The Pausing issue... Apple in denial ?

Having read hundreds of posts here and hundreds on the iPodlounge forum, it seems Apple are in denial about the pausing iPod issue, can somebody please let me know when Apple are going to address this problem ? - I have read so many posts where people are going to Apple Stores and the Genius people deny ever hearing about the pausing isssue. My 60 GB has been pausing for a while now, and so far no fix has solved the issue. Is there a software hack out there that by-passes the pause when headphones are removed issue ? or can Apple include this as an optinon in the next update ? The function is not really required anyway, it takes seconds to plug the phones back in. My problem started when I purchased a 3rd party pair of headphones to replace my faulty stock ones, my replacements are better quality and really show how good the iPod is APART FROM THIS PAUSING PROBLEM - APPLE you need to address this issue PLEASE - I want to continue loving my iPod on the headphone I choose to use not be forced to use the mediocre supplied ones.
Thanks

I tried several pairs,
1) Senheiser CX 300 for home use,
2) Senheiser MX 550 for 'out and about'
With both pairs I get the 'pause' issue, other non Senheisser ones did too, Panasonic, Sony - the only ones that do work are the supplied Apple ones, but mine are faulty (they got wet), so rather than re-order a pair of stock ones I thought I would 'upgrade' to a pair that sounded better. Ironically Apple sell both the Senheiser pairs in the Online Apple Store and they come recommended. Unfortunately I, along with hundreds of other people, are suffering the 'pause issue' which is one I feel Apple need to address right away and provide a firmware solution. I never had this problem on previous iPods regardless of the headphones I used. Incidentally it is a headphone socket issue as I also plug my iPod via the dock into a hi-fi, no pausing problems at all (I tend to unplug the phones when listening this way) so I am **** sure its to do with the sockets sensitivity and firmware.
AN UPDATE APPLE...... PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE.

My feedback on the antenna issue

I suggest Apple do one of these things:
1) Sell the phones with a bumper already installed on the phone. They'll have to change the packaging for this to fit the bumper, but it will make the bumper a part of the whole phone package and design. If you remove the bumper and experience the antenna issue, Apple can then say "well then don't remove it, akin to the "it hurts when I do this" doctor analogy.
For users who've already bought the phone, either an Apple store credit equal to the price of a bumper, receive 1 free bumper by going to the Apple store or mail 1 free bumper to each person who purchased an iPhone 4.
Commercials should be changed to show the user using the bumper whenever they make calls. If using the phone on wifi without a bumper, include a disclaimer at the bottom of the ad that states that the cellular connection requires usage of a bumper.
2) Apply a coating to the steel rim which minimizes the amount of attenuation to an amount on par with attenuation other smartphones experience when held the same way. People buying new iPhone 4s will no longer see the issue. People who've already bought an iPhone 4 can return their phone and receive a brand new phone that has the coating applied, along with assistance to copy the contents of their old phone to the new one. Old phones can then have the coating applied and sold as refurbished phones, or used for parts.
Note that none of this requires people who are happy with their phones to return them or even go pick up their bumper.
This is simply my own feedback regarding the issue of the abnormal amount of signal attenuation. If you have feedback on the issue, whether it be positive or negative, feel free to post as well, but direct the feedback at apple, not me.

How i get by with the sleep, pause issue after 1.0.2 update

ok. i'm sure you guys are aware of the ipod sleeping/pausing issue after updating your ipod to 1.0.2. my ipod will pause whenever it is in the jensen dock station and the green battery indicator shows up. whenever i use the dock or remote to unpause the song, a few seconds later, it pauses again. so instead of using the dock or remote to play, unpause, whatever, i connect the ipod to the dock and use the wheel to navigate and 'only' use the play/pause button on the ipod itself to kick off the playing of music. if i go back to the remote, the ipod pauses. if i only use the menu and play/pause button on the wheel, my songs do not pause. it sure was nice using the remote before 1.0.2. i mean, it did come with the dock for my remoting pleasure but alas, i shall wait on the next update. hope this helps someone.

I will have to try that... I took my iPod to work today and plugged it into my JBL docking station and it was skipping. I did notice it seemed to go to sleep more often when I used the remote... There's a whole other forum on this maybe you could check out too. But it's really annoying and I hope Apple comes out with a fix soon! I will definitely try to use the iPod wheel tomorrow and not the remote.

Does the 1.1 Update offer any relief from the "random pause" issue?

My iPod is exhibiting the "random pause" issue and is going to the Apple Store this weekend. In the meantime I'm going to install the v1.1 update, but just wanted to get some feedback on whether this fixed the problem for anyone else?
Thanks.

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar once already) my WiFi isn't working on my iPhone 4S. This is really infuriating and costly!!! I see others have the same issues. Can't Apple do anything about this? It's obviously a hardware problem!

For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working. They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing. I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
I see others have this issue too.
If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it? Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012. The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?

For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual. If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.

