My IPOD on the Iphone wont stay open to play music!!!

I recently updated my Iphone 3gS. Now, I try to open the IPOD app to play music and it closes after 3-4 seconds. Help!

Not sure this is the right fix for you, because for me the iPod app would stay open, but not play music when selected. I read in another thread a solution that worked for me.
Basically, you need to delete the music from the phone and re-copy from iTunes with 2 syncs. In the music tab, uncheck the boxes in the playlist, artist and genre option, removing all music from the phone, then sync. Then, re-check the desired music to copy back to the phone and sync. Music should play now from the phone.
I echo the sentiment of another poster that iOS4 really is a disaster. Problem like this should have been solved before release.

I have elements 10, the organizer wont stay open for more that a minute, i open it closes.

Hi all, I have elements 10 and the darn organizer will not stay open for more than a minute, which makes useing the program a pain in the butt. does anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it. Im running XP on an older machine in which the edit part works fine.HELP

Hold down your Shift key while launching the Organizer to get to the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog at the bottom of the window, and choose "Repair". Repeat, using "Optimize".
If that doesn't solve it, from the Catalog Manager, create a new catalog (with a different name).

Ipod wont stay opened after 4.0 software download

After I downloaded the 4.0 software my iPod stopped working. The app will stay open for a few seconds and then shut down. It does it every time. The new update didn't help a thing. Anyone else having this problem? Anybody know what to do?

You still have not answered: Have you tried a reset? You should try this before a restore.
". If I backup my phone and then restore will I be able to install the backup?"
Yes, but if the problem persists then you would need to restore as new.
"and if so will all my apps still be there?"
They should be in itunes on your computer, so you would just re-sync them if need be.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Mac OS X v10.5: Does the Finder always stay open?

First off: sorry again for all the n00b questions.
Next: So does the finder always stay "open"? Like with the blue dot below it. I already asked about the others and I realized I have to click command+Q but for the finder... it just stays "open"
Oh and Is there a way to search on this forum? I know on the forum for my car ('97 Acura CL if anyones curious) there is a search function that all the n00bs are told to do before starting a new thread...

You can quit the Finder but the option is hidden by default in OS X. As the Finder is the way that you interact with OS X its default is to restart automatically if it's quit. For example if it locked up (never happened to me though) and you used Force Quit (alt - command - esc) it would restart automatically. Using a third party application like TinkerTool (which simply opens up more of OS X'x capabilities) you can quit the Finder for specific purposes.

How do I use the iPhone 4 charging station on my music player to charge my new iPhone 6? Is there an adaptor I can plug in?

Hi
I had an iPhone 4 and purchased various music devices which I could use to charge the iPhone 4 and my children's iPods. The iPhone has broken and so now I have an iPhone 6 which has the new charging cable. I'd still like to use the music devices I have which are fine apart from having a different charging wire. Is there an adapter available and does anyone have a clue what it's called?
Thanks for your time and advice.
C.

It's called a Lightning to 30-pin adapter, and is found, surprisingly, in the Apple Store. Choose your country.

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts. If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again. Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out. The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound. I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail. I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio. That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing. If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it. I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat. I've tried doing a reset of the phone. I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6. The problem appeared with both.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone. I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner. An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand. The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced. I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.
