Music speeds up then stops.

Starting a few weeks ago, when playing music on my iPhone 3G, the songs suddenly speed up or stop and the phone goes back to the home screen. I have restored, reset and reloaded all my music and content in the phone and have the latest software. It may work for the next hour or so, but the next day it will happen again.
Any thoughts from anyone?

I get the same problem since I started using 3.1 - randomply the uadio will speed up & jump & when i try to stop the audio the controls are unresonsive & will start playing again.
I found if i turn the iphone 3g off & back on again it stops (for a while) im going to roll back the software to see if it works better with a previous version.

  • HT2518 I have tried 3 times to migrate my info from my pc to my mac and it gets as far as starting to transfer the music file and then stops any ideas thanks

    Hello just got my MacBook pro but cant migrate my pc info yo the mac tried three times gets as far as trying to transfer music then stops any ides thanks

    as an addendum  - is there someway to "restart" a stalled restore.
    When I went to bed last night my picture download was in the same position when I woke up. I am on the edge of cell service. I have NO cell service on this device - as the phone service has been transferred to a iphone6.
    My phone is sitting 10-15 feet away from my wifi access point. there are appx 1200 pictures - so the restore takes an inordinate amount of time - much more than the few hour stated.

  • Why watch one Music Video and then Stop (and the next one? no fun)

    I would like to know if Aple TV let "Music Videos" play without stop.
    I would like to see all my Music Videos without stop,... but with "Aple Tv" i can see only one, and then if i want to see an other one, i have to do it by my self. I thought ok, maybe i have to have a "Playlist" with all my "Music-Videos" and then i could see all of them... but it didn´t work either.
    Since i discovered that i cannot do that, i stop buying "Music-Videos"
    Can anyone help me pls and tell me how to do it?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    As Chenks says and you have discovered, continuous play of music (or for that matter any) video, is not currently supported.
    You may want to check future updates to see if this feature gets included, but nobody here knows whether this will happen or not. There is the possibility that the lack of this feature is intended and is omitted to protect the unit from being left playing continuous video 24/7, but who knows.

  • IPhone 3G Starts Playing Music In Car Then Stops

    Hey everyone,
    I have a new problem with my iPhone 3G. You see, when I used to have the original iPhone, it used to work fine with my car's headunit: http://mobile.jensen.com/jensen/JensenProductDetail.do?ACTIONTYPE_ID=ACTION_TYPE_PRODUCT_DETAIL&ACTION_CATEGORY_ID=STR_CATEGORY_MOBILEMULTIME DIA&ACTION_PRODUCTID=VM9412
    That headunit has a cable that would plug into the iPhone and then the iPhone's playlists would show up on the touchscreen and allow me to control it from there. It was very cool and easy. Music would play continuously without a problem.
    Fast forward to recently, when I got the iPhone 3G. Everything is fine, I plug in the iPhone to the cable, it says it can't charge it like it could with the old one (that's fine, I guess... still blows), but here's the thing - the playlists will show up, I can select a song, the song would start playing and then it would just stop randomly and the headunit's screen would show "Reading..." When I checked the iPhone after this happened, it seemed like it just reset the connection for no reason: the little "play" symbol would be gone from the top bar.
    This would be totally random too, sometimes I would be lucky and it would play a couple of songs before this would happen. Disconnecting and connecting it again would get rid of the "Reading..." and would bring everything back, but the same problem would just happen a few minutes later. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH THE OLD ONE. I don't know if it's the 2.0 software (yes, I have the latest software on mine) or if it's the new hardware or what, but it's incredibly frustrating. I've tried a variety of things, including having Airplane Mode on and off, ignoring the Airplane Mode dialog popup entirely, etc... but still no luck. Also, this is only a problem in the car, when I connect it to a sound dock I have at home, I don't get this problem.
    Please tell me what I can do! Thanks.

    I do not believe your problem relates to the car or the charger at all. It is a problem with the iPhone. I have the same problem when I take my iPhone along for a run. I'm noting that it happens when I go for a run because this problem occurs after I've been listening for about an hour. Just as in your case my phone will start and stop randomly. It will also play a song for three seconds and then skip to the next song. Also, in my case, when this happens I can't use the phone. If I try and dial someone it'll start the call and then immediately hang up.
    I called Apple support and they gave me the line that this is totally new, never happened to anyone before, etc. Then they told me to reboot the iPhone (holding the button on top and the wake-up button at same time for 15 seconds). They said if that doesn't work I should try a restore. Anyway, rebooting works, but after another hour or so of nonstop listening the problem starts up again. I called Apple again and after 1.5 hours on the phone (hold time, explain problem from scratch, repeat old suggestions, getting transferred, hold again, explain problem again from scratch, same old suggestions) they told me it must be a problem with my corrupted data because no one else has reported this problem. They said there is nothing more they can do.
    BTW, I have spoken to two other people in my building who are having the same problem. They too were told that support told them they were the only people having this problem.

  • 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.

