My ipod pause's number of times durning a song

When i play a song it starts to play than during the song all of the sudden with me not touching a thing, of the ipod it will pause's on me. I press the play button and it will play some more of the song than it will do it again.
Plz help me

I'm just going to copy&paste what I recommended to another person that was having trouble with the iPod pausing:
If these are freezing while playing only specific playlists, I'd try recreating the iTunes Library as described in article: 93313 to see if maybe it was an issue with the content. Do you notice specific songs are being affected more than others (if you got some through CDs and some through Limewire or the iTunes store or something).
Try restoring the iPod after this, and see if the issue persists.
Another thing you might want to try out, before going through that other troubleshooting would be to try keeping the hold switch on while playing the content, sometimes it recognizes that the headphones are being disconnected and makes the song pause. I've seen it happen before.
Hope I helped out.

30gb ipod pauses music all the time????

I've been having this problem for about 6 months where the ipod will just pause its self when i'm walking but it mostly happens when i'm snowboarding. i've managed to determin that its the plug into the ipod, when its moved around, not unpluging just like left or right, it'll pause the song. does anyone know if there is a setting that will pause songs if it detects movement and if so how to turn it off, before i end up throwing the ipod off a cliff?

see if this helps
u]For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

Although my ipod shows the number of steps, calories, and time, it no longer is saving it to the history. also when I open the history it takes me to May 2010 instead of the current date. Any ideas on how to get it to start recording the history again?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

How do i move my 'number of times played' from iPod Nano 4G to iPod Classic?

I've had an iPod Nano 4th Gen for the past 4 years. I recently got an iPod Classic for Xmas.
I'm a bit fussy & would like to transfer all the data across from iPod Nano to iPod Classic ... and this includes data such as number of times each song has been played. Preferably for free too.
How can i do this?
The closest i've come to a suggestion online is to plug them both in to iTunes & then "drag & drop". Just to point out - this does not work.

Despite the fiend's confident manner and his curt correction, I believe he is very mistaken about this. I sensed this was baloney and kept looking, to find a thread in which the same is discussed for iPhone, but it worked on my Classic iPod as well. (I don't mean to get overly down on a.f, but one should be careful and try to be sure before telling someon they can't do something that seems like a basic function that should by all reason be possible - Not that all lack of reason doesn't often apply to these products...)
How to transfer playlist from iPhone to iTunes 11.1.3?
The procedure described here did work for me, but know this: if I hadn't somehow actively saved an on-the-go list long ago (and forgotten,) I never would have known, because although I have been selecting tons of tracks for "on the go," apparently it erases all lists when you power down, unless you do that deliberate save. That's right; c beyond all sense of reason (case in point of above) the iPod does not continue to save selections in one growing on-the-go list unless you save it before shut-off. Saving auto names that list and starts over. So while I would like to have one big list in which to save all songs for future DJ choices, I will have to have a new list for every time I select even one single song before power off, or POOF gone. Wish I'd known that before, I stupidly assumed 100 or more songs were saved cause I never checked.
Check it out and see if it works for you. Cheers. And no offense A.F.
I guess considering how tedious and dysfuntional this is (also not a first for Apple,) I will find another way to earmark tracks on the fly, like use a star rating which I've never really used with consistency. You might consider the same if you have similar purposes. If you're sitting down and deliberately making a specific list all at once, save it and you should be good to "go."

Does anyone know if there is a way for the number of time a song has been played on your iPhone/iPod be transferred to the songs on your iTunes number of plays?

I mainly just use my iTunes for organizing and adding new songs. Most of the time I listen to my music on my iPhone. I wish it would keep track of how many times I play a song in my music and transfer it to the computer under the 'number of times played' column. It would help out so much! Does anyone know if there is a way for the number of time a song has been played on your iPhone/iPod be transferred to the songs on your iTunes number of plays?

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

IPod stolen can I get it to be flagged with its serial number next time it's synced?, iPod stolen can I get it to be flagged with its serial number next time it's synced?

iPod was stolen, is it possible to get it flagged via Serial number next time it's synced to load songs by the thief?
Many thanks, it's my son's, was my son's, and I dunno what to do

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
No you need to have turned on FIndMyiP{od
The SN will only help identify the iPod as your if it is recovered.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

Ipod stuck in DFU mode and was restore a number of times it shows me that it cant be restored.

What happens when you try to restore the iPod? Error messages?

Why can't iTunes track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes?

I was wondering Why, if your iPod is stolen, iTunes cannot track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes.. I've had my iPod touch almost a year now and it is registered in my name and everything. This past weekend someone somehow got into my car while at a concert and stole my purse, my ipod, my friend's ipod and wallet. I didn't think to file a police report because I figuered there would be nothing they can do. Since, a lot of people buy and sell iPods all of the time from one another instead of from a store. I thought to let it go, but it keeps haunting me, someone has access to a lot of my person information. This hit me when at work, I was using Pandora internet radio, and someone deleted all of my radio stations and added their own. They are still using it till this day and I have no clue what to do, I've changed my password to Pandora even. I know it's being used via my iPod from my Pandora app, I regreat not downloading the new ios5 on my iPod... So, I really have no further idea of what to do. I contacted Pandora in hopes they could change my account password or delete it or something, I just hope they haven't used any thing else important. I really wish it were possible for iTunes to track an iPods Serial number when the iPod is either synced to iTunes / iTunes store.. If it were possible, I wish they could help me out and at least lock my prior iPod or hopefully delete everything from that.. I don't have much hope in this though :/

Thanks for the suggestions... tried tehm but no luck so I've taken it back. I think I'll try a Samsung (only other ones I've found with a Sleep Function) and move to Audible instead of iTunes. A shame after years of iTunes use but I shouldn't have to spend days getting a product to work. Thanks again.

