My iPod always forgets which song it played after a few hours.

Since I updated to iOS 6.0 my iPod 4G always forgets which song it already played in shuffle mode. It always starts to play the same song after it hasn't been used for a few hours. Now I'm having the most recent version and I still have the problem.

Restore iPhone with iTunes on your compter. When prompted "Set Up iPhone as New". See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

    Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

    A few possibilities...  (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
    (1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
    (2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging.  Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
    (3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
    (4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle.  Does it change from a power adapter?
    (5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system.  An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing).  If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge.  To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging?  If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen.  There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use.  If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply.  Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge).  If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use.  NOTE:  When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • How do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on?

    how do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on itunes?

    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If it's a Mac, try Senuti or Music Rescue.

  • Some songs only play for a few seconds.

    I am having trouble with some mp3 songs that I have imported to my iTunes library. The songs play fine with other media players, but on iTunes a few songs only play the first few seconds. It only happens with a few songs. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    See the start time and end time for the song. It is in "get info"->options
    In other words check the properties of the songs to see if it is set to play only for a certain duration. When it plays you can always slide the scrub pad to play the other non-playing sections (section outside of the play-duration set int he options).

  • 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.

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • "AU audio file player" stops playing after a few seconds

    Hi there,
    i use "AU audio file player" in my concert set up.
    It worked fine til yet, but now it just stops playing after a few seconds.
    The track is 3 minutes, but it stops suddenly.
    I tried to reload the tracks and tried loading the "AU audio fle player" into a new session,
    but it still stops playing in any of the sets.
    Any idea?
    Thank you very much, S

    Hi Susanna,
    I did not find a way to trigger it from the keyboard...
    So I decided the following: I made a short cut for QuicKeys which opens the AUAudioFilePlayer and starts the loop I need. A quick solution which works with just hitting one key on the computer and the loop player starts. This works pretty well with QuicKeys but not with MS, the problem: sometimes when I choose by double clicking the AUAudioFilePlayer a black window shows up and only the name is readable, nothing else. I have to close it, reopen it and then- perhaps- the AU shows up and I can push the play button. Do you now that problem?

  • Slow flash animations after a few hours playing

    Hi, i have recently developed a standalone Flash entertainment system, containing Flash games and screensavers etc., i have also included a third party mp3 player.
    The problem i have is the PC is left switched on daily and the system is used quite heavily, i.e mp3's playing in background while screen savers are displayed and games are played.
    Everything starts fine but after a few hours the flash animations slow down to about 2 or 3 frames per second, then the PC will finally crash.
    What may be causing this?

    Flash isn`t exactly a Pro when it comes to garbage collection. So a running application will constantly feed on your systems memory (it always goes up, never down). Best way to avoid these problems is, to make a task that every 2-3 hours closes tha application and restarts it. There is really nothing you can do about it codewise.

    1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
    Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
    2. Then apply these instructions:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Your problem should be 100% solved
