Play...Stop...Play .....Stop

Occasionally my iphone 3G stops a song while in play when using earbuds or portable speaker ... sometimes it will occur once during the song...other times it can happen up to 10 times.
So aggrevating! Does anyone have this problem? If so.... any remedies?
Thanks so much!

I just reinstalled the whole software yesterday and now I got the same problem:
iPod randomly stops playing while plugged to my car by a speaker cable.
In another discussion board I found a thread with the same thing. One guy assumed that it might have something to do with the iPhone switching from one base station (cell) to another.
That might really be a cause as it happened while driving my car. It doesn't do it when I'm at home.
Any ideas if there's a correlation between the phone changing cells and the iPod stopping playing?
Cheers,
Sascha

  • Problem:Imported video is choppy and then camera stops playing

    I'm using a Sony DCR-HC96 connected to my Macbook, tried both Imovie HD and Imovie 08 and I have the same problem. When I try to import the video, the playback from the camera is very choppy, and after a few seconds the camera stops playing. If I just play the camera without importing, the footage is good. Sometimes the choppy-ness is right away and other times i will be able to import a few minutes and it starts again...
    Addendum: Just realized I posted this in the Imovie 11 forum. My Bad, as the saying goes..I will post it in the Imovie 08 as well.

    As the drive fills and you're going farther and farther into the disk it gets more and more problematic. When the drive is empty you're writing on the outer portion of the disc. The more it fills, the disk area gets narrower and narrower and slower and slower compared to the outer portion. USB drives that deliver information in bursts have more problems with this than drives that have sustained throughput like FireWire. For video, which requires sustained data delivery, this can be a problem. Depending on the computer and how full its drive is you can sometimes get better performance with DV capturing to the internal. It might be worth a try.

    No.
    Unless the browser has that feature.

  • How can I get a .swf to stop playing using a button?

    I've placed two .swf files inside my InDesign CC doc. and would like to control them using specifically created 'play' and 'stop' buttons. My InDesign file will be / is exported as a .swf also, as it has animations and interactivity.
    One .swf is a looping animation (created in a separate InDesign doc.) and the other is a Captivate file published as a .swf.
    When I create a 'play' button to play the .swf it works as expected, however when I create a 'stop' button and assign the Action 'Stop' or 'Stop All' it does not work and the .swf continues to play on the page.
    When I change page within my InDesign document the two .swf's continue to play; I know this because despite not being able to see them still playing (as I'm on a new page now), one of the .swf's - the Captivate file - has audio and continues to play on the new page I'm viewing.
    When I return to the page where the two .swf files are located they appear to have stopped and can be re-played, but what is actually happening is that the .swf's are still playing in the background with the option to press play for the same two .swf's - meaning I'll have a total of 4 .swf's playing at the same time - two behind the original two.
    I know there is a similar 'unload' issue when playing a .swf inside a swf. in Flash and that you can create ActionScipt to either unloadAll or killAudio but I don't know how to resolve this with InDesign as I'm not aware of either being able to access the InDesign code or there being an actual fix for this.
    Would appreciate some help, if possible.
    Thanks.
    James.

    Hmmm. Behind the safari window? Try command-tab for quicktime X and bring to the front?  Quit all apps and start over?

  • How can I get an flv video to stop playing when I exit the page it's on?

    The audio continues to play no matter where I navigate on the site.
    Thanks

    You want to stop the audio from playing and also downloading more video/audio if it is still downloading when you go to a new keyframe where the video display/component or mp3 player is removed from the stage because it's keyframe ended or do not exist anymore but you still hear the audio.
    Add an event listener to your video playback component that calls a function when the flash player tries to remove the video plaer from the stage that stops the netstream or at least stops/pauses the video playback.
    [link removed]
    //sample NetConnection and NetStream classes when the video player is removed from the stage tell the NetStream to stop playing or downloading the content with .close();
    var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection.connect(null);
    var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
    addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, videoRemovedFromStage);
    function videoRemovedFromStage(e:Event){
       stream.close();

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

  • At night, as soon as I plug my iphone to be recharged, my iphone starts behaving abnormaly.  It is like somebody has taken control of it.  I see the screens moving, music starts playing and then stopping, etc.

