My phone stops playing music

My phone asha 501 stops playing music.when I try to replay ut says your phone does not support this file type. To resolve this I need to restart my phone.what do I do???

Hi. Where have you gotten the music files? Or are you streaming online?
If these files are already saved in the phone, did you download them using the phone via an app or did you transfer them from a PC?
What is the format of the file? Do you encounter the same issue with videos?

I-Phone stopping playing music after one track

I have a i-phone 3G and when I use the i-pod function it will play music fine until the next track and then it will stop and go back to the main i-phone screen. Anyone got any ideas why this is the case?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in your itunes library? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other.

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

Hi Cassilecompte,
If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

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.

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

IPhone 4 stops playing music through AUX and/or Bluetooth

I recently updated to 5.1.1 and my phone will stop playing music through the headphone/AUX jack. Pulling out the cord and plugging it back in reinitiates the music, but it will stop soon afterwards again. The song is still playing (becauseplay icon still up). Thought it was a problem with the cord, but other iPhones (not updated--friends phones) work just fine for long periods with no interruption.
I checked out the headphone jack looking for lint or debris and did not find any, so I did a restore. After restore of phone same problem, random cutting out using the headphone jack.
This morning it is doing the same cutting out while playing music with my Bluetooth Bose speaker... so I tested it with my physical stereo system dock, again, music cuts out...
What is going on with my phone?
(Keep in mind that I've tested all my music devices--Bluetooth speaker, physical stereo dock, and car aux jack/cord with other NON-updated iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S with no problems like the one I am having.)
Thank you.

I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue - music cuts out when using headphones. Sometimes it goes from play to stop and I can click play to start it again. Other times it stops (but is still playing) and I have to unplug and plug the headphone jack in again. Seemed tgo start after turnign on iTunes Match - Although the songs that stop are not in the cloud - they are on my phone. I have disabled itunes match to see if that will help and will report back...

Lumia 900 Bluetooth won't stop playing music

If I want to have my phone available for handsfree calls and hear the directional prompts using Nokia Drive in my 2011 Acura TSX (not tech package) I have to have the audio set to Bluetooth Audio. But when I do that the Music app automatically starts and plays music. I can turn it off (using the Stop the Music app), but it comes back on after a few seconds. How can I make it stop playing music?
Tom

Hi TomKer,
Thanks for posting and welcome.
Nokia Drive voice navigation does not use or support Bluetooth as audio channel. If you are able to hear navigation through Bluetooth this might indicate an incompatibility between your car system and the Lumia. This may also indicate that your car system is possibly sending control signals over Bluetooth causing the playback of audio to start.
I'd suggest you verify this by connection to a different car system to see if you can recreate this behaviour there. You might also want to contact a Nokia Care Point or the Nokia Care Line (by voice, mail or chat) for further assistance. You can find them through the Contact us section on this page.

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!

My itunes has stopped playing music. I have unintalled all apple apps and reinstalled and updated but nothing has worked. What can I do to fix this?

My itunes has stopped playing music. I recently downloaded more music and now it has stopped playing, it says it is playing but there is no sound and the time bar does not move from 0. I have uninstalled all apple apps on my laptop and reinstalled and then updated the software. I have tried 'repair' aswell but nothing has worked.

Songs in the itunes store are also not working

Why do some of my Stations on iTunes Radio stop playing music?

I'm using iTunes Radio on my iPhone. After listening to it for while it will stop playing music. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the servers at Apple. Can anyone give me advice on this issue?

No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

My nano generation 6 now stops playing music when the screen goes black

The nano recently started to do something weird. I have been using it for a couple years with no issues. Recently it will stop playing music as soon as the screen goes black (sleep). it never did this before. I have checked the settings, nothing was changed and I updated it - Restore default settings. that didn't work.
Settings: Sleep Wake = next track
It seems to work fine when I use a speaker accessory; the music continues to play when it sleeps.

just to confirm, it is not a issue with the earphones being only partially plugged in. I have verified this already.

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. :-)

- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

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.