  • I have an apple tv 3 but when i use Home Sharing from my Windows Laptop the Apple TV shows all my music on the TV but it will only play 1 or 2 songs and then stops!!! Annoying, so I have to re-start iTunes on my Laptop and it will play 1 or 2 more songs

    Can anyone assist me with this issue?
    Thanks

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • At night, as soon as I plug my iphone to be recharged, my iphone starts behaving abnormaly.  It is like somebody has taken control of it.  I see the screens moving, music starts playing and then stopping, etc.

    At night, as soon as I plug my iphone to be recharged, my iphone starts behaving anomaly.  It is like somebody has taken control of it.  I see the screens moving, music starts playing and then stopping, etc.  I have noticed that several nights.  What I do is in Settings is to change  into Plane Mode, thinking that, may be if I do that, somebody that has taking control of it will not be able to download data.  Yesterday night, I was awakened by an alarm, whose setting I did not changed. When I looked over, the alarm screen changed to Settings and the Plane Mode changed alone in front of my eyes, from on to off.
    I have not observed such a situation during the day. Only when I plug the cable.
    I suspected that may be there is no Trojan installed. May be the cable, which is a spare cable, has been modified by a hacker, and it has electronics installed in the connector.  But tested with the original cable, and the behavior was the same, as described above.

    Thanks Meg for your reply.
    It could be that both cable are bad. But, anyway, you would not expect any of these manifestations, even with a bad cable. I had bad cable for my 4s, and never saw such a thing! 
    I contacted by chat the support of Apple.  They told me that this behavior could be a software problem and recommended me to do a full recover of my iphone. That meant, putting in at the factory conditions and recup all the data from the backup.  I did that, and the behavior did not change.  The backup was made with the data of my PC, not icloud.  Tomorrow will try with icloud and check if that will work. 

  • How do I stop iPod on my iPad from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop.

    How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop until it's told to play the next song. In iTunes I can uncheck the checkmarks next to songs, but I can't see where to do that on the iPad 2.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • Lagging - Music plays for 5 sec., then stop for 10 sec.???

    I bought the AE last week and it worked fine for 2 days, then on a morning, for no particular reason. It started to lag heavily. music will play for 2-5 seconds then stops for another 2-5 second, then play again for 2-5 sec.
    I tried everything from restarting AE, upgrade Frameware to 6.2 then downgraded to 6.1, upgraded to itune 5 today, nothing works... it is the very same problem.
    I am using a Dlink "B" only wireless router, does it make a different? and why did the AE work for 2 days then started this heavy lagging.
    Please help
    Brian

    I too have been experiencing the exact same issues. Mine has ran perfectly now for months however. From a terminal prompt if you cd /var/log and look at the system.log file you may find the airport link going down the up again (which would certainly account for lags/outages). The link down and up messages are what I am seeing. Often changing the channel will help as interference from other networks/devices can cause the issue as well. My problem began last Saturday, and continued even after I upgraded the firmware to 6.2. As of right now it is running fine again. A friend mentioned that there was a larger than normal amount of Solar activity that was wreaking havoc with some cell phone coverage recently. It would be interesting if these issues go away in the next week or so. Thoughts?

  • HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

    Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things.  You either sync or manually manage.
    Manually manage is drag and drop.
    Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

  • My gen5 80gig syncs some movies and music then stops

    My gen5 80gig syncs some movies and music then stops and makes a weird sound and i know theres nothing wrong with the music or movies and i don't know what to do I've tried the 5R's, restoring in disk mode everything so HELP!
    Message was edited by: Spangus08

    There could be problems with the iPod's file structures so it might pay to check it for errors. Try putting the iPod in disk mode thus; hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Close iTunes if it's open. Once in disk mode connect to your computer, then browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of successfully transfering files.

  • My iPhone 4S plays music for 5 seconds on a dock then stops sending audio

    Hi.  My first time in an Apple Community.  My 4S plays music through headphones ok but if I connect it to a dock (Wadia 170i), the music plays for 5 seconds then stops.  It's the same whether Spotify, Audible (talking books), BBC iPlayer etc.  So whether streamed or stored on the iphone, same result.  It's important to note that the iPhone continues to 'play' though the sound no longer seems to be sent through the dock.  It could be a dock problem but it's so simple I find that hard to accept since it has no problem with an iPod.  Has anyone else experienced anything similar?  Thanks. Paul

    Hello sound_freak,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when connecting your iPod to your your Wadia 170i dock.  I recommend reviewing the article below to further isolate and troubleshoot an issue like this (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

  • I have an iPhone 4S and a 2012 Honda CRV . The streaming BT music is fine but now suddenly it stopped displaying song info on the screen. It worked for about 10 days and then stopped. Any thoughts?

    I think that we all know the answer to this one.
    Unfortunatley the device is concidered damaged by water. Apple can do an out of warranty repair which would cost $199. Generally they would just replace the device in this case for the $199.
    The alternative is to Purchase a new device.
