Why does iPod play without prompting on iPhone?

This happened to my previous iPhone (3G) and now to my new one (version 4.2.1 14GB). Also happens to my friend's older iPhone (3G).
Here is what happens: iPhone is sitting on center console - not connected to bluetooth (n/a in my truck). I faintly hear music playing, look down and the phone is playing music via iPod. This happens inconsistently, but has happened a number of times. I was shocked to see new iPhone do this too! All iPod settings are set to "off".
Anyone know why this happens?

My sister's does the same thing and none of the usual steps stops it. It does not do it enough to bother her, so she just quits the iPod app or if she hears it presses play, she did not think it serious enough to replace her phone.
We did send feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If yours is in warranty, and this is causing battery problems for you, I would make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store.

SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion. Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random

When I push play, why does it play back all tracks instead of whats in the arrangement view?

Why does it play the track even when there aren't any files in the arrangement view?

It sounds as though "something" has become corrupted. This can be the result of an add-on, or it might be that reinstalling Firefox will help. Here are some diagnostic suggestions:
First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it? If not, try creating a new (blank) profile: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
If the new profile works, then you either can work to track down the problem with your old profile, or move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Hope this helps.

HT3915 Why does the mobile me prompt keep popping up when I moved to icloud long ago?

Why does the Mobile Me prompt telling me I have entered an invalid password keep popping up when I moved to icloud long age?

go to Tools, add-ons, then only disable java 6.0.22 ONLY, then you have to click on restart. That solved my problem.

1. The SCB-68 is just a terminal block; it does not measure anything. The measurement is made on the board connected to the SCB-68.
2. Computer-based data acquisistion devices and 480 V motors with solid state speed controls do not "play nice," as the kids say. The connections you are trying to make may well end up with a fried data acquisition board, fried computer, and MOST IMPORTANTLY a fried USER!
Ground loop problems may produce noisy measurements or may destroy all the low current devices (like the computer) in the system.
Signal conditioners are not only to reduce noise but also to provide safe isolation between the high voltage and high power parts of the system and the more sensitive parts.
A thermocouple is a voltage generating device. The measurement system measures that voltage (typically millivolts) and independently measures the temperature of the "cold junction" of the thermocouple. The temperature at the hot junction of the thermocouple is calculated as Temperature(TC voltage difference) - Temperature(cold junction). If currents flow through the TC wires, due to ground potential differences between the motor frame and the computer ground for example, the voltage drop from Ohm's law is added to the TC voltage and will produce temperature errors. TC wire may have significantly higher resistance than wires used for most elelctrical signals so the interfering signal may be greater than the desired signal.

Why does siri not work on my iPhone 4s?

Just purchased iphone 4S and Siri is not working. I have the most up to date software - 5.0.1 When I hold down the home button I get the voice control feature that's on previous versions. Any ideas?

It kind of sounds like Siri might not be activated. Go to Settings - General - Siri and confirm it's turned on. If it is, you might also make sure "raise to speak" is turned on, then go to your home screen and raise your phone to your ear. Does the Siri audible prompt sound?
If nothing else works, I'd do a current sync, then go to Settings - General - Reset and do a full reset. If that doesn't work, try a Restore. Here's a link for how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzyy4puapig You won't lose any data or apps, but you will have to reinput some odds and ends like your WiFi password. Good luck.

What is the highest mp3 bit rate that Ipod plays without disk problems

I have a 60gig iPod. i note that iTunes can encode to mp3 at a bit rate of 192. Can the 60gig iPod play these files without any disk problems. If it can are there any other considerations?

the current ipod (5th gen) specification says...
Audio formats supported: AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
btw the ipod disk isn't the limiting factor, sound files are played from buffer memory, the disk only runs when the buffer needs to be refilled

It does not, or should not.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Certain H.264/MP4 videos play without video on iPhone

I have a number of H.264 videos in MP4 containers that only show a black screen when played on the iPhone, while the audio is played back as expected.
Is there any way to get the video to play without having to re-encode all the videos? Below is some info about one of the files as reported by MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.massanti.com/).

Why does ipad's photostream overwrite older iphone photostream pictures

Hello together,
When syncing photostream pictures between ipad and iphone, older iphone pictures get overwritten by those of my ipad. I think they have duplicate filenames... Any solution?
Thanks a lot...

Thanks!
So I think it will make sense to backup the whole Photo Stream from time to time. I was just wondering why pictures were deleted without any reason...
I think about upgrading my Dropbox to a 100GB Account, so that I don't have to think about backing up pictures or videos.

Why does iPod say needs to cool down?

Why does my iPod say needs to cool down?

Unless you are in a very hot place it usually means a hardware problem
Try the following to rule out a software problem.:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Videos on 5G 30GB iPod play without sound

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've been able to upload .mpg (actually they're .m4v, once converted) videos to my iPod, but they all play without sound, even when I turn the volume (and can see the bar moving) up and down.
Actually, I just realized that they don't even play in iTunes 7.01 with sound.
Man, what a complete mess this whole experience has become!!!

Yes, there is a reason, QT won't convert MPEG 1 or 2 and preserve the audio. QT is the converter engine in iTunes. But iTunes will play a lot of video that iPod won't handle. Quicktime can do that, while iPod is capable of only limited file sizes and bitrates. So it is very possible there will be a bunch of iTunes videos you can watch there and not iPod.
Solution:
1. MPEG Streamclip, open MPEG and export to MPEG-4, press the iPod button (free)
2. iSquint - drag and drop, set to h264 and high quality, press button, also free.
I find iSquint messes up on some MPEGs so I do this - first I do a batch in Streamclip to convert from MPEG to MPEG-4 (not H264 as I want speed and not the quality which I get anyway with high bitrates and no size reduction) but the same size and a high bitrate , that won't play on iPod. Then I throw all those files into iSquint and it "iPod's" them overnight. Makes very good videos in sync and iPod compliant.
Streamclip now has the big (640X480) iPod setting under the convert to MPEG-4 menu so I am going to try that and see if I can skip use of iSquint totally.
In the past at times Streamclip made them a little too high a bitrate. Even on its iPOd setting hence the two step batch process. But batch processing means it works while you sleep so it is a minor irritant.
Note the inability of QT to convert muxed MPEG audio has been a "feature" of QT for a long time so this is nothing new.
