My music stops out of nowhere

I posted this on the music/video forum but it seems kinda dead over there, so maybe you all can help me out.
Okay, so this is really frustrating me.
I'm on my couch listening to my music and browsing the web on Safari with my iPhone but my music keeps stopping. It'll play a few songs or sometimes only one song continuously and out of nowhere it'll cut off a song for no apparent reason. I didn't press stop, pause or anything. I tried putting it on shuffle to see if that would provide me some continuous music, but no luck. It's frustrating to have to stop what I am doing on Safari, go into the iPod menu, pick a song to only have it happen again. I haven't messed with the timings on any of my songs.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. After reading most of the proposed solutions I did what I could. I have 982 mb free, but it still will just stop a song right in the middle. So far it's only done it in safari, but its done it a few times already. Twice, in addition to stopping the music, it just shut down safari and took me back to the home screen, as if I'd hit the home button. I just returned an ipod touch for this because of the screen problems, and have to say that this didn't happen to me ONCE on the ipod touch, and freeing up some data DID seem to give me more time before the music stopped.
I hope this is a problem that can be fixed with another update. I'm having a hard time shaving any more music off of my playlist. I'm running the ipod audio along for a couple hours straight to see if the memory can fill up like that.
So at the moment its my opinion that just the more free memory the better. I had no problems on my touch because I only have 9gb of media on a 16gb (14.7gb) drive. I'll probably clear about 3 gb on here and test it again and let you all know how it turns out.
A bit disappointed that I have to stress test these products so I can be sure they're functioning properly while I'm still in the warranty.
Thanks

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You can also send it to Apple.

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5. I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

My iTunes has stopped working out of nowhere. When iTunes is opened it displays "iTunes has stopped working" and windoes automatically closes it saying it will look for a soluton. What do I do? I have un-installed it and re-installed multiple times.

I have Windows 8.1 64-Bit and have been using iTunes 11.1 (or the newest one out there). I have un-installed and re-installed multiple times. The same message continues to pop up.

Hi biazonmg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes is unexpectedly quitting when you open it, this article has steps to isolate and troubleshoot that:

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

Got iTunes match, synced up music from laptop to phone, headed out listening to playlist, all of a sudden, mid-song, music stopped and all music was gone and needed to be re-downloaded

Ok, so I initially bought the cloud mainly in the hopes that I could store all of my music on it and have access to it on my phone, which ended up not being the case. Fine. So I man up and get iTunes match, sync everything up between my laptop and my phone, make a playlist and head out listening to it. All of a sudden while I'm out, mid-song, the music stops. I go to see what's going on and everything is gone and has the icon to download next to it, and now I'm away from my wifi to boot, so charges apply. I don't understand. Now I have iCloud on my phone with 25 GB Total Storage and 25 GB Available because I don't understand what I should be using it for and iTunes match which, what, only works when I'm within spitting distance of my laptop? I've tried to get everything sorted out, paying a fee each time, and hitting roadblocks every step of the way; and on top of it, my phone is constantly telling me it can't do this or that because I don't have enough storage?? I realize I'm a bit of a noob, but c'mon, it shouldn't be this complicated or difficult, should it?

If you have no network access (3G, Wi Fi) you cannot stream music from the cloud. Period.The way you stop the behavior is to enable 3G, or pre-download the tracks you think you will want to listen to.

Just got familiar with my address book on my YouTube channel. I was adding contacts and everything was working fine then out of nowhere I got a Stop Script.

Hi,
I just got familiar with my address book on my YouTube channel. I was adding contacts and everything was working fine then out of nowhere I got a Stop Script pop up notice. I am using Firefox. Now when I go to my address book on YouTube it freezes and I often have to use CTL + ALT + DLT to stop it and start over.
Is this a Firefox or YouTube problem? I tried looking at this page on IE and the same thing happens.

You are telling us by yourself that is a Youtube problem, because it happens also on IE.
Anyway that may be an issue with your e-mail account. Maybe you have too many e-mails and YouTube gets so busy trying to add all of them. If you hadn't added them already, you could export that directions to CSV and divide the CSV in parts so YouTube wouldn't have so much work. How many directions you wanted to add?

Out of nowhere I can only receive gmail on iPhone, cannot send?!?

Out of nowhere my iPhone stopped sending email from my work gmail account. My personal account works fine. The error message I get says the password is wrong - but I know it's not because I can log on via the web and send email from there.
I have tried deleting the account and reconfiguring with no success. It's just odd that it stopped working randomly one day. My coworkers who have the exact same email setup are not having any problems.
Please help!!!

TS1717 The music stops unexpectedly but if I shut down and launch itumes again it will play for a short time again.I am using a single computer with Apple TV to connect to my sound system. I am running Windows 7. Any suggestions?

