Music doesn't play properly

My music tends to stop at random times and then continue for the rest of the song with silence. I have correctly downloaded all the songs and albums from iTunes, and when the songs do play, some just morph into other songs ie. they stop as above but start playing a completely random song instead for the rest of the song. Also, when I skip ahead eg. 30 seconds of a song, it sometimes plays a completely different song. Any help? Thanks.

The instructions in my reply to this previous discussion are applicable to your case:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Hi
Please describe How You go from PPT to iDVD. Via iMovie ?
If so - then convert Your .wma file to .aiff (same kHz) and use this in iMovie instead. (no .mp3 either)

The music doesn't play at all....

The music doesn't play at all. I've reset it over and over, and NOTHING.. It stays on the song for a second or two, then skips to the next one, and continue this process with not a sound.... Any Help????

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 or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

My music doesn't play in the order it's supposed to.

My music doesn't play in the order its supposed to. The songs are listed in the correct order in the playlist and when I choose the first song in my playlist, it plays, but then every song after that is played randomly. Its like its shuffling. How do I fix this?

Music album cover images and track titles show on iPhone 4s but music doesn't play - any ideas?

I am a Young at Heart Senior, new to iPhone 4s, have an old creaking pc with Windows XP Home.....but plan to enter the real world any day soon by buying a new Mac!
Here is my problem, I purchased an album on iTunes and mistakenly started to sync it to my phone, (although I don't have iCloud loaded on my pc). I stopped it mid download and later noticed that the total track numbers were showing as a red number above the "more" button as if they were waiting to complete the download. It stayed there while I thought about it for a few days, but when I click the Album button all the tracks are listed.
Now to the funny part.....when I click on a track or indeed any of them, it doesn't play a sound...but the progress bar above moves as if "now playing".
So, I thought.... no problem, I would connect the phone up to iTunes and delete the tracks....but when I do so, this album and none of it's track titles show in my music list for the phone......weird.
So, I have a large album with titles only on my phone, no music behind the titles (which, incidentally, is rubbish anyway) and I can't get rid of it off my phone, any of you young whizzy iPhoners have any ideas how to clear it off???
I did think I might just Restore my phone, but wondered whether downloading all my stuff from iCloud would still include the dreaded "Now That's What I Call Christmas" album, which I only purchased in late 2011 to play at a seniors Xmas party...........you live and learn!
You will guess from my ramblings that I am not at all techy, but consider myself willing to learn and apart from this hiccup........I luuuurve my iPhone!

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

Music plays - Music doesn't play ?

iTunes 10 library on external HD, wireless, OS 10.6.4,
I have AirTunes working and listen to music on my external speakers. Sometimes the music moves to the next song in a list and plays but no sound. If I double click the song it starts over and plays with sound. I might get 3-4 tunes and it will do it again.
Any ideas on what's happening and how to fix it so my music can play ALL the time?
I've done restarts of the modem, Airports and computer. I've repaired preferences and turned off Bluetooth but I rarely get more than 3-4 songs to play before all goes silent yet the song advances as if playing. Never ending issue.
Thanks - Roger

Question. When I plug in my headphones, the music plays. But when I try to play it without headphones, it doesn't really play. Sometimes it doesn't play at all. Other times, it won't play the first 20 seconds and then only plays five seconds. The songs are downloaded not streaming thru google play. How do I fix this? I've only had the phone 1 month.

When I open a web page I've built on my computer, the music doesn't play. It will play if I open it in IE.

I build web pages on my computer and before I updated Firefox I could hear the music when I opened the page. Since I updated Firefox the music will not play. If I open the page in IE the music plays fine. When I go to my website on the internet, the music plays fine. It only happens when I open a page on my computer. I have Windows XP. I have downloaded all the newer plugins but nothing helps.

You need to specify a MIME type attribute.<br />
Otherwise Firefox doesn't know which plugin to use.<br />
Using <b>type="application/x-mplayer2"</b> will use the Windows Media player.

Music doesn't play with Still Menu....help

I have still menu in Tiff file.
If I set it to still mode, it doesn't play music.
If I set it to loop, it plays music but when I build. DVSP crashes when it reaches to write that menu...
Any suggestion?
Thank you..

