My podcasts stop every two minutes - how can I fix?

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone may be able to suggest how I can fix this annoying problem:
When I listen to podcasts on my iPod nano, they stop every two minutes. I have to then press wake button and then the play button. Then it stops again after about two minutes as if it had gone to sleep. So I repeat the above steps ad infinitum. Only had it a few days and don't think this is normal or know how to fix or if should take it in for a serviceperson to look at. Can anyone with similar experience or any advice please respond. Thanks Ben.

The most likely problem is that the headset jack is not fully inserted. With the 1.1 update,there is a feature that senses when a headset is inserted. If there is not one, it pauses playback when the screen goes dark to preserve battery life.
Many folks have had an issue with not fully inserting the headset. When the headset is fully seated, you will hear and feel it click into position. You should not be able to see ANY of the silver of the plug when the headset jack is fully inserted, if you can, it is not in far enough. If you have have pushed it in as far as you can - as hard as you can, then there may be debris in there. Any debris could cause this, since the sensor that tells the nano that the headset is seated is at the bottom of the hole for the headset jack

PGP engine wants to make changes every 5 minutes - how can i stop it?

I get pop up messages saying pgp engine wants to make changes every 5 minutes - how can i stop it?

The best way would be to uninstall PGP and use FileVault instead. If you can't do that, refer to Symantec for support, and good luck with that.

HT1692 I have duplicate contacts for every contact. How can I fix this problem?

I have duplicate contacts for every contact. How can I fix this problem?

Hi again,
I found a previous thread on this that may resolve your problem:
If you are syncing over the air with iCloud then DO NOT sync via the cable with Contacts. This causes duplicates. You are telling the iPhone to bring what is in those programs to the iPhone (one copy). Then you are syncing from the cloud (copy two).
The iPhone will do exactly as you tell it to do.
The easiest way to remove duplicates.
1. On the info tab in iTunes uncheck sync contact and sync calendars.
2. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>@me.com account>slide Contacts and Calendars OFF
3. Log into iCloud and look at contacts and calendars and make sure there are no duplicates.
4. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>@me.com account> slide to Contacts and Calendars ON
When prompted choose to Replace with info from iCloud
Had to update some of it with iCloud info (it had been written for Mobile Me), but hopefully this will work for you!
Cheers,
GB

If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting. If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output. That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file. Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly. IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

Podcast stops every few minutes

Ever since the podcast app updated last night, my podcasts just stop every few minutes. I tried restarting the phone and playing different podcasts, but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

I installed Podcasts 2.1.1 one more time on my phone.
On my iPhone I went into Settings > Podcasts.
I turned on Sync Podcasts (actually left it on).
Set Refresh Every to Manually
Limit Episodes to Off
Download Episodes to Off
Delete Played Episodes to Off
Use Cellular data to Off
Everything is working as it is supposed to, and as an added bonus, the "Cellular data is truned off" warning seems to have disappeared.
It shouldn't be this difficult, but at least Apple seems to have produced an update that functions.

New version of itunes wont download to my pc it keeps saying i have an invalid signature and stops the download. How can i fix this?

When i try to download the new version of itunes my computer says it cannot download and tells me to click the download only option. When i do this it then tells me the download has been stopped due to an invalid signature.
How can i fix this?

That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I tried to run the firmware update and then my mac stopped working.. How can I fix this?

We have two brand new mini macs at our office that we are tyring to install updates on. One worked no problem, and we attempted to do the same thing on the second and there are issues. After I attempted to update the firmware my mini mac appears to still be running, light is on and it sounds like it is running, but nothing is starting up. How can I fix this?
Thank-you,

Try (but I do not expect anything)
Press Option during startup
Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from.
Next try:
Press Command-R during startup
Start from the OS X Recovery System1
and if successful use the Disk Utility to repair the boot disk

My itunes library opens by itself every 10 minutes, how can I stop this?

Several days ago my itunes library started opening on top of whatever I was doing without any prompting from me. It initially started this while I was playing a game on my pc, now it does it all the time regardless of what I am doing. What is causing this action and how can I stop it?

Does is completely restart or just go into sleepmode? If sleepmode: go to Settings - General - autolock and change that setting.
If it just restarts:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

My ipod touch 4's battery lasts five minutes, how can i fix it?

I recieved my ipod last year for Christmas. It has worked great, but starting about 2-3 weeks ago, the battery lasts no longer than 5 minutes. I believe that i just need to have the battery replaced, but would like it troubleshot just incase there is more to the problem. how can i send it in to apple for work, or is there someone else that can fix it?

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.
- 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.

My video keeps stopping and freezing. How can I fix this for ipad 4

Can anyone help. Do I need to download adobe flash for ipad 4. To fix the problem of my video freezing or stopping

If you're streaming video it's possible that your internet connection simply isn't fast enough to stream video. Have you tried to start a video, then pause it and wait a couple of minutes, then play and see if you can get enough of a head start to keep going?
You can't put flash on the iPad, flash and iDevices will never play together. You could look to see if your source has an app or look into various third party browsers that support flash.

I'm trying to update to firefox 6.0, but the download stops at 79%. How can I fix this? It occurs even after restarting my Mac.

I've been using firefox with my Mac book. Yedsterday, I got a message to update from version 3.6 to 6.0 in 3 steps. Step 1 was to download version 6.0. It appeared on the list of downloads as Firefox 6.0 dmg. However Step 1 , which was to open the download, stopped at 79% of the download version. So I have not been able to update to version 6.0.

I want to make sure you're using the auto-update system, because that's the safest most reliable way to go, and it shouldn't appear in the download manager, so I lets make sure you're doing it right. <br/>
This is a screencast I made a couple of years ago. It refers to 3.5 and 3.6, but the steps are still the same: http://ilias.ca/screencasts/ISUHD45.mov
If that doesn't work, then maybe your Snow Leopard account doesn't have permission to update applications?
