Shuffle 2 stopped playing audio podcasts

Hi. I have a Shuffle 2nd generation that just stopped playing audio podcasts. I've been listening to music and OTR and CBC Radio podcasts, and all of a sudden it stopped playing the podcasts. Music plays fine, but if I just load it with podcasts, and try to play them, my little light just blinks (saying "you don't have anything loaded!"). It still plays the music, but skips over each podcast.
The podcasts are good. I used to play the exact same ones a month or two ago - then it just stopped playing them. I can listen to the podcasts on Itunes, and can listen to them on my old Shuffle 1st generation.
Help!

ooh, I did a bit more research and found a solution for my problem.
iPod shuffle won't play podcasts if its in shuffle mode.  You have to switch it to linear mode.
I did that and now it plays just fine.  Hopefully that's all that was wrong with yours as well.
I must have accidentally switched mine by accident and not realized it.

  • Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

    My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
    the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
    i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
    please help out a soldier in need?

    mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

  • Logic stopped playing audio

    Hello everybody, this is a vital question.
    After the latest security update, logic stopped playing audio. After a short debug I discovered that core audio doesn't show any external interface anymore, so any other song is affected. I dont know if the security update is related... Anyways Logic is gone and my songs too!!!
    Audio-Midi configuration, as well as the interface related control panels, work as expected and audio is correctly played by the finder. All other software which makes use of core audio (e.g. Bias Peak) works.
    My interfaces are AVID M-Audio Fast Track Ultra and, for this testing purposes, M-Audio Audiosport Duo (legacy), all with the latest drivers.
    Obviously my Logic is officially bought from the App Store.
    MacPro (late 2007) 7GB RAM 2 x 2,66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
    Mac OS X 10.7.5 (latest update)
    Logic Pro 9.1.8 (1700.67) 32 bit (latest update)
    AVID M-Audio Fast Track Ultra with 2.2.2 firmware (latest update)

    Hey icedj,
    I had that happen. I had to trash my Logic prefs, then restart Logic. It's a P.I.T.A. because you lose various settings (color settings, for instance), but it fixed the problem for me.

  • Apple TV2 periodically stops playing audio

    Hi
    I have had an annoying problem with my Apple TV2 after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.0). When streaming video content from my MacMini Server (via ethernet) the Apple TV periodically stops playing the audio while the movie keeps playing without audio. I can solve the problem by pausing and then continuing the movie, which will bring back the audio.
    I have tried to restore and reinstall the firmware (6.0) via the Apple TV because I also had problems with the Apple TV stuttering when streaming content from my MacMini, but the reinstallation of firmware did not solved the issue.
    I don't know if this is somehow related to the issue, but after having updated to firmware 6.0 Netflix often ask me for my login credetials on the Apple TV. This is an issue that I also never experienced before upgrading the firmware.
    What to do now?
    Thanks...

    So it's been a few months since I saw this thread started, and I am still having the same issues as above with my Apple TV 3. I can go a day or two and at some point, all connections just seem to error out. HBO go, Netflix, me streaming from my ipad, etc.   thought they would have been addressed by now.
    I have to hard reboot (power plug only) in order for it to go back to normal.
    I know it's a hardware issue as I have an Apple TV 2 setup in another room and it never gives me an issue,
    The weird thing is, I have the exact same setup at my office as well.  An Apple TV 3 in the main conf. Area and an Apple TV 2 in our break area. Same issue - Apple TV 3 needs hard (pore Plug) reset every few days and the Apple TV 2 in the break room is rock solid for months.
    Both Apple TV 3 units are at most recent 6.1 software release.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Think I a just going to put my Apple TV 3's aside for a while and use the 2's until it gets worked out.

  • Playing audio podcasts from my iPod on TV

    I have no problem playing video podcasts from my iPod on TV, using the Apple AV cable and a scart adapter.
    However, when I play an audio podcast, I hear the audio on the TV, but I don't see the accompanying visuals that are part of the audio podcast.
    I tried to find a "TV on" setting for audio podcasts (similar to that used for video podcasts) but couldn't.
    Can anyone help/advise?
    Thanks in advance!

    I belive your Ipod is operating normally!
    I belive the only time you'll get a visual is when your playing back Video, Music video and Video podcast.
    There are no visuals output to Tv for audio programs;only on the Ipod itself!

  • Audition CS5.5 suddenly stopped playing audio?

    Audition has been running perfectly for the past month since I got it,
    but all of a sudden, the audio stopped playing? The tracker is still moving and the mixer levels are still jumping around like they do when you play something back?
    In the preferences menu, in the Audio Hardware section,
    It's only showing 'ASIO4all v2' as a device and nothing else - normally there is at least 2 or 3.
    I've done everything I could think of (Yes, including turning it off and on again)
    What should I do?
    I have to fix this quickly as I've got quite a bit of work to do and I'm stuck until it's done.
    I'm also using headphones if that helps at all.
    Thanks.

