My shuffle stops after 30 secs of playing

My shuffle connects and syncs to itunes ok and is completely charged, but when I start playing it, it turns off after 20 to 30 secs.  If I restart it it'll play the next 30 secs and stops again. It won't play continuously. If reset and restored it. I have the latest versions of Itunes and even ran diagnostics but all appears to be ok except when I play it because it'll stop after 20-30 secs and won't restart until I press play again. Any tips?

Have you made sure the headphones were plugged in all the way, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug was still showing?
If nothing else, it may be time to take the iPod into your local Apple Store/Genius bar to have them take a look at it.  Could be a hardware malfunction.

  • Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

    Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

    A few possibilities...  (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
    (1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
    (2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging.  Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
    (3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
    (4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle.  Does it change from a power adapter?
    (5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system.  An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing).  If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge.  To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging?  If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen.  There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use.  If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply.  Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge).  If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use.  NOTE:  When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

  • Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Its likely to be caused by Ozone5.. many people have reported that plugin is currently quite unstable and are awaiting updates from izotope to fix the problem... No ETA has been given by izotope for the fix however...
    Also several of your plugins are out of date (Zebra2, Clariphonic, Ozone itself.. to name but a few,)
    Finally, you are running an older version of Logic Pro X (10.0.3)...and  I would normally suggest you update to the latest version  but... if you have a USB2 audio interface do not update to 10.0.5 at this time.... unless you know it will work correctly with the new version of LPX.

  • Videos stop after 10 sec.  How to remedy

    Just got Iphone 4s the past Friday.  Videos start then stop after 10 sec. Tap play then stops after 1 sec. Will not play more than 1 sec.  Solutions?

    It seems that the work-around for this is to change the compatability mode to "Vista". Right click on shortcut, select properties, then the Compatability tab and enable Vista compatability.
    Don't know why this was happening but this seems to fix it.

  • I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it?

    I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it??

    Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

  • SAPCCM4X.03 Windows Service stops after 3 sec.

    Hi!
    I would like to set up the SAPCCM4X agent on the satellite system.
    The installation with the commando >sapccm4x -R pf=... endes without any errors.
    The problem is that the appropriate SAPCCM4X.03 Windows Service stops after 3 sec.
    The output on the CMD console is:
    INFO: trying to register service SAPCCM4X.03 at Windows Service Control Manager

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello Jürgen,
    WARNING: Service SAPCCM4X.03 already stopped. But agent is running!
    you could try to clean up the part of the shared memory used by the agent:
    sapccm4x pf=<instance profile> -initshm
    Maybe the agent starts afterwards.

  • Time Capsule refuses to download upgrade? Stops after 5 sec....?

    Cannot backup to my Time Capsule.
    Time Capsule requiers upgrade, but refuses to download it?? Stops after 5 sec. and blames Air Port tool???

    What model TC is it? A1xxx from the base please.
    How is it setup in the network?
    What kind of internet do you have?
    I would say any TC older than 3years do not upgrade firmware.. it will not solve your problem of not being able to backup anyway.
    Pull the TC out of the network and do a factory reset. Use connection by ethenet, to redo the setup.. if at all possible setup and connect by ethernet whilst you do the backup.
    But need more info to help further.

  • Songs stop after a minute of play

  • Radio stops after a minute of play

  • Audio stops after several seconds of playing in CS6 on PC (R3D files)

    Hi,
    I have recently come across a significant problem while editing R3D files in Premiere Pro CS6. When I play back my sequence the video will play fine but the audio will only play for a couple of seconds before cutting out. The audio meters continue to show that audio is coming through though no sound can be heard at all. When I stop and start the sequence again the audio begins to play again for a couple of seconds before cutting out. There is no problem with video whatsoever.
    - Has anyone else experienced similar problems or have any suggestions to what might be going on and a possible fix?
    My system specs are below. System speed should not be an issue at all as the sequence plays fine on my much slower and older imac (albeit at a reduced resolution).
    I am on an intel 3rd Generation i7 PC (quad core) running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
    8GB of RAM
    2GB Nvidia 650M graphics card
    256GB SSD drive for startup and applications.
    Any help would be very much appreciated, unfortunately until this problem is solved editing on this system just wont be possible.
    Thanks,
    David

