Ipod song playback issues

I have two problems with song playback. When using headphones, some songs will play with no sound or intermitent sound. When I use the tape deck adapter, I am getting no sound on any song that is playing. Volumes are up on both the stereo and the ipod and song shows it is playing.
Has anyone run into this before?

Lauri, The "SOME SONGS" where did you get them from? Try from a bought CD or Purchased iTunes and see if there is trouble with those songs then post back. Also, check your settings in iTunes.
In iTunes click on the iTunes on the top menu then Preferences. If you know someone else who has an iPod call them and match the settings if your not sure of what to do. It is fairly self explanitary though.
I have no idea about the tape thing...are you refering to the cassette adapter for the car radio to the iPod?

Ipod touch playback issue

I have just bought a new gen 32gb ipod touch and whenever it is playing music from a radio station it stops playing if I switch off the screen or come out of the radio application, what can I do so it continues to play until I turn it off myself?

This App work fine for me. Perhaps you should update to the latest level which is 2.1.
Since you say you just bought a new iPod presumably you are running on iOS 4?

Video Playback issues with Ipod and Itunes

OK I just bought some episodes of a TV show last night, and I put them on my ipod(5th gen. 30GB). About halfway-sometimes 2/3-of the way through, the video stops playing, no audio, no movement, just stops like it is paused. I deleted them off my ipod, made sure my ipod was up to date, and put them back on. Problems still there. Then i went to watch them in Itunes, and in the same places they freeze again. Itunes is up to date too.So now i have these videos that i paid for, that don't work completely on either my Ipod nor on Itunes. Help Please?

the good news is that you have pretty much isolated the issue. if the videos don't play completely on either the ipod or itunes, then the videos or tv shows are possibly corrupted. what you can do is contact the itunes store via a web form ( click here to go to form and scroll to the bottom)
tell the itunes store your tv shows have playback issues and say the same thing you posted. the itunes store should allow you to re-download the tv shows.

Zen - AAC: Playback issue with long songs (± 15 min.)

Hi,
I made some tests with AAC Itunes plus files, and I've experiencing playback issue with long songs (when it's about 5 minutes or longer, like the second movement of Beethoven's third).
During?playback, there is random artifacts added, never at the same place.
I cleaned up my Zen 6 Gb and even formated it, and the problem still occurs. The latest firmware is installed.
Is this issue has already been reported?
Thanks.

The Zen does in fact support AAC playback, but it's tricky--I've been dealing with this issue for a while, and I think it's finally solved. First of all, when you say "skipping," do you mean that the track skips ahead further into the same track, or does it skip to the next song with an error message like "There was an error with the audio file"? My problem was with the latter. There are a few possible solutions:
. Delete the erroneous track from your Zen, then re-transfer; in my experience, this corrects the problem, although sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
2. Make sure your AAC file is in iTunes Plus format (you can choose it in the ripping options in iTunes).
3. If you haven't already done so, upgrade to Windows 7. This means upgrading to WMP2, which recognizes AAC files and can transfer them to your Zen. It also means you can download a version of Creative Centrale (from the Creative Support site) specifically for the Zen, which replaces the Zen Media Explorer and Creative Mediasource, and which seems to handle AAC transfers much better (so far, I haven't noticed any of the playback errors, but you never know!). By the way, WMP2 and Creative Centrale will also transfer album art easily to the Zen.
Hope this is helpful.

IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?
Thanks

My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

Weird Playback Issue...

I have this weird playback issue with iTunes for Windows. I am using Vista and I think the cause of the problem is that I am using MacDrive to access my OS X partition. But anyways, on with the problem. So the problem is that when I play a song, the song will play for like 5 seconds and then it will just go the next song. This song will do the same thing, and so-on and so-forth. Then, during this time, my Mac formatted hard drive is unavailable while iTunes is running. In "My Computer" the drive is there, but when I try to open it, Explorer freezes. Then, when I exit iTunes, it doesn't really exit. It still shows up in the task manager and when I try to end the process, it just plain doesn't end. I have to restart my computer to gain full use of it again. After the restart I can access my Mac disks, but once I start iTunes and try to play a song, I get the same thing again. And in case thats not weird enough, I can play the MP3's in WMP fine, and they will also play in iTunes fine if I actually open them, rather than just select them from my library. If I go to file open and select a song on my Mac drive, it will play fine, but then once I try to play a song from my library, I get caught in that vicious cycle. Anyone else had this problem or anything? Thanks. Also, is there an alternative program to Mac Drive that will allow me to read HFS partitions?

