My iPod stopped playing music...

Well.... Last night, i took my iPod out of it's protective case thingy, and in order to do so, i needed to plug out my earphones.
after i did that, i plugged the Ipod into a wall charger to charge it (duh)
but now, after i plugged the earphones in again, it stopped playing in the Left one.
it also plays bad at the right one. i have tried to restore it, and stuff, but it didn't help....
Shall i take my iPod to repair, or can it be fixed in other ways?

It is not the haedphones..... i tried with like 3 differrent ones, and they dont woork in the iPod, but in my pc or cellphone....
It is the iPod.... maybe the thing i put the earphones in has broken from the inside?

My ipod touch will not stop playing music

My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

IPod 20GB Click Wheel Stops Playing Music

All,
All of a sudden, my iPod 20GB Click Wheel just stops playing music in the middle of songs. I have to hit the play button and restart it. It's pausing the song. It does this periodically/randomly. Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
TC

The folder with an exclamation point is often a software issue on the iPod. The best troubleshooting step for this error is to restore the iPod.

If it still is not working after the restore, you'll probably need to set up a dispatch at the following website.

I have a brand new ipod nano and I am wondering why it stops playing music if I let it sit to long with out pressing the stop and it has a battery life

So I just got an Ipod nano from apple and I decided to pop it in and listen to it but if I do not use the touch screen for more than like a minute, it turns itself off and stops playing music. why?

This is usually an indication that the headphones are not plugged all the way in. The white part of the headset should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the jack should still be seen. The newer headphone jacks on the 6G Nanos are a bit tighter than in previous generations and require just a bit of extra force to pop them all the way in.

My ipod touch stopped playing music in the middle of a song and now stops playing music. It says that it's playing a song but i don't hear anything. I've tried turning it off and on and restoring it's settings.

So like the title (which i thought was suppose to be a question to tech support) suggests, my ipod touch has stopped playing any audio sound. I've turned it off and on and restored it to it's default settings and still nothing. If it helps, it stopped playing music a few minutes after i accidently had some water on it.

- First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
- The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Try both headphones and speaker.
- If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

I have an ipod touch 1st gen 32 GB. It stops playing music randomly. The battery has been replaced and I've tried restoring iOS 3.1.3 as a clean install but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The battery died so I had it replaced. Now it stops playing music (It was doing this before with the old battery when plugged into power cable)... it won't even make it through a whole track. I have tried turning off and on, turned off autolock and restored several times to 3.1.3 with no apps, just music but the problem persists.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-)

IPod stops playing and gives apple symbol with weird colors.

My IPod was in my pocket for only about 2 minutes and it stopped playing music and gave me a weird apple symbol and blue with white shading every where like it encountered a virus or something. It goes back shortly after but it keeps happening. Is this a known issue with the newer IPod Classic? Do I have to restore my IPod? I have had this IPod for about a year. Any ideas of what is going on??

Maybe try restoring your ipod. Some of the files could have become corrupted.
Hope this helps...

IPod stops playing when using Safari

Ever since I updated to 1.1.2, everytime I'm listening to the iPod and open Safari to surf, the iPod stops playing after about a minute or two. The song isn't over, and its not at the end of the playlist. The music doesn't fade out either, like its receiving a call or email. Just straight up cuts out. I tried restarting the phone, which helped the first time, but now it starting doing it again. I've searched for answers elsewhere, to no avail. Thanks!

I had heard about this for quite awhile, but never experienced it. Then the other day I was sitting outside an Apple Store, listening to some music and decided to take advantage of the free wifi for a moment. Suddenly every song would stop everytime a page loaded or a I used the back button. Totally reproduceable.
I held down the start/off button and turned off my iPhone, waited a few seconds, turned it back on, and the problem went away -- at least for the time beling.
Sorry I don't know a permament solution, but that did work for me.

IPhone 4S stops playing music

Hi, my iPhone 4S randomly (or so I thought) stops playing music but still rings when a call connects and beeps when an email comes in. The on screen volume controls would disappear and the side volume button stopped working too. I have seen many many comments on google/apple etc by people with this same issue. Some people have even gone to the extent of writing blogs about this issue too. I had an old iPod 4 when they first came out and after about a year it developed the same problem. It had been a bit misused by my then young children and assumed it was our fault but when it happened on my 6 month old iPhone 4S I thought it was odd.
I initially blamed my recent software update to iOS 5.01 and hard reset the phone 3 separate times with varying temporary success (if you try a hard reset remember to back up first or you lose everything) I took it to an apple store and the assistant said he'd heard about the issue and after checking all my settings were ok he performed a soft reset which worked until.....I plugged my iphone back into its docking station.
I read a couple of threads online about the iPhone thinking it was in docking station mode and decided to gently poke a thin implement into the dock opening. Immediately and with the smallest of tweaks the volume controls appeared back on screen and my music played. It only appeared briefly but with a little more wriggling of the implement the control came back and so far has stayed put.
Apple want to charge 20 dollars for tech support calls but I've requested a call back for 'one off hardware faults' which makes the conversation free. I want to see what they have to say about what appears to me to be an inbuilt hardware problem. I'll keep you posted here. Beware that if you tinker with your equipment you could invalidate any warranty etc. I'm quite appalled that apple seem to have complete disregard for a their hardware failure and when we, as customers, pay top money for Their products we should expect top quality goods. The hardware should not be routinely confused by periphal hardware or lack thereof. Not good apple.
If you're reading this thread I assume you have the same problems and I wish you good luck. Maybe if we all call their support line (selecting the one off free call option) they might start to listen and do something about it......

I am on my 2ndiPhone 4s (in less than a week) and BOTH have had this stop-start music issue…
I got a new one last night when my original 4s (received on Wednesday 11/02/11) would not play alerts, keyboard clicks, music, or videos without the ear buds or Bluetooth (after nearly a dozen hard restarts, one restore through iTunes and a “deep” restore for the firmware at the Apple store). After I got my replacement, I was told at the Apple store not to sync through iTunes anymore if I am using iCloud because that would contribute to the problem?!?!?! I thought maybe it’s an iCloud problem because it needs a strong Wi-Fi connection which I don’t have here at the office…
I hope this is just a software fix because I am tired of all of these problems. 5 iPhones, 5 iPods and this iPhone (4s) is the worst... Apple, please get that operating system upgrade out FAST!

Ipad 2 ipod stops playing for no reason

recently the ipod on my ipad 2 stops playing music mid-song for no apparent reason... I haven't actually change anything or done anything unusual to it, so not sure what could be causing this?
Thanks!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
