Music keeps pausing for no reason...

Hi all,
My iPod Shuffle is acting really strangely. Whenever I start listening to a track, after about 30 seconds, it just pauses. No reason, no touching of any button... it just stops.
I press play again and it picks up from where I left off.
I've just restored the device and re-synced, but it's still happening. Do you think the device itself is messed up and I'll need a new one? Don't really know what else to do.

I've been experiencing the same problem, and I am using third party speakers.
Is this a known problem?

  • IPod keeps pausing for no reason

    My iPod keeps pausing during a song for no apparent reason. is this related to my earphones? They are plugged in. Perhaps the headphone jack?

    this is one of two problems:
    1) your headphones are causing the ipods headphone jack to think that the headphones are out, therefore pausing.
    2)there is a defective part in your ipod's headphone jack.
    i would try using somebody elses earphones for a while to see if it is your earphones that are causing the problem.

  • My music keeps pausing for a a second...why?

    Hi wondered if anyone can help. When I try and play music in my itunes library it regularly jumps for a second and pauses for a second and then continues playing for a few minutes until the next jump! Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rob

    Try checking the activity monitor. Its a utility you are provided as a part of OSX. If you have multiple applications running, it could eat up your RAM which will cause itunes to pause for second. See how much processor memory or RAM is being used the next time it happens. It should lead you in the right direction.

  • My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!!

    My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!! I have verified the version is up to date and never had this problem before. I deleted all of my other projects. Don't know how to fix this but it's driving me nuts and the program keeps closing out of nowhere!! How do I fix this??

    Hi
    No Quick Fix - only my Trouble shooting notes
    Trouble-shooting guide
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    First try: Start iMovie - BUT keep - Shift-key down during full Up-Start - might help.
    Pref and Cache files:
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext. HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTED as DOS etc.)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc. - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort:
    Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • TS1702 iBooks keeps quitting for no reason

    iBooks keeps quitting for no reason. So tedious, so fed up with the app.

    You might have a corrupt PDF file in iBooks, a corrupted book download, the app itself might be corrupt.....have you tried deleting the app and reinstall it? You can download your books again from the purchased tab of the iBooks app. If you sync with iTunes, you can sync all of your books back to the iPad after you delete the app and reinstall it.
    In the meantime, you might want to just try quitting the app, reboot the iPad and then see how the app behaves.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iBooks app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Phone keeps rebooting for no reason

    I just replaced the battery in my Curve 8530 and it keeps rebooting for no reason at all.  Any suggestions/resolutions?

    Hey daVadar,
    Have you tried removing and inserting the battery ? i would suggest trying to back up and complete a clean reload of the device software and test before restoring your backup: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320

  • Pausing for no reason

    I have a new ipod nano and just started using it with a JBL brand external speaker system. Sometimes it will pause for no reason. I can manually get it to start again by using the ipod controls or the remote that came with the speakers. Usually after a few minutes, if left alone, it will come back to life on its own and start playing wherever it left off. If I do pause it myself, it will usually start playing again on its own after a few minutes, meaning that sometimes it's really hard to turn it off for good.
    I thought the cat was messing with the remote at first, but the last few times I watched it happen without anyone touching anything. I tried resetting the ipod, but I haven't noticed any changes. Any ideas?

    Since your issue started when you started the JBL system, contact their customer support department.

  • HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again.  Frustrating.

    My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason.  Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there.  I press the button on the side and it connects again.  Happening more frequently.  Purchased in March. 
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
    Hope this helps

  • My MacBook keeps freezing for no reason!

    So I bought a MacBook about 3 weeks ago and I was super excited and I love this thing, but it keeps freezing for no apparent reason! I will just be on the internet, or listening to music on iTunes or chatting, and it will freeze. I can't get any response from the keyboard or the mousepad and if music is playing, it sounds like the track is skipping. I have to force shut it down by holding the power button down everytime this happens. Sometimes it will happen after 30 minutes, sometimes not for 3 hours. I took it in 2 weeks ago for a hardware check and it came up clear and they told me it should be fine and might be my wireless internet connection. I have a NETGEAR wireless router. So, I turned off airport and did other things on the computer and it ran fine for over 3 hours without freezing. I was convinced it was my internet. BUT.... I had my friend come over and hook up to my internet connection and we both were on our macbooks (she has the exact same model as me) and mine froze and hers was completely fine the whole time! I was really angry and confused, so I brought my macbook back in again last friday. They told me there was an airport update, so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working. But that night, it froze once again. I was so frustrated and didn't know what else to do, so I did a complete system reinstall to clear out any programs that may have been causing the problem. I was so sure that this was going to work. And it seemed like it did. It's been working all week without freezing. Until tonight. I was sitting at my desk, reading my email, listening to music on iTunes, and chatting on iChat. I wanted to move my computer, so I unplugged from the wall, sat in a different chair and didn't plug back into the wall. It was fine for about 2 minutes in the new location, and then it froze once again. I honestly don't know what to do other than just bring it back and ask for a new one. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Any other suggestions? I just want this to stop!!!

    Hi Stephen,
    There seems to be alot of threads about this issue.
    I just put 'freezes' into the search and loads came up.
    It sounds like you've had a bad start with your new MB.
    Does it get extra hot before it freezes?
    There is a thread about the heat issue and freezing here...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4710316&#4710316
    Have a read and see if any of your problems are similar.
    If it persists much longer I would get in touch with Apple again and get it sorted.
    Hope this helps!

  • My shuffle pauses for no reason

    While running with my IPod Shuffle on, it suddenly pauses for no apparent reason.  At first it only happened once or twice during my run, but this weekend it happened about every 3-4 minutes.  It's very frustrating.  Any suggestions?

    Have you double checked to make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle? 
    Do you have your iPod in a case to help prevent it from contacting into contact with too much moisture during your runs? It doesn't take a whole lot to trigger the Shuffle into doing wacky things.

  • Workouts keep ending for no reason

    Ive been using the Nike+ for about 2 weeks now and my workouts keep randomly ending for no reason. After anywhere from .1 - 4 miles it will just stop and say workout complete. Then when I try to start again it tells me I need to connect the reciever even though i never removed it. I have to pull it out and put it back in again for it to recognize it. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

    I have just started having this same problem. I exchanged my kit and am still experiencing difficulty. If you go back several pages on the message board, you will see a few threads with similar problems described. Unfortunately, I have not seen any sol'n yet, just hypotheses as to why it may be happening (heat, moisture, signal strength from the transmitter). I think it is none of these problems and will likely be solved with a software update from Apple, hopefully very soon! I am going to try running with the hold button on and see if that works, I'm also going to call the tech support numbers that came with the kit.
    Post back if you find a solution!!!

  • Music Turns Off For No Reason

    I just got an iPhone on Sunday and I've noticed that when playing music out loud and surfing the web, the music randomly shuts off - not because of a phone call or text, just for no reason. Is this normal? Should it stop playing after a few minutes for no reason?

    Its a known bug and well documented in previous posts. Seems to happen if the phone has been running for a 3-4 hours+. Turn the phone off and on to clear it up (hold the top button down for 5 secs). We are all hopeful the next software update will resolve this issue.