    At night, as soon as I plug my iphone to be recharged, my iphone starts behaving anomaly.  It is like somebody has taken control of it.  I see the screens moving, music starts playing and then stopping, etc.  I have noticed that several nights.  What I do is in Settings is to change  into Plane Mode, thinking that, may be if I do that, somebody that has taking control of it will not be able to download data.  Yesterday night, I was awakened by an alarm, whose setting I did not changed. When I looked over, the alarm screen changed to Settings and the Plane Mode changed alone in front of my eyes, from on to off.
    I have not observed such a situation during the day. Only when I plug the cable.
    I suspected that may be there is no Trojan installed. May be the cable, which is a spare cable, has been modified by a hacker, and it has electronics installed in the connector.  But tested with the original cable, and the behavior was the same, as described above.

    Thanks Meg for your reply.
    It could be that both cable are bad. But, anyway, you would not expect any of these manifestations, even with a bad cable. I had bad cable for my 4s, and never saw such a thing! 
    I contacted by chat the support of Apple.  They told me that this behavior could be a software problem and recommended me to do a full recover of my iphone. That meant, putting in at the factory conditions and recup all the data from the backup.  I did that, and the behavior did not change.  The backup was made with the data of my PC, not icloud.  Tomorrow will try with icloud and check if that will work. 

  • Why do some podcasts stop playing & how do I fix it?

    Hi.
    I seem to have a bug with some of my podcasts. I subscribe to a few and I've noticed that sometimes there will be a "bug" in a particular episode which means it just stops playing at a particular point in the item - this can be at the beginning, middle or towards the end. At first, I thought it was only related to some of the more "amateur" podcasts I subscribed to. But now, I've noticed that it is also happening with a high quality series I subscribe to. It doesn't happen on every episode/file; eg, two will be faulty and then the next two will play fine.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this bug and how to overcome it?
    thanks

    Yes and no. I just got my wife a Nano, but before that I was the only user and account. Yes, I run as admin occasionally - had the same results either way.
    I changed all the type tags for the items in my library (and then deleted them for good measure - I drag and drop, not sync, so my library isn't that important anyway). I'll give this a try and see if it works. I guess time will tell.
    Thanks for the idea of checking the Type tag!! I wasn't aware of that. It gives me some things to experiment with.
    Thx! S

  • Looking for a music app that doesn't stop playing music when album over

    Back in the 90s, I had a 5 disc CD player.  When one album was done, it would move to the next album. 
    With iTunes, one album was done, the next album would start playing.
    With iPhone, one abum is done, music stops playing. 
    I don't understand the logic behind the iPhone music app.  This is especially bad for when I'm driving. 
    I'm looking for a type of Music app that either:
    1)  Allows me to swipe to next/previous album as well as next/previous track.  (maybe  a swipe up/down command)?
    or
    2)  Allows me to display all songs, but sorted by Artist or album (that way I automatically have one long
    or
    3) Will automatically advance to the next album when the current one is done.

    Bob, I have the guide, just didn't think of the playlist angle.  I was looking for  the genre/Siri thing.  But hey, making a playlist worked.
    Demo, yes Siri works now that I've made a playlist and say "playlist"  And I'm satisfied with the fix.
    But you'd think apple could make playing music more convenient.  I took off all my music and retagged it, leaving all info blank (ie: albums and artists etc) and leaving only genre because it's so difficult to get it play a genre.  I'd pick a genre, start with a  song and it would play only songs from a single album.  I've read of some odd fixes for this and a couple of them worked...sometimes!  (If you stand on one leg and whistle Dixie kind of things)  Ridiculous! 
    By eliminating all tag info except genre I fixed that issue and can now play by genre.
    But as of now Siri still won't play Gospel music by my asking, she still replaces my spoken "Gospel" with her "Christian & Gospel" which like I said doesn't exist.  And correcting Siri doesn't work.  All my music falls into 3 genres, 2 of them Siri handles perfectly, Gospel she messes up.
    Bottom line - I shouldn't have had to make a playlist, or played with the tagging of my music.  Apple says you can play your music by genre, and it should be simple to do so.

  • Music stops playing but Music app still shows as playing

    My wife's 4S keeps having problems while playing music. The sound will stop, but the Music app shows it is still playing. I don't really know what to even try to do to fix this. I may try restoring it. Might be a hardware issue. Any others have this happen? It is one of those issues that occurs at random so its hard to pin down. I may also have her try listening to Pandora for awhile and see if it does the same thing. Might be able to nail down if it is app related or hardware. Nevertheless, that would be one additional thing to tell Apple I tried.

