Video stops halfway and goes to selection menu

I Have an ipod classic 160gb windows formatted.
While playing some movies, tv shows, or music videos half way through my ipod goes back to the video selection screen as if i pressed the menu button.
I converted all my video files using the same encoder to mp4 format for my ipod, also using the same exact settings bitrate and all for all the files.
Alot of the files play flawlessly there is only a scattered few that while watching it the file just stops playing half way as if i pressed the menu button they go to the video selection screen. Please help me with this.
I have a bad feeling that most of the people who experience this problem use windows.
Also i think i should mention that i just came from the apple store from getting a replacement ipod a week ago, i was experiencing music problems where a few scattered song in my 30gb music library just skipped and never played the track however they played on itunes on the computer just fine, the genius at the store said he heard of this error plenty times and didnt even bother trying to duplicate the problem and just gave me the replacement ipod. Also he mentioned all the times he heard of the problem the users where windows users.
Maybe these two problems are related somehow.
Help????
I forgot to add that though the video files do stop halfway, at least for me all i have to do is select the file again and search for the spot where I left off and it will continue playing with no problem, also i have the option selected where the ipod remembers where i left off on videos and to start from that position but when this happens it doesnt remember where i left off and i have to search for the spot myself.
Thought that was vital info worth mentioning as well.
Even though i have a manual fix for it, its still an inconvenience seeing as how i payed 350+ for this piece of technology and i would prefer to get my full moneys worth.
Thanks again, hope there is smart people here who can figure this out. or at least apple becomes aware of this glitch and releases a fix.

Since i have so much music its hard to spot but i just recently noticed it happened to a couple of my songs as well they cut off half way and go to the next track, i have to select the song again and fast forward a few seconds past where it stopped so i can finish listening to the song again.
If i fast forward to a few seconds before it stopped it will stop again at the same spot, i have to go a few seconds past where it originally stopped so it can finish playing, its like its ram needs to be rehashed or reloaded or something.
If anybody else is having this problem please state if you are using windows or apple os and what ipod generation you are using.
Again i am using windows xp and ipod classic 160gb.
Im pretty sure its a windows only glitch.

Songs are stopping halfway and skipping to the next song

I recently imported some new songs onto my itunes, and some songs are stopping halfway and skipping to the next song. This is happening both on my itunes on mac and on my ipod classic. I have already checked the ending time of the songs, and also checked the audio file to see if it was corrupted. I have also tried deleting the song and importing it on itunes again, but nothing changes. It's becoming quite annoying, and I would really like to fix the problem..

I, too, am having this problem as of two updates ago. It' been like this for about two weeks now. Music stops, songs skip like I'm using an old CD player and went over a bump - just abruptly stopping/changing to the next song. I've also noticed VERY clear and sudden changes in song quality while streaming, it's a bit jarring.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and I'm using T-Mobile.
I have tried the following:
Restart phone
Clear data
Uninstall and reinstall
Lower streaming quality
I've noticed this seems to only happen on streamed songs.. downloaded ones are OK. Everything was fine until the update that changed the 'Your Music' section :(
Edit: Wifi works fine.. It seems to either be a) streaming over T-Mobile or b) how Spotify handles streaming/slow connections/whatever has changed in a recent update. Can past and future repliers include their mobile carrier to see if there's a trend?

My ipad touch screen not,also reseted it. It stops suddenly and goes out of control. Need answer very quickly

My ipad touch screen not,also reseted it. It stops suddenly and goes out of control. Need answer very quickly???????

Try doing a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help, take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check out the screen to see if there is a hardware fault.

Line on the screen of my ipod touch 4th gen. Starts left of the screen as a blue (bright backgr) or red (dark backgr) line becoming white halfway and going across screen. Any ideas/solutions?

