Music cuts out after 1 song

Hi
I am currently having a problem with music playback on iPhone 3g where it will play one song and then quit back to the main page where the apps are held.
I have tried resetting the phone but it is still not working!!
Any ideas on how to sort this out??

i have no idea what can be the problem. i've seen other posters with this, but i can't remember what they did to solve their problem.
first off, can you check to see if you have shuffle or repeat on? that may be part of the issue. to see, start playing a song, and then tap on the album art. the scrubber bar should appear, along with the repeat and shuffle options. if the icons are white, it means they are off, but if they are blue, that means that they are on.
the only other thing i can think of being the problem is your audio files. what is their format? are you playing mp3, aac, etc?
if that's not the problem, i'd take it back to the apple store.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

    Delete the problem song(s) from library including file(s). Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Select Music tab to re-download again for free.

    Hello there, La Clairiere Feerique.
    I understand you are having issues with playback of a purchased song. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song from your computer, then re-download from your purchase history.
    To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Music
    Open the section below for the device you are using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my matchbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Airplay cuts out after one song

    I am having a problem with airplay cutting out after each song when using Itunes. I tunes continues to play but tracks but is not transmitting via airplay.
    configuration is as follows:
    Airport time capsule is connected via wireless to airport express, airport express is connected to wireless internet router via cat 6 RJ45, Apple TV connected via wireless to airport express.
    It is not physically possible to connect all devices together with cable.
    Time capsule is set to extend network via wireless connection to airport express and both are configured for 5GHz.
    I can connect my MAC Book Pro mid 2012 to either the Time capsule or airport express.
    Aiport express is connected to a Sound sytem and apple TV is also connected to separate Sound System.
    When playing tracks through ITunes and selecting both or either airport express or apple TV airplay cuts out. If I connect directly to my old internet router it also cuts out, indicating there is a possible problem with the WI-FI connection but each device has a perfect connection due to their proximity. If I connect my MAC Book Pro directly to the airport express in the same room and within 4 ft of each other airplay cuts out after one track so that does not indicate a signal error.
    This problem has only started recently and did not happen on my windows PC and if I play directly from my IPad or Iphone the music streams perfectly but I can only stream to one device at a time.
    Current configs:
    Airport express Version 7.6.4
    Time Capsule version 7.7.1
    Itunes version 11.1.3 (8)
    MAC Book Pro OS 10.8.5 mid 2012
    Apple TV (latest update)
    Obvious things I have done:
    Checked for updates
    Rebooted every device several times
    Tried moving every device closer together (made no difference)
    Re-rooted all light aircraft and switched off every thing that could possibly that transmits device in the house
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

    I have this same problem. 
    I am using an Alienware Aurora desktop PC running Windows 8.1.  My music library is stored on  Synology Diskstation 1513+ NAS.  The PC, Playmaker and NAS are all wired into a Netgraer D6300 router. 
    I have no problem playing iTunes through my PC speakers or headphones but when I use Airplay to play either through my Apple TV OR my Bang and Olufsen Playmaker (through to B&O speakers) the music stops after one track even though iTunes is still playing the next track in the playlist.  If I stop and restart, or if I choose another track it plays through to the end and the problem starts again.  If I play wirelessly from my iPhone through the Playmaker and the B&O speakers I have no problem.  So it seems to be fairly and squarely an Airplay issue?
    This was intermittently happening but is now happening all the time.  GRRRRRR!

    Hi
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    176x144
    480x360
    640x480
    720x540    960x540
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In

    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

  • HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
    Thanks

    I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
    Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

  • I downloaded an album recently, but I guess my internet was going in and out the whole time, and now 5 of the 14 songs will cut out after a few seconds.  How can I re-download those few songs?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Sample song cuts out after 42 seconds

    I am trying to play the sample of songs and they are cutting out after 42 seconds instead of 90 seconds. Any suggestions?

