Totally weird bluetooth iTunes problem

Okay this is the most bizarre thing ever I think.
I bought a 30-pin bluetooth adapter for my iPhone dock so I can use my iPhone 5 with it.
Plugged it in & synched no problem (device identifies as 'Arcadia')
Tried to play iTunes from my phone & it flicked quickly through a few covers by itself then indicated that it was playing but no audio was coming out.
I flicked to next song same thing. Tried to have it pause play but it wouldn't.
The slider showed that it was 'stuck' at the start of the song so I slide it halfway into the song and... the song played backwards in 5 second jumps...
Rebooted the phone & the adapter, re-synched etc etc but still the same. Plays backwards in jumps.
Is this the weirdest or what?

I've been having the EXACT SAME problem for months now... still no resolution. Been to a store, they couldnt help either.

  • Weird MSN-iTunes Problem

    So, today, when I started up an iTunes song, a message popped up saying "Windows Live Messenger has had an error and needs to close." I exit iTunes, and I get a message saying "one or more applications is using iTunes scripting interface, quit or don't quit". I then open both programs back up, play a song in iTunes, and I get the same result. Restarted computer, same results. Then I went to a site I frequented and asked for help on the problem, and someone told me to uncheck the "Show songs I'm listening to" setting, and I did. Everything magically works again. So, the problem itself has been resolved. But my question to you folks here is, why now? I've had my current version of MSN and iTunes for months now, with this setting checked and no problems. Is there anything I can do to make it so I can use that setting again?

    Download the Windows Live Messenger plug-in for itunes again?
    If that still doesn't work, try a repair install of itunes.
    Since messenger is giving the error, I think it's the one that needs attention.

  • Some playlists don't show up - weird iPod syncing problems

    Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - couldn't find the answer when I was searching the boards last night. Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an issue with the touch...
    Last night, I plugged my iPod touch (1G) into my MacPro to add some new music. This is when things got weird!
    First, I noticed that my iPod's name had mysteriously changed since the last time I synced it. It used to be called "Christine's iPod" and now it has reverted to the default "iPod touch."
    Next, when I went to add some different playlists to the iPod, I noticed that one of the playlists I wanted to add didn't show up in the Music tab, so I couldn't "tick" it for inclusion on the iPod. This isn't a new playlist, and I have successfully synced it with this iPod in the past. I tried renaming the playlist and making a new playlist with the same songs, and neither of these playlists showed up either. BTW, I definitely don't have too many playlists - I probably have 100-150 playlists total.
    Anyway, I restored my iPod and starting from scratch - and the playlist still didn't appear to be available to sync. I ended up adding the playlist by "manually managing" my music, but this isn't an ideal solution. I'd like to be able to sync the playlist!!
    Don't know if it's relevant, but my bf also has an iPod touch that he syncs to the same iTunes account. We have separate computer logins, and our iTunes Library is on a shared disk on our MacPro (to prevent needlessly wasting HD space due to song replication) and occasionally we both get messages saying we don't own or don't have permission to access the Library when opening iTunes. To solve this, we alter the permissions on the disk and apply to enclosed items. Maybe this happens after updating iTunes or adding new songs? Not certain what triggers it.
    Thanks in advance - this is really bugging me!

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • E72 bluetooth headset problems

    Hi guys
    I just got my E72 2 days, so far so good for me except for this weird bluetooth problem.
    When using bluetooth headset for calls, the connection with the headset will be dropped but the call will remain online. I had to switch over the handset. The headset will indicate that the connection had been dropped but the phone will still show that it is connected to the headset. Previously i had the similiar problem with E71 but the E71 will drop the headset connection after a while. Once in a while, all i need to do is to toggle the bluetooth setting off and on to recover the bluetooth connectivity. E72 keep showing that the headset connection is active even if i toggle the bluetooth connection off.
    The error setting can only be solved by restarting the phone. does anyone have a solution for this? maybe new firmware from nokia to address such problem? or am i the only one with this problem

    I just talket to Nokia's helpdesk. They say that the E72 har microsoft bluetooth stack, and Plantronics uses toshiba bluetooth stack. They therefore do not guarantee compability.
    So Nokia and Plantronics Voyager Pro does not work together. 
    I am having this problem even with Nokia BH-904 headset, not only with another brand (Jabra JX10 Series II in my case). So this theory does not hold.
    However, it seems my E72 had re-adjusted itslef somehow. I still get the headset disconnected, but I do not have to power-cycle the phone anymore. I just have to turn off and back on the bluetooth headset and it will re-connect with the phone, even during conversation. It takes a a few seconds, but I do not have to end the conversation anymore, just keep talking on the handset while I power off and back on the headset. If course it is difficult when driving :-)

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Itunes problem with windows Vista

    ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
    However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
    Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
    Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
    So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
    This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

  • Mac Mini Bluetooth hardware problems ?

    I own a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo 1Gb bought last October, an Apple wireless keyboard and an Apple wireless mouse, both I formerly use without any problems with my old Powerbook G4. By now, I used them with my Mac Mini it worked perfectly fine. But since two or three weeks, I’ve got big Bluetooth connection problem. Randomly, after one or two hours of use, both keyboard and mouse loose connection and the Bluetooth symbol change itself into a strange one. I had a look on your site to learn the meaning of it and the symbol is see which is a Bluetooth symbol with a horizontal zebra means that no Bluetooth hardware can be found! Does my Mac Mini built-in Bluetooth card have problems?
    Since I haven’t got any wired USB keyboard or mouse I have to reboot my Mac Mini quite roughly. Sometimes one reboot is enough to make the Bluetooth of Mac Mini to work again, sometimes not and I have to wait a little bit more (more than ten minutes). I can see it works again as the Bluetooth symbol is the right one again (the one with the dots).
    It is very annoying. And I am a bit sad to have such problems with Apple stuff. Is there something I could do to avoid such a waste of time? Or shall I call Apple Care for fear it should be a hardware problem.
    Of course, I use brand new batteries for both of them.

    My mini is doing it as well. Just started doing 2-3 weeks ago. Logitech Denovo or Apple Bluetooth. Doesn't matter which. Loses it in about an hour or so. Al Keyboards and mice were purchased at about the same time as the core 2 duo mini, ~ last October.
    Must power cycle the machine to get it back and it must be paired again. Very annoying. Can't remember if it coincides with an Apple update.
    This mini has had the superdrive replaced twice, once within 6 weeks of purchase. Ever since Leopard, it's been close to the best media head. now this...
    Sigh.
    (What makes it not the best? Frontrow doesn't sort titles correctly [1, 10, 2, 3 - wrong!], doesn't force mount aliases in the movies directory, doesn't put out 1080p without hacking. And I'd so love eyeTV integration with Frontrow. It'd be perfect then.)

    My computer failed and the main drive had to be formatted but all my music was on a separate internal hard drive. So I downloaded the latest iTunes , problem is it has found all my songs but seems to not recognize half of the album data, half of the artists, all of the dates and all ratings data.
    I had a large part of it backed up on DVD's but it does not want to recognise them either?
    Any tips?

    You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link.  Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

  • Any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?

    Hi.
    Was wondering if anyone has had any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?  In particular, have you had any stuttering and/or pauses in streaming since the upgrade?
    I use a MW600 with my phone and I get stuttering and pauses every few minutes between the phone and the MW600 which is very annoying - to the point where I can't reliably use the phone for audio any more.
    Thanks
    Savcom

    Sorry but it seems to be a problem some users are experiencing. It's already been reported so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

  • 9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

    I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
    I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
    The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
    I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.