I have an irritating line on the screen of my 4th gen ipod touch going left to right. It starts out as a blue line (with bright backgroung) or red line (with dark background). Switching backrounds will also switch the color of the line. Sometimes it stops halfway the screen. Sometimes the blue/red line becomes white somewhere halfway the screen and continuing as a white line to the other side of the screen. It mostly starts out as a normal screen and when using the blue/red line appears and when using some more the white part appears.Mostly in the beginning the line starts flickering and becomes more steady after a while.
I have searched on the internet but can only find info on some pixels acting weird (stuck/frozen/dead pixels). This is a whole line of pixels not doing what they are supposed to do.
Anyone an idea what this could be and how to solve it?
Thanks,

Did you ever fix this? My daughters is the same. Treated with tender loving care, we reset to factory and it disappeared but was back again after 2 or 3 days. Still in warranty so going to take to the genius bar, however a bit concerned that because it belongs to an 11 year old they are going to assume she's damaged it.

AME Stops halfway and doesn't move!

Hi guys,
I can't encode using the AME - it stop halfway on the encoding process - just totally stops, but the program is still responsive, ie it's not frozen and still responds thru finder etc.
Any tips? This only just started happening. Literally yesterday.
I have to force quit it to restart the process. Super annoying
My system:
iMac 27
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
Thanks
Pat

Switch to software rendering indtead of Cuda and OPEN CL. See if that solves the problem. We have seen a few cases where video card GPU runs out of RAM and it causes the apps to stop processing. If software rendering works, I suspect that is what is happening.

I have had my iPad for six months and it has worked great till last week then the video cuts out and goes green

Question, video cut in and out and goes green?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Isight stops responding and goes unrecognised

On my intel mac my isight camera sometimes just stops responding and fails to be recognised as a valid input source....typically this happens after a week or so of being plugged in, but it is quite random.
BUT, both my father and aunt have the same problem with different cameras on different computers.
In all cases rebooting the computer does not clear the problem. The only solution is to unplug and re-plug the camera.
I never have to unplug or re-plug my firewire disk drives so what is the problem here?

Hello Roger Price,
Unless someone comes in w/a specific Intel/Mac suggestion, I'm going to repeat myself and suggest that anyone with an external FW HD and iSight, consider not using them both at the same time.
Take a look at the other discussions in this group and be sure and see EZ Jim's Blog pages.
For whatever reason iSight does not seem play well with other FW devices.
I never have my iSight plugged in, much less in use, when backing up or using an external HD. Just too much chance that a problem will occur and I'll lose data. And I've found that living w/the problem isn't all that hard. When I'm expecting our weekend family conferance, I pull the HD and plug in the iSight. Seriously, less than 5 seconds. Not ideal but it works for me.
Respectfully,
Bill Gallagher

I can't update my itunes it stops halfway and says the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable! Help!

I've been trying to update my itunes for AGES now and it just won't seem to do it! Everytime it get's halfway and say the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say can't be found, elle? (Several different .msis could be mentioned in the context: iTunes.msi, Bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

Dreamweaver cs5.5 on win 7 recently failed to open/load and just stops loading and goes away. Never makes it to fully load.

How do i fix the load issue. It wont load anymore. i see the opening version screen and then it vanishes and goes away. Never loaded. this just started recently in the last week or two.

Try turning on your OS's hidden files and clearing the program cache: Deleting a corrupted cache file
If that doesn't work, renaming the personal configuration folder at the location discussed above can fix issues the cache clearing doesn't. If neither of those work, restoring preferences can help: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5

Apple TV stops playback and goes to menu

Hi, I'm having an intermitent problem with my apple TV since last update. When playing any content (TV/movie) I select the item, choose to play it, it is authorised, starts buffering and playing and then at some point the program stops and the apple tv main menu appears. It then means when restarting watching the program or movie that it has not saved the point at which I reached and I have to forward wind through the item.
I have checked my router settings and reset the router, nothing makes a difference. I have watched a whole movie without it happening and then today when watching a 45 minute TV episode, gave up after 10 minutes as it happened three times. It has happened with other movies also, very intermitently.
Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it?

