Music randomly plays on Iphone

The music on my iphone keeps randomly playing even though I have not  pressed anything, and the app is not open.  Recently I even deleted all of my music from my phone to stop it but Apple has a few songs in my itunes, and now those play.  I have an iphone 4 and  ios7.1.  How do I stop this from happening?

This is the first time I hear such an issue. Are you sure that it is indeed the Music app on your iPhone which is responsible for the random playback? When you unlock the iPhone what application do you see open?

  • I just put my earphones and then started watching something but suddenly my music randomly plays then stops then plays again. HELP!

    I have a yellow (some call it neon green) iTouch 5th Gen 32GB. I was watching something when my music randomly played. Afterwards, it stopped. Suddenly, it kept playing again! Then it kept repeating on off on off. How do I stop this?!?!? It's really annoying.

    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.

  • ITunes Radio/Music Randomly Playing on My iPhone 5 with iOS7

    Hello,
    I apparently do not understand how iTunes Radio/Music operates as I am noticing what I think is strange behavior on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.  I am noticing that under "artists" in the music app there are suddenly 49 songs that are appearing that I did not download to my iPhone and I can never seem to really get rid of them. There will be times when I wake up my iPhone and presented with one of these songs playing making it appear as if music has been running constantly in the background.  Other times, I will just get my normal lockscreen.  Our others experiencing this?  I have also noticed that the songs that are showing
    I have started listing to iTumes Radio as well but I don;t think the music that is playing is actually iTunes radio but instead these 49 songs that randomly synced to my iPhone without my knowledge.  I would like to delete them and stop having songs randomly appear at times when I wake up my phone.  Also, I do not subscribe to iTunes Match.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'm having the same trouble.  Sometimes restarting both the mac and the iDevice will help, but not always.
    I restarted in OS X Recovery System mode and rand the Disk Utility and dozens of permissions problems were discovered!  THe trouble is Disk Utility can not seem to fix them and when I reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1 from the Apple site there was no improvement.
    My music library is close to 400gb and I get VERY nervous updating or working on iTunes for fear of losing something.  Most is on CD somewhere though there is not time enough in this life to to re-rip everything.
    What is worse is I just bought Capo 3 and when I drag my songs from iTunes to Capo 3 it says all my files are bad.  It does work if I move the songs directly from the iTunes folder under Music.

  • Music randomly stops on iphone 3G

    Hi everybody,
    First excuse my english as I am french.
    I would like to have some advices. I bought an Iphone 3G less than one year ago. After a few months music started to stop from time to time. I couldn't hear a song from the beginning till the end. And then the whole machine started to shut off. I went to an Apple store and the machine was exchanged. The engineer told me that if the problem appeared once again, it would be because of the datas from the old iphone.
    So when the problem appeared on the new phone, i erased all datas. But still i can't play entire songs, it is worst than before. Even the music bought on itunes can't be played right.
    I've heard that the new firmware (4 and followers) is not right for the iphone 3G. But if this is true, what solution do i have ?
    Thanks for your advices !

    As a former sound engineer, I'd say that the audio quality on most Apple iPods is generally not that great (the original white iPod shuffle being a notable exception), so your comment regarding the iRiver doesn't surprise me. It wouldn't hurt to compare you iPhone against another unit though just in case.
    There is a problem with the built-in iPod and iPhone EQ settings in that they boost the bass without reducing overall level, thus causing the signal to 'clip' and producing audible distortion. Given that many CDs are mastered for maximum volume, there's not much you can do about this other than turning the EQ off or selecting a different setting. The same effect is audible in iTunes, although you can use the 'preamp' setting to reduce the volume level before the bass boost is applied, thus minimising any clipping. Some types of music and CDs are worse than others, so not everybody will notice this problem, but it can sometimes be quite pronounced.
    I have reported this as a bug to Apple in the past and suggest that yourself and others do the same in the hope that they will fix it by applying a similar 'preamp' boost or cut appropriate to each of the built-in EQ settings to avoid the distortion.

