You might want to try updating iTUnes to version 6.0.5.20 by going to apple.com and download/installing it

  • When my mac book pro is connected to my LED cinema display, itunes start and stop playing music randomly... Even when i stop it, it start again, and again, and again...

    This problem appear recently, at the same time as i've done ios6 update and everything which appear at the same time with all apple software.
    i've tried to reinstall 10.7.5 with reinstallation of itunes, but always the same problem...
    So, when using LED cinema Display,  i keep itunes sound volume at zero, to avoid this problem.
    Somebody with the same problem and a solution ???

    It is better to take it back to the genius bar.
    Your MBP is under warranty and let them fix it for you.

  • Why do some of my Stations on iTunes Radio stop playing music?

    I'm using iTunes Radio on my iPhone. After listening to it for while it will stop playing music. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the servers at Apple. Can anyone give me advice on this issue?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

  • My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

    i have an ipod touch 4th gen and it has all of a sudden stopped playing music. i click on the song and it goes onto it then all of a sudden goes onto the song then goes to the music menu without playing the song. please help

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs.

    After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs. Any thoughts about how to remedy this?

    Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

  • ITunes stops playing music chronically...

    I've noticed over the past few iTunes update releases that chronically stops playing music for no apparent reason. So I have to go back to iTunes to hit the PLAY button again and again... is someone aware/working on this chronic problem?

    One of the not-so-long-ago releases of iTunes apparently caused the play logic to change. There are cases now where play stops at the end of the current song, where I am pretty sure it would not have stopped under the old logic. I haven't quite put my finger on it, but it may have something to do with changing playlists during play.

  • I have an ipod touch 1st gen 32 GB. It stops playing music randomly. The battery has been replaced and I've tried restoring iOS 3.1.3 as a clean install but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    The battery died so I had it replaced. Now it stops playing music (It was doing this before with the old battery when plugged into power cable)... it won't even make it through a whole track. I have tried turning off and on, turned off autolock and restored several times to 3.1.3 with no apps, just music but the problem persists.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
    Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-)

  • I have a brand new ipod nano and I am wondering why it stops playing music if I let it sit to long with out pressing the stop and it has a battery life

    So I just got an Ipod nano from apple and I decided to pop it in and listen to it but if I do not use the touch screen for more than like a minute, it turns itself off and stops playing music. why?

    This is usually an indication that the headphones are not plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the jack should still be seen.  The newer headphone jacks on the 6G Nanos are a bit tighter than in previous generations and require just a bit of extra force to pop them all the way in.

  • IPhone 4S stops playing music

    Hi, my iPhone 4S randomly (or so I thought) stops playing music but still rings when a call connects and beeps when an email comes in. The on screen volume controls would disappear and the side volume button stopped working too.  I have seen many many comments on google/apple etc by people with this same issue.  Some people have even gone to the extent of writing blogs about this issue too. I had an old iPod 4 when they first came out and after about a year it developed the same problem.  It had been a bit misused by my then young children and assumed it was our fault but when it happened on my 6 month old iPhone 4S I thought it was odd.
    I initially blamed my recent software update to iOS 5.01 and hard reset the phone 3 separate times with varying temporary success (if you try a hard reset remember to back up first or you lose everything) I took it to an apple store and the assistant said he'd heard about the issue and after checking all my settings were ok he performed a soft reset which worked until.....I plugged my iphone back into its docking station.
    I read a couple of threads online about the iPhone thinking it was in docking station mode and decided to gently poke a thin implement into the dock opening.  Immediately and with the smallest of tweaks the volume controls appeared back on screen and my music played.  It only appeared briefly but with a little more wriggling of the implement the control came back and so far has stayed put. 
    Apple want to charge 20 dollars for tech support calls but I've requested a call back for 'one off hardware faults' which makes the conversation free.  I want to see what they have to say about what appears to me to be an inbuilt hardware problem. I'll keep you posted here.  Beware that if you tinker with your equipment you could invalidate any warranty etc.  I'm quite appalled that apple seem to have complete disregard for a their hardware failure and when we, as customers, pay top money for Their products we should expect top quality goods. The hardware should not be routinely confused by periphal hardware or lack thereof.  Not good apple.
    If you're reading this thread I assume you have the same problems and I wish you good luck.  Maybe if we all call their support line (selecting the one off free call option) they might start to listen and do something about it......

