Why does my 60GB Ipod keep pausing?

Yes, I have the hold button on. I'm not moving the Ipod. It can just be sitting there, and then it pauses in the middle of the song, and I have to unpause it. This happens all the time. Furthermore, the Ipod keeps freezing when I turn it off, so that I have to reboot it almost every time I turn it on. I had an early-generation Ipod that never had a problem (except that it was stolen). What's going on?

My 30Gb does the same. Very annoying. I have different earphones from the standard "mug me" / "I'm a posey t**t" white buds and the slightest wiggle causes it to pause. This usually happens when I've just turned it on, it tends to settle down after a short while.

Why does movies and videos keep pausing and playing in mozilla 4

it does this in window 7 mozilla firefox 4 but doesn't do it in internet exployer 9 quite as bad.

From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

Why does playlist on iPod keep repeating and repeating even though play count rule is 1

Hello, everyone!
I have a smart playlist of about 100 songs. The play count rule is set to play songs with a play count of less than 1. A few days ago, I reset all of the songs play count to 0. If you ask me, the way I have it set up, when the iPod is playing with my headphones on, the iPod should automatically update each songs play count to 1 after each song plays. After I have listened to all 100 songs, the playlist on the iPod should be empty. The reason is is because since each song was updated from their play count of 0 to 1 after each one played the play count rule in the playlist should show no songs in the playlist. Like I said before, the rule says to play any songs with a play count of less than 1. Since all of the play count of the 100 songs are now 1 and not less than 1, the playlist should be empty.
The problem is, when I'm listening to my iPod and the 100 songs have played, the playlist is not empty. It just keeps repeating songs and it will never stop. When I go to iTunes, the songs are randomly with play counts of 3 or 2 or 1 or however many times they have been repeated.
Does anyone know why this is?

The reason the songs don't delete themselves after playing from the playlist on the iPod is because your iPod is not smart enough to do that. It's only when you re-sync your iPod to your iTunes library does the smart playlist in your iTunes library delete the played songs. Then the playlist on your iPod will adjust to the number left unplayed in that playlist.
So as long as you don't sync back to your library the number of songs in that playlist will never reduce to zero.

Why does my NEW ipod keep shutting off in less than 30 seconds of play time

Rcv'd ipod at Christmas; was setup in spanish when I first turned on & thought that was weird; had issues trying to download version 10 of itunes but after two days it finally went through successfully; charged for two days; used for first time today and it keeps shutting off after 30-90 seconds of playtime; is this a common issue or do I need to send back?

No, push the headphones firmly all the way in. The headphone jack on new nanos is very tight, make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the nano.

Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

I have a 1st gen Airport Express and use it to stream music from my PC, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. My Airport Express is connected to a Teac UD-H01 DAC via an optical cable which is connected to an amp and speakers. I had no problems at all with this set up until I upgraded the Airport Express firmware to 7.6.3. The sound then started to drop out frequently. To cut a long story short after various testing, the problem had to be the Airport Express. I called Apple support but they were not much help and couldn't fix the problem and said they would speak to engineering and phone back. While I was waiting I decided to have another go to find the problem and opened the airport utility and saw that there was an option to downgrade the firmware. At this point I realised that the problems started about the same time that I upgraded the firmware to 7.6.3 but didn't think at the time that Apple would release a firmware that didn't work. Anyway I downgraded to 7.6.1 and hey presto, everything worked again. A couple of days ago I noticed that firmware 7.6.4 was available and thought I'd give it a go, not good - same problem as 7.6.3. I've downgraded to 7.6.1 again and all is well. Hope this helps.

My ipod keeps pausing by its self

my ipod keeps pausing by its self and i cant get it to stop. It usually does it when i am walking with it or if i change the volume but it will just play normally if i leave it alone. I dont know what to do to fix it and it is starting to get annoying because when i change to a diffrent song it will keep pausing by its self.

It might be, for some reason, that your iPod is just really, really sensitive to movement. I noticed that in an earlier post you mentioned that if you just leave the iPod alone, it plays fine, but when you're moving with it, it pauses.
I do have one question for you, though. When you say your iPod "pauses" does the symbol on the screen physically change from the triangle (play) to the double lines (pause) or does the music just sort of hang?
Try this:
Create a playlist (either an on-the-go playlist on the iPod, or a playlist in iTunes and then update it to the iPod).
Set the iPod down on a table, select the newly created playlist, and press play. Let the first song of the playlist play for about 30-45 seconds, and then try to pick up the iPod and walk with it. See if it still skips as much.
Also - What kind of iPod is it? Is it every song that does this, or is it a handful of specific songs that cause the problem?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on FaceTime and tries to constantly reconnect?

Does it happen anywhere that you use FaceTime or only in your home WiFi network? If it happens with your home network, have you tried power cycling your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
Turn WiFi off and on in the settings. Reset the network settings.
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?
