Music stops abruptly at random times?

Hi all.
New 16Gb 3G iPhone. I listen to music on it quite heavily, so it's on most of the day while I program at my desk at work.
Over the past 2 or 3 days, it has started doing something really annoying. All of a sudden, it will stop playing a song it's in the middle of and the screen goes black.
And that's it. Nothing else happens until I intervene by pressing the menu button. Once I do that, it takes me back to the main menu of the phone, and I have to go into the iPod portion again and start playing the music again, as it totally resets itself.
Anyone else having this problem.
The first time this happened, I figured someone had tried to call me and hung up before I got to it, as it is initially that same sort of hesitation you get momentarily prior to a call coming through.
However, it has happened several times now and definitely isn't for this reason. Although I suspect maybe my mail is trying to sync or it is doing some other routine chore in the background that is causing it to have a problem.

I just bought my iPhone 3g last week, and I noticed last night while taking a walk that the songs stop and start randomly. I turn on music (listening through my head phones) and the song will stop. Then a few seconds later it starts, and plays for a few seconds, then pauses. It's like an invisible hand is doing things, because the play/pause button changes by itself.
Not only is this super annoying, but I don't understand why it only does this with the headphones plugged in (and they're the original iPhone headphones, right out of the box)....it DOES NOT do this when I have it plugged in to my car's aux port.

PI 7.1 File & JMS Adapter stops polling at random times

Hi All,
IN PI 7.1, at random times, the File Adapter stops polling. But status is green in RWB.
It starts working after the restart of File Service.
Any idea why this happens? (We don't use FTP Protocol)

Yes Ravi. We recently migrated to PI 7.1 from PI 7.0.
We dont use AAE.
We are on Support Pack 7.

what impact it might have on the File Polling?

Recorded FLV just stops after a random time

Hello:
I have some long (1 hour or so) flvs recorded from a small
flex app communicating with FMS 3.0.0. It is mostly audio.
When replaying them from
- a client Flash OR from (Method A)
- FMS and then have a Flash client connect to the FMS Live
stream (Method B)
The stream just stops after a while (variable: could be after
2 minutes or 20 minutes). It is very reproduceable which makes me
wonder how come others are not getting this as a google search does
not show other complaining.
I get an Unpublished and then Stop status on the Flash Player
for the stream.
Strange thing: If I play the stream direct from a player
(Method A above), then the higher the BufferTime and the longer it
takes to stop. With a buffer time of 5 seconds, it plays without
stopping.
I actually need to run it with Method B. Setting all kind of
buffers on the server produces no noticeable results.
Any idea?
I can send you my simple test codes for Flash player, FMS and
the flv if need be.
Thank you

First USB port stops working after random time and won't work until I restart

Hey guys
I have this problem on my late 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch,
It's been for a year already and it really freaks me out and drive me crazy
My first USB port next to the thunderbolt stops working after like 3 days, and it won't respond until I restart my computer or log off and log in again.
If I restart my computer, USB stops working after 3 days and won't respond until I restart
If I log off it works for like a couple of hours and then stops again
I have tried EVERYTHING, SMC reset - no luck, PRAM reset - same results, Upgraded to lion same results, Upgraded to mountain lion - SAME RESULT
And I can't take it to an apple store because I'm not from the US
I am 100% sure this is a software problem and I've seen here that many people have faced this problem
Please help, it really freaks me out

I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear but unless you really are using your laptop 24 hours a day, is there any reason why you don't just shut it down and reboot when you're ready to use it again? I have to wonder how many other MacBook Pro owners potentially have the same problem but when they quit computing for the day, their computers quit too.

Request: script to stream music for given amount of time

I'm looking for a bash script (or anything that will get the job done) that will:
-stream music from my favorite internet radio station (ie: di.fm)
-play stream for a given time in increments of 1hr (ie: 1 hr, 3 hrs, etc)
-at the end of the given time, fade out the music then terminate stream after fade out is complete.
-terminate script (or application that is performing these tasks)
Ideally, the script will take in the internet radio station and time as arguments. I have Rhythmbox which I currently use to stream. I don't care if the script opens applications for use in this process. Can anyone help me with this? Or at least get me pointed in the right direction?
PS: I plan on using this as my music to listen to while I'm trying to go to sleep, hence the time limit and fade out. If the music stopped abruptly I would most likely wake up.
Thanks guys.

I know in mplayer, you can do most of that.
For example, running this from console will play Lounging Sound radio for exactly one hour;
mplayer -endpos 01:00:00 http://67.159.44.146:8002/
I'm not sure about the fade out effect, you might have to Google for that information. I'd recommend the 'mplayer-svn-nogui' package in AUR (or check out the one here) if you decide to go this route.
Oh, you might want to check out MPD too... it could possibly do something like this.

