Songs keep pausing mid track

This is driving me crazy, i think it might have something to do with the headphones or a faulty jack leading into the ipod. I put a song on to play, put the ipod in my bag to keep it safe and then the song automatically pauses even though the hold button is on and it's not as if the headphones have been pulled out of their socket. Has anyone else experienced this? I suppose the only thing to do is to take the ipod in to a shop to fix or get serviced. I would change the headphones over to test if they are the problem only i don't have any other headphones other than the ones supplied with the original ipod. What's a girl to do?!

Not convinced why this is still an issue. I have found that it has been going on for ages (2006)! Come on Apple?! ITunes is a staple program that has seen incredible attention and development. A classic case of market share. It would be a pain in the arss to not use it and you guys know it. Surely, it would be simple to code an automatic (occasional) scan/fix to music files or processor in order to avoid these problems.\\
At this point, I am not expecting reprocussions from my post. Just wanted to offer my 2c.....

  • Itunes keeps pausing mid song

    Hi
    i have the latest version of Itunes on my PC & running Windows 7  and before i upgraded everything was perfectly working with the old itunes . As soon as i upgraded itunes, the songs are pausing from anything from 30 secs to a whole min and then resume play.
    I have re installed itunes countless of times and still nothing is working. I thought maybe it was a quicktime player problem so i re -installed that too, again nothing.
    There will be times when the song plays fully with no breaks but then the next song will have multiple breaks and will not play properly
    Any help would be appreciated as this is very annoying

    The Apple Store won't be able to do anything unless they see the problem happen there.

  • Newbie to Garage Band...  I notice my playhead keeps stopping mid-track...

    I'm new at Garage Band.
    On my G5 PowerPC, Garage Band seems to get "stuck" during playback (or listening to the samples).
    It's frustrating as heck, because I can't listen to any track without an interruption every 5-8 seconds.
    It doesn't seem to do that on my Macbook though.
    Anyone know what causes this hiccup?

    Hello,
    I'm still having the same problem with GarageBand. About half the time I try to play a loop, or add it to the timeline and play it, it STOPS.
    It's not a lag, not a delay. It just STOPS.
    Sometimes it plays through for 1 second, sometimes for 5, but never for 10 seconds.
    I have a Macbook, and the problem never happens. It only happens on my G5 PowerPC.
    Does anyone have an idea what I might be doing wrong? I checked the link above and found no answers.

  • How to change the key of a MIDI track

    There has to be an easy answer for this.
    I have a Midi drum loop that I am using. I have changed the instrument so instead of the MIDI notes playing through a drum synth it is using one of logic's piano software instruments.
    What I am trying to do is change the KEY of this loop. It seems to only play in C. If I go to the piano roll, copy all the notes of the loop and move the notes up or down, I was thinking I should be able to alter the key/chord that the loop is playing. However, no matter what I do, the loop still seems to be in C.
    What is going on? And what can I do to easily change the key of this loop?

    How is Space Designer keeping the MIDI track in the same key of C
    I have no idea. I would normally think that such a thing is not possible.
    What is the instrument? What happens if you create a new track, and load this instrument, and create a new midi region, and load SD? Same problem? What about if you do this in a new project? Same problem?

  • My iPod classic (160 gb) keeps pausing randomly in the middle of songs. What do I do to fix this?

    So, I got my iPod classic about 5 months ago. Every once in a while, it will pause in the middle of a song. This usually happens soon after I lock or unlock it, and if I touch the wheel, but also happens if I let it play without touching it.
    I've searched for solutions, but everyone says that their iPods keep pausing for a few seconds, then continue. When mine pauses by itself, it doesn't continue until I press the play button.
    According to iTunes, my iPod is updated with the latest software. So, I reset my iPod (middle button and menu at the same time), but it didn't fix the problem. Then, with iTunes, I reset my iPod. Again, this didn't help.
    It isn't because of my headphones because the same thing happened when I listened with different buds.
    Does anyone know what I should do?

    i to am having the same problem on my week old ipod classic did you manage to sort it out?? if so HELP please

  • When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing and making little clicking noises. Any ideas?

    When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing for brief moments and making little clicking noises. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Error -36 is an I/O error, which could indicate a damaged Catalog file, corrupted bitmap or (even worse) a dying HD.
    I would recommend to run Disk Utility and perform a 'Verify disk'.
    If lots of errors are found, try to save as much files as possible to another disk.
    Then perform a 'Repair disk'. Repairing a catalog file or bitmap might cause loss of files, that's why I recommend to verify first and save the files, before repairing.

  • When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do I lose my midi tracks when exporting a song to iTunes from GarageBand?

    I have been using GarageBand for many years and have never had any real problems--it has always delivered. Recently, though, I finished a track that I wanted to share online, so I tried to get it into MP3 format via iTunes. After listening to it in iTunes, I noticed that none of the midi tracks were there. I tried exporting it again at a higher quality, then in a different format (AAC), and every time, I ended up with a track lacking all midi parts. Does anyone know why that would be or, more importantly, how to fix this problem? Many thanks!

