Playing music on iPhone 5, multiple tracks lose audio partway into the song

When playing music on my iPhone 5, multiple tracks lose audio partway into the song, even though the track is still playing.
I have tried re-syncing music to the phone several times. This will fix the problem for some tracks, but then re-create the problem in other tracks. Also, I have switched from syncing the entire library to only syncing a few playlists at a time. What can I do?

Hi Descending!
If your songs are playing correctly in iTunes on your computer, then it sounds like you will want to restore your iPhone using this article:

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5.  I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s.  However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
    This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

    If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:

    Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
    Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
    I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue.  I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web.  Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • When playing songs on my ipod the tracks begin 21 seconds into the song

    Something weird is going on with my 3rd gen iPod Touch (32gb). When I play music, very often I run into a problem where all or most of the tracks in an album will begin playing 21 seconds into a song. For instance, I might select the first track in an album and it begins playing at 0:21. I can jump back to the beginning of the track and it plays normally, but then when the song ends it begins playing the next track at 0:21. This will continue for most of the tracks in a given album (but sometimes not all). I can always skip back to the beginning of the track, but each time an affected track is played it begins at 0:21.
    I have reset my iPod to factory settings and then restored to a back up. I'm currently using iOS version 4.1 and I'm unfortunately unable to update any further. (Further iOS updates require updating iTunes, and I am unable to update past iTunes 9.2.1 because I'm still running OS 10.4.11.)

    Additional info: It's not always 21 seconds, but the time remains consistent within an album. 75% of the tracks on The Lonely Island - Incredibad begin at 0:21. Half of the tracks on David Bowie - Scary Monsters begin at 3:16. The last two tracks on Ziggy Stardust begin at 2:24. Etc, etc.

  • While playing music in iphone, the view switches too easily to landscape

    While playing music in iphone, the view switches too easily to landscape. All I have to do is rotate the Iphone by what seems like only a few degrees, and it gets stuck in landscape (cover art) view. To get it back in portrait (current track) view, I have to rotate it again. Is there a way to get rid of the landscape view? I hardly ever want to see cover art not related to the current track.
    Thanks

    lol.
    I meant that it barely takes a tilt for it to turn. For example, if I'm wearing it on a belt clip. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?

  • Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

    Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

    What does "gets stuck" mean?
    It repeats?
    It stops playing?
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?  Restart.  Reset.  Restore.

  • AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    I'm having the same problem, even more:
    - Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
    - Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
    - A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
    - Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
    I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living  what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the  moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple  - it just works"...
    At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

  • Organizing Music Folder is adding multiple track numbers

    When "Keep Music Folder Organized" is checked in Preferences, file names are prefixed with track number. I think there used to be a way to prevent that but I can't find it in the current version (8.2). I could live with the track number prefix, but I now have several cases of the track number being repeated. Here's an example: "1-02 1-02 1-02 Where Did Our Love G". Note that the song name was truncated when the prefixes were added. It hasn't happen to all my tracks, but seems to have happened mostly to those that were imported from .WAV files that I copied from vinyl. Is there a way to prevent this? Is it an iTunes bug? Is there an easy way to remove the prefixes in bulk?

    Success! From this thread...

    see turingtest2's note.
    The part missing that I know works on Macs and may work on Windows, is AFTER you perform that hack, open preferences click on the Advanced tab and then UN-check "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized", then click OK which dumps you out of preferences. Now open preferences again, and reselect (check) the box for "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" and click OK to get out of preferences. On a Mac, at this point iTunes will go through your whole library and fix all the file names to remove the track numbers in front of the song titles in the media files themselves.

  • I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes.  only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

    I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

    Couple of questions:
    What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
    WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
    What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
    Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
    Hope that helps

  • If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

    If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

    If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
    But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
    Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

    Anyone have any ideas or did my wife and myself just get defective phones?
    Like I said all songs and podcasts start  like 30 sec in them jump back to the intro then to the end then the middle. Its quite crazy.

  • I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it now?"  It happens on all my tunes and each one I select ends up with a "?"

    I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it now?"  It happens on each tune I select and a "?" appears beside the song.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
