Music Plays when Dragging to iPod

Whenever I drag music from the library to my ipod, it starts to automatically play those songs. This can very annoying when I'm watching movies or listening to other songs while transferring. I've tried to search for other postings like this but I couldn't find anything. Is there anyway to get around this?

My volume buttons won't work. Music plays when I get a phone call. That is the only time my speaker makes noise. My settings are how they should be, the top button is not on silent, I've shut my phone off many times, I've totally restored my phone. Help

Music plays continuously on my ipod touch

Does that mean you can't turn off/pause the Music app?
If you mean that a sng or playliest repeats but yu can pause/stop it witht he muisc ontroles it appears that you have the Repeat feature turned on. On the music playing screen, on the left had side of the screen right below the scrugger is the Repeat control. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap the icon until it is white.

I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows7 and now albums added post udgrade wont play when added to ipod.

Hi
I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows 7. I have just added 8 albums (Mp3 format) to my itunes library, synced with my Ipod classic and my wifes ipod nano, the albums have transferred to the devices but wont play when selected. Yet they will play in itunes.
When I select the album on the ipod, it opens up as normal but when you press play nothing happens other than a wining sound from the hard drive of the ipod.
My itunes library is a mix of itune purchases and mp3 purchases and this is the first time I have experienced this issue
Hopefully there is a simple explanation to this

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

After editing slideshow html, music plays when photos are selected normaly

I followed instructions on how to add music to a slideshow by editing the html, and it worked great. The problem is.. when a photo on the page is selected without starting the slideshow the music starts.
What has to be changed in the code to make it so the music only plays when the slideshow is started.
Thanks

What do you see if you try to edit one of those photos? Do you see this in the window?

As a first attempt at a fix make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Iphone 3G music plays when headphones inserted

like the title says, music always automatically starts to play when I put headphones in. Is there any way to stop this.

I'm not sure it can be corrected in software. If, as I suspect, a transient spike when plugging the headphones in is causing the remote button signal line to register a single click, it's a hardware issue. If that's the case, about the only thing Apple could do is measure the time between the button signal and when the external speakers are cut off and if it's a small enough interval, stop playback. Of course, if you're too slow in plugging the headphones all the way in, the issue could still happen.

IPod touch won't play ANY music, only skips. All music plays when FROM ipod when plugged into iTunes. No, songs are not corrupt, I was playing an album through iTunes from my iPod and for no reason iTunes froze and now I'm having issues with my iPod.

So I was playing an album from my iPod through iTunes like normal, and the album ended. I switched to iTunes view to change to a new one and it said "iPod is done syncing" (I did not choose to sync, nor did anything appear different). I tried to click on a song to play and iTunes froze. I had to restart iTunes and when I ejected my iPod (properly) the syncing sign was still turning on my iPod. As of now my iPod only skips through every song I try to play, but when I plug it into iTunes every song FROM my iPod plays perfectly.
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. Everything was working fine before when it decided to do this with very little effort, therefore I would like it fixed with very little effort.
I have tried resycing my iPod multiple times (every time I eject it from iTunes it appears to do so properly [iPod icon goes away] but the syncing icon still appears on my iPod).
I have almost 58 GB of music on my iPod so I'm not interested in starting from scratch. Also a good portion of my music is on a computer I don't have access to anymore so that's out of the question. Since the music seems to be uncorrupted (still plays from iPod in iTunes) I want a way to fix this iPod issue without having to erase anything.

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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

How to fix: Music corrupts when transferred to ipod. This happens with the same songs on multiple ipods and the song plays regularly in itunes...

Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hello there klundie,
I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
All the best,
Sterling

Damaged music files when synched with Ipod

Hi
I have a Mac Book Pro, and an 80GB Ipod Video. When I synch between Ipod and Itunes, some of the music tracks get damaged. Parts of the songs dont play properly for a few seconds then revert back to normal. I assume this is when it is being written to the Ipod disc, but how do I ensure seemless transfer?
thx

OK,
After hours of working on this I beleive I have figured out how the iPod organizes photos if your a syncing it with a windows directory.
The iPod uses the order in which the opertating system stores the photos in the file directory. What this means is renaming the files has no impact.
However, if you rename them in the order you want them, then do a select All, which is normally control-A, then drag them to a new folder, the operating system will then copy them by their alphabetic name into the new folder (You may have to be view the original folder sorted by name.)
Now in this new folder the operating system has stored them in the file system in the same order as they were named.
Now set the iPod photo sync directory to this directory and it should work.
Here is a second tip. There is an awesome shareware utility called irfanview www.irfanview.com This utility will allow you to rename an entire group of files with, for example, the date the pictures were shot.
After renaming, do a select all and copy to a new directory. Then link the iPod to this new directory and you will have the photos on your iPod in the order they were shot.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF APPLE JUST TOLD US THIS!

