Music fast forwards and Siri/Voice control randomly pops up

While music is playing on my iPhone 4S, a number of problems occur. Siri will randomly come on as if I have hit the home button twice, pausing the music (once I hit the home button to turn Siri off the music plays again). The music will also randomly pause and fast forward itself. All of these things occur whether the phone in locked or unlocked. Sometimes, it starts to do these above things without me being in range with it. I have a feeling it is something to do with my Apple earpods. when I walk or move the earpods around a lot, these things are likelier to occur.
I have tried turning off shake to shuffle, raise to speak (for Siri) and I've even tried turning Siri off all together (which simply resulted in Voice Command coming on instead). I went to the Apple store for help and was told to do a backup and then restore the phone to factory settings. After I did that the issue persisted but with less frequency at first, but now it happens pretty constantly again. It seems like a software issue but the restore did not work so I'm not sure. Should I go to an Apple Store and get it checked out?

  • Subtitle buttons - fast-forward and rewinding issue

    I am new to DVD Studio Pro 4 and I have project that uses a subtitle button over a video track to provide users with the ability to go "back" to the previous menu - the menu in which they selected the track.
    There is a problem using this method however, when fast-forward or rewind is pressed, then the track starts to play again, the back button is now hosed. My thought is that this is because of the chapter markers not being refreshed in the middle of a subtitle, only at the begining and end like bookends.
    Is there a way around this? If not, are there any buggy issues with locking down the user controls for fast-forward and rewind? Any help would be much appreciated...
    -charlie

    You can lock out the User Ops for Fast Forward Rewind or whatever you want. Probably a good idea if you are using the track as a menu effectively.
    If however the track is amovie and you want them to go back to the menu where they selected it you can target the menu for any track to go back to a specific menu. Click on the track and check out the Inspector near the bottom where it syas Remote Control. Target the menu you want people to go to back to when they press Menu on their Remote

  • Voice Control randomly turns on

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy. I purchased a 32gb iPhone 3GS about 3 months ago and I have had an issue with the voice control since the day I brought it home. I have an auxiliary audio jack in my car so I always connect my iPhone to my car stereo to play music. For some reason whenever my iPhone is connected in this way the voice control constantly comes on.
    I understand that holding down the home button on the face of the phone is what is "supposed" to bring up the voice control option but that is not the case in this instance. Rather I will be listening to music, or simply pick the phone up while connected so I can change the song (but before I have actually touched any part of the phone) and the voice control will come on - stopping the song and forcing me to hit "cancel" in order to get back to the music. This is incredibly frustrating because it's happening while I drive and what makes it worse is the fact that since the phone is on voice control, and connected to my stereo, whenever I move it the sharp crackling from sound going through the microphone is broadcast through my car's speakers.
    I have read through a few threads and there doesn't seem to be any way to deactivate voice control - but I could be wrong. Does anyone have any idea how to permanently shut off voice control? Has anyone else had this same problem? I can't figure out why this would be happening or what I can do to prevent it. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I'm having the same problem except it happens when I'm trying to use voice dialling. I speak into my bluetooth headset to dial a number and it starts up my music or other things. I did find something on youtube on how you can disable voice control altogether by downloading some program but haven't tried it because I don't know if it will disable all voice control including voice dialling or just voice control for the rest of the phone. Here's a link to what I found on youtube...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE46y1bUpfQ
    If anyone tries this could you please post to let me know if it disables voice dialling. Thanks.

  • My phone dials automatic calls, shuffles applications, starts SIRI/ voice control.. What is the solution

    My phone dials automatic calls, shuffles applications, starts SIRI/ voice control.. What is the solution

    Hard to say for sure but i'm afraid i don't think that you'll find a solution for this while having a password on your phone.
    I just tested here with my SmartWatch 2 and i can browse my contacts and place a call using my SmartWatch 2 without entering my PIN so that works.

  • Fast Forward and Rewind keyboard shortcuts in Log and Capture

    In FCP, I want to assign the Fast Forward and Rewind buttons (in the Log and Capture mode) to buttons on the keyboard. I've assigned the functions using the Keyboard Layout in the Tools menu but it doesn't seem to be working like it should. In Log and Capture when I use the mouse to press the Fast Forward button, FCP stops the miniDV deck and fast forwards the tape as fast as possible without showing any picture. However, when I invoke the keyboard shortcut I created all I get is the picture moving a few fames per second instead of the tape stopping and fast forwarding as fast as possible. The same happens with the Rewind keyboard shortcut as well. Any ideas as to why, and how I might be able to fix this?
    The computer I'm currently working on is a Dual 2 GHz PowerMac G5, 2.5 GB RAM, Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro 5.0.4).

    When I press the fast forward or rewind button while logging a miniDV tape the video stops and then the tape fast forwards or rewinds at a MUCH faster rate than L or J ever give me. That is the behavior I am trying to get from a keyboard shortcut.
    Not possible via keyboard shortcuts, unfortunately.
    Even if you map the Rewind and Fast Forward functions to keys in a Custom Keyboard Layout - for those who didn't know, yes, there are specific commands for those functions even though they are not mapped by default - those shortcuts will not within the L&C window. We're stuck pressing the buttons.
    Forgot to mention: the only time you're able to invoke the true fast forward or rewind function is using Shift-I/O (that is, Go to In Point or Out Point). Of course that only works if you have the necessary In/Out point set...