    I seem to have it working properly now. My issue seems to be centered around USB3 connections only operating at USB2 speeds. When the USB3 connection is working correctly all audio works perfectly. The store where I purchased my laptop from did a bit of a lazy software and driver install when I purchased the system. They are fixing the issue today and should have the laptop back and fully functional by tomorrow. Will test it again then. From what I have seen though, system runs very well when USB3 connections function as should.
    Strangely though, I now seem to be experiencing an identical issue with my iMac after updating to the latest version of CS6. It is even worse though, with no audio playing at all. From both these experiences, I'm guessing there still might be a few bugs in the software too.

  • TS3274 My iPad plays a song and then stops; I press manually for next song, but it either plays same song, a different song that I pressed, or will play the next song, but keeps stopping after every song I play.  Help?

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • "Random" play doesn't work,stops after each song; multiple plays of same

    One of the more annoying things happening: random doesn't work.
    I've gone through the Zen Media Explorer, reformated the Zen player, so there were no songs on it.
    Went and built a list of 37 songs and uploaded via Zen Media Player to the Zen player.
    Went to "Music" and selected "All Tracks"
    Set my "System" "Audio Settings" for "random" play.
    I had to pick the first song to start it off.
    It played the first 5 or so songs correctly.
    Then it stopped.
    I used the bottom arrow key to "play" the next song. Then it stopped AGAIN.
    Now I'm manually making each song play! This goes on for 4-5 songs, then it starts playing automatically - but repeating the songs it has already played. It does not go near the other 28 or so songs that I have not heard yet!
    I go back to "Music" and re-set to "All Tracks"
    I go back to "System" "Audio Settings" and re-set to play "random"
    And it does this annoying routine all over again.
    Went back to "System" "Audio Settings" and picked "normal" this time. So of course, its playing all the same songs I've heard over again.
    I have to manually cruise the "All Tracks" to pick what I want to hear.
    Can anyone help me with this? I can't stand it anymore.

    If you installed any software to work with the mouse, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then restart the computer and test. Back up all data before making any changes.

  • Creative Cloud stops after 10 sec

    Hi,
    I like to update Lightroom and Photoshop, so I start Creative Cloud and after ± 10 seconds Creative Cloud stops without any message whatsoever.
    So I tried to uninstall Creative Cloud, but the uninstaller progress bar is standing still even after 30 minutes. The process manager showed the uninstaller was hanging
    So I repaired the filesystem permissions, an still the uninstaller was hanging
    So I ran the CC Cleaner Tool only for Creative Cloud removal
    After that I reinstalled a fresh Application Manager, which downloaded and installed the new Creative Cloud
    But the problem is still not solved and Creative Cloud still shuts down (crashes) after ± 10 seconds.
    Please what can I do? during my trial perod I had no problem whatsoever, but sinds I start paying this is happening.
    Specs:
    Creative Cloud subsription
    MAC OSX 10.9.4

    The install of prem. Pro,,,it did install but no desktop icon and none of the icons in cloud work..I was able to go into C drive then into the prem.pro folder,found the icon for the application and that opened the program..It ran ok..I have found no way to reinstall anything from cloud without first removing said program.Thats what I am doing now,uninstalling prem.pro and cloud in hopes of a clean install will fix the issues.Not going to hold my breath tho as I really don't think they have fixed the bug yet.
    On the plus side LightRoom did install with a working icon.
    PS cc 2014 did not put out a startup icon but as with prem.pro was able to open by going into the file folder.
    I am running Win8 64 bit with a 6 core cpu
    Modern Tech.....Isn't great when it works...But when it doesn't...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr      LOL
    Will post the results of reinstall.
    Note....CLOUD STILL claims Pre Pro is there..Guess will have to remove cloud also and reload it before I can get anywhere.  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
