  • Why do some songs and videos stop playing or freeze while playing?

    I have an 80 gig iPod classic that I never had problems with until now. I started noticing songs and videos I bought from iTunes aren't working. They will play for 30 seconds, stop, and go to the next song. I called iTunes, and they told me to use the online support but it hasn't helped me. Every time I go on there, it just tells me to call again. I've also tried to restore my iPod and it didn't work, so I'm wondering if anyone else has found and alternate way to fix it.

    I have a similar problem.  My IPod 5 and 3Gen will stop playing songs about halfway through. The timer indicates its playing but no music.  When I've checked these songs on in ITunes they pay fine and completely.  I've tried removing them from ITunes and downloading again but with no success.  This seems to be random and as I have over 2K worth of songs its difficult for me to determin where the problem is.  One of the reasons I purchased the IPod 5 was hopes to eliminate this problem.  Any ideas on what other things I can do to solve this problem?

  • My iphone 4s just randomly stopped playing sounds or any audio without the use of headphone

    Phone will just not play sounds not matter what quick fix i try unless i am using siri which seems to work

    Thanks, I tried that. However, this is what I did and what worked!! I saw this technique on a previous message on this site.
    I blew air into the headphone output with a camera cleaning blowy bulb, and put in my headphones, turned them around, and pulled them out  several times.
    My headphone output my have been compromised with dust or dirt !
    Thank you again for your reply.
    PS I called Apple support and the fellow had no idea how to fix this.

  • Why does my ipod touch (2nd Gen) 32G randomly stop playing while at the same time the volume control slider dissappears?

    It randomly stops playing after as little as 7 seconds and as much as 2 minutes.   To resolve the problem I began removing and reinserting headphone jack.  This sometimes rectified the issue, but inevitably it would stop playing again.  I have blown air into the headphone jack receptical and powered down the product but neither action has permanently corrected the problem. 
    It has been a couple of months since it was last restored.
    Any thought on why this has just started to happen.  Does it need to be repaired by Apple?  The item was purchased in Sept 2009.

    It is possible you have a faulty lock/power button. One of my friends iPods did this. See if a faulty lock/power button is covered by your warranty if you don't have a warranty you might have to pay a pretty penny to get it fixed. When the screen flashes does it go black and come back at the lockscreen? If so it is very much the lock/power button.

  • HLS encryption VOD randomly stop playing on IOS

    We have 4 AMS servers load balanced (DNS) with identical application on each. RTMPe is playing fine from flash desktops, however, HLSe on IOS devices randomly stops playing part way through the content. I do not see any relevant errors in AMS/Apache. The front end player shows the following errors when the content stops playing:
    "CoreMediaErrorDomain" "No response for media file in 0.49632s"
    "CoreMediaErrorDomain" "Segment exceeds specified bandwidth for variant"
    Similar issues discussed here: http://openradar.io/15060374 (thought not AMS specific).
    This could be a player issue. It seems to randomly have issues grabbing an HLS segment. Has anyone else had any similar issues?

    I just wanted to add an update in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.  I seem to have found a solution to the problem.  Here's what I did:
    1) Plugged in to my computer and removed all music from my iPod (just unselected "sync music" then allowed the iPod to sync).
    2) In iTunes, under the summary tab of my iPod, I selected "convert higher bit rate songs to 256 kbps AAC" in the options section.
    3) I synced my iPod.  This took a REALLY long time, as I have just over 52GB of music that I chose to put on my iPod.  This is 52GB AFTER the conversion to 256kbps.  Anyway, it took a couple hours to sync the first time because it had to convert almost every song.  After the first sync, it doesn't take long to sync unless I add a lot of songs and even then, it only takes a few minutes.
    I've listened to my music on a variety of devices (in my car, different types of headphones, computer at work etc) and haven't noticed any degradation in quality, despite the fact that nearly all of the original music files on my computer are 320kbps.  I'm not sure if the problem I was having was due to the higher bitrate or the fact that the original music files are a variety of formats (aac, mp3, wav, and some others).
    I did this later in the evening after I posted the original question and have not had a problem since (about 15 days).  Skipping songs seems to go a lot faster as well.  I use my iPod a good 6-10 hours everyday, so I think that having no problems in the last 15 days is pretty good evidence that this is a good solution.
    Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that stops by here

  • Many of my older ITunes downloads play perfectly well on my IMac but constantly skip to the next song or suddenly stop playing on my IPhone. The problem is the same with both my old 4s and my new 5s. I have tried deleting and re-downloading to the phones.