    The question is old, I'm not sure if the problem is the same as mine.
    Symptoms:
    I will be playing music
    The song stops playing
    If I skip a number of songs I will sometimes get one that works
    If I return to "Songs" and search for the song, it will show up with a "download from iCloud" symbol
    If I stop playback, then tap the "Download from iCloud" symbol, the song will eventually start playing again
    Platform:
    iPhone 4
    iOS 7
    Apple's Music app
    Synced using iTunes
    iCloud settings (Settings -> iCloud) only cover Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc
    I do NOT have "iTunes Match" turned on, nor am I subscribed to iTunes Match
    I do have "Show All" turned on for Music and Videos (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
    I do have "Automatic Downloads" turned on for Music, Apps, Books (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
    I have "Use Cellular Data" turned off in Settings-> iTunes and App Store)
    My Music app is signed in for Home Sharing
    How I have worked around the problem for the meantime: when listening to music, turn the iPhone 4's "Airplane Mode" on. Sure, I can no longer make or receive phone calls, iMessages, SMS, browse the web, or anything else but at least my music doesn't spontaneously stop.
    I have not had problems with the iPhone ceasing playback of music that I loaded onto the device from CDs (i.e.: the problem only occurs with songs that I've bought from the iTunes Music Store).
    Having reviewed the settings, I've turned off "Automatic Downloads" in case that's what has caused my problem (i.e. iOS 7 is getting confused about the song being on my iPhone already so it deletes the song and then re-downloads it). This problem has only occurred once every few months, so it's going to be very difficult to verify that any fix or workaround actually works.

  • HT1459 After updating ITunes, it, ITunes started loosing my music files and stopped playing more than one song at a time.What now?

    After updating ITunes, it, ITunes started loosing my music files and stopped playing more than one song at a time also there would be duplicate songs in the same folders.What now?

    Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

    This is where you start breaking it down into components.  Does the ipod still play otherwise?  Does another mp3 player work in the car?  Tried a new cable?

  • ITunes 10.5 Stops Playing Some songs mid-song and skips to the next

    I migrated a friend’s iTunes library from a Win Vistamachine to Windows 7 Home Premium. Not sure what version of iTunes he had onthe Vista setup, but it’s 10.5.1 on the new machine. In the process, I backedup the sizable (6,000+ songs) iTunes library to an external hard drive, andrestored it to the new Win7 machine.
    Now about 10% of his songs will start playing and at randomtimes, will skip to the next song without completing.
    I found a fix, but it’s pretty tedious – there’s got to be abetter way to fix this.  Here are thesteps when a song stops playing and jumps to the next:
    Locate     the song in Windows.
    Copy     it to the desktop (or another safe spot)
    Delete     the song from iTunes, selecting the option to remove it from the hard     drive.
    Cut     the song from the desktop and paste it back in the folder where it came     from
    In     iTunes:  File>Add Folder to     Library… Navigate to the folder and add it.
    Once the song is added back to the library, it plays justfine.
    This solution works for identified files. However, with6,000+ songs in a library and no way to determine which files are affected on amacro level, this really is not a solution.
    There is no noticeable pattern. This seems to happen toabout 10% of the files in the library. One particular song (Foo Fighters:  The Pretender) was duplicated on the harddrive and in the iTunes library.  BOTHversions of the song stop playing with 0:21 remaining and skip to the nextsong.  However, another song in thelibrary stops playing at 1:01.
    Some of the troubled files are .m4p, some are .mp3. Thefiles themselves are not corrupted.  Itested several in QuickTime and they played to the end. Additionally, as shownabove, when they are deleted from the library and restored they play just fine.
    I have deleted the com.apple.iTunes.plist as suggested inother articles, but this did not help.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Try working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of a software glitch or corrupted data.

    Do this happen with tracks at random or only a certain subset of tracks?

  • IPod no longer stops playing when a podcasts ends

    Starting with iPod software 2.1 and iTunes 8.0, my iPod Touch 1st Gen. no longer stops playing when the end of a Podcast is reached. It will start playing the next Podcast episode in the list although that is an older podcast that I have already listened to.
    Prior to these software updates, I would be listening to, let's say, the MacCast podcast number 100, when it finished, the iPod would stop. I could then go up the list and play a newer episode or switch to a different podcast. However, now, once episode 100 finishes, the next episode down the list is number 99 and it starts playing automatically (even though I have already listened to it).
    Is there some new setting I am missing? Is anyone else having this problem?
    Regards,

    It's a new "feature" of the latest firmware upgrade.
    I personally hate it.
