IPod Touch 4G, some songs don't play after Update to iOS 4.2

I have songs on my iPod that do not play when I select them from a playlist. The iPod just keeps skipping the song immediately and moves to the next in the list.
However, the very same song plays, when I select it directly from the "Artists" or "Album" view.
And: The same song plays fine under iOS4.1.
Any ideas?

I have the same problems.
I created smart playlists of unlistened music (play count = 0), and it reads the first song, the second, then the fourth, the sixth, etc. It reads the two or three first in order, and then skips one song, plays one, skips another, plays another, etc.
I do not have that problem with "regular" playlists.
I disabled the "shuffle when shaken" option. (translation from French)

  • My iPod touch 5th gen won't turn on after updating to iOS 8 using the computer,help!?

    On my computer (using windows) I tried to update my iPod touch 5th gen to iOS 8 using iTunes, using this website http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/09/17/the-secret-to-skipping-long-ios-8-downlo ads-and-problems/ as a guide.
    It kept coming up with this error http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201442 after the update.
    Now my iPod won't turn on and it shows the charger with the lightening with an arrow above it pointing to the iTunes logo.
    So i plugged it into iTunes but i don't know what i'm supposed to do, any help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After 3.0 Upgrade, some songs don't play

    I recent upgraded my iPod Touch. Everything still works fine for the most part, except for one small detail -- some random songs don't play. It shows them as playing, it loads, and the tracking bar moves like it normally should, but there's no sound at all. I tried restarting the iPod and resyncing it to no avail. I'm going to attempt a restore here. As of now I can't find any connection between the random songs that will or won't play.
    What can I try to do to fix this? If I must I'll try to go back to an older version, though I'd like that to be my last resort.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, they worked in iTunes, I double checked that. In fact I found out because I tried playing some songs in my car and thought, hey, they worked fine on iTunes earlier today.
    However, I ended up restoring it back to default settings through iTunes and letting it sync everything back up again, and it worked. 0.o Which is odd, since only a few songs didn't work, and I didn't change anything, but meh, this is technology. If it works, don't ask questions, just accept it.
    Thank you!

  • Some of my songs don't play after upgrading iOS 5

    I need help...
    I was pretty excited with the new iOS 5 but now, i'm starting to get really disappointed.
    First, some of my album art work doesn't show anymore..
    second, some of my songs don't play or jumps to another song..
    I don't know if it's with the iOS 5 or the iTunes 10.5..
    please help..

    I eventually managed to fix mine.
    All i did was untick the box saying "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 aac" (because i had it previoulsy ticked) and then synced it and it now plays every song without a problem.
    However, if you haven't selected the "convert higher bit rate...." then try it and sync as there is nothing to lose if your ipod isn't playing plus the songs don't sound any different and it takes up less space

  • IPod Touch skipping some songs

    Hi there,
    I bought an 8GB iPod Touch, synched all my music library of about 500 songs; and now I see that when I'm playing my songs random, a few songs play until some part (the middle of the song usually) and then stops playing abruptly and goes to the next song. If I delete the song in my iPod and re-sync it again then the song plays OK so I don't think this problem is related to the song itself.
    How can I fix this problem? Is this a firmware or iPod hardware problem?
    Thanks and regards,
    Mauricio

    I had a similar problem,
    Many PC users have solved this problem by adding a new PCI Card to their PC that adds a new set of USB ports. Then re-sync the entire iPod using the NEW usb port.
    There seems to be a transfer problem with some onboard USB ports. (the USB ports that came with your computer) - when you use an 'add-on' USB port, the problem goes away.
    Whether this is an Apple or a PC problem - I'll leave that up for speculation.
    here's an old thread:

  • My ipod touch is skipping songs from my play list since i got the upgrade to 5.0.1

    I just upgraded my daughters ipod touch to iOS 5.0.1 and it downloaded "newstand" and "reminder". Since the upgrade certain songs from my playlist wouldn't play, or would skip to the next song in the playlist.I have tried to restore to factory settings to no avail. aaarrrrggghhh!

