now I admit that analyzing metadata is NOT something I claim to know how to do, but I am capable of googling some stuff and trying to figure something out.
So, unless I am missing something here, unfortunately, my findings point AWAY from the metadata thing. It seems that most of the metadata was actually stripped out of the iTunes file.
iTunes File:
Original File:
Only thing I blacked out is the name of the file in question - you will just have to trust me that it's the same exact file (except the original was used to "import" into my library and the iTunes file is literally pulled from my iTunes Media folder). Someone who is more familiar with the framework of iTunes may be able to decipher a little better - and for all I know, iTunes uses a funky way of adding it's own metadata that can't be read by third party programs (like Media Info - which is what I used).
Ah well, back to square one. If anything, I hope this gets others with more experience/knowledge involved on the subject.
And on a final note (related to the initial problem) I've also noticed that since iOS5, editing my "info" tabs on my media files (read "movie" files - not music) directly on my idevice, I've noticed it's hit or miss if it actually sticks. Prior to 5, I had no problems adding info (such as Artist, album, etc.) and having it show up that way. Now, the filename itself changes, but the additional information is now no longer shown. wierd.

Video unable to play from "Where Left off"

At Video Settings, I've already selected "Where Left Off" under "Start Playing". However, it still plays videos from the beginning always. My iPad 2 was just bought in 1 week. I've already "Reset All Settings", done "Sync" for few times, but in vain. Please share to me how it can be fixed. Thank you.

Problem is not yet fixed though the cause was identified. Videos lack "time axis" information will fail to play where it left off. Since the problem happens only in my converted videos, it is believed the video converter that i used is not able to retain the time axis mark in the converted video. Therefore you may try to change to another video converter program in converting videos for your iPhone/iPad. Let me know if it works.

How to set Music to start where left off?

It seems when you start up Music, it always reverts to Radio. Is there a way to set it to "resume where left off" or set it to another section such as Playlist, Album, etc?
Thanks!

When first started the Music App starts with the left-most tab active. If you select a different tab Music will stay in that mode until it is terminated. Note that you can reorder the tabs. To do this select More and then select Edit and rearrange the Tabs.

Where left off video setting not working in ios 7

Since upgrading to ios 7 the 'Where left off' stting on the Video is not working. I have turned it off/on and it is ticked. Every time I switch off the iPad 2 and then turn it on again the last video played place is not remembered - it always resets at the beginning. This happens on my iPhone 4s as well as that is at ios 7 now as well. Both devices were OK with remembering the video place before upgrading.
The videos are produced from Handbrake and not store purchases but I dont have any store purchases to try it out.
Anyone else seeing this (or not)
Paul

I have this problem too since IOS7, except I don't have to switch my ipad off, I simply have to have not watched a video for a bit and when I switch back to the vid app it forgets all over again. VLC looks to be the much better app

Safari restoring where left off

Is there a way to stop Safari from opening back up the page where left off when Safari was closed? I want it to go to my home page when I open it back up, not back to where it was when I closed Safari.

Figured this out, it's in the Preferences under the general tab.

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

Start where left off

I just got my Ipod. 5th generation 30 GB. The only thing I have not been able to figure out or find in the help files is how to start up the Ipod where I left off the previous day. Please help.
Thank you kindly

While I forget the exact details, the iPod will pick up where it left off if woken up within a certain amount of time. If it is asleep for a long time, like a full day, it goes into essentially an off state requiring more of a full restart rather than waking up.
Where is that info.... here it is...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60945
So after 14 hours it is supposed to go into Hibernation and will wake from hibernation to the same state as when it went into hibernation.
However my own experience tends to mirror yours where after a day, it starts up at the main menu like you rebooted it, not at the last song in a playlist you were playing.

IPod suddenly starts playing after being inactive for some time

After using my iPod I press the play/pause button and keep it pressed for some seconds to turn the iPod off.
Some hours later -I don't know exactly how long since this usually occurs overnight- the iPod starts playing music!!!
Am I missing something when turning the iPod off?
Does someone have the same problem?
If so, have you been able to fix it?

Is this happening all the time? because i sort of had the same problem..for some unknown reason to me, my iPod kept turning on every morning, and i couldn't find out why. Then i realised i had set the alarm thing on my iPod to 9am every morning, months ago! it could be your alarm setting, otherwise i have no idea! hope i helped!

IPod automatically starts playing...

I've recently noticed that my iPod will automatically start playing at random points throughout the day. When it fires up, it always starts and plays the same cd...Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath." It will play the disc all the way through, then shut down.
My iPod will be totally charged, but because of this automatic startup, the battery will be drained in a matter of hours.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how was the problem solved?
iPod 20 GB Windows XP

First thing to check would be to see if you have an alarm set.
To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

Games not continuing where left off

So I got my new verizon iPhone about a week ago, and so far I love it. But I've had one problem...my games aren't picking up from where I left off. This is happening particularly with Plants vs Zombies and NBA Jam.
Examples: I'll beat levels 4-1 and 4-2 of PvZ. Then I hit the home button, check something, lock the screen and go about my day. The next time I go to play it pops up as paused in the middle of 4-1.
Same thing with NBA Jam. I'll play a couple games, hit the home button, go about my day, and when I come back to it it's paused in the third quarter of the first game I played.
I'm not syncing to iTunes, turning off the phone or closing out of things in the multitasking bar. I just put the phone in my pocket, and when I come back to it it's not where I left off.
It's a brand new phone, only a week old. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with it. All apps are up to date, software is up to date and no one else I know seems to have this problem.
If anyone knows what's going on, please tell me!

Are you sure that "Media Kind" is set to Podcast and "Remember playback position" is checked in the Options pane of the Get Info window?

IPod keeps turning itself on and off after attempted update

I attempted to update my iPod touch 4 from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1 but now my iPod keeps shutting itself off and turning itself on.

- Try a reset:
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.
- Then try to restore the iPod.
- If you could not restore and it is still turning on and of and on and off...let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

Ipod keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until battery goes dead

please help.....my ipod just keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly until the battery goes dead. The only thing that will show up on the screen is the apple logo and then it will power cycle over and over and over! I have tried reseting it but I am limited to what I can do because the computer will not recognize the ipod when i connest it to my computer.

Take it to your local Apple Store

IPod keeps turning itself on and off but wont start

My iPod has been turning itself on, but before it's past the screen with the apple it turns itself back off and it will repeat doing that until the battery runs low then it will sit on the battery screen for a few minutes. After it gets some juice it starts back up with this crap. I figured it wasnt the battery because it was almostly completly fully charged when it started happening. It was when I was charging it, and when I was done I removed it from the computer properly; pushed the button to start it up and its been doing this disturbing ritual since. Ive tried every thats been suggested on this site, and I'd love to restore it, but iTunes doesnt reconize it. I've been trying to fix it for hours working with both the iPod and Windows but nothing seems to have any affect on it. I am afraid I'm going to have to replace the entire thing.
If anybody knows anything that might help, please, I'll take any form of it ya got.

I posted something earlier this week and i realized we have the exact same problem!!!! Sorry, but the bad news is that restore won't work!!! I put it on disk mode so the computer finally recognized it. It also charges on disk mode. I charged it for over an hour. But after i tried restore, it went back its old routine! Now I'm starting to charge it on normal mode for four hours, just in case. Have you tried the 'drain it for 24 hours' thing? I've seen it on several websites, but haven't tried it yet. SOMEONE HELP US!!!!!