Looping a movie clip a specific number of times in Flash

Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline. Does anyone know the code for this?
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline. Please let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks,
Sarah
P.S. Is there a good, easy to use, reference book anyone can recommend for creating specific things in Flash using Action Script? Do you guys have a favorite for beginners like me?

You can use a variable to keep count of how many times you loop, and until it exceeds a particulr value (2 or 3) you execute a setTimeout() call that waits for however long you want to delay and then tells the movieclip to gotoAndPlay(1).
So in the first frame you would establish the counting variable...
var count;
if(count == undefined){ // only set it to 0 once
count = 0;
and in the last frame you would do your incrementing and control....
stop();
count += 1;
if(count < 3){
setTimeout(waitABit, 2000); // call function in 2 secs
function waitABit(){
gotoAndPlay(1);

IPod Pauses On Hold In Pocket.. Why?

I use my 5G iPod at work, mostly. It stays in my pocket so when I sit down, it presses against the side of my leg. It seems there's some sort of magic combination of buttons that makes the iPod pause when held down. It's not the headphone connector, I've tested just holding down all the buttons on the click wheel midsong and it does it every time. Has anyone else discovered this? It's really annoying.

Yea, numerous times.I've put it on hold, held it with two hands and pressed down the entire click wheel with both thumbs, not even hard, and it pauses, so I have to unhold it and unpause. It seems to be a built-in function, unless I have a defective iPod and only mine does it.

IPOD PAUSES RANDOMLY

I have a problem with my Ipod, actually it's becoming a big issue. My Ipod stops randomly when using other headphones than those from apple.
I read on the internet that a lot of people is experiencing this problem but Apple makes nothing to solve it. Even people is getting new Ipods from Apple and the problem persists.
Does anybody how to deactivate that feature that makes the Ipod to pause if the earphones are unplugged? Any other idea?
Best regards,
Antonio.

All non-Ipod issued headphones have been "problematic" for me. Unfortunately, I do not have the option of staying away from these problematic headphones as suggested by Apple support (what kind of support is that?) as the standard issues do not fit in my ears.
I now actually despise my Ipod. I used it for exercising all the time before I upgraded to Photo 60G. Now my afternoon jog consists of hitting play, hold, putting away in my hip pouch, walking a foot, Ipod pausing, digging out, take off hold, hit play, put on hold, put away and REPEATING as necessary. Needless to say, I don't make it very far these days and I'm in a bad mood after to boot. And no, my headphones have never actually come unplugged as has been suggested is what sets off this feature.
Glad the extra money I spent went into such a well thought out and obviously untested with 3rd party headphones feature.
You know they will take this off or allow it to be disabled in the next generation, until then the problem will continue to be ignored. I JUST WANT MY OLD IPOD BACK!
In the meantime, Ill continue to spread word about this problem. STICK WITH THE TRIED AND TRUE Ipods, don't get new generation/photos.

Number of times you can sync to a new library?

My work computer was stolen this week for the second time and I'm wary of syncing my ishuffle to my home computer again because I'm sure the last time it warned me that you could only change the library it was associated to a specific number of times.
Since I know I've changed it at least 3 times, I'm concerned I won't have enough left to convert to my home computer temporarily until a new work one is delivered and then connect it to the new work one (my home computer doesn't have enough room to store any music on it, so I can't use it as a permament dock for all my music), this restricts the number of times I could swap it over.
So does anyone know the exact number of times you can switch between libraries?
And what happens after that - does your ishuffle stop working completely?
Also - if I connect it to my home computer to charge it temporarily, will this erase any songs in it (my home computer has been authorised to play the music I've purchased but there are other songs I've ripped from my CDs)?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

NOTHING.

In Settings UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" (don't forget to click "apply"). The NEXT time you connect the shuffle just to charge it. iTunes will NOT be involved (unless, of course, it's already running...).
Thanks for any help you can offer.

My iPod pauses/turns off during the same songs while docked in my speakers.

Why does my iPod pause during certain songs each time. Some are downloaded from iTunes and some are imported from CDs. I have deleted and reimported the ones from CDs, but it still happens. This is really agrivating and has nothing to do with the headphone jack because I am not using the headphones. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? It seems to be the same songs each time.

A few questions:
1. Do the songs play correctly in iTunes?
2. Have the songs ever played correctly on the iPod?
3. What format are the songs in? (Highlight the song in question in iTunes, then right click and do get info. Look at the summary tab. For example, here's a song a ripped long ago from CD into iTunes:
What do you see for the songs that are giving you trouble? Is there something common in the kind, bit rate, sample rate, or encoder that is different from the songs that work correctly?