.TIFF will work fine - but you don't need to set any loop points to get it to loop. In effect it is a still menu and all you need to do is leave the default setting for the 'at end' drop down box to read 'loop'. If you try to apply a loop point then DVDSP will be expecting moving footage as the menu asset. You converted your .TIFF to M2V and so DVDSP was able to find a GOP structure within that and legally set loop points on the I Frames in the GOP structure.
It sounds to me as if you have slightly misunderstood the way menus are set up and the use of the loop point tool - not a biggie, but worth going over to make it easier for you to use the tools. Well done for finding a way around your problem.

IOS5 Music doesn't play the right songs!

Newly upgraded, and when I use what used to be called iPod (now Music) the list of songs shows, but tapping certain songs doesn't play them, it plays either nothing at all, or the wrong song. Very chaotic!

The database files on the iPad have probably become corrupted. You will have to remove the songs from the iPad and re-sync them from iTunes to re-write a fresh database file. It can easily be done by unchecking "Sync Music" in the iPad's sync settings in iTunes, sync then re-check it.

My space mobile account. Music doesn't play

I thought the 'myspace mobile' would somehow have got round the problem that if you go to myspace via safari the little plug in player flash player or real player or whatever isn't installed so the music can't play.
Yet even with the 'myspace mobile' account it still doesn't play !
The whole point about myspace is the emphasis is on music so it's useless if te music can't play on the iphone. Anyone know a way to make the music play or is Steve Jobs too obsessed with people only ever being allowed to hear anything through itunes ?

I think that that is the way it is. My friend has an iPhone and I have an iPod Touch, and both of them don't allow you to play music. Even if you have a myspace mobile! Sorry, but I think us myspace users have to wait until an update comes out for the current app.

Slideshow Music doesn't play in iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9

After ugrading to Mavericks 10.9 and then to iPhoto 9.5, music from playlists in my iTunes 11.1.2 Library doesn't play in iPhoto slideshows. Music shows up in the iPhoto Slideshow Music menu OK, but won't play there or in slideshows themselves. Both worked fine in OSX 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3.
Oddly enough, the built-in Sample Music and Theme Music from the iPhoto Slideshow menu DO work!
Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes. Am holding off upgrading my other computers, since I do a lot with slideshows, and this is a big problem for me.

After yesterday's OSX update to 10.9 and the subsequent iPhoto 9.5 update to 9.5 I also have the same problem:
Music for old existing slide shows from iTunes can't be played back.
When changing the setting for the slide show length to be set by the playback time of the music, iPhoto crashes.
When trying to add iTunes music to a slide show the preview function does not work.
iTunes songs can be added to a slide show. When playing it back the songs will however not play.
To rule out an issue with my iPhoto picture library I did the following - sadly still yielding the same erroneous behavior:
Created new iPhoto library.
Imported 10 picutes.
Created a new slide show with said pictures.
Tried to add iTunes music: preview does not work and added song don't play when slide show is played back.

Music doesn't play on one side

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation for about a year and a half. Recently when I play music through headphones the left side cuts out or doesn't play at all, I've noticed it has to do with the positioning of the headphone plug in the iPod. The headphones aren't the problem as I have tested them with other iPods. I was wondering if this is a common problem and if there was any easy fix.

I have the EXACT same problem with my iPod Touch generation 2. The left side of the headphones doesn't work at all, while the right side works perfectly. I have to maneuver AND hold the it in a certain way to hear it in both ears and it's very annoying!
I'm gonna have to send it into these people for $58 bucks cause I don't think I could do it myself.
I was just gonna make a topic about this until I saw this one. And thank God I did! Same thing happened to my cousin's iTouch and she doesn't even use it half the time thanks to this problem. It's a shame really.

Purchased music doesn't play when battery isn't fully charge

When the mini is fully charges everything plays correctly. However if the batter is anything but completely charged it doesn't play the purchased music. I don't know why it does this, other friends with ipod's do not have this type of problem. If there some setting that needs to be adjusted?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See if resettting your iPod rectifies the problem...