    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
    - 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 since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • BMW iPod Touch interface: some songs start mid way but not all.

    Hi, I upgraded from an iPod Classic to an iPod touch 4th generration and since doing so some (not all) songs will start at various points in the song when connected to my BMW iPod interface cable, eg 3:20 into a song, then another one may start 10 secs into a song etc. Some songs start at the begininning. This never happened with the Classic.
    Any ideas please ?

    The classic most likely it was working using and over version of the itunes software, the new iPod you have is using a newer version  of the aple software, there are 2 solutions, downgrade the software on the new device
    or see if there is any update for the iPod interface in your vehicle, some can be remove out of the vehicle and
    plug into a computer using a usb cable

  • HELP. Ipod Touch 3rd gen won't switch on after updating to OS 4

    So here's the thing. I tried to download and install the new OS 4 (i think i had iOS 3.1 before) to my Ipod Touch 3rd gen. Since it was taking a bit too long, i left it hooked up to the laptop for an hour to do some errands. When I got back, the laptop was on standby mode. I checked Itunes and it had this prompt saying update failed or an error occurred (#1602 I think but I don't know what it meant that time). I then checked my Ipod Touch and it was switched off. So we figured maybe the battery got drained while we were gone and tried to plug it via AC charge for 10 minutes. Nothing happened. I tried to hook it up to the laptop, no luck there either. The charger worked fine for an Ipod video we also have. I'm scouring the webs for what to do, Im getting worried. hope someone can help me in this. Thank you.
    (and additional question. I'm here in the Philippines right now but this Ipod Touch was my sister's, I think she bought this last year in the US. She just sent it to me this month. So if I take this to the local Apple store, can they do something about my problem? Assuming I cant fix anything by tomorrow. Thanks again folks.)

    First I would charge it for an hour and then:
    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • My iPhone 4 stops after playing one song on any playlist after updating to IOS 5

    Hi all.
    I just upated my iphone to IOS 5 and my music playlists will only play one song, or a few songs and stop even when hundreds of songs are listed on that playlists.
    The top arrows allowing to enable "repeat playlist" or "repeat one song" work but the playlist just won't play or shuffle.
    I also realized that while the phone is on this freeze mode the "play icon" shows as it is playing but the timer won't move so the song is stopped.
    When it does play a song it shows the wrong picture of the album as well.
    Anyone having the same issue?

    I have the same issue. Some songs play, while others do not. The play indicator says it's playing, however the time indicator never moves. Can't tell what the difference is between the songs that play and those that don't until I get home tonight and can check iTunes. Tried a hard reboot of the iPhone (4) but that did nothing.
    This all began this AM following the iOS 5 upgrade.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen battery dies super fast after updating to 8.1

    I updated my iPod touch to 8.1 over the weekend. Now when I charge it, it dies extreamly fast. I let it sit on the charger overnight to get a full charge. In the morning I took it off the charger and drove to work while listening to music. After only 30 min of driving my iPod was down to 50% battery. I then left it locked (no programs running in the background, Airplane mode is always on) after work it was dead. Is this problem becuase of the iOS update or is it my battery is just bad?

    % battery is not accurate on an iPod. Large fluctuations in % battery is normal.
    The test is how long can you play a video after charging fro at least 6 hours. 4-5 hours seems to be the norm

  • Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62

    After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes.  I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle.  The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle.    Everything was fine until this latest update.  I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

  • I have an ipod touch 4th generation, 8gb. I tried to update to ios 6.0.1, but it reset my ipod to factory settings instead. How do I get everything back? Help please!

    Hi! Today I tried to update my ipod touch 4th generation to ios 6.0.1. But the final result was my ipod being reset to factory settings. I don't know what happened. Does it mean I lost everything on my ipod? How do I get everything back? I had backed up my ipod on my computer before updating. Will that help? I don't know what to do now. I'm not very good with anything electronic, so now I'm afraid to touch anything in case I make it worse...
