Playing while on "hold"

I will charge my Ipod and then hold the play/pause button to turn it off. Then I will put it on hold. Later on, though, I will come back to my Ipod, turn the hold off, and it is already playing music. This wears down my battery very quickly. I don't push anything; I just turn it off of hold. Why is it playing while turned off and on hold??

You may have an alarm set that is turning on the iPod. Go to the iPod's main menu, extras, Clock, pick on the of the clock, Alarm and then see if it is ON or OFF. Should be OFF.

  • Why does my video  not play while audio does?

    Using iMovie 9 found that after bringing a clip from clips pane into my project that I could no longer insert or edit the project. The green insert cursor remained but all was frozen. After quitting, video clips in project pane will not play while audio (both audio from the actual clips and music) does play. When mouse hovers/scrubs over the clips in the project pane the video clips do come alive but not when i press space bar or play buttons (play full screen /play project from beginning buttons) in bottom left of window. Strangely video in clips pane do play when I press space bar.
    I tried creating a new project and importing clips but no video will play. Same thing applies to all my imovie projects. Another strange thing, the other projects will play when I click on Play Fullscreen button but not my most recent project. Instead, when I click Play full screen button the Last (ie. last in alphabeitical order) of my projects plays instead!
    I would really appreciate some help with this. Have spent a lot of hours on the project and seems like I can't even start again.  

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

  • Classic SKIPS TRACK while on HOLD sometimes.

    I ordered my iPod Classic the other week and it arrived Monday, and I started using it just about 48 hours ago. I usually put it on shuffle and keep it on hold, and for the most part, it runs smoothly. After every 30 or 40 songs, however, the iPod will skip to the next track at any moment in the song. At first I thought I might have just accidentally clicked the skip button while hold was off, but much to my dismay, that theory has been proven wrong a good 6 times since. I can confirm that the iPod skips track while on hold in my pocket, me minding my own business.
    I restored the factory settings this morning, thinking perhaps something went wrong when I first started up my iPod, but it has happened once since then.
    I was wondering if this is a common problem perhaps with the current firmware or a setting out of place, or if it's a hardware problem that warrants a return to the good ol' factory. Thanks ahead of time, I'll check back and elaborate on the problem if need be.

    I am having similar problem, but not exactly same. I haven't noticed the "hold" switch having any effect either way. See details below (first line is iLounge post title):
    iPod Classic (7g) won't play MPEG4 audio files; keeps skipping to next track
    Brand-new ipod will not play MPEG4 audio-only (not video) files that have file extension .mp4 (they still don't play if switched to .m4a extension). Having no problems playing other files .mp3, .m4a. The "Summary" tab on the file info shows file type as "MPEG-4 video file". Is this the problem, or do all mp4 tracks default to that file type?
    When i try to play any album of .mp4 tracks, the iPod just skips from the track 1 to track 2, then to the 3d, and so on until it runs out of tracks -- after playing maybe a split second, maybe nothing of each track. This happens with various albums, and only with .mp4 files, no others.
    All these tracks do play flawlessly in iTunes as audio tracks, and in Quicktime no video shows up; and they will play off the iPod, when the iPod is playing through iTunes. But not when iPod is playing alone.
    I have restored iPod & installed the software update. I can get tracks to play if i use "convert to AAC option", but for various reasons this not desirable solution.
    Any ideas on how to get these .mp4 tracks to play on the iPod? Anyone else having this problem ? I googled & didn't see any reference to this problem with MPEG4 audio, only so problems with video files.

  • Some of my songs cannot play. while some are duplicated

    some of my songs cannot play. while some are duplicated

    In iTunes or on your device?
    If the songs that won't play are missing and show up with an exlamation mark then...
    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes
    .If they are there, but just won't play then it could be a permissions issue or file corruption.
    Once you've fixed any broken links I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.
    If the problems are on the device, back it up, then restore it.

    i am editing a movie, using iMovie 08, and want to use sound for a clip in the video for the end credits. how can i do this?
    just to be clear, i am not trying to add audio. i am trying to leave the audio from ONE CLIP playing, while viewing a new frame. thanks.

    This is simple in iMovie 11 (drag and drop), but in iMovie 08, you can still do it.

  • Video doesn't play while audio does during playback

    I use FCE 1.0.1 and since I upgraded to Leopard I have had a little problem. When I put the video setting in Fire-Wire, it plays fine with audio playing through my camcorder. But when I put the video setting in Real Time to play the audio through my speakers, the video doesn't play while the audio is playing fine. After 5 or 6 seconds, the audio stops playing too.
    My G5 is a single 1.8 GHz processor and I am running 10.5.1
    Anything?

    I appreciate your insight with this. If I could ask one more set of questions; Would you recommend the "upgrade" linked below or the Full version? And what will be the practical differences for me the user?
    I have started a new project in version 1.0.1 (capturing and a few edits, etc) since upgrading to Leopard. Will all of my work be there with either upgrade or full version after install?
    Thanks so much.

  • How can I get a loading animation to play while fly playback component loads a file?

    Hi team,
    Two part question here..
    So I have a FLV playback component and a number of .flv files that it loads   ------>  using video1.source="film/whatever.flv";
    There is a slight delay while the file loads and so I would like to
    A) make this pause a bit longer (it would be so fast at the moment that any loading animation would be subliminal, but with nothing at all you get a second of blank which is not good either- so if I can get it to be a bit longer, like say 2 seconds..
    B) have an animation play while this happens..
    It does not need to show progress or anything, just like a spinning wheel or whatever.
    I have been playing around with bufferTime but not really getting anywhere..
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks

    Here is a test with one flv player (video1) and two buttons (butt and butt1)
    Ok so I have some code that kind of works using the countdown timer... but I obviosuly dont know why it works because if I change the seconds count down from 1 to 2 it only works once.
    I get "working"
             "working"  trace twice and it works
    After that I get the "working" trace but nothing happens    ...    I am close but would really like to understand a bit more what I am doing!
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • How do I get my movies to play while loading like the QT  trailers do?

    I have tried several different things in iMovie and iWeb, and I can not find anything on it. When I put a movie on my site, the viewer sees a Q for Quicktime, until the movie is fully loaded. How can I make it so it plays while loading, the way the Quicktime Trailers do. they way they don't have to wait so long to see it.

    Check out iSquint...

  • How to stop video from playing while working on menu

    I have some menus with a bunch of moving video clips in drop zones in them. After some fiddling around with preferences, the clips are playing while working on the menus rather than just showing still images. I havent seen this behavior before.
    Anyway, its making it excruciatingly, hair pullingly, jump out the windowly, eventually the app does not respondly slow to do any work in the app. Anyone know what stupid setting we must have changed?
    thx

    Thx for the speedy reply. I'm not sure what was happening, but thankfully the app was so overwhelmed that I had to force quit it. Aside from losing my recent changes (aarrggh why no autosave in dvdsp) it was a blessing because on opening the app again, problem gone. Didnt have to jump afterall. I'll try some experiments with those keystrokes once the app is done rendering these menus.

  • IMusic v10 won't play while importing CD and won't burn MP3

    I upgraded my iMusic to v10 when I hooked up my new iPod.  Now I find that a new CD won't play while importing and the new software is preventing me from burning new MP3 versions of the music I have imported.  Help!!!

    Has been this way for a while.
    and the new software is preventing me from burning new MP3 versions of the music I have imported.
    You can only burn an MP3 CD if you have created an MP3 version of the file. iTunes does not and has never created MP3 files on the fly when burning an MP3 CD.
    If you import as AAC (the default), you must first create an MP3 then add the MP3 to a playlist and burn the MP3 playlist.
