My music keeps stopping after only a few seconds of playing.

Tried hard reset, which worked temporarily. I don't think it's contaminated files because it stops regardless of source(iTunes, spottily, youtube, etc.) please advise

Hello Thadewd,
Thank you for providing the details regarding the audio issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. If you have tried a reset and it only temporarily worked, the next step is to restore your iPhone. You can find the steps to restore your iPhone in the following article:

I'm just downloaded the creative cloud installer. Double click on the install file, it starts the installation and after only a few seconds it stops and nothing happens. What is going on?

why does the cloud installer quit after only a few seconds of install?

I am having the same problem. Sorry I don't know an answer but would love help too.
I'm on a Mac - OSX10.9.3
Downloaded installer which opened to the point that I had the icon in my toolbar but it seemed to get stuck at that point - about 7 hours of scrolling "update cycle" (swirly thing in middle of the empty CC window) but no App tab or other tabs - just a white rectangle with scrolling.
So I tried un-installing, deleted all files, downloaded again but now I get the same as Scrapnick - installer launches with task bar at "Initializing Installer" which lasts only about 2 seconds, then flicks to "Dowloading Creative Cloud desktop" at which point the task bar & the installer window close.
I hope someone can help us with this...

Video both in source window and edit window stops after just a few seconds. It also runs slow after a few seconds. I don't if the problem is the fact that it;'s a Vimeo down load. Any one got a suggestion as to why?

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

After Mountain Lion install, internet videos stop playing back after only a few seconds. Multiple browsers are affected.

After I installed Mountain Lion, videos streamed from the internet will stop playback after a few seconds of play. Multiple browsers are being affected.

I have this same problem, and I did a clean installation.
Hardware:
2009 MacBoook Pro 17" 3.06 C2D; 4 GB RAM, 256 Apple SSD
While loading the browser is quick starting up, I notice a delay to open any website, like it's preloading the entire page versus just loading. Safari seems like it's a bit sluggish overall with loading web pages.
Did a internet speed test and my U/D rates are the same after the upgrade.

Why does my ipad4 keep on locking even after only a few seconds?

Ipad 4 keeps on locking while using an app

Is it one particular app or any random app? It really helps to be specific when you post your questions. The more information that you can supply, the better your chances are of getting meaningful suggestions.
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first.
Close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

IPod Touch disconnects after only a few seconds

I just bought a iPod Touch yesterday and updated it with the new January software upgrade (Apple Mobile Device 1.1.3.26).
My PC has WinXP Pro with SP 2, iTunes 7.6.0.29 and QuickTime 7.4 installed. I have reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime in an attempt to resolve this problem.
The problem is that after successfully copying around 10 to 40 songs the device disconnects and the following 2 errors show up:
First error: "The iPod "X" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Second error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "X" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored the iPod Touch to the original settings to see if there was a problem with the device but the issue persists.
I also ran the iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests from iTunes, the results are below:
|** iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests **

I have also tried using 2 separate USB 2.0 connections on the PC and the results are the same.
Finally I have an original iPod Nano that syncs fine with the current PC I am using.
I would really like to get this thing working, please help!

I'm not sure getting a Mac will solve this issue. The number of people having similar issues on Macs appears proportionately in line with Win users. Having said that, a switch will certainly result in a more pleasant and vastly more efficient user experience.
If you can get your hands on another usb/iPod cable, you might give it a try. Of the 4 usb/iPod cables in this house, only one is capable of getting my Touch recognized by my G4. To get that one to work it has to go in with a scraping sound/feel to it.
Make sure your drives don't fall asleep. This will generate the error messages you are getting. Though it strikes me as bizarre, I've noted that the sync and update process does not prevent my drives going into sleep mode. When that happens I get either of the error messages you got.
Most important in my case was there were image files that, although worked fine in iPhoto, Graphic Converter and Elements, would consistently cause an aborted sync. I batch resaved about 6,000 image files and have had no syncing problems since then.
I solved connection problems by simply plugging and unplugging the iPod end of the cable until it connects.

HP TouchSmart 23SE d-394; Broadcom Wi-Fi drops connectons after only a few seconds to a minute

Only 6 months old; has had the problem on and off - mostly on - since day 1, but didn't notice as much early as seems to last lots longer when Surface is connected to same wi-fi source at same time, which is how I'm able to stay connected long enough to ask this question.
Using an AT&T broadband anywhere NetGear "MiFi" unit.
Surface Pro 1 stays connected w/ no problem.
Wi-Fi card = Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter
o/s = Win 8.1, with update
I went into device mgr, checked for latest drivers, and Windows reported best drivers are already present.
Anyone else have this kind of problem? Any ideas?
It's very frustrating, any help or direction would be hugely appreciated.
Thx!
p.s. I only realized that whole "Surface connection" relationship today...

HT1725 some of my songs are interrupted, then i 'resume download' but when the songs finally downloads, and i go to play it, the song clips off after only a few seconds

is there any way to delete the album and re-download it? once it's already been compltely downloaded. so many of my songs are only a second or two long because they didnt download properly or something. i've paid for the album so i'd really like to be able to listen to these songs!!!