Post more about your situation... what format is the video, and where are you storing the video files? i.e., on a disk other than your startup disk? The adobe install is likely not the problem... I run adobe software along side FCS on about 75 workstations, and don't see issues like you describe.
Wavy? not accurate? what are you talking about?

How do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?

how do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?
i stil have my old computer. but i have 500 songs. so i dont want to burn them onto cds then upload them. is there a way to transfer the songs from the ipod to my new computer?
dell demension 9100 Windows XP

Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

My iPod songs are automatically wiped out again!! GRRR..

My iPod songs are gone. How can I have have them back without having to upload songs again?
This is the second time it happened. My iPod still had 60.9 MB space in it before my songs disappeared.
When I plugged my iPod into the PC today, it was charging. Then a few minutes later, the iPod (still plugged into the PC) started beeping. At first I don't know where the beep was coming from. When I finally realized it came from my iPod, it was too late to check what message it says on the screen. And when I open the iTunes, it prompts me to fill up the iPod Set-Up Assistant (which means that I have to start all over again transferring songs to my iPod? No way.). I can't find the songs in my iPod anymore. All of them have been wiped out now.
The weird thing is, even with all the songs wiped out, iTunes still says that I only have 60.9 MB of memory in my iPod. It seems that the songs are still there but won't just show up. Because they still occupy the memory of my iPod. My Notes are still in the device, I can also access the files stored in the External Memory.
The first time it happened, I did a Restore and had to download the songs from the Internet again. Now that I don't have the music files in my PC anymore, I don't want to do a Restore because I don't want to download songs again.
Please help me fix this.

1.If you are using some kind of file sharing program to put songs on your ipod,this might be the problem.I had a similar situation.If you delete some songs from your file-sharing program itunes wont be able to find the songs and wont play song(just on itunes),ir that the host of the song might've deleted the song himself from other to share.
2.Make sure your itunes is up-to date,or you ipod is having hardware issues(this might be the cause if you dont use a file-sharing program).You need to put you ipod on disk mode.For more info. go on support.
3.This step can maybe work,but i know it wont.just blow the usb cord just to make sure it is not dusty.
4.This might also be why your songs get wiped out.You probably need a new usb cord,but first try every way you can to fix this issue before buying a new usb cord.also depends how old your usb cord is.

How to fix stuttering song playback?

Over the past week, I began experiencing stuttering song playback in iTunes. I tried to lower the sound enhancement settings to no avail. Please help. System: XP Home, 32 bit.
Note: Am using iTunes 10.7 because I had problems with missing tracks and error messages in the most recent version of iTunes. Haven't had any other problems since the downgrade.

Hello Ayanna R
Verify that you have done some of the other steps in the article below to resolve issues with audio playback. The only other advice I can give is updating iTunes.

Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S & iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
Thanks.

Ipod songs don't show up on my work computer

I have 60gb ipod I bought last month. I put a bunch of music on it on my home computer, and wanted to add songs to it at work. When I connect the ipod to my work comp., it doesn't find any of the songs on there, despite my manual update setting. Any idea how to access the songs (they are on the ipod when i unplug it, so they're not gone)?
Both comps are using XP

Automatic syncing is controlled (set up by the user) using the iPod's Music tab. Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right (near the top), there is a row of "tabs" (they look like buttons in the latest iTunes), that starts with Summary. Click on Music there.
Make sure Sync Music is checked. Below that, you tell iTunes how you want your iPod synced with music. If your entire iTunes music library will fit on the iPod, you can select Entire music library. Then, any change to your library (such as purchasing new songs from the iTunes Store) should automatically sync to the iPod.
Otherwise, if the entire library will not fit or you don't want to fill up the iPod with only songs, you need to set up syncing based on Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that setting, set up the rest of the Music tab to tell iTunes what playlists, artists, albums, or genres to sync. Only the songs included in your selection will sync to the iPod, so if you purchased new songs, they will not sync to the iPod unless thay are included in the selection on the Music tab.
One easy way to set it up is to create a new playlist in iTunes, and call it something like "iPod songs." From your music library, add ALL the songs you want on the iPod to this playlist (including those new songs). On the iPod's Music tab, select this playlist for syncing. Going forward, any change you make to this playlist (adding or removing songs) will sync to the iPod automatically when it is connected and you tell it to Sync.
You can also set up the other tabs, such as Movies and Podcasts (and Apps for an iPod touch), to set up syncing for those other categories of media. Just make sure the total size of the selection is less than the capacity of the iPod (shown on the "bar" near the bottom).
All of the above has not changed for the latest version if iTunes. It works the same as before...

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.
