Screen freezing when playing music on Shuffle

This is a problem I am having when I am on "Shuffle". When I press to go to next song, the screen will freeze for about 10 seconds while the music plays. When this happens, the music will continue to play completely fine, but the screen just totally freezes for about 10 seconds. So, in these 10 seconds, I am not able to control the volume or even skip to the next song until it un-freezes. The freezing does not happen with every song---it happens randomly. I tried looking for a pattern if it did it to certain songs, but realized that was not the issue. When this freeze occurs, it usually happens in the first few seconds of the song, sometimes even starting at 0:00, not letting me do anything. I have rebooted the ipod by press-holding the top of the circle and the center button. But that did not help. Any idea why this is happening? Any idea what I can do to get this resolved??

Just realised this happens without earphones and without using the running app. My iphone will only play 2 songs when I select shuffle in any playlist, driving me mad!

  • My iphone4s does not lock the screen automatically when playing music and charging

    My iphone4s (iso5.1) does not lock the screen automatically with the condition in charging and playing music.
    System has been set to lock the screen in 1 mins.
    Everything goes fine when not in charging, the system can lock well even playing music.
    System can lock as well when all the music playing apps are closed, even when charging.
    I don't think that's my apps' problem, all my music playing apps have the same problem.
    My ipod has the exact same problem described above, I believe that's an iso system bug.

    It's not something i'm familar with but i will forward it internally for investigation. Could you please send me a PM with the IMEI of your phone and the build number? You can find these under Settings -> About phone and Settings -> About phone -> Status.

  • Does anybones screen freeze when texting or using bbm?

    iv only had my 9300 for about 3 months and since day one the texting would freeze for about 5 seconds before it would allow me to type another letter and today its been a nightmare the screen freezes when im texting and using bbm for so long i have to take the battery out to turn it off. im not sure how to contact blackberry over this problem. its really annoying me.

    Sue,
    I actually installed new RAM - 2 GB, and the problem still seems to persist. It is on all the new movies we have imported and are attempting to edit. This all seems to have started when we went from iLife 05 to iLife 06. At that point, we did not have the added RAM, but now with the added RAM and I know we have 15-20 GB free on disk space, we are still having the screen freeze when playing back a scene or scenes we are trying to review after adding an effect or making audio changes, or just any change.
    I am still frustrated and I dont know what my options are as far as support or customer care. Can I go to a genius bar? Do I need to bring the machine to show them? Is there anywhere I can call to help? Would I call iLife support or hardware support?
    I am a windows guy and I am helping my kids and wife on this one, and everyone raves at how effortless and integrated a MAC is, but with this type of an issue I feel stuck and there is no good documentation or my searches never seem to product any decent results that even hint at helping. I have seen similar issues and heard about alot of issues with the MAC and trying to do the movie stuff, but that is what it is touted for?
    Give me some options and I will try anything.

  • When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on.  While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below).  Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

  • When playing music from Ipod in my car, music suddenly stops and message appears to restore in iTunes.  After a few minutes, it starts to play again.  I hear a click and the apple logo shows on the screen.  Any ideas??

    You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing.  It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.

  • ITunes freezes when importing music from CD and also when playing,

    Just recently iTunes has started to freeze when importing music from a CD - it just stops and the progress bar remains as it it. The whole mac then freezes and I get the spinning beachball. I can't use any other application. The same thing is happening when I play music - it's ok for a song or two and then freeze and the beachball appears. I've downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled and it's just the same. Using Safari and Mail etc is no problem at the moment.
    I also have a problem getting the iMac to recognise external hard drives - it won't show them on either firewire 400 or 800. I can see my 1TB drive using usb ( it shows up on the desktop, whereas on firewire it doesn't do this) but if I try to open it and see the contents in finder, it opens, but doesn't dispaly the contents of the drive. I can see the disk size but just get a grey spinning wheel in the bottom right hand of the finder window. Timemachine does not work.

    I have had the same problem & itunes crashes when i try to import a file. Now i can't even start itune. I've reinstalled itunes so many times, without a fix, I've lost count.
    I did post and had no reply. I'll watch this post with interest.

  • How to get blank TV screen when playing music

    I am using Apple TV to stream my iTunes music to my television.
    What setting do I need to make my television screen completely blank when playing music?

    Hi - thought that might be the answer!
    Sadly, I cant connect the ATV optically, as my amp doesn't have an input, nor does the ATV have phono output, unfortunately.
    Thanks for your reply
    That was an advantage of ATV1 - analogue audio out (and component video, and the hard drive, and iTunes Extras/LP....I'll stop there ).
    No reason trhey couldn;t potentially add as an option though:

  • Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

    Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
    I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

    Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS.  Sorry about that! 
    That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation.  I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere.  It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home.  I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider. 
    So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers.  I have experienced this on AT&T.  Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • Can I Enlarge Title and Artist Text when Playing Music?

    Hello.  This question pertains to the 5th generation 32 GB iPod Touch.
    When playing music, I'd like to know if I can enlarge the text that displays the title and artist of the track now playing. 
    (I listen to my iPod in bed, but I wear contacts, and take them out at night.  I am unable to read the text clearly.)
    If there is a way to enlarge the text, what is the procedure?  Is a separate app required, or can I do it some other way?
    Thank you!   Jd

    After doing more research and playing with the iPod, I figured out what to do.  There's a trick to it.
    You double-tap the screen with three fingers.  On the second tap, you spread your three fingers out.  That enlarges the screen to almost any size you want.  Then, you use your three fingers to move the screen around.  The Zoom feature will memorize the customization, and will remain that size unless or until you change it.
    It's just a little bit tricky, but that's how I got it to do what I want.  Jd

  • My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

    Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

    Is the mute switch on?
    Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?
