My iphone 4 keeps switching songs, playing and pausing by itself especially when I use my headphones

Ever since I installed the iOS 7.1 update, my iPhone 4 keeps playing, pausing, switching to the next song, fast forwarding by itself. Especially when I use my headphones. It's getting really frustrating because not only is it when I listen to the music player, but also on youtube videos and then it pause the video and then play the music from the music player or it would pause music on soundcloud by itself too. This mostly happens when I use my headphones but when I don't use my headphones I don't see it happening.
A friend called me and I was using my headphones and the conversation kept getting hanged up by itself it wasn't until I stopped using the headphones that I could have a normal converstation, but I only talked for less than a minute without the headphones so it wasn't enough to tell me that it is the headphones that is the problem. So is it my phone or my headphones? Is this a software problem because of the update because my headphones were not doing this before, HOW CAN I MAKE THIS STOP. (This has been happening for almost a week now)
BTW: I also noticed that if I am listening to music on the music player or youtube and its in my pocket or hand and Im jumping to the song or shaking (lol) the songs pause and plays then switches to the next song aaaaurrrrrruuuuuuuggggggghrrrrrghhhhhhh WHATS GOING ON

Hello alplease,
It sounds like your touch screen is acting erratically and seems to be exacerbated when you have your earphones in. I recommend the information in the following article named:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
You can also try closing all the open apps:
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 again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Hi my iPhone 5 constantly switches from silent to ringer and back again by itself. I've updated the software but its still doing it. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

Have you tried resetting it by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until it restarts?

The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

IPhone switches from play to pause randomly

When playing music on the iPhone it will randomly switch from play to pause then back to play again on its own. It behaves like this randomly and the time before it switches back to play is equally random from 2 sec to 15 sec. This is annoying. Anyone else experience this or have any idea as to the cause? I have version 2.0.1. TIA

One thing that might help out.
When you notice the iphone going from play to pause, is it when you are using the earbuds that came with the iphone or are you using a different pair.
The reason for this questions is if the earbuds become disconnected from the iphone it is supposed to pause. Or, is you squeeze the mic part way down the earbud cable it is supposed to pause.
Try wiggling the headphone jack in the iphone to see if you can produce this issue.
Also, try wiggling the cable around the mic on the cable to see if you can produce this issue.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know why my iphone keeps switching all of my alert tones and ringtones assigned to contacts? i restored it and it still keeps doing it and now when ever i get a txt or a phone call the tones just sound terrible. how do i fix this?

Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

the play and pause buttons in control center some times work and some times not !!!

Hi m-tillawy,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try a restart/reset of the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after that, I would attempt a reset of all settings as per this article:
Reset iPhone Settings - iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
Reset iPhone settings
Reset iPhone settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.

Play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player

when I want to watch a video noticed play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player.

For the two soundchannel sounds you have, you will need to keep track if and which one is playing so that you can use some logic to stop the sound right after you mark where the sound was (position) so that you can resume playing it again when the play button is selected.
So if the stroke sound is started, you could assign a boolean variable named something like 'strokeplaying' to be true (setting the other sounds similar boolean false). Then, in your pause function you would test to see if strokeplaying is true and if it is, store the position property and stop the channel playing.
When play is selected, similarly, you test if that sound is true and if so you restart it using the position value you stored as the starting point. You do the same for the other sound... remembering that it is possible neither is playing when pause it clicked.

HTML5/quicktime player plays and pauses several times a second

We've been getting some weird entries in our statistics logging on our streaming media system, and I've managed to not-so-much recreate the problem as be around when it occurs.
Playing about with the interface (scrubbing quickly, then playing/pausing repeatedly, etc) doesn't seem to trigger the problem - it just seems to happen occasionally after a few minutes of a player being open in full-screen mode.
The actual symptoms are the the stream suddenly starts pausing and playing incredibly quickly - upwards of 10 times a second - and you can see the play and pause buttons swapping incredibly quickly. We're not getting this problem with any other of our players, and we're using the iPad's built-in player, not our own HTML5 player, although I'm still not entirely convinced it isn't a bug with our servers.
The stream also seems to start looping, and as soon as it reaches the end of the stream it starts again, which is making me wonder if it's a bug with the UI itself, as if the play and pause buttons are getting triggered constantly, but changing the rotation doesn't stop it happening. I also wondered if it was something silly, like someone sneezing on the screen and the moisture triggering the touch screen, but that doesn't seem to be the problem either.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour before? I don't seem to be able to directly trigger it - it just seems to happen occasionally.
I'm trying to get a video of the symptoms, but it's not playing ball at the moment. If I can get it to do it again, I'll add a video example in a later post/edit.

Sometimes my play and pause button(F8) is not working.

I don't know why, sometimes the button of play and pause button is not working why?
do you have any advice or do you think is broken??

Try resetting the PRAM (if you are able to do so).
Otherwise, I would take it in for diagnosis.

Play and Pause button

Hello,
Because my playbar is disabled due to my pretest within my file I dont have a play and pause button.
i have created 2 buttons. One to pause the program and the other to play.
The problem is, once I click on the pause button, then on the play, then on the pause again - the pause button is disabled. in other words, i am only ever able to click on either one of the buttons once.
I have the 'infinite' button checked but i am still not sure why its not working.
-Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,
You didn't tell how you trigger pause/play with those 'buttons' - since you are on CP6 or later, use shape buttons that can be put on the master slides or timed for the rest of the project.

http://blog.lilybiri.com/toggle-shape-buttons
If you use a simple action (using the Action accordion), another possibility besides the excellent event-handler widget (only for SWF-output) is to replace it by a standard action: http://blog.lilybiri.com/why-choose-standard-over-simple-action

Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