    Many of my older ITunes downloads play perfectly well on my IMac but constantly skip to the next song or suddenly stop playing on my IPhone. The problem is the same with both my old 4s and my new 5s  phones. I have tried deleting and re-downloading my music library to the phones, but the result is always the same.

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • Music randomly stops playing (same problem in multiple apps)

    Since a few days, my Z1C will randomly stop playing sound, while I'm listening music. It will do this up to multiple times per minute, seems somewhat like a online game lagging really badly, after which it will just pause.
    It does this on multiple apps (I tried it on the following
    - Spotify
    - Walkman (or whatever the music app is called now)
    - Audible (audiobooks)
    The issue happens both when I listen through my bluetooth headphones (Jaybird bluebuds x) as well as on speaker.
    I have had the phone for somewhat more than a year now, I recon. The headphone jack is broken because of my own rough handling, but that wasn't a big deal so far because I use bluetooth anyway.
    Anyone know what to do about this? 

    Hi Bmot,
    Welcome to the community.
    You could try booting the device in to safemode, at least this way you can find out if software is the suspect or if it is more likely hardware.

  • ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

    iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
    Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
    9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
    I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
    with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
    policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
    When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
    work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
    an unknown domain.
    I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
    root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
    then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
    OK: Policy file accepted:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
    Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
    seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
    cause any problems, but see
    http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
    for an explanation.
    Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
    xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
    requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
    lack of policy file permissions.
    Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
    anyway.
    PS: I found the XML schema files here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
    and the socket policy schema:
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
    UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
    example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
    and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
    the IMAP server.

  • TS1424 I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

    My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
    When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
    Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
    Would appreciate any help, thanks

    - The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
    - Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
    Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPod Randomly Stops Playing Songs

    Hi, Some songs on my iPod Touch running version 3.1.2, (mostly songs that I downloaded a long time ago) stop playing abruptly about 30 seconds before the song is over. The iPod says that the song is playing, but no audio is coming out. It is very annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or had found a solution. Thank you for helping me.
    P.S. The songs play fine on my 4th generation iPod, (A.K.A. the "iPod Click Wheel") so I know the files are not corrupt.

    No, I don't. Even if I did, that would not explain why no audio comes out of the speakers / headphones.

  • Itunes randomly stop playing and restarts playing like a pause when playing music.

    My itunes the latest version 11.1.3 stop playing music randomly and start playing it again. It almost like its buffering itself.
    My hard drive is not full.
    Already tried to repair disk etc.

    Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Hi, have you found something work for you ?
    Happens to me as well but not started in mavericks all started with Mountain Lion , a few weeks before he left mavericks , I thought the problme would be solved by updating , but he did not, it's very frustrating strange thing is that in my case not only iTunes is , if any player, have proven Vox and another which I forget the name .
    I also feel the same when you play a song in quick look ( Finder) .
    I am desperate this problem is with me for the last month and a half went to a apple store and tell me that my machine has nothing that can not help me, and tried everything , reset my machine with a clean install , restart PRAM , repair permissions hise disk hardware test , and nothing has changed.
    When iTunes pause my machine freezes a moment and returns to normal when continuous playback , stops about 1s though sometimes hard to 5s .
    We appreciate if you find solution , because I am going crazy . Since neither in apple have been able to help me .
    My machine is a Macbook Pro late 2012. Mavericks , iTunes 11.1.3 did not correct my mistakes. Do not know what else to try .

  • My music randomly stops playing while using meetme app.

    whenever using my iphone 5s my music will stop playing happans with local music and spotify i contacted apple support and they wanted to bring it in to look at it. any ideas?

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem with my iPhone ever since I have upgraded to the 1.1.1 firmware. I have had the following problems.
    -Music stops playing when surfing the web.
    -After listening to music and exiting iPod mode. The play icon in the status bar still appears. To fix this I initiate iPod mode,play,then pause the song and exit ipod mode.
    -Bluetooth icon apears in status bar randomly. I just go into settings and turn the bluetooth off. I think this happens when I go in and out of air plane mode.
    -Screen freezes. I just wait and it usually unfreezes or I have to reset the device.
    I have 3-4 gigs of free space.
    and have tried reseting the phone to fix the problems.
    Thanks
    -James
