IPod touch stop playing music after two songs!!

Hello,
I hope you can help me, because my problem is very frustrating. I am listening to my iPod touch, in my car through the car speakers, or through the earbuds. Once a song stops playing and the next song after it starts playing, the second song gets about 20-30 seconds into it, and then it stops. Completely stops, and I look at it and I am back at the home screen. This does not happen every-time, but I still don't know why it does this.
I also have another problem of the same type, but this has to do with the videos in YouTube. I watch a YouTube video almost all the way through, but then at the end, maybe 1 minute left or so, it stops, and goes back to the home screen.
Also, when I am on the internet, Safari, and I am listening to music while loading a page, the music stops quickly after the page starts to load and then everything gets put back to the home screen.
I know thats a lot to read, and maybe reply to, I'm sorry, but those are all my problems.
Thank you so much for your time.
-Sean

I have the exact same problem as originally reported. The song stops in the middle and then proceeds to the next song. One time I also saw the failure where I was returned to the main screen. More details follow.
My issue is 100% repeatable when it happens. As an example, I have a song I purchased on iTunes and downloaded last night. The song is 3:53 long and when I play it on my iPod Touch, while watching the "progress" bar, it consistently stops when the song reaches exactly 1 minute played. The progress bar continues silently for a few more seconds before then proceeding to the next song. This happens 100% consistently. However, if I manualy drag the progress indicator past the 1 minute mark while playing this song, the song will then play successfully until the end. I have the latest version, 1.1.2, on my iPod Touch.

  • My ipod touch stopped playing music in the middle of a song and now stops playing music. It says that it's playing a song but i don't hear anything. I've tried turning it off and on and restoring it's settings.

    So like the title (which i thought was suppose to be a question to tech support) suggests, my ipod touch has stopped playing any audio sound. I've turned it off and on and restored it to it's default settings and still nothing. If it helps, it stopped playing music a few minutes after i accidently had some water on it.

    - First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
    - The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - Try both headphones and speaker.
    - If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

  • 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.

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

    My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

    A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point.  The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge.  The initial green light shows a good charge.  The red light means the battery is drained.
    Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
    Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds.  Then, turn it back ON.  This resets the shuffle.  Does it play again?  If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again.  Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays.  Then, connect it to power and charge it to full.  See if that makes any difference.
    If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery.  If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.

    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.

  • My Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging

    my Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging. We have already restored the settings of the Ipod but it doesnor help. Please your advice.

    Yes the manufacturer (Philips) says that the device (CD player with a docking station) should work with my IPod+iOS 6.2.1; we've updated the Ipod to iOS 6.2.1.
    We've bought the device this week, so I assume the firmware is up-to-date...
    My Ipod also does not work on another device with Apple-docking station, whereas other Ipods do connect with my new Philips device. I think it is pretty clear that my Ipod is the problem?
    I think we'd best go to an Applo store?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

It is as if someone press the pause button even i am not doing anything to it.. i don't know what to do, i tried the restoration process but it still stops playing .. Please help me

    Hello all... i was having a horrible issue with my iPhone seemingly shuffling at random. So frustrating until I turned off the "shake to shuffle" option... I think most new iPods and iPhones have this feature in settings... good luck.

  • IPod Touch: Listining to music after having watched a video

    I have a Ipod Touch (32G) since last Saturday and absolutely love it. However,there is one thing that I am wondering. I use the Ipod during my commuting and sometimes I listen to music (using the shuffle option) and other times I watch video. After I have watched a video I want to continue listening to the song that was playing prior to watching the video. Unfortunately, the ipod starts all over with a different song. Does anybody know if its possible to return to the same song after having watched a video?

    Unfortunately no. At least not on the iTouch firmware version 2.x (I didn't bother checking on 3.x). This is my biggest gripe with iTouch. It can never remember which track your played after switching to the video or restarting device. My theory it remembers it as long as Audio Player application is still loaded in the RAM. But usually when you call up Video Player app it needs to free up RAM and closes down Audio Player.
    But you CAN return to the same place in the TRACK if you set it in the iTunes to remember track position. This very useful for audio books or tracks that are very long (i.e. mix compilation when album in single track).
    EDIT: I was wrong! Never was I so happy to be wrong. Looks like they did something in 3.x firmware. It now indeed remebers which trac/album you were playing! But you have do double-tap home button and it will go to the last song you played. Amazing! Thanks Apple!

  • I-Phone stopping playing music after one track

    I have a i-phone 3G and when I use the i-pod function it will play music fine until the next track and then it will stop and go back to the main i-phone screen. Anyone got any ideas why this is the case?

    Are there check marks beside all the songs in your itunes library? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other.
