Music on my iPhone 5s starts, stops, speeds up and skips seemingly at random.

Hi
Randomly my iphone 5s (ios 8.1.3) starts playing music.  Also when I am listening to any sort of audio (podcast, music or a phone call), my iphone audio randomly stops, skips and speeds up.  I can be on a phone call and the phone call gets ended and music starts. 
I've restarted, reset setting and cleaned my headphone jack and used various headphone and still have the issue.
Any suggestions are appreciated

Hi mnmboca,
Is the Music app on your iPhone the only application that is behaving erratically?  If so, I would suggest backing up your iPhone, deleting all of the music and podcasts, and then re-downloading just a few songs that you've already purchased to monitor the behavior.  If the issue persists, you may need to restore the iOS, since Music is a part of the iPhone's operating system.  Here are some resources that will explain the steps in more detail:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

View storage usage on your iOS device
Tap Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage to see the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
Tap an app for more detailed information about its usage.
Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and all of its content.
When you tap on the Music App, and tap Edit in the top right corner, You will see a red dot to the left of All Songs.  Tapping on that will remove all of the music from your iPhone.

I hope this information helps ....

    Hello Blackcruiser,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#6
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Best of luck,

  • How do I get the downloaded music on my iphone to my new home pc and itunes, it took the info from the 1st device but not the 2nd

    how do I get the downloaded music on my iphone to my new home pc and itunes, it took the info from the 1st device but not the 2nd

    the appletv will not display your movies in folders.
    you could change the tags in itunes to include the genre in the "show" field in the "video" tab. this would replicate the view you want, but you will need to tag all your movies to do this.

  • I have a new iphone6+  and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

    I have a new iphone6+  and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

    Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
    Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
    The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
    So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
    Please let us know what happens
    Thanks

  • Speeding up and skipping

    Hey, when I had the old version of iTunes, 6.05, I was able to play my music while playing computer games but ever since I've installed the new 7.0 version i find that I am no longer able to play my game and iTunes at the same time w/out the music I'm playing on iTunes speeding up and skipping. And I know what your thinking but I've already chacked my CPU percentage at the time and it was fluxuation between 5 and 6 percent usage so that couldn't be it. Any ideas?

    Ok, so I've tried a couple changes:
    A) Re-install sound card drivers
    (manual un-install of all sound card drivers and software, clean registry of all "creative" keys and clean re-install) - I'm running a Creative Audigy 2 OEM card, BTW.
    B) Decrease Hardware Acceleration
    C) Try "safe mode" for quicktime audio output
    D) Tried different sample rates and bit-depth (8,16,24) and variations of the settings
    E) Made sure that EQ and Sound Enhancer are disabled.
    F) I remember having similar issues with creative sound cards years and years ago on the first VIA athlon chipset motherboards - the issue was with PCI bus latency and VIA eventually fixed it, but on some motherboards there was a latency timer that could be changed. So I checked my motherboard (Gigabyte K8N Ultra SLI) and there is a latency timer - tried switching from 32ms to 128 and vice versa, restarting computer and trying variations of step B), C) and D), and E) and the problem is still there!!!! ARGH!
    Once again, this problem is isolated to iTunes - no other audio applications on my PC suffer the same problem - and the issues with iTunes started only after upgrading to iTunes 7.0
    Methinks Apple has some buggy directsound support problems with the latest version of Quicktime/iTunes.

  • My iTunes is not syncing all my music to my iphone despite goin throuh the motions and saying its syncing

    It starts out normal as if it's syncing properly and then reverts back. Stating its complete however half of my music is not synced and it says I have all the space available

    I had similar problem.  Found an answer and it worked fine.  First, connect your 4s to your Mac and iTunes.  Go to device, music and deselect Sync Music at very top.  Then, go to Summary and Sync the 4s.  Note that when finished all your music will be gone off the 4s.  disconnect the iPhone from the computer and do a Hard Shutdown or reboot/reset.  You do this by:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    Reconnect to the computer and iTunes.  Go to device, music, and check Sync Music.  Then select Sync on the summary page.  When finished all my songs and playlists were back on the iPhone the way they should be.  Good luck.

  • Is there a simpler way of erasing all the music from my iphone other than erasing all data and content?

    Having issues with the music player on my iphone 5, i have restored it but want to erase all my music off my iphone and start again from scratch, how do i do this without erasing all the content off my phone?

    Launch iTunes and plug you device into your computer. Select your device from the menu on the left and then in the window that opens select the Music Tab at the top. In the window that opens uncheck the Sync Music checkbox and then click Sync button in the low right side of iTunes. After the sync is complete your music will no longer be on the device.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I get my music on my iPhone to play all my songs and not just repeat one song?

    How do I get the music on my iPhone 4S to play all of my songs instead of just repeating 1 song?

    You have Repeat turned on.  While playing music, tap the screen so that you see the scrubber bar showing the time.  See that icon on the left side?  That's Repeat.  Tap it until it is white to turn it OFF.

  • Using opmn to start/stop hub repo and adapters

    Also posted as a thread on the OracleAS General forum, I'm hoping the duplication will cover both areas of expertise. Apologies if I offend.
    "Configuring custom process with OracleAS 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) "
    A Metalink note kindly informed me that I could use OPMN to start and stop Interconnect hub and adapter processes. The hyperlink sent me to the OPMN documentation and that's where the fun started!
    So far I have only tried to add the repository as an ias-component and this is how the section of the opmn.xml file looks.

    This parses okay and when I call opmnctl status I get the following:

    I tried opmnctl startproc ias-component=HUBDEV3 & opmnctl startproc process-type=HUBDEV3-repository but both retun the following message:

    no enabled components for this request
    Can anyone advice on where and why I'm going wrong?
    Sometimes you wish you'd never seen the hint in the first place!!

    Well, I now have a working solution.

    Once I added the working-dir attribute to the process-type tag, things began to fall into place. working-dir is set to the directory location of the repository start script and I repeated the same for the crmapps adapter. My biggest clue came when I added the crmapps adapter to the opmn.xml and when I tried to start it, the log file indicated that it couldn't find the adapter.ini file. The rest came naturally after that breakthrough.
    It needs a bit of rejigging but so far, results are good.

  • How to get iTunes music on your iphone without syncing iTunes to phone and without iCloud

    i just recently got an iPhone 5, but all of my music from my old phone (iPhone 4) isn't on it, and i can't download my music from iTunes because i cant update my iTunes without mountain lion (which costs $20) and i cant us iCloud because it require version OS X 10.7.4 and i need mountain lion for that too. Is there anyway I can get music on my phone without using itunes or icloud. (I would like to get all my old music back from itunes). Thanks.

    You cannot delete it.  It is either on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.
    Check all of these.

    Hello,

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  Also see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3763.
