Why is my iPhone 5 pausing my music randomly when i move my iPhone in hand?

I have had my iPhone 5 since right before Christmas of 2013. No problems at all, until now. There recently was a new update for iOS 7.1.1 and I did update it. I had pre-order a song a few days before I updated it and when it was avaliable i downloaded it onto the newest update. When I tried to listen to the song with my head phones it paused randomly. Not only did it pause, it fast forwarded but itself and shuffled the order of my songs as well. Also Siri popped out without me pressing my home button. I have turned Siri off and it still paused and fast forwarded, but no Siri. (obviously) I even turned off the shake to shuffle in music in the setting app. It still paused, shuffled, and fast forwarded. It even did this with my iTunes radio. How do I get this to stop and  just play my songs?

I feel dumb....I changed out my headphones and my phone isn't acting possessed anymore.  My headphone were pretty sad so I think there was a short.  Since it also had a microphone it was picking up sound thinking I was talking.  It also had a volume control and ability to skip songs and I think that is why it was fast forwarding.

  • Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.

    Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.I restore it and then it works for a while, but then a couple weeks later I'll plug it in and I get the same message again. It's very frustrating because even though I have all the settings to save to cloud, my apps and data don't all come back.

    Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

  • After upgrading to iOS 5 my music crash when i turn the iphone vertical to horizontal !!

    after upgrading to iOS 5 my music crash when i turn the iphone vertical to horizontal !!

    I am having this same issue.

  • I want to be able to sync my iPhone 5 to my new iTunes library (new computer) and erase old music. When I connect my iPhone I have no option to "erase and sync."

    So I have the iPhone 5. My old computer crashed so I ended up purchasing a new computer and re-installing and downloading all my old music and new music.
    When I connect my iPhone to my new computer I can sync music but the old music still remains on my iPhone as well as the new music.
    There's a lot on the phone that I don't want anymore but I can't seem to figure out how to erase it.
    I don't want to restore the iPhone so I don't lose all my old messages and so forth.
    I have all of the latest updates for the iPhone and well as iTunes.
    If anyone has any answers to help that would be awesome!
    Thanks.

    Hey there,
    It sounds like you are not getting the prompt to erase and sync your device. This indicates to me that Manual Syncing was enabled on the original iTunes Library, and becuase of that it is also now enabled on your new computer.
    This is changable in the Summary tab of iTunes when you have your device selected, and this article will help you do that:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
    To manually manage the content, follow these instructions:
    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
    Click Apply.

  • I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to appletv.

    I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to apple tv.

    That's because the BBC iPlayer app uses basic AirPlay to show the content, this means the original content is sent to the Apple TV for it to decode rather than mirroring the screen of the iPad where the subtitles are added.

  • Music randomly disappears during sync with iPhone

    When I sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, music randomly disappears from my iTunes library. The first time, 100 items "could not be found," then the last time 10 items "could not be found." Songs are still listed in the library, but they will not play and they have an exclamation point next to them. I have everything backed up on an external drive, but it's a pain to have to keep dragging songs back over. This problem began after my most recent OS X update. The items are very random and incude songs purchased from iTunes, songs from CDs I own and "digital book" downloads included with albums I purchased through iTunes. I would very much appreciate any help. I'm afraid to sync music anymore!

    Unfortunately, this does not fix my issue. The battery indicator still disappears sometimes (not always) when syncing and I always have the sidebar showing. BTW, this only happens with my 5S not with my wife's 5 or my iPad 3. It used to happen with the 5 that used to be mine until I got the 5S and gave the 5 to my wife. Because of this I think it has something to do with some app I have loaded (but since I have many apps it would be very hard to track down).

  • IPhone starts playing music automatically when connecting to bluetooth

    I'm having an issue where my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) starts playing music/podcasts as soon as it connects to the bluetooth audio in my car, even when neither the music app nor the podcasts app is open at all. This is extremely annoying because every time I get in my car it starts regardless if I want to listen to anything or not, and I'm forced to take my phone out and shut it off every time. At first, I thought it was a glitch with the podcasts app, so I deleted it, but it's still doing it through the music app. The weird thing is, while it's playing, if I open the music app, the "Now Playing" button doesn't appear. But if I double click the home button in the lock screen, or go to the music controls by double clicking on the home screen, it does show what's playing. I have no idea how to make this stop short of shutting off bluetooth, but I don't want to do this in case I want to use the phone itself while driving. Please Apple, fix this soon!

    I am having a similar issue with my new IPhone 4 and my cars Bluetooth audio
    The music on my iphone just randomly starts playing whenever I enter my vehicle. This happens eventhough I have paused the music
    On one occasion the music was playing at the same time as I was on a phone call.

  • IPhone 3g shuts down randomly when not in use.

    I'm running iOS 4.0 on my iPhone 3G, which I bought used. It shuts down by itself randomly when not in use a few times a day. It never shuts down when in use or when plugged in. I've seen other posts on something similar but no solution. Please help

    I have a similar problem, it shuts down, when it's locked, it shut's down, when im using a aplication, it shut's down when im not using it, it's shuts down when it's even plugged in, some say it can be the battery but i dont think so.

  • Why does the Apple logo appears and disappears when I'm the iphone 4?

    Hi sarasalves,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If the Apple logo is flashing on your iPhone 4, you may need to put the iPhone in recovery mode so that you can restore it.  The article below explains how:

  • Iphone 6 plus screen frozen when downloading movies from itunes

    My iphone 6 plus screen froze up when I tried to rent/download 2 movies on iTunes. I did  not have enought free space to accommodate I guess, so instead I tried downloading it on my iPad since I had more storage space...but when I tried to rent it on my iPad instead, iTunes says I already rented it... Will I be paying for the two movies I rented since I dont have enough space to watch it? And how do I unfreeze my screen?

    Hello there, Zara2aj.
    When renting movies on your iOS device, the following Knowledge Base article explains where to locate it and the availability of that rental on other devices:
    FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Where can I find movies that I rented?
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it. Follow these steps:
    Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Apple TV:
    2nd or 3rd generation: Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    1st generation: Go to Movies > Rented Movies.
    Where can I watch movies that I rented?
    Mac or PC
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later)
    iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
    TV using Apple TV
    Watch your movie on the device you used to rent it. If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Why can't I sync my music without erasing my entire current iphone library???? Newly purchased MP3s don't transfer from my (authorized) laptop itunes.

    My desktop no longer works where previous MP3s and CDs were downloaded. I currently use my laptop now and cannot get recently purchased MP3s to sync on my iphone 4 without erasing my current iphone library and replacing it with what is on my laptop. I've searched and experimented with every possibility (it seems) without taking the "big step" of syncing my entire library. My current iphone library has 990+ songs and my laptop itunes library only has 381. I don't want to lose what I've got already. Anybody????

    There are third-party programs like those discussed here that can transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.