  • Purchased Music wont play on iphone

    Hi everyone..
    Please help!
    Music has all worked fine on iPhone 4s.
    As of yesterday all my puchased music on my iPhone won't play. 
    It doesn't start or even try but jumps to the next song with the wrong artwork. 
    CDs I transferred work fine but nothing from iTunes.
    iTunes plays fine on my computer.
    I tried deactivating then reactivating and resynching.
    I also copied the purchased into a playlist. It wont play the songs purchased songs out of the playlist either.
    Grr.. any ideas?
    No updates/new software since then and Im on the latest iTunes version and latest iOS

    Ok folks,
    I had this problem inn that the music was on the phone but would not play or at least the track appeared to be playing but no sound or the art work and artist did not match the track playing.
    What I did was un tick every box in the iphone music tab and then synced. I then took all the sync my music ticks out and scnced the phone again. My tracks were still on the phone and played.
    I have the back up to icloud turned on so i don't know if this was causing some conflict somewhere.
    It seems to have sorted it for me at the moment.
    Hope this helped

  • Music Randomly Plays

    Here's an odd one, my iPad will randomly start playing music out of my iTunes library. Both times it starts at the beginning of "All Songs". Today I was sitting at my desk for 2 hours, when suddenly it started playing music for no reason at all. It was in the Apple case, and the flap was closed so I know it didn't do it unintentionally.
    Any ideas how this is happening, its the second time.

    That is super weird. If it were me I would take it into an apple store right away. But that's going to be a hard one to explain/convince - unless the Apple genius is willing to just sit there with you for hours and hour waiting. You will basically have to do your best not to come off like your trying to pull a fast one.
    Maybe there is some kind of short in your cable and when you brush against it or something it is triggering the iPod app to play. That's just wild speculation on my part though. Good luck

  • Music wont play from Iphone 4s

    I downloaded the latest itunes last night and am running 7.02  Now my music from my itunes library on my phone will not play.  I have tried to delete and resync.  nothing is working.

    I think you will need to sync those files to Itunes first, then sync your phone to itunes to transfer those music.

  • Music randomly deletes from iPhone music library?

    I currently have an iPhone 6, and I have quite a few downloaded albums. However, once and a while I will notice some of my songs or a whole album have disappeared. They are not gone, the way I have to get them back is from going into the purchased music on iTunes. I would like to prevent this. I do share the apple ID account with three other people.

    Music is also disappearing from my itunes library and the above does not resolve my issues. 
    Firstly I forgot the password for my original itunes username 10 years ago so set up a new one then.  All the music I bought from the first login name has now gone - how do I get it back?  Secondly albums that I have bought / been given have disappeared - itunes now says it cannot locate original file and sends me to old itunes libraries which, when I click on them, don't seem to work.  I am very upset as the first album my son bought me has now disappeared and I want it back!
    Can anyone help?

  • IPhone 4 - My music randomly starts playing

    My phone will be off and then all of a sudden my music starts playing. It can either be my itunes music or pandora. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

    I have the same issue but with my ipad. Anyone know why this happens or how to stop it? It's quite embarrasing since it starts playing in the middle of class or when out running errands.

  • Does the iPhone support a "Random Play All" feature?

    After reading the iPhone manual on-line, I did not see direct support for a "Random Play All" option.
    Please tell me that this was an omission in the manual and it is directly supported by the iPhone, because this is a deal breaker for our family if it is not directly suported.

    It might help if I had any idea what that feature was.
    Do you mean a shuffle feature-where it randomly picks music tracks and plays them?
    If so-the 3g iPhone has it.

  • Music randomly disappears during sync with iPhone

    When I sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, music randomly disappears from my iTunes library. The first time, 100 items "could not be found," then the last time 10 items "could not be found." Songs are still listed in the library, but they will not play and they have an exclamation point next to them. I have everything backed up on an external drive, but it's a pain to have to keep dragging songs back over. This problem began after my most recent OS X update. The items are very random and incude songs purchased from iTunes, songs from CDs I own and "digital book" downloads included with albums I purchased through iTunes. I would very much appreciate any help. I'm afraid to sync music anymore!

    Unfortunately, this does not fix my issue. The battery indicator still disappears sometimes (not always) when syncing and I always have the sidebar showing. BTW, this only happens with my 5S not with my wife's 5 or my iPad 3. It used to happen with the 5 that used to be mine until I got the 5S and gave the 5 to my wife. Because of this I think it has something to do with some app I have loaded (but since I have many apps it would be very hard to track down).

  • 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

  • Why does my music player on my iPhone 4 always revert back to the same song when in shuffle mode even tho I have played multiple songs since that first song was played.very frustrated

    SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion.  Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random