Why does the music stop playing after 5-15 minutes.? If I shut down and relaunch itune it will work for another 10 minutes then stop again.
I a running a single computer connected to my APpple TV wirelessly.

Hello LindaHarp,
It sounds like you are listening to iTunes Radio and it stops shortly after you start listening. I recommend starting by signing out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Then close all the running apps on the device:
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 and restart the phone and test the issue by signing back in to your account, and testing again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

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

Music dropping out via airtunes

Hi all, more probs with the AX for Airtunes - i'm getting constant and very irritating drop outs when i play music through my stereo via Airtunes. Any ideas? There are a fair few wireless networks running in my building and i was wondering if that's blocking the channels. If anyone else has had similar problems please let me know. I'm also running Limewire quite heavily. Cheers..

I must say that this problem is both persistent and apparently pervasive. I, and others in this forum, are able to stream music via AirTunes--for a while. Then quite suddenly the music stops; on occasion it will resume without intervention. I have the following configuration:
MacBook Pro (2.33 GHz)
Airport Express (6.3 firmware version)
Airport Base Station
G5 connected to base station via Ethernet
Closed network with WPA2 Personal security
No WDS; Internet robustness turned on
Signal strength at or near maximum
I live in an apartment building with several wireless networks visible
I connect to the Internet via the building's high-speed fiber network
I have configured my wireless devices and software several different ways; none prevent the sudden cutouts in music streaming. I have the latest updates of all relevant software. My phone works on the 5.8 GHz frequency.
I suspect, but cannot confirm, that the cause of the problem is 2.4 GHz interference from neighbors' phones. If this is the case, then I don't know what I can do--other than acquire the new Airport Extreme (which I've ordered) and configure it to operate on the 5 GHz frequency.
By the way, I'm now streaming music from iTunes using Airfoil (http://rogueamoeba.com/). It has briefly cut out once while I've been typing this post, which would suggest that the problem is interference rather than hardware or software related. (Note: My daughter, who lives in a house, recently set up an Airport Express for her laptops. She has experienced no problems with cut outs.)
Open to any suggestions and observations.

Music stops when exported to Quicktime

HI all, I have made a slideshow in iPhoto, and attached music to it that works fine when I play the show.
However, when I export it to QuickTime, the music fades out when it gets to the 30th slide! Any reason why this is and how I can stop it?

What is the ultimate destination to view these images? If it's a TV, then have you taken a look yet to see how they display on a screen that does not have the resolution that your monitor is capable of? When you made the QuickTime movie, did you try to see if any of the optional settings produced an image more to your liking? But to make any reasonable choices, you'll need to know what the final destination is going to be, and evaluate how the images look there. An image that looks fuzzy at 1024x768 on a computer monitor may look just fine on the less than 640x480 resolution on a TV screen, and sharpening it up on your monitor won't make a bit of difference when the image is viewed on a TV screen.

Music stops in tabs

If I am on a website listening to music and I open a new tab and surf around, the music on the first tab stops until I go back to that tab. This is annoying. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks
-Matt

Yep - I get just the same thing. pandora.com however carries right on with the music ( as do many others ).
If you run youtube in a separate window, then it's fine ( for me ) even browsing a dozen tabs in another safari window. If the youtube window is minimized, then music stops.
Apple-N on your keyb will open a new empty window. Check out the shortcuts for links in Safari-preferences-Tabs. You can also ctrl-click( or R click ) a link & choose 'open link in a new window.

Hi jolly34-
This same thing happened to me yesterday, on the 6th. Very annoying.
I reset it, and it did not help. So I plugged it in, and "restored" it to original settings, re synced it, and now it appears to be working again.
Not sure if that helps or not.

I made a DVD with photo's and music. On my Powerbook G4 he plays perfect. But after burning the project on my LaCie d2 lightscribe and show the project on my TV than after 10 min. the music stops for a few seconds.

I made a DVD with photo's and music. On my Powerbook G4 he plays perfect. But after burning the project on my LaCie d2 lightscribe and showing the project on my TV than: after 10 min. the music stops for a few seconds. On the screen of the DVD-player I can see that after the word 'play' the clock starts again with counting the time. I tried everything: * burning slow. * all programs stopped, except iDVD. * all other apparature uncoupled. Is this a problem of my iDVD-program or my LaCie burner?

mishmumken is correct about the 99 slides. There's an 99 chapter limit in each slideshow for DVDs and each photo is considered a chapter. iDVD gets around that by renaming slide 100 back to 1 and goes on.
The pause can be minimized (but not eliminated) by burning to disk at the slowest speed available: usually 4x or 2x. Save the project to disk (File ➙ Save to Disk menu option) and play the disk image with DVD player to check out the transition at 99 and 198. Then burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed possible. Also use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
