My music stops playing!!!!!!!?

I have had my Ipod 20gb for about 5 monthes or so. Last week, when I was using shuffle, I hit next track to change the song. The next song came on teh screen but never started to play, it was just stuck, then it went over to the next song by itself, then the next song, and it wouldnt stop and nothing played. I restarted the ipod and everything was okay. Since then it has become a frequent problem. Is my hard drive failing?

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

Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

Music stops playing in Adobe PE4 slideshow

I am working with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0, and in the slideshow I make, suddenly the music stops playing though it seems that the mp3 file is there in his place.
Also, i have problems with the text added. It disappears or otherwise appears compressed (unable to read properly)

Music stops playing when I open Safari

Every time I open Safari, my music stops playing. Why does this happen? & please dont tell me to reset anything...

That doesn't make any sense. Isn't that the whole purpose of the multitasking feature, why would it close?

Why does my music stop playing when I sleep my screen?

Why do songs stop playing when I sleep my screen? If my screen automatically sleeps after two minutes or I sleep it with the button or iPad smart cover the music stops playing. It only started doing this after upgrading to 5.0.1. Is this just a bug with the new software?

Thanks Rachel, I have done that and it seemed to have taken care of the problem, though my music videos in "Video" stop playing when my iPad sleeps automatically after two minutes... I am trying to find out how to contact apple about these issues directly...

My itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes down after about 5 min. im using windows7

DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
- IDE controler failure
- Bad cables
- Bad harddisk
Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C...

Music stops playing when I enter twitter app HELP!

When Im playing music from Itunes and enter the twitter app for Iphone my music stops playing...how to fix this

Hello there JayStays100,
I would recommend steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 from our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, I recommend closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
All the best,
Sterling

My music stopped playing with iOS 5

I downloaded the iSO 5 on my iPod, but my music stopped playing.
I tried to sync again, but still don't playing the music.
What will I do? I need my music!

That is not really a error. What that is saying is that itunes cant find the file to sync over to your iPhone.
Yes you see it in your libary but the song is gone. As in if the song was located in C://Computer/Music. Then it was moved to a different location iTunes cant find it. Find the song and put it back. That is all you have to do or redownload it.

Volume controls don't work in Messages iOS 8. And music stops playing when I open Messages

My volume buttons don't work when I'm in Messages on iOS 8, I can't change the ringer or headphone volume. More annoyingly music stops playing when I open Messages, but I can start it again. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

For all of you, the first thing to do when these things happen after an update, is to close all your open apps and reset. This will cure your ills 99.9% of the time:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

TS3700 why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep/wake buttom? it says the screen turns off but the music should be playing

why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep wake button? it says that the screen should turn off bu the music should still keep playing

This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.

Why doesn´t music stop playing when making a call?

Why doesn´t music stop playing when making a call?
Shouldn´t that be automatic like it used to be in iOS6?

Ok, I just realised that this only happens if the current page in iBooks has a video on it. If the page has only text and images, there is no problem.
I still think it is a bug though. If the video is not running, I don't see why the music player should be stopped. If I choose to start the video on the page, THEN the music player should be stopped.

My ipod nano (6th gen)'s music stops playing sometimes when i turn the screen off (lock: sleep/wake)???!!!

Hello yal.
My ipod nano's music stops playing when i sleep the ipod... and sometimes the screen is unresponsive. It is a little bit smasshed so yeah... could that be a factor?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

Downloaded album but music stops playing about halfway through on each song...

I just downloaded an album from the iTunes store into my iTunes software on my PowerMac. I put the album into a playlist and began to listen. However, on each song the music stops playing about halfway through and then skips to the next song; it does it again and again on this album. What is the problem here? Did I do something wrong? Do I have to download the album again?

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