    I received the following response from email support:
    The reason you saw an amount higher than what was actually in your account may be due to your account information not being updated. This can happen, for example, when you use multiple computers to make iTunes Store purchases. You can refresh your account information at any time, which will in turn update the store credit amount iTunes displays next to your account name. To do this, sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign in again.
    It seems that the balance itunes is originally reporting should not be there and it is refreshed (and removed) once the new balance is added.
    It's kind of unfortunate that the itunes store can't properly track an account balance (especially since I only use 1 computer for my account), but that's your answer. Hopefully Apple will get around to correcting this in the future, as it's pretty frustrating.

  • How do I make fades in MIDI tracks without recording the track first

    I have "RTFM";s and spent 2 hours at an Apple store with their resident "Logic Pro specialist" who was also unable to use the transform window to, basically, make [assign] a tool for, in this case, fading every dotted quarter note in the whole song, there must be a Widget wiz out there who could make one that could be used as a dedicated tool for adjustable MIDI fades. Yes, I could bounce[record]the track and edit the Audio file but almost all options as far as tempo, key,etc. are lost-wasn't this the reason for MIDI as opposed to analog? no, the degradation of copy/cut in analog sound opposed to digital mode is the reason, it's a pity no one from Apple seems to care about their own products enough to read these forums, stuck in traffic probably, crying all the way to the Bank. Thanks in advance for all the help!

    Hi,
    From what I read in your post, there is a MIDI performance which contains dotted quarter notes, which you would like to fade out before the note ends. Am I correct?
    What I have done in the past, and I do this to an AUDIO track... is to use a gate. I set it so that it closes x milliseconds aftdr opening, and closes at a rate of X milliseconds.
    So I recommend you render the dotted quarter notes and use an audio gate to accomplish this task.
    Or, you can spend hours trying to do it in MIDI-land. And fail. This will get you there in about 3-5 minutes of fiddling.
    I have tried before to do it with a MIDI gate, but... they are not as flexible or good-sounding as the audio one.
    Of course, you'll end up "losing" your ability to change the tempo etc... BUT, you can always keep the Midi performance, and re-print a version at a new tempo if that is what you need to do. I do this alll the time, with one caveat: I find the key and tempo FIRST, before doign the basic tracking. Then that is no longer an issue. But you can do it any other way you like.
    Cheers

  • IPOD TOUCH KEEPS PAUSING ITSELF! PLEASE HELP

    HI EVERYONE<
    I HAVE PROBABLY THE MOST ANNOYING PROBLEM THE IPOD TOUCH COULD HAVE...IT KEEPS PAUSING THE SONGS (AND EVEN VIDEOS) AFTER EVERY FEW MINUTES...EVEN IF ITS LOCKED. NOW I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING LIKE RESETTING IT, RESTORING IT AND ALL THAT AND EVEN DRAINING THE WHOLE BATTERY AND CHARGING IT AGAIN. IT WONT WORK.
    I HAVE HAD MY IPOD TOUCH FOR A MONTHS NOW AND I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF **** FROM IT. THING IS, FIRST IT COULD NOT TURN OFF BUT I SORTED THAT BY RESTORING IT AND RESETTING IT MULTIPLE TIMES I MUST SAY. BUT NOW, ANYTHING I PLAY EITHER A VIDEO OR A SONG PAUSES ON ITS OWN!!! I COULD SIMPLY PRESS PLAY AGAIN BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS INTO THE SONG, IT PAUSES AGAIN. I CAN NEVER HAVE IT IN MY POCKET NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO CLICK "PLAY" EVERY 15 SECONDS ARGGH. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME

    I also want to submit my experience. Same exact thing happened to mine. It only happened after the recent update to ver 2.0.2 (5C1), and it's really ANNOYING!! You can't listen to an mp3 or any music this way when it pauses every few seconds! Of course, all the free apps I downloaded could be subject to scrutiny... Overall, the new apps as well as the default apps seem to still work with minimal issues.
    The music sometimes jumps ahead to the next track, but mostly just pauses randomly within each track. Last night I temporarily cleared it up by holding the power off for 5 seconds, and it provides a red slide off [something I never saw before], waited a few minutes, then turned back on. (Found this step on another post.) I imagine this resets the system and may clear some garbage. After I did this [a few times] I successfully listened through a track or two, but was so peeved, and paranoid, I couldn't enjoy the music! I hope this doesn't happen next time. I thought it was a corrupted mp3 at first, but it happens to all tracks, and it seems to be an internal problem. If this continues, I may want to clear reset the whole device and possibly revert back to when it worked great, but then again, they may clear it up with another software revision.

  • No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

    I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today.  It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks.  I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar.  Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly.  I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3.  Then I shut the computer down.  Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine.  Nothing is muted and I've checked everything.  Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track.  This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing.  I've rebooted etc and same
    I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

    I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems.  I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again.  I've turned off ducking and it still works.  Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

  • My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

    My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

    Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

  • ITunes 11: playback keeps pausing in random spots.

    My songs keep stopping in random places, and then playback will continue. The same thing has started happening when I try and watch movies through iTunes as well.
    It is as if the songs have trouble streaming through iTunes (if that is even possible), but its like watching a youtube video with poor internet connection.
    Is there any way to fix this, or should I take it in to the apple store to get it checked out?
    I am currently using the latest version of iTunes and did not have the problem before I updated to iTunes 11.

    I'm seeing similar behavior, although it doesn't usually pause in the middle of a song, it will pause between songs and syncing with the iPhone now also causes it to pause, with the spinning beach ball and the Dock icon's context menu showing "Application Not Responding".
