Tracks on my iphone keep jumping/skipping

Dear All,
Since receiving my new iPhone 4 (16GIG) tracks have been jumping/skipping.
These are random songs, audiobooks, and even video.
If I remove all songs and fill the phone videos, sync the iPhone, remove the videos and then replace the songs, different songs start skipping.
I have reset my iPhone, repeatedly, rebuilt my settings from from scratch but the songs keep skipping
It looks to me as though the hard drive either has bad sectors or is just damaged, especially as different songs skip each time I remove/replace them.
Has this happened to anyone else and do I need to get a replacement iPhone.
Best Regards
G

Good guess, but there is no hard drive, the iPhone uses flash memory.
Check Settings > iPod > Shake to Shuffle.
Is it turned on??????
Also, are you listening to music through the speakers, headphones, or bluetooth headset?
I have found when listening via bluetooth headset that audio will "skip" or "pause" anytime the connection between the headset and device is lost for a split second. Also, having the device set to mute will cause all audio to pause anytime a text, email, or push notification activates

Jump / Skipping Problem

I wonder if anyone could help me. I have a 4GB Nano which I purchased about 18 months ago. Everything has been fine until recently. Sometimes when I listen to a track, the iPod starts skipping/jumping. It doesn't skip tracks and it doesn't jump to the next track either. It simply jumps/skips within the track that is playing at the time. The tracks will start to play and then suddenly it will jump to a random point in the song. The jumping/skippig continues until I press stop or until I skip to the next track. Has anyone else experienced this before and what should I do? Should I reset/restore the iPod?
Many thanks.

Hey my ipod Nano is doing almost the same thing. I also have a 4gb that is also skipping but it skips numerous songs all at once, and doen't even play the selection at all. It will just keep skipping till it does play a song..... I Konw how you feel.. I hope we can get this problem fixed. Just to let ya know I have tried to restar my nano but it still doesn't work for me.. If you need to know how to reset ur ipod:
1. slide the Hold switch to HOLD and then back to OFF HOld
2. Then Press the Menue & Center Button at the same time until the Apple Logo appers...
I hope this was helpful in some way..If not I'm truly sorry. Good Luck.

My songs keep jumping can you help?

my songs keep jumping/skipping can you help me to resolve this please

I am having the same problem, too. I asked the Geek Squad at Best Buy and he said it was a problem with protected songs and that I needed to change how the song was converted. I tried that but I received an error message saying because it was a protected song I could not change the conversion. The Geek Squad told me if that didn't work to contact iTunes about possibly re-downloading the song at no charge since I have paid for it once. How do you contact iTunes and either speak with or correspond through support? All I can find is tutorials and discussion pages that are no help. I'm becoming so frustrated I'm about to take my ipod and get my money back!

My phone screen keeps jumping?

my iphone keeps jumping to where the screen is doubled and glitching?

no one has any advice at all? or anything I can try?

My iPod classic keeps jumping to the next track and switching itself off.

My iPod classic keeps jumping to the next track and switching itself off?

It happens randomly. I can be listening to a song, it finishes and then theres no sound. The track doesn't actually start at all. When i say skips i dont mean is in the middle of the song and jumps. I mean the ipod switches to the next track.
Format - All my songs have been ripped from CD's or downloaded from I-Tunes. I cant find the file type, sorry.
I had a look on the link but the symptoms dont link to mine. It happens randomly, not when im cycling or moving the divece nescessarily.
Thanks

Iphone keeps repeating the same track

the iphone keeps repeating the same track, have checked all the settings but can't seem to find any thing thats not set correct.

I think so too. Just select shuffle and you're good to go.

Why do my tracks keep jumping to +6.0db?

I'm using Native Instruments plug-ins. (Battery 3 and Electrik Piano) and the tracks in Logic keep jumping to +6.0 db on the mixer for some reason.
I haven't set track automation. And when I DO set track automation to keep it nice and low, it still jumps up and gets loud.
This isn't happening to my Audio tracks. Does anyone have any idea why these MIDI tracks keep jumping up in volume?
Thanks,

and the tracks in Logic keep jumping to +6.0 db on the mixer for some reason.
Cause you are talking about "tracks", so searching specific CC7 using the Event List is time consuming and a pain if need to process multiple tracks. I can offer a "Track Batch Deletion" tip, so you can do that very fast.
1. Select the tracks in "Question" in the Arrange as shown in the pic below.
2.Open the Transform Window and create new template as shown - i.e Condition Status = Control, and Data Byte 1=7. Note ! Set the Top Right Mode to "Delete Selected Events" and hit "Select & Operate" button below to batch delete all CC7 events in the Arrange selected tracks.
Note: though you have selected the Arrange tracks previously, the "Select & Operate" Transform operation select internally the target events in the regions. You can import that Transformer Template from song to song or keep it in your Starting Template - if any!

How do I disable iPhone keeping track of everywhere I go?

I saw online that the iPhone keeps track of everywhere we have **ever** been and saves this information in a file on the local computer for easy retrieval.
You can see the news article on the guardian's website here
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/20/iphone-tracking-prompts-privacy -fears
And you can download the app to look at what the iPhone has mapped about you here
http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/
"The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program."
My question is how do I turn this map archiving OFF? I do not want my iPhone to keep a map of everywhere I've ever been, and I definitely don't want someone breaking into my computer and getting a copy of where I go either.
And was this tracking mentioned in the EULA?

