120gb ipod keeps resetting and skipping tracks

I just recently bought a brand new 120gb ipod adn all of the sudden it is skipping down tracks in the middle of a song and it also resets on its own...i will be searching through my artist list and it will all the sudden reset and go back to the apple logo then it is fine for a while until it does ti again...i have tried the five r's and am feeling angry that this keeps happening...if anyone has any suggestions or an answer for that matter it would be gratly appreciated..

I just bought a new macbook pro and got the 120gb ipod with it for $20 after the rebate. i downloaded all my songs onto the new computer and then synced them with the new ipod. the songs would play all the way through but the ipod started skipping in the middle of the song to go to the next song. so it would play though a whole bunch of songs, then halfway through one, it would skip to the next. at first i thought it was a corrupt song so i pressed the previous button to see if the song would play all the way though and the song wound up playing completely and then move onto the next song. it began to do it more frequently so i brought it to the apple store and they swapped it for a new one. i just synced the ipod again and its skipping again. I took my old 30gb ipod and synced it to the same exact itunes library so both ipods mirrored each other and the 120gb still skips but the 30gb doesnt. so i have no idea what is going on with the 120gb ipod but i want to find a solution to this problem before my warranty runs out. can anyone please help?

  • Why does my ipod keep freezing and skipping songs?

    I have the 80GB Ipod Classic, and for some reason it keeps skipping songs, for instance, whenever I go to look under a certain artist or a playlist of even just under "songs" I'll pick one and then it will skip one or two or ten, and there are some songs it just doesn't allow me to listen to anymore. Only on my ipod though, not on itunes. It also keeps freezing and will sometimes just stop in the middle of a song and skip to a new one. I've tried resetting it, and leaving it alone for a few days and letting it charge and leaving it off. Nothing seems to work.
    What can I do?

    I had this problem with my old 20GB classic ipod, it all started when I began using my ipod for my running trainings, every day it used to get worse freezing every 10 minutos or so, then I got ****** and bought a new 80GB classic Ipod, I have it for about 3 weeks now and guess what? It started freezing or skiping songs also. I did a test where I synced the same library on my both ipod and the songs being skipped on my new one wasnt being skipped on the old one, so its a problem with the song, then I though it could be any damage in the ipod HD but my new ipod has no reason to be damaged, the only impact that it might have recived is from my running trainings, but the impacts are really weak. Other test I did was trying to remove the song being skiped from the ipod, everytime I did that my ipod couldnt be ejcted, it kept showing me the following message "The ipod canot be ejcted because it contains files that are used by another aplication." I had to unplug my ipod without ejecting it.

  • IPod keeps freezing and skipping.

    I've restored it, i've reset it. nothing is helping. it freezes many times a day. so i keep reseting it and a few minutes later it freezes again. i've restored it multiple times but it keeps freezing anyway. I'm still under warranty until christmas but can i still get it replaced since it's a 30 gb? they have the iPod classic now so i don't know if i can get it replaced.

    Okay i guess not?

  • IPod keeps reseting and is not recognized by my computer

    I plug in my ipod and the copmuter tells me that the disk is not recognized and gives the options of initializing, ignoring, or reseting. And then when I unplug it, the iPod just turns on and off showing the apple logo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    This message appears when OS X thinks the iPod hard disk is corrupt. You can click "initialize" which will erase the iPod contents, then use the iPod updater to restore it in the normal manner.

  • 60gb ipod photo keeps freezing and skipping through songs

    I've had my 60gb ipod photo for almost a year and it keeps freezing and skipping through songs and sometimes it won't respond to a reset. I have to let the battery run down in order to use it again. I have restored it several times and it seems to keep happenning at least once a week.I have the latest software for it. Is there any thing else I can do?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync what you  want
    - 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:

  • My iPod keeps reseting!

    OK, real problem. My iPod keeps reseting when I connect it to a computer! All my files stored on it (I used it as a flash drive) are still there, but inaccesable, my computer says the disk doesn't exist. What is going on? And might this fix my video problem, too? (after the 15 minute mark, my movies always extend their time up to the 900s and skip frames at the speed of light. Entertaining for the Nostalgia Critic.)

