Music just stopped playing

why does Spotify stopped playing whenever i do something else on my phone like browse facebook, or read my phone messages, or open a link to read something? some other music apps like Jango lets you do whatever you want, but it keeps playing ur playlist.. i'm not even gonna mention how pitifully miniscule Spotify's music library is compared to this apps...ooops

Okay - nevermind. I was playing around with it, tried to restore it and it didn't work, then when I was just pressing random things to try and make it work, it started working again. I just pressed the top 5 circles where you can star / rate a song :S and it began working. Weird. Nevermind and thanks anyways.

Itunes music just stops playing

While i'm riding my the iphone just stops playing music. This is only a recnet event and I think its somehow tied to recent updates

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, 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.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
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.

Music just stopped playing, sometimes mid song have tried resync, restore

I have the 4s and about a week ago the music will stop mid song, sometimes a reboot fixed it and it will play again, sometimes I can not get it to play again! Tried deleting all my music and readding. Even tried a restore!!!! Help!

Music just stopped playing altogether- please help!!

Hi all, my itouch is fairly new (about 3 months old) and has worked great thus far. Last night, I downloaded the "Shout Card" application (it offers a bunch of different voices to say a certain message for you that you can send to friends), just to check it out. I sent a "Shout Card" sample to a friend, then listened to the sample in my email (it sent me an email attachment itself). After that, any song I tried playing wouldn't work. The itouch would have the play symbol on, but no sound would come out, either with earphones or without!! I tried out a bunch of different songs, and oddly enough, only one song would work :S - the rest of them stopped altogether. Even stranger, I can't seem to find the one song that was actually playing on my itouch anymore.
I'm going to try restoring it, but is there anything else I could do if that doesn't work? Thanks.
Does anyone have any idea why/how this happened? Could it have been a virus?

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My music randomly stops playing while using meetme app.

whenever using my iphone 5s my music will stop playing happans with local music and spotify i contacted apple support and they wanted to bring it in to look at it. any ideas?

Hi,
I am having the same problem with my iPhone ever since I have upgraded to the 1.1.1 firmware. I have had the following problems.
-Music stops playing when surfing the web.
-After listening to music and exiting iPod mode. The play icon in the status bar still appears. To fix this I initiate iPod mode,play,then pause the song and exit ipod mode.
-Bluetooth icon apears in status bar randomly. I just go into settings and turn the bluetooth off. I think this happens when I go in and out of air plane mode.
-Screen freezes. I just wait and it usually unfreezes or I have to reset the device.
I have 3-4 gigs of free space.
and have tried reseting the phone to fix the problems.
Thanks
-James

Music randomly stops playing.

I recently purchased the new iTouch 4G. I haven't had it for no more than 3 weeks. About a week ago, I was listening to some music and it just stopped playing. It has done the same thing a couple more times. The iTouch has also randomly reset it's self. I tried restoring it and it has done the same things it's been doing. Do you guys think it's a defected iPod Touch? What do you suggest I do?

Tough problem. It can be an app causing those issues. Even a restore wouldnt fix a bad app from harm.
Because that problem is hard to reproduce(its random) what I would do, is delete a few apps at a time, and continue like everything is fine.
You have an entire year it is a defective touch. So within that time, just try to find out if its an app.

Music applications stop playing when my phone locks

I was forced to update my phone from the 5.0 software to the 7 iOS software because most of my applications would no longer take updates. Now when I play my music applications every time my phone locks my music apps stop playing. I have researched this and it appears there is no way around it. The only thing that helps (not much) is extending the lock screen time to 5 minutes. Most of my phone use (other than text and talk) is streaming music and now it is a total pain due to this limiting feature. Did they do this to try to force customers to pay for music on I-Tunes? Does Apple have plans to fix this or should I start shopping for a different brand smart phone?
I have also noticed that my battery life is way shorter with the new update. I can't even make it through a full day now. Is there any way to reverse the upgrade and go back to 5.0 or am I stuck with the new software. Frustrating...

There is no Apple in this user to user forum.
Not sure why people keep talking about changing to a different brand, - we users don't care if you stay or go away from Apple.
My music plays just fine when I use the built in music app.
If you're using a 3rd party app - then talk to the app developer or look at their support site.

TS1717 my music videos stop playing after 3 minutes

my music videos stop playing after 3 mins it happens to them all they worked fine before I upgraded to the new software

No there is no particular limit, especially one as short as 4 minutes in the Flash player or a Web page in general.
The video file may have been corrupted before or during upload to server.
Test the original video file on your local machine, does it play the entire length? is so, notice the file size.
Compare that size to the file size of the video on the server... if they are the same, you might want to re-upload anyway.
Your video file will also have a web address that specifies exactly where it is located on your server. Do a direct download and test the file to see if it is courrupt.
It will have an address something like this:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/chris_test/tombstone/video1.flv
So download your file directly from the server and play on your local machine to see if it's longer than 4 min.
Could it be that your Web host only allows certain size files (no videos over 4 min for example)?

Songs (MP3) Just Stops Playing In iTunes.

Does anyone know why songs (MP3's) just stop playing in iTunes? Album art won't show up and the song was played several times in the past. Is there an answer for this or will it never be resolved? Is this the fault of iTunes or the songs or the user?

iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about the MP3 tags. Even if they played in previous versions, they might not play in itunes 8. But they might play in other jukebox porgrams like WMP or WinAmp.
See if your ID3 tags are correct using MP3 Validator.
Here is a good web article on it:

Songs just stop playing midway

Hi,
I have a 3rd generation iPad and an iPhone 5S. With both devices my itunes library songs (CD's that were downloaded or purchased from iTunes) will just stop playing midway. I have re-set both devices twice to restore to original factory settings and re-synced with my devices with airplane mode on so that there are no distruptions. Still the songs stop midway. I have played sames songs in itunes with no issues.
iphone = 7.1.2
ipad = 7.1.2
Can anyone help?

I Had this problem too. Do the songs play correctly on your computer? If so try this
What i had to do was remove the song from iTunes. Then re add them. Then resync the device. This was not a fun process.
good luck.

My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

My iPad just stopped playing videos. The original app that comes with the iPad opens with a blank black screen. I have shut all apps, and the shutdown the co ad, but no effect. Where to from here?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.