A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center. You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address. 800-694-7466

Upgraded to iPhone 6, cannot get into iCloud. "The password you entered is incorrect" even though I used the same Apple ID and password that I used to log into this session. My wife has the same issue with her iPhone 6 as well.

iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2) My wife and I were able to log into iCloud when we bought and activated the phones. In the last 2 days, we have not been able to do so. Have reset the password 3 times. Can get into iTunes and iCloud via MacBook Pro. Every attempt to log in via iPhone we get a message saying the password is incorrect. I noticed someone else had a similar problem about 1 hour ago. Apple support's answer did not fix the problem for them.

have you managed to fix that? i'm facing the same issue on iPhone 6 (8.1.3)

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

Getting the error message"your apple ID has been disabled" . I reset my ID password last night and am still having the same issue.

If you are still unable to access your account after resetting your password, you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Like many others, I got the new iPad 3 and couldn't sync all of my photos. The best i got was 1,000 out of 15,000 to work. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 and said the syncing issue was resolved. I erased my ipod cache and hit sync. Still locked.

Like many others, I got my new IPad 3 and could not sync all of my photos. The highest I got was 1,000 out of 15,000. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 that , among other things, said it fixed the sync issue with photos. I excitedly, erased my ipod cache and hit sync. It looked like it was working, but just like before iTunes locked. This time at 2,244 of 15,000. Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

What's the capacity of your iPad?
iTunes needs up to 3x of the actual size of the files you want to sync during the sync process. And syncing 15.000 photos could cross the size of the available free space on your device.
Don't forget that the pictures are now optimized for the retina display, so the size increases for each of them.

I'm getting S.M.A.R.T. error when trying to install Mountain lion. Hard drive works pretty well despite the Failing status. I understand that many users have been facing the same issue. My hard drive was/is working perfectly. Has Apple patched it yet?
Has someone found a solution which is not replacing the hard drive which works just fine? Or Is anyone aware of a procedure that can force the installation despite the S.M.A.R.T error? Below details of my hard drive
Thanks

If you haven't done so, run Disk Utility /Applications/Utilities
to run a live verification.
The drive may be ok at the moment, but that's not to say the drive may fail at anytime.
Hopefully you have all your important data backed up just in case.

My MacBook Retina has been shutting off multiple times per day. It is beginning to happen more frequently. What can I do to locate the exact issue? My warranty has expired so I would like to get to the bottom of it without taking it in to an apple store.

I am currently learning how to do diagnostics on mac hardware but I am not a native mac user. It is unlikely that this is a software issue. Please, any input will be helpful.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

There are white squares on my screen at the top. Apple care is telling me I'm out of warranty. This seems like an Apple LCD screen issue. The problem seems to be widespread. How is apple dealing with this. apple care told me it would cost me 260.00

Apple should be fixing this problem for free. It is a hardware issue. Check the Web. A lot of your customers are having the same problem. If I have to spend money to fix this I will be choosing a different cell phone provider

That the problem has happened to someone else, or even to a couple of dozen people, does not make it a "widespread problem". Apple has sold millions of iPhones, so even if hundreds have experienced the problem that's still a very small failure rate.
Your iPhone is out of warranty, so you will need to pay for service. If Apple finds this to be a screen issue, in many Apple Stores they can replace the screen for US $149. If it's not a screen issue or your local Apple Store can not yet replace the screen, then Apple replaces the entire iPhone. Those are their policies, and complaining about it, particular here in these user-to-user forums, will accomplish nothing.
You are free to pay some unauthorized shop to attempt repair, or attempt your own repair, if you wish, though you will void any further support from Apple, for any price, if you do.
There is nothing more anyone here can tell you.
Regards.

Is Apple aware of the Wifi issue with the IOS8 upgrade?

Is Apple aware of the WiFi issue with the IOS8 update? If so, what are the doing about it?

Ipad, wifi stops working and I have to restart my iPad and log in again. It only stays logged into my wifi for a short while then it drops it again. I followed instructions from other threads to reset my IPad and my router...still having issues. The same thing happened the last time I updated my IOS.

How do u get help from apple support with iChat? I was able to chat with support last week to solve my problem but now the same issue is back and I don't see the option to chat now?

For what it is worth I have noticed a similar issue from the iPad3 while at work and home. At work we have two Apple TV 3rd Generation installed and tied to our A/V system. I believe the issue has to do with a timeout on the broadcast saying "here I am" and allowing devices to connect.
For example:
At work we have several Wi-Fi SSID being broadcast from Cisco APs. The only one we can use with the Apple TV is the one that uses a WEP since the others are either setup to be hidden, require web page authentication, or have a login requirement from employees. Essentially, what I believe the issue is that the Apple TV periodically broadcasts a message to other iOS devices that support Mirroring. When the Apple TV does not get a response from a device it goes into a dormant mode and requires either a command from the remote control or a reboot. This has been tested with both the power management enabled and not enabled with the same results.
As for when I come home, the Apple TV3 has not seen the device in some time and therefore is not broadcasting it's location information. A simple click of the circle or menu keys on the remote will give it the command to start broadcasting again and allow the iPad3 to see the Apple TV. When trying to Home Share the computer can not play (iTunes 11, Win8RTM) until the Apple TV is awoken then it will show up for mirroing.
This may or may not assist you but, it hopefully explains how the issue may be happening.

The Pausing issue... Apple in denial ?
