Music stops playing after song finishes

Hi guys..im using a iphone 3gs..3.12 version
My problem now is that my Songs after each song they stop..even thou the playlist still has songs.I noticed that everytime it try to play the next song,it kicks me back into my home page..and i have to on it back again to select another song..Im not sure what has happen.can anyone help me here?thanks so much

Check in iTunes to be sure each song has a checkmark in the box to the left of the song's title. Songs without checkmarks are ignored unless specifically selected. If you check songs, sync your iPhone again to transfer the changes.
To check or uncheck all boxes on a PC with one click, hold down the Control (ctrl) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse. You can use this in a library, a playlist or in search results.
To check or uncheck all boxes on a Mac with one click, hold down the Command (cmd) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse.

ITunes Match Music Stops playing after each song- Even when on Shuffle

It doesn't matter if I'm on 3G or on WIFI the songs that are streaming through my iTunes Match account on my iPhone / iPad stop playing after a single song. Sometime it will take a few songs before it stops playing, but it ALWAYS stops. I have to constantly go onto my iOS device and press PLAY again to get the music to start again. It's not a data issue as I have a consistant 30MB down when i'm on WIFI and my 3G connection is always over 10MB down when the freezes occur.
It's a pain in the rear having to press play every few songs as i'm paying for a service I expect to work, and clearly streaming a single song and then stopping is not working in my book.
I'm running the latest versions of iOS and I've tried a complete system restore.
I also notice that occasionally when a certain song comes on, it will cycle through and skip 20+30 songs extremely rapidly so I can see the song title on my iPhone but it doesn't play any of the songs inbetween. There are also of course many song's that won't even play at all.
Any ideas?

I am having the sames issues. I was on the phone with Apple over the weekend. I was told they would report it to their engineers. It would seem this problem occurred first in May and June and was resolved from what I have read this morning in past discussions, yet seems to be reoccurring again as of this weekend.

Music stops playing after Bluetooth headset call

I have been using this setup since the days of iPhone 2G running v1 software. The problem has only occurred since I got my iPhone 3G running 2.0.
In my car I have a cassette adapter connected to the headphone jack and a Jabra bluetooth headset for voice calls.
I listen to a lot of podcasts in the car and music plays out happily through the car stereo. When a call comes in the music fades and I answer the call on the bluetooth headset. All works great. I then end the call and 8 of 10 times you'll hear a split second of the podcast and then it stops. The play icon disappears out of the status bar. I then have to go back in to the iPod and hit play.
I have also noticed sometimes when in the iPod app and music is playing, I hit the home button and the music will stop playing for a split second and then continue.
I have completely restored the iPhone on several occasions, sometimes even not restored the backup and started fresh. It has never gone away!
Is it the phone? Is it the bluetooth headset?
Any ideas would be gratefully received. I am happy to replace the BT headset if people think it will help but do not wish to buy one unnecessarily.

It's neither your specific phone nor your BT headset. It's a plain, old-fashioned bug.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
(there's a Bug Report category)
I have the same thing occur frequently with Apple's BT headset (it has persisted across two iPhones and two Apple BT headsets).

How can i get my iPod to stop playing after it finishes an episode? At one time I could do this and fall asleep listening to my podcast but now it keeps playing and the battery is dead in the morning.

why won't my iPod stop after finishing episodes. It keeps playing.

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
On the iPod you can enable a sleep timer: Settings -> Extras -> Alarms -> Sleep Timer.

Music stopped playing after updating

I'm not sure when this quit working, but I suspect after I installed the latest update. Sound works fine when playing a movie, or podcast, but nothing works with music. I can't play my own music (which I stream from a Windows XP PC) and I can't even play music from the iTunes store directly.
This used to work just fine, but now, nothing.
Any ideas?

It's fixed. I just re-synced the Apple TV with iTunes and now it works.

HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

Some songs stop playing after minute 1

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

TS1717 my music videos stop playing after 3 minutes

my music videos stop playing after 3 mins it happens to them all they worked fine before I upgraded to the new software

No there is no particular limit, especially one as short as 4 minutes in the Flash player or a Web page in general.
The video file may have been corrupted before or during upload to server.
Test the original video file on your local machine, does it play the entire length? is so, notice the file size.
Compare that size to the file size of the video on the server... if they are the same, you might want to re-upload anyway.
Your video file will also have a web address that specifies exactly where it is located on your server. Do a direct download and test the file to see if it is courrupt.
It will have an address something like this:
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/chris_test/tombstone/video1.flv
So download your file directly from the server and play on your local machine to see if it's longer than 4 min.
Could it be that your Web host only allows certain size files (no videos over 4 min for example)?
Best wishes,

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.

My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking. I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on. Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again. I can't go forward or go back. When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air. I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing. I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's. I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem. I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product? It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

I Just ran into the same issue:
My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
Then it would get stuck at the same place.
I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
re-synced my playlist and same issue!
did a restore as described above - same issue.
Solution in my case:
one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
- Deleted the song from the local library
- re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
- now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
- re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
hope that helps someone else....

Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
please help out a soldier in need?

mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

My itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes down after about 5 min. im using windows7

DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
- IDE controler failure
- Bad cables
- Bad harddisk
Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C...

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.