    1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
    Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
    2. Then apply these instructions:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Your problem should be 100% solved

  • IPhone 4 audio playback cuts out after latest update (5.1)

    My phones audio playback ( podcast, audiobook or music) cuts out at random intervals during playback.
    This happens when listening through apple headPhones or my audio lead aux input to my stereo.
    This has only started since the last software update (5.1). It's really frustrating as you often hit the jump back or forward arrows when restarting, instead of the intended Play symbol ( they are close together). This is really frustrating when your listing to an hour+ podcast.
    Is anyone else having this problem since the update?

    Same problem here! My phone was functioning correctly after the update until today, when it randomly attempted it's own emergency call, then requested that I turn on location services. When I hit cancel, it repeatedly requested that I turn on the service. When I agreed to turn on location services, it defaulted to the screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable. Since then, I have been unable to get it to function. The phone has been switching between a black screen and the apple screen and buzzing periodically. When I touched the apple, it pixellated and melted away. I did see a message that the iPhone needed to be activated once and very briefly. I managed to connect it to iTunes using an old troubleshooting guide, but when I asked iTunes to restore it to factory settings (politely, thank you), it gave me error 21 (unknown error) and said it was unable to restore.
    Hopefully someone has an answer...?

  • Sound cutting out after 2.1 update

    Hi!
    I installed the newest firmware upgrage, 2.1, the one with the "genius" playlist.
    After this install however, i've had problems with songs cutting out after a few seconds. The song continues to play, but with no sound. Also, this often occurs if i turn the screen off, within a few seconds of selecting a new song to play.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Has nothing to do with that. Like the previous remark says, it's totally random. One song doesn't work so if you select another song it may play, or not, or just for a few moments. Go back to the song you originally chose and it may play, or not. Same with videos. I just bought a new dock and thought there was something wrong with that but, nope, it's the iPod. It chokes me that something that costs so much is so easily broken. I've only had it for 6 weeks and who knows how long it will take them to fix this issue.
    If you are having the same problem, PLEASE report it so that we can get this fixed asap!
    Thanks!!

  • Itunes samples are cutting out after a few seconds

    When I sample a song recently, it cuts out after 10-15 seconds instead of the usual 1:30.
    Did I adjust my settings somehow or is this a systems issue?
    I have tried re-loading Itunes into the latest version, but the problem continues.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    thanks Rob but can you provide more info? Do you know where I can find this folder on Windows 7? I checked with the local Helpdesk in my company but they would like more info
    Also, is there any help page that gives details such as this?
    thanks again

  • Music Cutting out

    I am working on a piece, 210 seconds long, based on a song. When exporting the finished show the music cuts out at the same point all the time. The song was downloaded from Itunes store, am I missing something....
    I have created a small file @
    www.steveandfiona.co.uk, use the video test link to see it.......
    The music stops about 3/4 of the way through....
    This is for use in a church service, and is my 1st attempt, so its not that good or massive. Could someone help, as I need this running for Sunday 18th Dec......
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I think you may be running into limitations due to a lack of RAM. Motion loads everything into memory and you've got 210 seconds x 30fps x 1 MB per frame = 6300 MB or 6.3 GB. You appear to have less ram than that...
    And you didn't say which version of Motion you are using. If 1.0, that would explain a lot - Motion's handling of audio has improved quite a bit in 2.0
    What I would do is to export the video, then marry the video and audio in QuickTime. Load each into a player, create a new player, click on video, select all, copy, click on new player, paste, position to beginning of new player, click on audio, select all, copy, click on new player, under the edit menu, select "Add", save your new player.
    Post back,

  • Music cutting out using wireless external speakers

    i've been having problems with the music cutting out while playing. i have itunes 9.2.1 and have it set up wirelessly to external speakers. it doesn't cut out when playing on computer speakers. is this a speaker or wireless or itunes problem?

    Could not agree more... thought it was the appletv, then my rarely used airport express, then started changing/upgrading wireless routers in the house. Have the latest stuff but, cannot stream from my laptop without it cutting out (streaming to a "wired" appleTV, no less).
    Every once in a while, I'll get a combination that's just right and it will work, then after about 10 mins, starts the drops. I've changed stream settings, wireless router settings, everything I can find on the Inet as a possible suggestion. I concur it's got to be a iTunes software issue.