    ASIO4ALL is just a wrapper for other devices on your system.  If you click the Settings button in the hardware preferences, it should open the ASIO4ALL control panel.  You'll want to make sure the correct audio device is listed and enabled within.  Sometimes, if a device is disconnected or the driver is updated, ASIO4ALL may not recognize it as the same device it was using before. 
    Depending on what audio device you have, you might want to try choosing MME as your Audio Driver option and selecting the device directly and see if you have a similar problem.

  • For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

    Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

    Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

    Mike, deleting the preferences did the trick, but I don't know why. Itunes downloaded 5 days of podcast! Hurray!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

  • ITunes has stopped playing video Podcasts

    About 2 Days ago iTunes starting acting up and I can no longer play Video Podcasts.  AudioCasts seem to work fine.
    When I try to watch a Video Cast it takes forever to start and then a few seconds in it stalls and won't play any more.  After a few clicks and timeline drags, very often iTunes will crash and I have to restart it.
    I have tried a number of different Podcast channels including Apple Keynote which should not have any issues.
    Checked my DSL speed... same as always.
    Shut down all my other programs... ran disk utility... rebooted.
    Still stalls.  I have been successfully watching podcasts for  years.  Very annoying.
    iTunes 10.5 (141)
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    Mac Pro 12 Core 2.93 GHz
    12 GBs Ram
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in Advance

    I'm having very similar issues. All video podcasts that have been working fine have now stopped. Whether they are old ones or ones loaded since all the updates around what I can only assume was the launch iCloud. I had almost all my applications in iTunes wanting to be updated, only to be told some of them couldn't be - somehow write and keynote were in there - I've only just reached the point where my compuer, iPad 2 and iPhone 4 are all in synch to discover podcasts aren't working.
    I am very keen to understand what solutions are proposed and am feeling very underwhelmed at finding myself in the same position as Windows users after upgrades, and for the first time in years, am unable to defend my Mac and Apple.

  • My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

    My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking.  I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on.  Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again.  I can't go forward or go back.  When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air.  I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing.  I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's.  I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem.  I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product?  It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

    I Just ran into the same issue:
    My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
    Then it would get stuck at the same place.
    I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
    re-synced my playlist and same issue!
    did a restore as described above - same issue.
    Solution in my case:
    one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
    So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
    After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
    So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
    - Deleted the song from the local library
    - re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
    - now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
    - re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
    all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
    hope that helps someone else....

  • ITunes stops playing songs/podcasts/etc whenever I move my mouse.

    I have no idea why this happens but its really aggrivating.

    when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec.
    At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
    Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
    If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

  • Shuffle stops playing occasionally, 5 green blinking lights

    hi,
    my 4th generation ipod shuffle occasionally stops playing a song, seemingly caused by a minor movement of the shuffle or the headphones.  when this happens, the indicator light blinks green exactly 5 times.  the behavior is otherwise like clicking pause (which blinks green 30 times) in that clicking play again fixes the problem.  it happens pretty commonly when running, though some days it never behaves this way and other days it shuts off almost constantly.  putting the shuffle into lock mode doesn't help.  it also seems unrelated to the battery level.
    it's behaved this way for some time though i'm past my coverage period.  anyone else encountered this and/or know a fix?  i've already got the latest iTunes and shuffle software installed.
    thanks.

    I tried the cotton swab approach from http://techtips.salon.com/ipod-pause-itself-3299.html.  I took a Q-Tip, ripped off most of the cotton, dipped the Q-Tip in rubbing alcohol, and cleaned out the ipod shaft and the headphone jack.  You could tell it was lubricated when I put in the headphone jack, as it swiveled pretty easily.  After doing this, I had no playback problems.  Where before a slight movement of the headphone jack would stop playback, now I was unable to stop playback short of removing the headphone jack completely.
    I also was pleased to discover that the 5 green blinking lights are exactly what happens if during playback you remove the headphone jack completely.  So that's consistent with some type of connectivity problem between the ipod and headphones.
    Sadly, later that day, after leaving the headphones connected to the ipod for a few hours (turned off), I found I was back in my initial state where a slight movement of the headphones turns off playback.  I really thought I had found the permanent solution, but it seems like I might be routinely using rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to make the ipod work normally.

  • Quicktime stopped playing audio online

  • OSMF stops streaming audio podcast prematurely when the first chapter ends

    Hi, im having problems playing an audio mp3 which has chapters in it, OSMF closes the streaming and dispatched that has completed playing without the possibility to continue playing...
    any ideas on this? thanks!

    Why did Apple in their wisdom(??) decide to change this function (it used to work just fine)?
    Why would they think that people want to be reverted back to the main menu and not hear the next Podcast??
    Do they consider having to try and navigate back while your driving a leap forward?
    Why would you turn around and make this hard to use??
    And having to make a Smart Playlist is stupid...it makes the Podcast Category on iTunes useless and redundant.
    I had the opinion that Apple was better than Micro$oft, that's why I made the leap but now I don't know...
    99% of users want the function (to play Podcasts automatically and last episode first) back....what are they basing their decisions on certainly not us the users.
    Does Apple EVER respond to these forums???