Music plays when I open Firefox browser

Whenever I open Firefox browser music begins playing. I have also sometimes heard non-musical audio, what sounds like a commercial.
I checked the add-ons/plug-ins list of Firefox and nothing on it seems to be the source of this problem.
I also already checked the installed programs from my computer's Control Panel. But there is nothing installed recently that would explain this unwanted audio playing upon opening Firefox.
And this unwanted audio only plays in Firefox, not when I use Internet Explorer browser. But I prefer Firefox overall, so hope I may find a remedy to this situation.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the problem will not go away using that measure either.
And when I have tried a System Restore of my hard drive the earliest date is this morning, which does no good as this problem was also there yesterday.
My Operating System is Windows 7 64-bit. I am using an HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC.
Please advise on what is a solution to this issue.

Perchance, were you using a Video Downloader add-on?
Maybe a video got "stuck" in the download cache and was replaying when Firefox was opened.

Music gone when I eject iPod nano 6th generation

Hello,
I turned on my iPod today and find it had no music on it. I plugged it into iTunes and all the music was there, but when I ejected it from iTunes it still said 'No music'. What's going on? I also cannot eject it from iTunes as 'the files are in use by another program' so I've had to eject it from Computer.

I don't believe this is possible.

ITunes 8.2.1 - Music missing when syncing to iPod Touch

Using a PowerMac G5 Tower with 10.5.7 and iPod Touch 2nd Gen with latest software. I upgraded to 8.2 awhile back and it worked fine. After upgrading to iTunes 8.2.1 my iPod will sync audiobooks, podcasts, etc. but not my music. iTunes will start the sync, but after a few seconds it stops and says the sync is completed. On the iPod Touch, I see everything (audiobooks, etc) but the music files are missing. Most of the music is ripped from CDs but a few songs are also from the iTunes store. Apple's zeal to prevent the Pre from downloading music from ITunes may have resulted in them stopping other music too.
I plan to try these fixes in this order:
1. replace my iTunes Library file with a backup file from before I did the update.
2. roll back to 8.2
Has anyone else rolled back to 8.2? What's the procedure? I don't want to re-import thousands of music files if I don't have to. Do I simply replace the app and the prefs files or do I need to delete other files?

Neither method worked. Replacing the music library and rolling back to 8.2 (after deleting four iTunes-related plist files) resulted in the same problem - everything syncs but my Music. I also reset the iPod Touch but that didn't make a difference.
The interim solution I found is to add Music to my iPod manually. I set my iTunes iPod Preferences to manually update the iPod and drag and drop away. A pain, but at least I can use the iPod until I figure out how to get Music to automatically sync again.

ITunes shows my music but when I connect iPod it shows all my music twice

I recently purchased a new computer so I used my iPod as an external hard drive to move my songs. I upgraded my iPod software and installed the latest and greatest iTunes on my new laptop. I thought everything went well until I contacted my iPod to my new computer. The iPod updated and I was able to view my iPod in iTunes. But I can't play any of the songs from the iPod folders (Recently Played, Top 25, etc). I can't even highlight the songs that are categorized under my iPod. I can play all my songs from my library in iTunes when the iPod is connected to the computer or not. Why are all of my songs showing up in iTunes twice when the iPod is connected? I know it didn't do this before the upgrade. Where did I mess up? Please help.
Sorry this was so long winded.

I can't hear the music playing when I have my headphones plugged in and I do not know why. And my headphones aren't broken. What is wrong?

For some reason I cannot hear music when I plug in my headphone on my ipad, but headphines are not broken.

Have you very used headphones or earbuds with an iPad before? It really takes quite a firm push to seat the earphones into the jack, you do have to give it a good push.