Hello janefrommb,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You are on the right track, the best troubleshooting step here would be to re-download your purchases. The following article outlines how to do so:

Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs

I'm not sure when this problem started, but recently I've noticed that my Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs. Sometimes it stops after only a few songs, or up to as many as 40 - 50. When I'm trying to sync 700 songs, this is a hassle. Any clues?

Are you certain that the syncing actually stops? Does the ATV disappear from iTunes when this happens?
(As I mentioned on another thread, I thought that my syncing was stopping because the ATV was disappearing from iTunes, but I've subsequently learned that the sync does continue, even after the ATV blips out.)

Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase

HP Deskjet 4180
Genuine HP Tri-Color #22 ink cartridge and Black #21 ink cartridge
Windows 7
Test printing from Photoshop, Windows Picture Viewer and GIMP.
Some colors in the HP tri-color cartridges dry up and stop working only a few weeks after purchase.
The experience that I'm having currently contradicts very good, accurate color from HP cartridges in the past from RGB images that I've printed successfully with this printer. I've previously got excellent color from the true HP ink cartridges on this Deskjet 4180 printer.
But today it is obvious that the yellow is not flowing from this cartridge that was installed only a few weeks ago. And my ink levels are at 50 percent, and they were even higher when I started today... see the screenshots below.
I'm printing from Photoshop, but for some tests I tried printing from two other applications today but I'm always getting these results that indicate that there is no yellow printing... this is much worse than just a bad color profile. I'm an experienced photo retoucher and I have a long history of dealing with inkjet printing in the work place with all kinds of printers.
I know that inks can dry up in their cartridges if they don't get printed with every few weeks and if the printer isn't maintained. I purchased these new cartridges only about three weeks ago and the first test prints and some prints two weeks ago came out perfect.
But today this is the result I'm getting... screenshots below show the original RGB image and an actual scan of the bad print results I'm getting, indicating that no yellow is flowing from the HP tri-color cartridge. And a screenshot of the ink level indicator panel is at the bottom.
Why is the yellow ink drying up and not flowing so quickly? How can I prevent this besides doing semi-weekly prints to keep the inks from drying up? I'm in a fairly humid climat, so dry air is not the problem. The contact points on the cartridge are clean.
Does HP guarantee their cartridges for this kind of thing?
Good color - original RGB image...
Bad color - actual scan of bad print with no yellow, below...
Ink levels after test printing...
Thanks for any help.

