IPod pauses every 10-20 seconds whenever it's not on dock

So, my ipod is about a year and a half old; video 30g. Whenever i'm in my car listening to my ipod, or just listening to my ipod with headphones, it randomly pauses in the middle of the song. it's not frozen; i can just press play and it starts up again, but 20 seconds later it pauses again. i thought it was because mine's a harddrive, but my friend's ipod nano does the same thing. can anyone freakin help me, it's really annoying.

Well, it sounds as if space is not a concern, however finding a corrupt song can be an issue. Generally, the 5 r's are the method for troubleshooting an iPod, and Restore is one of them. If all of the music is in your library, then a restore should not be an issue, and that would ensure that the iPod is clean. Have you installed any new music lately? That could be where the bad song came from. Otherwise, I believe there is a way to check the library, but I need to check that out myself before I tell you how. I can't remember and don't have iTunes on this computer, since I'm using my work laptop right now. Try this an see, and let me know.

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.

Mouse pauses every 2.5 seconds

Got a brand new 27 inch 3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac (2009). The magic mouse AND any USB mouse that I plug into it pauses at the same interval about every 2.5 seconds. It's just enough to screw up everything you are trying to do.
Tinkering with it, I have managed to figure out that it only does it when I use an external monitor plugged into the iMac...
I have an external 24 inch monitor plugged into the iMac to extend my desktop. The external monitor has 2 inputs (DVI and VGA). When I have both the iMac and the 24 inch monitor set to Mac (DVI), the mouse works just fine. But when the external monitor is set on the Windows machine (VGA), the mac mouse (Magic mouse or USB mouse) pauses every 2.5 seconds. I don't know why monitor input settings would cause the mouse to pause and I haven't seen any threads with the same problem. Any ideas?

The 27-inch iMac is the first (and only) Mac to make double-use of its video port.
I think you have already shown it is somehow related to the Mini DisplayPort, and you can easily reproduce the problem on-demand. Since Mac OS X still sees the second display, even when it is switched over to the VGA input, it may not be related to the new video input capability.
As a test, what happens if you put it into the state where the pausing is going on, then disconnect the adapter on the back of the iMac. I would assume iMac would pause for a second and reset to having only its built-in display, and the ongoing pausing issue would stop. Then, reconnect the adapter (display still set to VGA with active input). The iMac should reset to having the external display. Does the pausing issue start happening again?
Here's another test. With the display set to DVI, insert the Mac OS X installation disc and restart with the C key held down. This will force start up from the optical drive. When you get to Installer, you should see the default Desktop background on the external display, and that will indicate it is being recognized and used. You should be able to move your mouse cursor onto it, although the arrangement may be different. Now, do the thing that usually causes the pausing. When you are started up from a different system, does the pausing still occur?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

When using Flash plugin in Fullscreen the video starts pausing occasionally for a second. OK when not in Fullscreen and works fine in Fullscreen with other Browsers.

I have recently upgraded to 10.0 and whenn using Flash Player in Fullscreen it behaves badly. Starts pausing frequently for aroun a second. It's annoying. When I escape fullscreen and run it within the Browser panel it's fine.. Other Browsers work fine in Full Screen Mode. Tried it with IE and Google Chrome. Firefox is my default Browser so my preferred option.

I have never heard of such a thing, but the first thing I would try is to disabled Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings).

How can I fix my iPod when Every time I watch a movie it pauses.

When ever I try to watch Percy Jackson the lightning theft on my iPod that I bought from iTunes it always pauses every 10-30 seconds.

Is the move downloaded on the iPod? It sounds like you are streaming it and the streaming/network is slow.
Try deleting and redownloading. Make sure it is fully downloaded

//Swing timer
Timer timer = new Timer(1000, new TimerListener()); //run every second
// This runs TimerListener() method every second after i call timer.start()
class TimerListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
if(whatever ur checking){
//bla blah

timer.stop();
// clean up ...

IPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second!

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.

.MP$ Video pauses every 15 seconds

I've been playing movies on my new ipod.
At the start there was an occasional pause followed by video with no audio.
Now, it will start off fine (video and audio) but will pause every 15 sec or so and continue without audio (unless I fast forward or rewind a bit). It's quite annoying when watching a movie.
It seems like something to do with the buffer. ie the buffer runs out and when re-reading the HD, will not get audio.
Has anyone expericened this before?

Are you using the new v1.1 firmware? If so, revert back to 1.0. Alot of 60GB users have experienced the same problem you're describing after upgrading the firmware. Most 30GB models seem fine, so it might be a problem of the new firmware not managing the 60GB's RAM properly (it has a different configuration than the 30GB), as the problem seems to occur when the HD spins up to cache more data.

What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

Why does my ipod keep disconnecting and connecting every half a second?

I had my iPod touch (4th gen, ios6) synced to a desktop and when I tried connecting it to my new laptop to sync it keeps connecting then disconnecting every half a second (flashing on and off) and will not connect at all. Do I need to do something with my old computer? I don't think it's something wrong with the cord because it connects to the wall just fine.

Different conductors/contacts are used for charging and dats. Thus, it still could be a bad cable.

My macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating

my macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating. I have already tried restarting

buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

Videos pause every few seconds

Hello, I was having a heck of a time

So now I can watch videos again but the problem is that they pause every few seconds.
Can anyone please help me with this problem?

IPod fills itself up with mysterious data, 100MB every 5-6 seconds continuously until empty

My iPod touch 5th generation (32GB) has enough data on it to have 18GB left over as free space. However, with a bug/misfeature in iOS, it, without the downloading of any additional data, will slowly fill itself up with about 100MB every 5-6 seconds. I can see this when I open and close the About section of the Settings and watch 17.9GB reduce to 17.8GB and having it notify me later that I have 0 bytes free on my iOS device.
This happens multiple times a day and I recently did a restore (as suggested by an Apple Support rep for another problem) and the issue still persists.
Is this problem common? If so, will I have to deal with it or is there something I can do about it?
Any answer appreciated!

The data is "Other" according to iTunes on my Mac. I actually did a test of this last month and screenshots of my usage page are below with 1 minute between each:
