Music jumping from song to song?

Strange behavior. When I play an album on my iphone 3gs it jumps from one song to another. Sometimes half way or almost all the way played or just anywhere in the song or podcast. Is anyone else experiencing this-never happened with my original iphone?
Doesn't happen every song and seems random. Mostly happens when I put the iphone in my pocket.

Now the first thing to check fore if the SHUFFLE is on in the iphone.
If it is on then go into SETTINGS > IPOD > under MUSIC, you will see *Shake to Shuffle*, Click OFF.
And give it a try.
Now if this dose not work you may have to install so 3.1 to solve the problem.
Cause i did notice that when i had 3.0 I had a similar problem. The song starts half way or when using A2DP audio the song has a delay. What i men is that a when I played a Video on my Iphone 3G s with 3.0 software using my car Bluetooth to transmit there was a significant delay in the audio play back.
But since i updated to firmware 3.1 that dose not happen any more.

  • I have an apple certified refurbished iPod touch 3rd generatio.  When playing the music with headphones, the music moves from song to song.  When it is on a docking station, it repeats the song.  Any ideas why or how to fix it?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.             

  • Music levels from song to song still too varied-even with "sound check" on

    Hi,
    A friend bought an iPod in place of his CD player so he could shuffle lots of songs.
    The song volumes are inconsistent from song to song... sometimes too soft, sometimes too loud... even with "sound check" on...
    What is wrong? What should he try? It's worse than his CD player so he says...
    Thanks in advance.

    There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
    For Macs there is iVolume.
    Also Macmp3Gain.

  • Is there anyway to separate music videos from songs on my iPhone?

    When I go to the "songs" section of my iPod my music videos I have on their play as well. Is there any way to separate them so the music videos don't play when I go to the songs portion of my iPod? Like maybe have music videos in a separate playlist?

    You can put them in separated playlists in iTunes then sync over.

  • I lost all of my Itunes music because of an infection that required them to wipe my computer.  I am trying to get the music back from multiple sources.  What I have recovered is a mess. Albums are mixed or songs not grouped as album. Help?

    My computer got infected with some terrible virus.  I contacted the manufacturer and they said the only thing to do was wipe the whole thing. I could not back it up bec this mess?ause it would include the infection. I have been trying to recover the lost music from several different places.  A friend tried to help me by putting all of his music on my computer from his external hard drive. That was very nice of him but now it is a terrible mess. The recovered songs are not grouped into albums correctly.  Some albums are mixed - every other song is from the other album.  Some songs are listed separately and not grouped as an album.  I tried to ask iTunes to find album art work and it has been running that for over 48 hours. Is that possible?  When I try to stop it I get a message that says I will lose all the data.  I admit that I am not very tech. savvy and I really don't know what I am doing.  It took me more than 20 years to make that collection and I am heart broken. Do you have any ideas about how I start to fix

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
    Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers.  To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.  Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share.  You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons.  Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
    Go to Music in your Home Share.  Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

  • How do I delete ringtones on my iPhone 5 that I created from songs in my iTunes music library?

    I created several ringtones for my iPhone 5 from songs in my iTunes music library but they are only 1 second long.  I need to delete them and recreated them so they are 30 seconds long.  How do I remove them from my iPhone and iTunes?

    No -- an iTunes sync has no effect on photos in the Camera Roll; each time you sync using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes setting/selections.

  • HT1351 When syncing music playlist from my itunes to ipod, I get a message saying some songs couldn't be found. Why is this - they are in my playlist.

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • Preventing Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs.

    How can I prevent Podcasts from being displayed as Music and\or songs?

    Welcome Mr. Lutz,
    Note: This is for Windows version of iTunes because this is the OS I'm running. Even with diferent OSes, the process should be similar enough.
    1.Open iTunes
    2.Connect your iPod
    3.Highlight it in the source list
    4.Go to Edit, then Preferences
    5.Click on the iPod tab
    6.Click on Automatically update selected playlists only
    7.Click which playlists you want on your iPod
    8.Switch to the Podcast tab
    9.Select automatically update all podcasts
    10.Click OK
    11.Disconnect your iPod
    12.Now, follow steps 1-7 with one of your daughter's iPods.
    13.Now, switch to the Podcast tab
    and select Do not update podcasts
    14.Click OK
    15.Disconnect the iPod.(Repeat Steps 12-15 with the other mini.
    This should allow your iPod to update your songs and podcasts, and allow your daughters to update their songs and no podcasts.
    Happy iPodding,

  • Downloading songs into itunes music folder from limewire

    I currently have songs scattered all over my computer and hard driveome from various programs and methods I have used to get music over the years. Some of the music is already in itunes and some isnt. I want to consolodate everything into my itunes music folder to make it more convenient. In an effort to do this I have switched my limewire preferences to download directly into the itunes music folder. However, when I download a song it appears in itunes only in a folder called "Limewire Tunes" but it is not present in the recently added folder or the itunes library. Does anyone know how I could remedy this?

    Of course you can always go into your preferences @
    Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    and put a check next to Keep itunes music organized and copy files to itunes music folder when adding to library.
    This way you can just add your new music to your library and it will automatically put it in your itunes folder for you all nice and neat like then you can delete the other music files from your limetunes music folder to keep you from having duplicates on your computer. Its a nice way to consolidate all your music into one easy to backup location
    Hope that helps,

  • Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

    Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac).  When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download.  They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod.  How can I get all of my songs back?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Hi there.
    Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
    No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
    I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
    While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
    I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
    Thanks again for your help

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