Well, here is the answer I was looking for, only arrived at by way of my own further investigation and experimentation.
It seems that no matter who I asked about this problem, I always got the same questions and answers.
For example, the people at the HP 800 number for consumer help, where it seemed I was not talking to someone who was actually familiar with the product, because they came to the conclusion that I need to buy a new HP printer... wow, isn't that a big surprise for an HP employee to say, "Just buy a new one!".
No one, and I mean no one, would seem to be able to listen to or understand what I wrote in my original question on this thread about how this printer prints fine when I first put in a new ink cartridge, and then just a few weeks later one or two of the colors seem to be dried up and they won't print.
And it seems that somewhere I read that you need to print a test maintenance print every month or so to keep the inks from drying up... but the inks seem to be drying up in less than three weeks now, even though I used to be able to go for months without doing a print and the inks would still be fine.
So when I was talking to someone in India, Malaysia or the Philippines at the HP 800 customer phone support number, after going through so much crap about whether this printer was still in warranty just to have a simple question answered you'd think I was trying to launch nuclear missiles and my launch codes weren't current.
And it was much the same situation to get on HP's "Live Chat" customer service on the net, and then they'd go through the same line of questions and answers as the support people on the HP 800 phone line...
Q: "Do you have dirty nozzles on your ink cartridges?"
A: "No, like I said in my original statement, I cleaned those and they weren't dirty to begin with."
Response: "Because you need to clean those every so often, you know."
Q: "Did you try cleaning the contacts on the cartridges?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I already did that."
Response: "Because you need to clean those contacts every so often, you know."
Q: "Did you try putting in a new cartridge?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, this cartridge is nearly new and it shows a 90% ink level."
Response: "Because you need to put in new cartridges when the ink runs out, you know."
Q: "Did you do a test print?"
A: "Yes, like I said in my original statement, I did a test print and that's what is telling me that the yellow and magenta are not printing any longer."
Response: "Because that's how you can tell if any colors aren't printing, you know."
So is anyone else seeing a pattern here? It's not like I'm talking or live chatting with a real human being, but maybe an automated voice prompt system that only has an A, B, C or 1, 2, 3 type of response system that it's working from.
The people hear a answer, and regardless of what that question was in the troubleshooting category that they are in, they just have a stock response that seems to bypass what the customer's answer was, so it's like I'm talking or live chatting with a machine that is uttering its responses in a fixed pattern, regardless of what I'm saying.
HP customer service is like talking to someone who isn't listening, so often they ask their next question, but I just answered that question with my previous answer.
Like I said, the way it used to be, HP or even after market ink cartridges could sit for months without doing a maintenance print and I would still get a perfect print every time. And that's pretty typical for maybe an older person who isn't printing prints that often, but they just want to print one every few months or so, like my mom, with her HP printer, who I've been troubleshooting this problem for.
Or even with my own large format Epson printer or any of the pro level inkjet printers and even IRIS printers that I've used in the workplace over the course of the last 20 years... you could do a print every two months and there was no problem with dried up inks.
And I know somewhere in the past I read that the maintenance print that the instructions was recommending be printed only needed to be done every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the inks from drying up, although when I go through the entire full blown PDF instruction manual now I can't find ANYTHING about how often a maintenance print needs to be done... that's right, nothing!
But on Christmas eve I once again exchanged my last, dried up HP tri-color ink cartridge at a Walgreens store where my mom had purchased it months prior (and the guy was nice enough to exchange it even after 5 months) which was yet another HP tri-color ink cartridge that had at least two of it's colors dry up after only a few weeks. At that Walgreens they had been nice enough to replace three prior HP tri-color ink cartridges with the same problem in the last year, and before that three different after market, off brand tri-color ink cartridges from another store had dried up after only a few weeks.
So the guy at Walgreens told me that now with HP cartridges you need to do a maintenance test print EVERY WEEK in order to keep the inks from drying up... THAT'S EVERY WEEK YOU ARE NOW SUPPOSED TO DO A TEST PRINT FOR MAINTENANCE.
Now, you DO NOT need to do one of the test prints where it prints a photo of a pear, which uses quite a bit of ink, but you can just do one of the self test prints where you hold down on the CANCEL button and then press the COLOR COPY button and it prints a quick test page with just a little color and a lot of B&W text, and that's apparently enough.
And that seems to be enough to keep the ink cartridges from drying up, the way they seem to be otherwise doing so quickly now, as opposed to how HP and other brand ink cartridges used to.
And in fact, now after about a month, after doing weekly self test prints, the ink cartridges are still flowing well and they just did some full color prints quite nicely... ALERT THE MEDIA AND ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS THEMSELVES HP PRINTING EXPERTS!
So the questions I would ask myself are these...
First, why is it that NO ONE at HP customer service knew this, whether it be on the HP 800 phone support or on the HP "Live Chat" with people in India, Malaysia and the Philippines, or even here on the HP Help Forum with so-called EXPERTS from HP?
Second, how have the inks changed so that in the past, you didn't need to do maintenance prints every week, but maybe every two months at the most, in order to keep the inks from drying up, but now the inks dry up in a matter of less than two weeks unless a maintenance print is done once a week?
Have HP and other ink makers changed the formula of their inks so they dry up much faster, forcing people to buy new cartridges when the last ink cartridge is still at a 90% level with dried up ink?
And as a result, are people on the HP 800 customer phone support line and on HP "Live Chat" telling people that they need to buy a new printer, when in actuallity their ink cartridges are just drying up within a new record short period of time?
You tell me, HP experts.

Music streaming stops after a few songs

I've read posts here on similar Home Sharing issues, here's mine. My iTunes library is on a networked HD, while iTunes itself is on a Windows laptop. The laptop and ATV are connected to the network wirelessly. The ATV usually finds my library, but when streaming music it stops after a couple songs. The only option is to then back out to the menus and reconnect (then, again, it'll play a couple songs and stop). If I connect both the laptop and ATV via ethernet and take it off wireless, will that help? Any other suggestions?

I am hardwired to my network. After an hour or so my ATV Gen 2 stops streaming from my Imac Itunes? Under my computers on the ATV the library disappeared. If I down power the ATV it reappears and will eventually stop streaming and disappears again. I have home sharing turned on and have tried other things people have said on discussions. I have the firewall turned off, I have opened the necessary ports on my router ( D-Link DIR 825), turned off sleep mode on ATV and Imac, turned off screen savers on Imac. I can't understand why it would stop if it can connect and stay connected. It is as if there is something timing out.

I used to able to watch movies, TV series on youtube for more than 20 minute straight. In last few days, somehow it stopped after only 1-2 minutes. What is wrong with my iPhone 4S? I even updated youtube.

That would indicate an issue with the local network, not internet. This can impact devices differently and will likely be more obvious on a streaming only device.
If you are on wifi try ethernet
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Movie keeps stopping after 45 clicks

Hi,
My flash movie keeps stopping after I've clicked 45 times and
I've no idea why. There are lots of buttons on the page and when
you click them they count how many times the buttons has been
clicked and display this in a dynamic text box underneath the
button. Not very exciting I know, but very useful at school. When
I've clicked one button 45 times or a combination of buttons adding
up to 45 the movie goes white (my buttons disappear). I'm quite new
to flash so sorry if this is really basic.
Thanks,
Zoro

Thanks for replying kglad.
I've just realised what the problem is! I've only got 45
frames on my timeline and the code includes nextFrame so when it
gets to the end it doesn't know what to do. Dhurrr! I can sort that
out. Sorry to have troubled you.
Best wishes,
Zoro

My music keeps stopping after only a few seconds of playing.
