Ipod v1.2 upgrade automatically starts playing songs after every sync with

Hi,
My problem is rather unique and certainly one i hadnt forseen. My iPod starts playing a 'smart playlist' i recently made with itunes 7 after every sync with the computer...the issue is that it starts after 30-40 mins of disconnection from my PC. this is very infurating since i am hardly around to check if it is playing or not. Mostly i find out about it a couple of hours after my last sync with PC. I have tried activating 'hold' button to make sure there is no outside influence however, it does this through a locked drawer!
I hope someone can help me out or include this in the next 'patch/bug fix' for iTunes/ipod

Anyone want to help at all? This is getting a little ridiculous. Honestly, with all the problems I've been having, especially with itunes, I really don't think I'm ever going to buy an apple product again.

Ipod touch is slow to start playing songs, and skip songs

Ever since I downloaded the last OS update, my ipod touch has been very slow when I press on a song title to start playing it. Similarly, it is slow to skip over songs. There is now a 1-2 second delay after I touch it to when it starts playing.
Why is this happening? Has this happened to other updated ipod touches?

Have you done a reset? How about a restore? Either one of those should take care of what you are seeing.

IPod gets stuck when it starts play mostly after deep sleep

Hi,
I have a problem with my 60G Video iPod:
Most of the times it gets stuck completely when I start use it after deep sleep (it hasn't been used for night etc.).
The problem is very consistent:
1. I turn it on.
2. Start playing some song.
3. See the 'normal' play screen (song timer is 0:0)
4. Hear spinning and clicks of hard drive and ....
5. It just freezes: doesn't response to any key (including Hold)
Only Reset helps now and when I generally get Folder icon with exclamation point and
it needs at least another reset to be able use it.
I updated iPod to the last version (1.1) - doesn't help.
It passed through Restore - same results: Every second turning on it gets stuck.
Does anybody have/know about similar behavior?
I think I have to ask Yeda for help?
Any ideas?
Thanks

My ipod touch 4g is not showing my songs after it syncs w/itunes

hi there,
i have an ipod touch 4g as a gift recently. i downloaded the newest version of itunes from the internet. i transferred my songs from my computer to itunes music library. when i sync-ed my ipod touch to my itunes library, it doesn't show Any of my songs that i have in my itunes music library. None of my songs are listed on my ipod touch under "music," whether it be "recently added" or any of the other categories.
also, when i sync-ed, it gave me an error message that few of the songs cannot be sync-ed because the lyrics are not available or something like that. i don't think i did anything wrong when i sync-ed. the computer recognized my ipod touch when i connected it to the usb port of my computer n it opened up the itunes window n sync-ed right away as well. but, for some reason, my ipod touch still doesn't have any of my songs that i have in my itunes library.
can someone pls tell me what i need to do or what have i not done yet? please help...desperately seeking help for my ipod touch to be able to download/sync my songs as it shows on my itunes music library.
any help is greatly appreciated. looking forward to anyone's help. thank you sooo much.

hi kobito,
thanks for your reply but i don't understand what u mean by zone alarm? where would that be on my computer? also, i tried changing the language but the music is still not there at all. last but not least, what is the purpose of having my antivirus software disabled prior to syncing? i didn't understand that question.
till now i still haven't been able to get my music on my ipod touch. this is really frustrating and upsetting. all i get is my podcast and that is it; no music/songs whatsoever...:-(
pls help if u can give me more details how to do it the right way. thanks again for your help.

With new upgrade, can I play music to Ford sync with bluetooth?

The new upgrade 3.0 is fantastic. Can I play music on the Ford Sync system or do I need the 3G?
Thanks for your advice.
Best,
Tom

the original iphone, even with the 3.0 OS does not support the A2DP bluetooth profile... therefor you can not stream audio to the sync. you can however USB it to the sync and copy music over (I think) I don't have a sync, but wish I did...

IPod automatically starts playing...

I've recently noticed that my iPod will automatically start playing at random points throughout the day. When it fires up, it always starts and plays the same cd...Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath." It will play the disc all the way through, then shut down.
My iPod will be totally charged, but because of this automatic startup, the battery will be drained in a matter of hours.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how was the problem solved?
iPod 20 GB Windows XP

First thing to check would be to see if you have an alarm set.
To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

Nano doesn't automatically start playing when connected to docking station

I have a Philips CD/Radio/ipod player that is compatible with my nano. My husband has the a nano (same generation) and when he connects his to the docking station, it automatically starts playing. He can use the controls on the machine vs on the nano. I can only start playing mine by clicking the play button on my nano.
I've gone through both of our nano's to see if there is a difference in settings and I can't find anything that's different.
Please help...it's really annoying.

So once you start it, can you then use the controls?
So what does it play when he plugs it in? It seems like he must be pre-selecting something to play, so maybe it's already in progress when he plugs in, and you are not doing that. Put some of his music in your iTunes and tell him to make it work - watch what he does very carefully
Does the ipod player say anything in the manual about more than one iPod or automatic playing?

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?
Jerry

Hi, Jerry -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

I've installed Flip4Mac WMV in Lion and when I try to listen to audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 0.5 seconds it starts playing again. So, I have the same thing playing with a delay... What is happening and how to fix it?

I've installed Flip4Mac WMV in Lion and when I try to listen to audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 0.5 seconds it starts playing again. So, I have the same thing playing with a delay... What is happening and how to fix it? Is there any other way to play theese kinds of files without using Flip4Mac WMV?

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

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.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides
