IPod randomly stops playing?

Sometimes, if I am listening to music while using Safari for example, the iPod will stop playing at random and sometimes stops playing and brings me to the menu screen at random.

I have this issue with mobile Safari too. It tends to happen to me while playing a large track, for example a 4 or 5 hour MP3 of a speech, rather than typical ~4 minute songs.
A workaround for me is to pause my Safari activities every 10 minutes or so to bring up the "now playing" iPod screen for about 20 seconds, then back to Safari for another 10 minutes. This method is annoying but ensures uninterrupted iPod playback while multitasking.

  • IPod Randomly Stops Playing Songs

    Hi, Some songs on my iPod Touch running version 3.1.2, (mostly songs that I downloaded a long time ago) stop playing abruptly about 30 seconds before the song is over. The iPod says that the song is playing, but no audio is coming out. It is very annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or had found a solution. Thank you for helping me.
    P.S. The songs play fine on my 4th generation iPod, (A.K.A. the "iPod Click Wheel") so I know the files are not corrupt.

    No, I don't. Even if I did, that would not explain why no audio comes out of the speakers / headphones.

  • Everytime i am using the internet the ipod randomly stops playing

    anyone had this problem? any solution?

    Just a bump ... i had the same problem, iPod turned off when I browsed for a few minutes. I did the reset and it seems to work fine now. I also had an issue where the battery wasnt taking a full charge, showed 80% for over 5 hrs charging. That problem was fixed as well by a reset.
    FWIW...
    Ok, it got so bad, anything I was trying to use was
    randomly bringing me instantly back to the home area.
    So I turned it off and on (I held the home button
    while turning off, but wasn't sure it did anything).
    When it came back up it was functioning normally
    again...

  • Why does my ipod touch (2nd Gen) 32G randomly stop playing while at the same time the volume control slider dissappears?

    It randomly stops playing after as little as 7 seconds and as much as 2 minutes.   To resolve the problem I began removing and reinserting headphone jack.  This sometimes rectified the issue, but inevitably it would stop playing again.  I have blown air into the headphone jack receptical and powered down the product but neither action has permanently corrected the problem. 
    It has been a couple of months since it was last restored.
    Any thought on why this has just started to happen.  Does it need to be repaired by Apple?  The item was purchased in Sept 2009.

    It is possible you have a faulty lock/power button. One of my friends iPods did this. See if a faulty lock/power button is covered by your warranty if you don't have a warranty you might have to pay a pretty penny to get it fixed. When the screen flashes does it go black and come back at the lockscreen? If so it is very much the lock/power button.

  • Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

    My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
    the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
    i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
    please help out a soldier in need?

    mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

  • HLS encryption VOD randomly stop playing on IOS

    We have 4 AMS servers load balanced (DNS) with identical application on each. RTMPe is playing fine from flash desktops, however, HLSe on IOS devices randomly stops playing part way through the content. I do not see any relevant errors in AMS/Apache. The front end player shows the following errors when the content stops playing:
    "CoreMediaErrorDomain" "No response for media file in 0.49632s"
    "CoreMediaErrorDomain" "Segment exceeds specified bandwidth for variant"
    Similar issues discussed here: http://openradar.io/15060374 (thought not AMS specific).
    This could be a player issue. It seems to randomly have issues grabbing an HLS segment. Has anyone else had any similar issues?

    I just wanted to add an update in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.  I seem to have found a solution to the problem.  Here's what I did:
    1) Plugged in to my computer and removed all music from my iPod (just unselected "sync music" then allowed the iPod to sync).
    2) In iTunes, under the summary tab of my iPod, I selected "convert higher bit rate songs to 256 kbps AAC" in the options section.
    3) I synced my iPod.  This took a REALLY long time, as I have just over 52GB of music that I chose to put on my iPod.  This is 52GB AFTER the conversion to 256kbps.  Anyway, it took a couple hours to sync the first time because it had to convert almost every song.  After the first sync, it doesn't take long to sync unless I add a lot of songs and even then, it only takes a few minutes.
    I've listened to my music on a variety of devices (in my car, different types of headphones, computer at work etc) and haven't noticed any degradation in quality, despite the fact that nearly all of the original music files on my computer are 320kbps.  I'm not sure if the problem I was having was due to the higher bitrate or the fact that the original music files are a variety of formats (aac, mp3, wav, and some others).
    I did this later in the evening after I posted the original question and have not had a problem since (about 15 days).  Skipping songs seems to go a lot faster as well.  I use my iPod a good 6-10 hours everyday, so I think that having no problems in the last 15 days is pretty good evidence that this is a good solution.
    Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that stops by here

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

    Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

  • My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

    My apple ipod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

    Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

  • ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

    iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
    Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
    9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
    I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
    with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
    policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
    When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
    work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
    an unknown domain.
    I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
    root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
    then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
    OK: Policy file accepted:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
    Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
    seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
    cause any problems, but see
    http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
    for an explanation.
    Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
    xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
    requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
    lack of policy file permissions.
    Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
    anyway.
    PS: I found the XML schema files here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
    and the socket policy schema:
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
    UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
    example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
    and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
    the IMAP server.

  • IPod Classic stops playing

    My iPod classic stops playing intermittently. I've 'restored' to factory settings, have the latest updates, and currently have only about 20Gig of music on it and it's still doing it.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. It only started doing this in the last six months and I bought it in 2009.
    thanks,
    Peaky11.

    Hi, i have a logic 3 £20 of amazon which seems to work fine, the only prob i had with it is that it kept saying battery full and i had to press play on the remote to restart the music.
    Does anyone know if the problem your talking about is with all speaker systems or just certain ones? Anyone know which ones work fine with it as im looking for a new speaker system for it.
    Thanks

  • Music randomly stops playing (same problem in multiple apps)

    Since a few days, my Z1C will randomly stop playing sound, while I'm listening music. It will do this up to multiple times per minute, seems somewhat like a online game lagging really badly, after which it will just pause.
    It does this on multiple apps (I tried it on the following
    - Spotify
    - Walkman (or whatever the music app is called now)
    - Audible (audiobooks)
    The issue happens both when I listen through my bluetooth headphones (Jaybird bluebuds x) as well as on speaker.
    I have had the phone for somewhat more than a year now, I recon. The headphone jack is broken because of my own rough handling, but that wasn't a big deal so far because I use bluetooth anyway.
    Anyone know what to do about this? 

    Hi Bmot,
    Welcome to the community.
    You could try booting the device in to safemode, at least this way you can find out if software is the suspect or if it is more likely hardware.