    I am on my 2ndiPhone 4s (in less than a week) and BOTH have had this stop-start music issue…
    I got a new one last night when my original 4s (received on Wednesday 11/02/11) would not play alerts, keyboard clicks, music, or videos without the ear buds or Bluetooth (after nearly a dozen hard restarts, one restore through iTunes and a “deep” restore for the firmware at the Apple store).   After I got my replacement, I was told at the Apple store not to sync through iTunes anymore if I am using iCloud because that would contribute to the problem?!?!?!  I thought maybe it’s an iCloud problem because it needs a strong Wi-Fi connection which I don’t have here at the office…
    I hope this is just a software fix because I am tired of all of these problems.  5 iPhones, 5 iPods and this iPhone (4s) is the worst...  Apple, please get that operating system upgrade out FAST!

  • IPhone stops playing music

    My iPhone stops playing music.  It only happens and happens conistently on certain files, old  Protected AAC files I bought from iTunes.  It seems to happen mostly (or always) at the same time, one minute eight seconds in. I notice it most on Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle, but also on other music from the same era of my downloads.  Sometimes you can just skip to the next song, sometimes it has lost its way worse.  It happens on both my new iPhone 4S as well as my old 3GS.

    They play fine on the computer, just not on the iPhone.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4 stops playing music through AUX and/or Bluetooth

    I recently updated to 5.1.1 and my phone will stop playing music through the headphone/AUX jack. Pulling out the cord and plugging it back in reinitiates the music, but it will stop soon afterwards again. The song is still playing (becauseplay icon still up). Thought it was a problem with the cord, but other iPhones (not updated--friends phones) work just fine for long periods with no interruption.
    I checked out the headphone jack looking for lint or debris and did not find any, so I did a restore. After restore of phone same problem, random cutting out using the headphone jack.
    This morning it is doing the same cutting out while playing music with my Bluetooth Bose speaker... so I tested it with my physical stereo system dock, again, music cuts out...
    What is going on with my phone?
    (Keep in mind that I've tested all my music devices--Bluetooth speaker, physical stereo dock, and car aux jack/cord with other NON-updated iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S with no problems like the one I am having.)
    Thank you.

    I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue - music cuts out when using headphones.  Sometimes it goes from play to stop and I can click play to start it again. Other times it stops (but is still playing) and I have to unplug and plug the headphone jack in again.  Seemed tgo start after turnign on iTunes Match - Although the songs that stop are not in the cloud - they are on my phone.  I have disabled itunes match to see if that will help and will report back...

  • Lumia 900 Bluetooth won't stop playing music

    If I want to have my phone available for handsfree calls and hear the directional prompts using Nokia Drive in my 2011 Acura TSX (not tech package) I have to have the audio set to Bluetooth Audio. But when I do that the Music app automatically starts and plays music. I can turn it off (using the Stop the Music app), but it comes back on after a few seconds. How can I make it stop playing music?
    Tom

    Hi TomKer,
    Thanks for posting and welcome.
    Nokia Drive voice navigation does not use or support Bluetooth as audio channel. If you are able to hear navigation through Bluetooth this might indicate an incompatibility between your car system and the Lumia. This may also indicate that your car system is possibly sending control signals over Bluetooth causing the playback of audio to start.
    I'd suggest you verify this by connection to a different car system to see if you can recreate this behaviour there. You might also want to contact a Nokia Care Point or the Nokia Care Line (by voice, mail or chat) for further assistance. You can find them through the Contact us section on this page.