  • IPod touch suddenly fast forwarding through songs and videos + voice control screen cutting in

    Hi
    In the last couple of days, it has started fast forwarding through songs and videos randomly. The voice control screen is also cutting in randomly. It happens as soon as I turn it on and play my first track or video. The only other problem I have noticed is that the volume controls on my headphones are no longer working. The headphones would be less than 6 months old and are genuine Apple ones. I don't think the problem is related because if I unplug them the fast forwarding still happens. I've tried powering it off and then re-starting it and I have been keeping the software up to date on it so I'm not sure what else I can try.
    In saying that, this morning it seems to be working properly but I'm worried the problem will return. I still can't adjust the volume via the headphones though.
    If anyone has any ideas about what I can do to resolve the fast forwarding problem, I would appreciate the feedback. The headphones I don't really care about because I can replace them.
    I've had my iPod touch for a few years and use it pretty heavily so part of me is wondering whether it is just getting to the end of its life. I'm not sure what sort of lifespan I can expect from my iPod touch.
    Thanks

    Try:
    - Try a regular pair of headphones
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Hello. Whenever I plug in my headphones, the music speeds up, changes, and stops by itself. And then Voice Control starts for no reason. I put back Siri to see if that was the problem and the same thing happened with Siri. How do I fix this?

    When I plug in my headphones the music starts to soeed up and stop ayi g by itself. Another issue is when it does stop, Voice Control is on when I don't hold on the home button. I turned on Siri because this is what started my problem (taking off Siri) and it didn't help, instead of Voice Control, Siri started to turn on. I didn't want Siri, so I put Voice Control and disabled it. I did so, and the problem still kept on going. Any ideas on how yo fix it?

    I'd guess that the problem is due to a short in your earphones. Try another set.

  • HT3597 My voice control randomly kicks in and interrupts itunes while I am running. Is there a way to disable this function?

    Disabling voice control while I'm running

    Go to the Store menu and Check for Available Downloads...?
    I used to get prompted when there was something waiting or unfinished.

  • ITunes 7.0.1 fast forwarding and skipping

    I installed itunes 7.0.1 today, and ever since all my songs randomly skip and or fast forward through the entire song. The results seem random, sometimes one song will start slow, and randomly skip other times the same track will just play extremely fast through the whole song. I have never had this problem with any other version of itunes. I tried changing my quicktime audio to "safe - wav out" but that does not help.
    I have a Pentium 4 with 2GB of DDR 3200 RAM and plently of system resources available. Has anybody else experienced this or know how to fix it, or is it just another 7.0.1 bug we have to wait out?
    Thanks!

    well, at least it's not like the old days anymore man, when an SB Live actually did alot more than what an onboard soundcard can do for you. I myself am not a hardcore gamer or anything, just like to listen to my music when I'm on the PC. My surround sound, dolby, dts and all that jazz is on my home theatre. If I am just listening to my iTunes, I honestly don't notice a difference between onboard sound and my sb live, so heck worst case enable your onboard sound if you have it or play with some drivers, or get yourself a cheapo $20 sound card. With all the problems though, you'd think Apple must be working on an updated version. good luck

  • Quicktime Player fast-forward and reverse buttons not working for audio

    I have Quicktime Player 7.7.3 for Windows and the fast forward/reverse buttons will not work while playing audio files. I've tried it with mp3 and m4a, neither will work.
    The go to end/go to begining buttons are working fine.
    The ff/reverse button don't work very well for video files, they only will move a few frames at a time, but they will not work at all on strictly audio files.
    I've looked at the preferences, and the software is up to date.
    the only way to ff/reverse is to go to Window > Show A/V Controls and use the Jog Shuttle, but that is a clumsy workaround. I'd rather have the playback buttons work properly in the first place.
    Is there something else I should be doing (aside from purchasing QT Pro, that is)?

    ...stupid decision to replace the iTunes feedback...
    Not replaced, just moved. Now grouped with all other Mac OS X feedback:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
    It's not a bug. If it was we would all have this problem. My Macs don't.
    Shut iTunes down.
    Go to ~/your user name/Library/Preferences and place the file "com.apple.iTunes.plist" in the trash.
    Try iTunes again. If your problem is solved, empty the trash.

  • How do i get my mouse wheel to stop making the song Fast forward and rewind?

    the song plays, I start surfing the web and if i use the scroll wheel on my mouse (up or down) it moves the play possition of the song foreward or backward.

    hey Lodinick,
    I'm actually trying to get my mouse to do what you're complaining about. My search led me to your post, LOL.
    I have a programmable logitech and I can't seem to find an option to assign the scroll functionality. I can change what happens when I click the scroll wheel, but not what happens when I scroll it up or down.
    To help you:
    1. If you have a programmable mouse, try digging in the software for that mouse.
    2. If not try looking in Windows mouse settings.
    If I find how to make it work on my mouse I'll try to remember and come tell you how to undo it.