Safari quitting/music stopping

I have a week 38 touch, bought it through the Apple Store online. I was using safari the other day for the first time, and I had a few issues.
First, my music would stop playing at random times. Double clicking the home button and trying to resume my music that way did not work. In order to get my music to start playing again I had to go back to my music and start the song over again.
A little later, Safari started crashing. Again. and again. and again. It must have happened almost 10 times - I tried posting on this discussion group from the touch and halfway through typing Safari quit on me again.
Also, the keyboard in Safari was very, very sluggish when I typed. This happened later on while using the app.
Has anyone else had this problem? I've seen posts about Safari quitting in the past, but not recently.

(I'm not up on the itouch "week" thing. Can someone point me to that discussion, please.)
I had a touch for a day, received it Monday from online store. Safari crashed continually when I tried to send mail from .mac account. Called Apple and was finally routed to the iPhone
tech department, *which is where everyone should go when looking for Touch support*, because nobody else knows anything about it. After an hour of downloading and restoring the software, it still did the same thing. The tech said the Touch was defective and I needed to send it back and get a new one. Waiting for the new one now.

Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

How do I eliminate this glitch? Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!

Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it? The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot. Can anyone advise me please. It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

Music plays at startup and at random times for 10 to 20 seconds at a time, how do I stop this?

When using Firefox music will start playing at random times, it only last 10 to 20 seconds then it quits. Then at random it will start playing while browsing or when at rest. this is very annoying and I need to figure how to turn this option off.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

IPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times and doesnt display all music

iPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times. When I manually manage music and re-sync it it still cancels the sync half way through, but shows all songs I manually copied on the phone within iTunes. On unplugging the songs dont display.
Have already tried changing the language, doing a hard reset, updating the itunes software, unchecking all songs and only checking the songs I want synced, deleting the songs that the sync stops at from iTunes. Still doesnt work.
Any ideas? Not too bothered about the syncing part if necessary I can manually move music I just need to know how to make it display on the phone when it is not plugged in to the computer?
Dont say wipe the phone and start again thats not an option for me.
Thanks

Instead of deleting I just re-imported everything over the top so iTunes has the links again. Now more songs have imported but when I get to a certain group of songs it cancels the sync.
I can see all the imported music I import on my phone but most of it is not clickable to play.
What happened originally was I cancelled a sync mid way, since then when iTunes tries to sync it always cancels at a certain point. Is there a way to effectively clear the cache of iTunes so it doesnt remember cancelling the sync before. I have tried updating iTunes and it doesnt work. Maybe if I uninstall then re-install?
Thanks

Why does my iPad play music at random times?

I don't know why my iPad 2/mini plays music at random times. I told my aunt if she could put away my iPad,
But then she came out and said the music started playing. So I stopped it. Any help out there?

Is the Control Panel accidently being brought up and the Play key being pressed?

When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

TS1717 The music stops unexpectedly but if I shut down and launch itumes again it will play for a short time again.I am using a single computer with Apple TV to connect to my sound system. I am running Windows 7. Any suggestions?

Why does the music stop playing after 5-15 minutes.? If I shut down and relaunch itune it will work for another 10 minutes then stop again.
I a running a single computer connected to my APpple TV wirelessly.

Hello LindaHarp,
It sounds like you are listening to iTunes Radio and it stops shortly after you start listening. I recommend starting by signing out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Then close all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue by signing back in to your account, and testing again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

My itunes music playing at random times

Right before walking into a conference room, my iPhone 5 starts playing my itunes music. I did not have the iTunes app playing at all AND the phone was on silent. Anyone experiencing the same thing, any fix?

That is not the behavior I am seeing. Itunes is just playing through a playlist and all of the sudden music just quits. When I look at the itunes controls, it appears to still be playing a song but no music is coming out. I have to pause and hit play and the music resumes. It is NOT an issue with the speakers as I have the music both playing out of my PC speakers as well as my stereo and music stops out of both of them. There is no activity (typing) being done on the computer when this happens. Sometimes it happens on the 2nd song and sometimes it gets through 5 or 6 songs before it stops.

At random times, the home button and power button doesn't turn on the phone

Okay so, I got an brand new iPhone 5 last December.
Now, it has been acting weird for the past month or so.
At random times, the phone doesn't respond when I press the home button or sleep button when it is at sleep. The phone finally responds after a minute by getting to the lock screen. The phone IS on. The home button and sleep button do work..The only time it sometimes doesn't respond is when it is at sleep.
If I'm listening to music, it also stops the music and the phone doesn't respond as mentioned before.
Could someone tell me what is happening?
Anyone have any similar cases of this problem?

Try this and see if it clears things up:
Hold down the Home and Sleep buttons down simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo. Ignore the shut down prompt. This is a hard reset and most of the time clears up weird things like this.
If that doesn't work, try restoring your phone in iTunes. There is likely something corrupt in the OS that just needs to be reset.
