IPod keeps pausing for no reason

My iPod keeps pausing during a song for no apparent reason. is this related to my earphones? They are plugged in. Perhaps the headphone jack?

this is one of two problems:
1) your headphones are causing the ipods headphone jack to think that the headphones are out, therefore pausing.
2)there is a defective part in your ipod's headphone jack.
i would try using somebody elses earphones for a while to see if it is your earphones that are causing the problem.

HELP! iPod Shuffle Pauses for no reason!

Ive had my iPod shuffle around 6 months and around a week ago it randomly started pausing frequently half way through songs without my command. It just suddenly has outbursts of pausing and keeps pausing and as soon as I press play it pauses again until finally i give up and switch it off.
Ive tried updating it and charging it fully but no luck.
Anyone know whats wrong? Is the battery dying?
Please Help.
iPod Shuffle

It might be a dirty headphone socket. The iPod shuffle will enter pause if it detects that the headphone plug has been removed and I suspect that if the contacts becomes defective or dirty it could cause symptoms like you describe.
I'd try a series of rapid insertions and removals of the headphone plug to see if that might clean the switch or contacts. Also, I'm pretty certain that earlier versions of the shuffle firmware didn't have this headphone auto pause feature so if you could find a copy of the old firmware that might fix your problem.

Music keeps pausing for no reason...

Hi all,
My iPod Shuffle is acting really strangely. Whenever I start listening to a track, after about 30 seconds, it just pauses. No reason, no touching of any button... it just stops.
I press play again and it picks up from where I left off.
I've just restored the device and re-synced, but it's still happening. Do you think the device itself is messed up and I'll need a new one? Don't really know what else to do.

I've been experiencing the same problem, and I am using third party speakers.
Is this a known problem?

My ipod keeps pausing by its self

my ipod keeps pausing by its self and i cant get it to stop. It usually does it when i am walking with it or if i change the volume but it will just play normally if i leave it alone. I dont know what to do to fix it and it is starting to get annoying because when i change to a diffrent song it will keep pausing by its self.

It might be, for some reason, that your iPod is just really, really sensitive to movement. I noticed that in an earlier post you mentioned that if you just leave the iPod alone, it plays fine, but when you're moving with it, it pauses.
I do have one question for you, though. When you say your iPod "pauses" does the symbol on the screen physically change from the triangle (play) to the double lines (pause) or does the music just sort of hang?
Try this:
Create a playlist (either an on-the-go playlist on the iPod, or a playlist in iTunes and then update it to the iPod).
Set the iPod down on a table, select the newly created playlist, and press play. Let the first song of the playlist play for about 30-45 seconds, and then try to pick up the iPod and walk with it. See if it still skips as much.
Also - What kind of iPod is it? Is it every song that does this, or is it a handful of specific songs that cause the problem?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

Pausing for no reason

I have a new ipod nano and just started using it with a JBL brand external speaker system. Sometimes it will pause for no reason. I can manually get it to start again by using the ipod controls or the remote that came with the speakers. Usually after a few minutes, if left alone, it will come back to life on its own and start playing wherever it left off. If I do pause it myself, it will usually start playing again on its own after a few minutes, meaning that sometimes it's really hard to turn it off for good.
I thought the cat was messing with the remote at first, but the last few times I watched it happen without anyone touching anything. I tried resetting the ipod, but I haven't noticed any changes. Any ideas?

Since your issue started when you started the JBL system, contact their customer support department.

Hello Nazer_502,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way. It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!!

My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!! I have verified the version is up to date and never had this problem before. I deleted all of my other projects. Don't know how to fix this but it's driving me nuts and the program keeps closing out of nowhere!! How do I fix this??

Hi
No Quick Fix - only my Trouble shooting notes
Trouble-shooting guide
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
First try: Start iMovie - BUT keep - Shift-key down during full Up-Start - might help.
Pref and Cache files:
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext. HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTED as DOS etc.)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc. - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort:
Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

TS1702 iBooks keeps quitting for no reason

iBooks keeps quitting for no reason. So tedious, so fed up with the app.

You might have a corrupt PDF file in iBooks, a corrupted book download, the app itself might be corrupt.....have you tried deleting the app and reinstall it? You can download your books again from the purchased tab of the iBooks app. If you sync with iTunes, you can sync all of your books back to the iPad after you delete the app and reinstall it.
In the meantime, you might want to just try quitting the app, reboot the iPad and then see how the app behaves.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iBooks app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Phone keeps rebooting for no reason

I just replaced the battery in my Curve 8530 and it keeps rebooting for no reason at all. Any suggestions/resolutions?

Hey daVadar,
Have you tried removing and inserting the battery ? i would suggest trying to back up and complete a clean reload of the device software and test before restoring your backup: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
