Music keeps stopping

For some reason, even when my computer isn't doing anything else, the music in iTunes will sometimes stop every 5 seconds before going on. It's not doing this all the time, but it's doing it often enough to really tick me off now. What's going on?

It may be that the connector on your headphone or stero jack is going bad. If the ipod sences that the jack has been removed, it will stop playing the music. A bad jack could cause a connectivity problem that makes the iPod think for a second that the cable has been unplugged. Try using a different set of headphones (or a different stereo cable , it you are using it in your car.)

My music keeps stopping after only a few seconds of playing.

Tried hard reset, which worked temporarily. I don't think it's contaminated files because it stops regardless of source(iTunes, spottily, youtube, etc.) please advise

Hello Thadewd,
Thank you for providing the details regarding the audio issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. If you have tried a reset and it only temporarily worked, the next step is to restore your iPhone. You can find the steps to restore your iPhone in the following article:

How do I keep my music from stopping when my ipad autolocks?

How do I keep my music from stopping when I close my ipad or it autolocks?

My wife has the same problem. I believe I found the solution. Activate "do not disturb" in settings - do not disturb - manual. Make sure to also go to allow calls from and set it to no one. A moon will appear in the status bar. You will see notifications of missed calls but it does not interrupt Pandora. Let me know if this works for you.

You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

When my ipod nano 6th generation falls asleep or if the light dims the music will stop how can i fix this

i cant get this to stop i have reseted it and everything. i have the 6th generation ipod nano and when i press the little sleep button so i wont press any buttons it turns off or when it dims the light the music will stop i dont know why please help

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

I am unable to download updates directly to iPad 2 , now trying to reinstall one from scratch but download keeps stopping and the restarting. Can you offer any advice, this happening when trying to download to laptop in itunes as well. Have tried to download on different broadband lines without success. Is this an apple problem due to high demand or something else?
Everything has worked well until about a month ago, up to date iOS 5 and itunes installed. Tried resetting numerous times, turned off all apps still no joy. Ipad was great but now feeling buying one was mistake. Also recent music purchase was useless and tunes would not play correctly.

Since this is happening on the iPad and the computer, it might be worth a try to reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Quit iTunes on the PC, reboot it and the iPad as well
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 - let go of the buttons

My hp support assistance wont run. It keeps stopping during updates and when deleting the temporary internet files. So it never finishes the process.. help

The failure to remove the Temporary Files could just be due to having your internet connection active during the removal process. For most folks, the amount of data in this directory is minimal. If you want / need to remove the files, you could close your browser(s), make sure your Internet music and TV connections are closed, and then try removing the files manually:
Path to Folder:
C:\Users\--YourAccountNameHere--\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
Warning:
Do NOT remove the "Temporary Internet Folder" itself. Go "inside" the folder before removing anything.

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.

You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing. It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.

Do you have auto drop enabled? Look for a red bar at the top where the green cycle bar is. It will punch you out at the end of the red bar.

I am getting error 4310 and my computer keeps stopping the burn before I get to burn it

I am getting error 4310 when trying to burn a CD with just 3 songs on it that I have just bought on ITunes and my computer keeps stopping the burn before I get to burn it. Can't find any information anywhere as to why. Can anyone help? Thanks

iTunes places the iPhone backup in the following location. Navigate there & delete everything in the backup folder, but not the folder itself. You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it:
Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
