My Ipod starts playing in the middle of the night???

Can anyone help? For the last couple of nights, my Ipod has started playing during the middle of the night. I turn it off and put it on hold before I go to sleep but it is still happening?????

You most likely have the alarm set.
Check calender events also.

  • IPod starts playing when I unplug something from the headphone jack

    Greetings,
    I use Internet radio apps like Pandora and Live365. Often, when I stop the app and unplug the audio cable or earbuds, the iPod app will start playing the very first song (alphabetically speaking) in its library. At full volume, no less. So, I have to quickly hit the iPod button to bring it up, and then hit stop.
    It doesn't happen every time, and I can't figure out if there is a particular sequence of events that triggers it, or if it's just random. Anyone else experience this?
    Thanks,
    DM

    Due to various hardware issues, I'm on my 4th phone.
    Each and every one has displayed this same "unplug and spill one's audio secrets" behavior, usually with incredibly annoying, embarrassing (I have weird, rather personal music tastes, never mind my preference in Podcasts), and potentially battery-draining results (if I leave the phone on my desk and attend a meeting for, say, an hour).
    I've "reset" the phone/s (for this and other reasons) and this "feature" of the iPod turning on when I unplug the ear buds has persisted.
    I have third-party earbuds (but it happened during all the time I used the Apple ear buds, too). They're the "Ultimate Ears MetroFi 200v" set; they sound great, but the "talk" button is not nearly as cleverly placed as with Apple's (it's too low-- near my belly-button-- and it also protrudes considerably).
    The catch-22 for me is that if I just wrap my earbuds around the phone and shove it in my pocket, the button will activate at some point, and I'll find that the iPod has been playing for an hour... if I just yank the buds out (like I WANT to, and ought to be able to), the iPod starts playing, usually at the the loudest volume (leftover from whatever onion-chopping or laundry-folding activity saw me last listening to the phone out loud).
    So, it's a bad feature. No option (that I can see) to disable it. A glitch? From Apple? C'mon... all FOUR of my phones have been otherwise perfect, lol...
    Sorry for the long rant wherein I didn't even suggest any possible fixes. I'm just glad to have found others experiencing this problem, and glad that I am not the only one who hasn't found a solution.

  • When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

    My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.  First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

    You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it.  After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again.  As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

  • How can I get the tracks on my Ipod to play at the same volume

    I want the tracks on my ipod to play at the same volume - does anyone know how to do this? Is it done in itunes or on my Ipod (or can't I do this)

    Plug your device in
    In itunes on the left hand side click on the Disclosure triangle - it will show your playlists from your device
    Right click on each playlist and click Export-
    After exporting them to your comptuer you can import those playlists in to itunes

  • How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play?

    How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play? At the moment, each artist in the album is being separated and I can't play them together. For example, to play the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Nile Rodgers, etc. are some of the artists featured. However, in the Albums category, they are each separate choices. I want to play them all together, but can't. Is there a way to do that?

    It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes.  Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number.  For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
    Song: <Song Title>
    Artist: <Song Artist>
    Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
    Genre: Soundtrack
    I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names.  Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

    Hi everyone!
    I will be posting this in all "weird sounds topics" just so you know.
    These "weird" sounds you hear are from pacman.
    Today is Pacmans 30:th birthday and google wanted to celebrate by making the pacman game playable at their website "www.google.com".
    You will notice that their logo is changed to pacman with the map swapped out to the text "google".
    The game will probably just be here today so all noises will be gone by tomorrow. If you don't want to hear the sound today then please don't visit google or just turn your volume down.
    Yours sincerely: LAwLz

  • Our iPad air keep kicking out of the Apple TV. None of the other iPads we have on the same network and the same content do this. The program kicks off the AppleTV and starts playing on the iPad about every 10 minute

    We have used the 2 Apple TVs and the 5 different IPads successfully on both Apple TVs. But the iPad air, on the same content, on the same network, on the same Apple TV drops off the Apple TV and the content starts playing on the iPad. When we choose Apple TV on the AirPlay button, it starts playing on the TV again. It does this about 6-7 times an hour. We have the latest software update. We have also deleted and reinstalled the App to play the context (iView) and it still does this.

