My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't play certain songs?

Okay, so here's what happened. I opened my iTunes (the latest one) and it's also on the latest iOS, and then plugged my iPod touch into the computer. Since an album didn't have album artwork and I wanted an album artwork to show up in my ipod, I added them. After that, I let it sync. After that, I tried to play it but it won't play. Since it is a bunch of songs from an album (Adele-19), when I try to press and play it, it would skip swiftly and it won't play. The album artwork is there already but it won't play, instead, it will skip songs. When I tried to play it in iTunes, it works perfectly.
Also, I've tried turning the device off, even tried resetting it. But no luck. I just got this device last Christmas, didn't fall or anything. Can someone help me? Should I delete the music and put it on iTunes again? Thanks in advance!

  • My Ipod 4th gen won't play certain songs/displays wrong name

    I got a referbished Ipod nano two months back and it worked just fine. Then all my music was erased from Itunes for whatever reason (not important.) Then I restored all my songs from my Ipod by transfering all the encoded files into the itunes folder. This worked just fine on Itunes (everything plays just fine) but when I synced my Ipod I noticed that a lot of the songs wouldn't play. when I click on a song it will go into the song interface quickly then go back to the menu screen. also when I would play all the songs by an artist it would skip massive chunks of songs and only play one or two. When it did play a song it would trip up and display the details for the next song and would require some effort to get it to display the right thing. Also when I would click on some songs it would take two tries to get it to play. I noticed that this only happens on songs that I transfered from my old mp3 player and not songs that I bought on Itunes. anyway any help is appreciated. Please respond.

  • My Ipod touch 4th gen won't appear in my Itunes, help me?

    My ipod touch 4th gen won't appear in my Itunes. I have the updated itunes and I can play music from Itunes. My ipod says it's charging but again won't appear in Itunes for me to sync music to it.

    Here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

    My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver.  It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair.  I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range.  Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver.  Any ideas?

    Thank you!  We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working.  Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

  • Ipod touch 4th gen won't sync or download podcasts

    Hi, all! I get that the ipod touch 4th gen won't update to ios7, but this has made podcasts unusable I'm unable to download new podcasts or sync them to my computer because I'm told the podcast app isn't updated. Is there anything I can do or do I basically have an unusable ipod where podcasts are concerned?

    Why happens when you install the last compatible version of the podcast app and sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My ipodmy ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs, only parts then goes on to next song

    My recently bought ipod shuffle 4th gen does not play whole songs synced to it, only the beginning then goes on to the next song.  What have I done wrong?

    I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

    I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

    - Do they play on the computer?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

    Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
    I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • IPod touch 4th gen won't restore or power on after dropping it on its back "waiting for ipod"

    My iPod touch 4th gen was recently dropped on its back after playing with its case. It turned white, then powered off.
    After that i tried restoring and now everytime itunes stays on the "waiting for ipod" step.
    I know that all functions work because I successfully entered dfu mode many times, and the lcd powers on but the progress bar doesn't move while itunes says waiting for ipod.
    Thanks for looking at my thread and sorry if i misposted (first time apple forum user)

    Something has been jarred inside. Anecdotally, people have reported success smacking their device again, to maybe rejarr things back into working order. But doing that is your call since it could be defined as abuse.
    If it's physically damaged inside, there may not be much of a user fix for you to try unfortunately.

  • Ipod Touch 4th gen won't sync after Ipod restore

    My Ipod wouldn't sync new music I put added to my playlists so I restored my Ipod to it's original settings because I felt it was needed. Now after my Ipod is done it's restoration I tried to resync. Still won't work and I'm baffled as to what could be the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    It's Ipod Touch 4th gen, 32gb.

    Hi LittleBear,
    Can you describe your problem further? Are you getting any error messages in iTunes? Just appearing to sync as normal?

  • My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't charge?

    Well I've had my iPod Touch 4th Gen since it came out it will be 2 years old in October. Yesterday I charged my iPod while listening to music. I took it of when it was charged and used a little it became half dead so I put it on my charger. I realized there was no indication of it charging? I placed on all of the chargers in my house and the same problem. I haven't tried connecting it to my Mac, but I did try turning on and off but still won't charge. Does anyone know if I can fix this?

    - Try connecting it to yur computer and se if it charger and it it appears in iTunes
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalites like bent or corroded contacts, crackd or missing plastic pieces or foreign material.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen won't go off the settings page

    Hi!
    My Ipod touch 4th gen will not go off the settings page. The home button is not doing anything and neither is the lock button.
    I went onto the settings page to delete some large apps as i was getting low on storage and now I cannot get off. The screen won't black out or lock.

    Try the remaining items of::

    - 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.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