    Your problem is too complicated for me to understand, so try the basic 5Rs.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Or bring it in to Apple Genius store.
    If you are using it as a "flash drive" which is another way of saying, you put it in DiskMode. You can't see the files in standalone mode, or if coonected to iTunes, it wont list your files. Only Window explorer can list your files.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod keeps resetting at language selection HELP!

    My ipod keeps resetting at the language selection and i can't do anythink except recharge it. How can i get it to work again.

    Welcome to the discussions Patrick,
    It may or may not have said it on there but there is one number for apple support. It is 1-800-APL-CARE. You dial this number during buisness hours and follow the steps given. Since you just bought this (a video ipod right?) you have one year or 90 days of phone and tech support. As for turning the ipod on and off it is the play/pause button and the center button. Center to turn it on and play/pause to turn it off. It is confusing at first yes, but you should get the hang of it. The applecare representatives will/should take care of you.

  • Ipod keeps reseting itself

    so after i had the trouble with my ipod last week and ended up replacing it at the apple store for a small fee of $32.05, this new ipod is giving me more problems.
    so this new ipod keeps reseting itself. for example, i connected it to my computer and the "do not disconnect" sign won't come off and it's not connecting to itunes. so i reset the ipod. it finally connected and then i ejected the ipod no problem. so then from now on, it resets itself, leading me to restore the ipod. so i restored it, and the problem still occured. and then i reset it again and now it's working fine.
    in conclusion, does anyone have some suggestions/comments/idea for this situation?

    that's EXACTLY what is happening to me. i plan to go back to the apple store very soon because i've run out of ideas as to what to do to solve this dilemma. i'm glad though i'm not the only one with this problem although i am sorry you have the problem too lol.

  • IPod keeps reseting itself while updating

    I've had previous trouble with my 60GB iPod Video, but I think this is the last problem... I am trying to update my iPod but while its updating the iPod keeps reseting itself over and over again... please help!!!

    There's nothing you can do but bring it back to the store. Mine does the same thing, it just goes to show that Apple is so busy pushing these new iPods on us and releasing them too soon that the customers end up having to deal with their hardware failures---all because they didn't take the time to test these!!!

  • I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location.  Select the location of your on external hard drive. 

  • I can't get the movie to play right, it keeps pausing and skipping

    I bought a movie on itunes a when i try to watch it keeps pausing and skipping. how do i fix this, so i can watch it

    Check in iTunes - got to the store home page with the small house icon.
    On the right side of teh screen under QuickLinks is there a Purchased section?
    If so check if this had Movies/Films when you click it, if so hopefully purchases will show up.  If you uncheck the box for HD downloads you may then be able to get the SD version.
    Also in iTunes Preferences for the Store you can select preferred HD resolution of 720p or 1080p for downloading.
    If you don't have a section for previous purchases contact iTunes support and tell them the issue.

  • Ipod keeps reseting when transfering media

    If anybody having problems when trying to transfering music from itunes into the ipod, the ipod will reset and it will not allow to the transfer to occur. Try everything , took it for service at a apple store , got it replace already, it came back the same.
    If anybody having this problem , please give me some advice. I have not been able to enjoy my ipod for half a year since i purchase it.

    OK...yeah, resetting is all you can do for this one...you did properly, right? 1. toggle hold button and 2. press center button and menu button simultaneously for 6 to 10 seconds
    if that doesn't work, you gotta go to the genius bar...

  • Inspector in compressor keeps resetting and giving me a untitled dvd

    inspector in compressor keeps resetting and giving me a untitled dvd. I have titled and changed the settings to what i need the menu to lool like. But when i hit submit and the dvd is finished burning it gives me a untitled dvd as if i did not do any cumstom settings. WHY

    Are you saying the title is incorrect in the menu?
    If I change the title in the Title field of the Job Action pane, it updates correctly for me in the main menu and chapter men titles both display properly when I open the DVD.