Yes I saw this and it should be of concern to anyone who has a cell carrier enabled iOS device.
The program on that page doesn't give the exact, second by second, level of detail required for tracking purposes so someone can't use it to snoop. Rather it's a demonstration of what is capable IF the program is modified to show those results as the data is certainly there.
So someone would have to modify the open source code to show more detail, which I'm sure won't be very long at all and we will see the better version hosted somewhere in short order.
The way to defeat this, your phone being remotely tuned on and used as a listening device, and tracking by cell carrier companies who (so far as we now know) keep 6 months of cell tower triangulation records recorded 8 times a hour, is to use what's called a "faraday bag"
A "faraday cage or bag" is a item that can block electronic transmissions. A unplugged, used microwave oven can double as such a device for the home, provided the door is closed.
Also many phones that are off are not really off, passwords have no effect neither.
RDIF bags with stainless steel threads used to block drive by recordings of passports are available (and sold out currently) on sites like ThinkGeek.
Naturally any device in a faraday bag or cage is unable to recieve incoming calls.
And currently in the State of Michigan, police are stopping motorists and using a handheld device to download everything on their phone, over 3,000 models are supported. Encryption, passwords, location data, pictures, chat logs, everything ever done with the device, even stuff that's been erased.
http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/34/3458.asp
Also the SSD/Flash drives used in devices like computers, iPads, iPhones, tablets etc are NOT being erased.
http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/02/17/1911217/Confidential-Data-Not-Safe-O n-Solid-State-Disks
So it appears the government, in cooperation with numerous companies and industries, has sold out any right of privacy we have.
The only option is to not use the devices.

My iphone 4 keeps jumping back to the home page when i open a app.

my i phone 4 wont let me into any apps. every time i try and open something it just keeps jumping back to the home page. iv tryed full restore but it hasnt helped.

Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
Stated a restore has been tried, was that from backup or as "new"?

My music keeps jumping and i cant play it on my iphone since i backed up to icloud. can anyone help me and tell me how to get my music back to normal. thanks

my music on my uphone that i bought through itunes keeps jumping around and i cannot play it since i backed up my phone to icloud. Can anyone help me play my music again without it all jumping around. thanks

Backing up to iCloud should have nothing to do with how your music plays. Try force-closing the misic app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Music in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again. Try your music again.

My playlist keeps jumping back

I will be listening to a playlist on my iPhone 4s for a few songs and then pause. A few hours later I will come back to the music App and press play, but it will start playback from the song that I started with last time. So I have to skip any number of songs to get back to where I left off on the playlist. It does this with playlists or when I listen to my entire library on shuffle. Sometimes it keeps jumping back to the same song, no matter how many times I've paused and restarted. Every once in a while it will remember where I left off, but 9 times out of 10 it does not. This is really annoying since I want to listen to the whole playlist, but have to keep skipping through songs to get back to where I was without having to listen to repeats. Any ideas?

I have the same problem on my iPhone 5S, and it is annoying. There may be a fix, however. Go to the Control Center, it seems you can start your playlist where you left off. I'd prefer to be able to do it in Music.app, or at least to have a preference that lets me continue where I left off in the playlist.
Another thing I noticed. When you add albums to a playlist, it seems the "add all songs" button is missing. That's kind of annoying when the album has lots of songs.

Iphone keeps crashing constantly...

So I open an app, crash I open up pandora radio app (internet radio) *skip skip skip* I do a google search crash then just sends me back to home screen. Any idea why my iphone keeps crashing? I'm running a 3g. I try to do a restart but still does the same thing.

I'm having the same problem with an iPhone4...

HT2589 One of the songs I purchased and down loaded will not play. The arrow/cursor keeps jumping off

I have a song purchased/downloaded, but the arrow keeps jumping off and it will not play

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Volume levels in logic pro X keep jumping up to +5.2 and +5.0 by itself?

Volume levels in logic pro X keep jumping up to 5.2 and 5.0 by itself.There are no plugins nor automation activated on tracks? how can i stop the track levels from jumping?
What do i do to avoid this?

I and the same problem and neither of these fixes solved it. Defintely not a controller problem as guessed.
The problem was solved by going to the step editor - similar to automation - but more hidden, and also taking place in the track at a point that I had trimmed out that heppened before the beginning of the composition.
I solved the problem by going into the step editor of the track and deleting the bar in the volume track that kept setting it, and not showing up as an automation curve.
I found this problem infuriating ,I really hope this solution helps.

My iPhone keeps saying i have no more storage but...

My iPhone keeps telling me I have no storage left so I bought more storage not knowing it was iCloud storage, now I can't figure out how to switch some apps and such to be stored on iCloud it says I have 8.0 gb left on iCloud but keeps coming up and saying my phone has no more storage space..what do I do?

You can't use your iCloud account to expand the capacity of your phone unless you subscribe to iTunes Match and access your iTunes music library from iCloud rather than storing it on your phone.
You can delete apps from your phone, and as long as they are still available in the App store you can later redownload them, but you will lose all app data for the app.
If you need to eliminate some data from your phone, consider importing some or all of your camera roll photos and videos to your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or sync some of your music off your phone with iTunes.