Yes, I have this problem. My ATV worked as advertised before the update, not so much anymore. Eventually, I became frustrated enough to do a restore through iTunes. Waste of time. Seems the ATV likes to sporadically drop network connection or ignore it entirely.
One solution I've found is choosing "forget network" (even though the signal shows a good connection), followed by a restart of ATV, then reconnect to the network. However, this is a temporary fix and I am prepared to try this every time I use the ATV.
Another solution is to turn off my Airport, restart the ATV, then turn the Airport on.
Sometimes I get frustrated enough to be tempted to try another restore. Thankfully I have books, and a girlfriend that likes to play chess, so I have other options.

Final Cut HD produced video stops halfway on dvd player

So, I'm having an issue that I have never experienced. The movies that I have edited on Final Cut HD and burned on IDVD seem to stop half way on my dvd player. I've edited three different movies and they all seem to stop half way on the dvd player or just wont play on any dvd player... i can press foward on the dvd player but the movie has little squares all over. Apple has sent me a new dvd burner and I after burning a new disk last night, I had the same issue. When I open the movie and review on Final Cut, their does not appear to be corrputed video. I have also tried another brand of DVD+R DL disk and nothing. I need your help because my clients are getting anctious. thanks.

If the exported file looks OK in the QT player, you might try asking the question on the iDVD forum and see if anyone there has come across the problem. It sounds like a hardware issue though.
You might try building a disk image in iDVD and see if that place correctly on your computer before you burn it. That will tell you if it's an encoding problem or a burning problem.

Why does video stop playing and restarting?

Mostly you tube and netflix. The video will play for a couple seconds then stop, then start, then stop...I am sick of looking at the spinning wheel and being able to watch video. Is this an Adobe Flash Player issue and how do I fix it?

I am sick of watching the spinning wheel and NOT being able to watch video. Is there an alternative to Adobe Flash Player? Will Quick Time play these videos? Can you set it to be the default player?

Video stops audio keeps going

In the middle of a video on Youtube that I was watching today, the video suddenly stopped while the audio kept going. The video continues if I move my cursor over the video, but stops again when I stop. This does not happen on Chrome. I have Firefox 26.0.

I have faced similar issues in Chrome.
Usually refreshing the page works.
This is most probably a fault in YouTube's player.
Are you getting this problem always?
Please post the link to the video.

Mavericks Time Machine stops halfway and weird mds errors

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks I have not been able to do backups using Time Machine. Most of the time it stops during the "Preparing Backup..." phase but by deleting prefs and incomplete backups I have been able to get about 50% into writing the backup to my external drive. The backup doesn't crash, but all disk writes and reads stop and the process uses no CPU (it also makes no progress, I've waited there for about an hour after the bar stopped moving).
In addition to this (and possibly related, although I don't know how) I get this message in the console every 30s when my external hard drive is plugged in:
mds[37]: (Error) Server: mdsync launch failed: (ipc/send) invalid destination port
and mdutil -as gives me:
    Indexing and searching disabled.
/.MobileBackups:
2013-12-23 16:30:43.345 mdutil[555:507] Metadata.framework [Error]: mdsCopyStoreAttributes failed: (8) (os/kern) no access
    No index.
/Volumes/Hitachi:
    Indexing and searching disabled.
/Volumes/Hitachi/Backups.backupdb:
    Indexing enabled.
I have indexing turned off for all my drives, so I imagine the indexing is on for the backups folder as a default necessity (I cannot seem to be able to turn it off using the mdutil command).
Does anyone know how these two things are connected and what could possibly be going wrong?

Linc Davis wrote:

I suggest you turn it back on, at least on the ones you want to back up.
Is this necessary? It seems to do half the backup without it. If I remember correctly I have indexing turned off not only because I don't use it but also because it was hanging up/using a lot of CPU... If I absolutely must I will turn the indexing back on and wait for it to do its dirty business, but I'm a bit reticent in trading my problem for one that I don't really have an interest in solving.