    Hey there TandViv,
    It sounds like your other iPads work correctly when Airplaying to your Apple TV, but one disconnects about ever 10 mintues or so. I have a few thoughts for this issue you are seeing. First, try closing all the 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 restart the phone and test it again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists try resetting the network settings on the phone and see how that works:
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Why does my Ipod start playing music when I set it on the Speaker dock?

    Everytime I set it on the speaker dock it starts playing the same song without pushing any buttons, even when I just want to charge the Ipod.

    Are you using the remote that came with the Apple TV? If so, on the Mac open System Prefs > Security and Privacy and click the "advanced" button. Select the option to "disable remote control infrared receiver" and click OK and close Sys Prefs.

  • Start playing from the middle of a playlist?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering how to start playing from an arbitray song in a playlist on iTunes.  When you go to a playlist, you see a play button next to the title of the playlist on the upper left corner of the playlist pane.  If you press it, iTunes starts from the first song of the playlist.  What do you do when you want to start from a song in the middle and continue to play songs in the order of the playlist?
    I selected the song from which I want to start and pressed the play button on the upper-left corner, but iTunes started to play from the top of the list.  When I double-clicked on the song, iTunes started to play the song but it stopped at the end of the album, not at the end of the playlist.
    iTunes 11.1.3 (8).
    Regards,
    Ryo

    Oh hi... seemed like I've got the problem fixed. :") For this particular case, just get the server side to stream the video to the clients (possibly one instance is created for each IP address, if resources allow). The server can quickly seek to any particular position within the media clip, and start streaming from there. The clients' players just need to listen to the stream from the appropriate instance on the server.
    JMF can do the streaming just fine. I've switched to VLC before I knew that, so now I'm having problem making the JMF on the client work with the VLC streaming. This is weird, considering the streaming protocol to be identical. But I should get that fixed soon.
    Thanks anyway! Hope this helps someone.

  • IPod starts playing album on the SECOND song

    hey all,
    this isn't a totally consistent problem, but quite frequently, my 4th generation iPod (non-video) will start playing albums at the SECOND song, forcing me to skip back to the first song to hear the album from the beginning. has anyone else had this problem? it has NOT improved with any iPod Updates. any suggestions for a fix? it's not a huge problem, but would be nice to not have to deal with it. thanx a bunch!

  • IPod stops playing in the middle of any song

    I recently dropped my iPod (black and white screen with click wheel, 20 GB) and the front seperated from the back. It easily snapped back in place, but now when the earphone jack moves while plugged up, it pauses. I know that it is supposed to pause when earphones are unplugged while playing, but not while it is still fully plugged in. I am not under warranty from Apple anymore. Anyone with any suggestions or options please respond.

    Even if you were under Apple's warranty, they probably wouldn't fix it for you because it was dropped. Anyway... sounds like the iPod is pausing because the headphones are coming out (like you said). Now, I'm not too sure about the anatomy of the 3rd generation iPods. If you mean that there is a problem with the headphone jack staying in place in the iPod... you might want to try putting your iPod into a skin case, to keep the jack still in the iPod. This might prevent (or at least lessen) the problem.

  • Ipod starts playing when off

    For some reason my Ipod seems to turn itself on and start playing music by itself. I have been sleeping only to be woken up in the middle of the night from music coming from my Ipod. It seems to be playing music from a playlist but it does not always use the same playlist.
    Has anyonr else had this problem? Is it a software or hardware problem? How can I fix this?
    Thanks

    You most likely have an alarm set.
    To check go to extras/clock/alarm and set it to off. Check the calendar also, extras/calendar/alarm.

  • IPod starts playing Randomily

    A unique feature of my iPod I've just discovered recently.
    It will randomily start playing a shuffled playlist of 359 songs for no reason at all when left on its own - even after I have turned it off. I suddenly hear music in my room because it has a "mind" of it own.
    And no, there is no alarm set!

    Does anyone have any ideas this is bloody annoying - especially since the battery keeps dying because of this.
