The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are referring to photo stream, do you have photo stream enabled on your computer.

  • For some reason my back button and refresh button dosent work,,,also my passwords are not saved in my craiglist windows

    i just had some update today didnt really read it it was with mozilla so i just installed, now my pages were the wrong sizes and the toolbar with the backpage and refresh dosent work also my passwords are not being saved on my craiglist page

    Don't worry about the time, as it took us a while to get it done. I learned a few things along the way, about Button Layer Set order, and what happens, once the Menu has been Imported.
    Most of it will not apply to your original questions, at least not as I read them, but might prove useful in time.
    Good luck, and happy reading...

    how can i fix this. im not going to "restore" and loose all my songs.
    thanks for the help, dave

    See this.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    Why would you lose all your songs if you restored it?
    You have no back up of store bought songs?

    What do you see on your iPod Screen?
    How many songs are in your iPod?
    Is your Ipod fully charged?
    Which version of Itunes are you using?

  • Ipod classic wont play when docked

    i have a recently refurbed/replaced ipod classic thats was replaced by Apple when the battery went capput
    i have since bought a dock which is compatible with classics
    this dock will play my wifes ipod nano and her iphone 3GS
    but will not play my ipod classic 160
    it is on firmware 2.0.4 and itunes says is upto date
    I have tried resetting ipod
    I have turned dock on and off
    I have restored my ipod and reinstalled all my files
    i have contacted the dock manufacturer and state it is not their fault
    how do i get this to work ?
    I have since tried it on another dock on my DAB radio and wasnt recognised on that either

    Wow, ive been having the same problem for a month now. It the car the music started flickering or whatever, then all of a sudden audio completely stopped from the ipod. Doesnt work with any type of speakers through the headphone jack and it doesnt play when docked on a ihome. It will still hold music, it looks like it playing because the time continues and the blue bar moves, but no audio.

  • IPod classic wont play 3rd party dvd player with apple composite cable

    I want to play the videos in my iPod classic 120GB(MB526LL) on my Phillips DCP750 dvd player. I am using the Apple Composite cable which I brought in the spring of 2008 with the Apple Universal Dock (MB125G) and they will not play. When I tried to just use the cable with the Phillips I received the error message “ TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory “ so I brought the dock Using the dock I do not get the message. Instead the audio comes through the headphones on my iPod but no video on the dvd player nor on the iPod. I have the iPod settings to TV out, screen standard and PAL since I am in the UK. Is it possible that my cables are too old and do not have the chip that I have read about? Should I be using the component cable rather than the composite? I have tried to find the older firmware prior to 1.0.2 but can’t. Is it worth my while to make an appointment with my local Apple store and take cables, player, dock and iPod to the Genius bar? If anyone has had this problem and figured it out could they explain to me step by step what I should be doing. I hate the idea of having to spend more money on cables and will probably just continue to watch videos on the ipod or else on the Macbook if I can not figure out a work around.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this.
    Tell Apple:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    IDVD is included with iLife 11 ON DISK.
    For making movies there is no alternative or substitute for iDVD. (Buy it while you still can.)
    I've tried Burn and Toast and many others, iDVD is by far the best.

    For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.

  • My Ipod classic wont play video. Why? Can you help me, please

    Hi everyone , my Ipod classic 160 won¨t play video. Can you help me, please?

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • My ipod classic wont play movies

    my dad said i could have his old ipod 5th gen (classic) and i downloaded one of my videos on to it and when i play it it only plays the sound and shows a frame of the movie like music artwork the same happens with music videos

    If these are movies and music videos from the iTunes Store, I don't think they play on the 5th gen iPod (the first "video iPod").  The 5th gen iPod was released before the iTunes Store started selling video content.  Unlike songs from the iTunes Store, the commercial video content (Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos) have DRM (copy protection).  My understanding is that the 5th gen iPod does not have a "chip" needed to play the protected content.
    Also, the 5th gen iPod can generally play video content with resolution up to 320x240.  Later iPods (that play video) can go up to 640x480.  So, that may be why it plays the audio but not the video on the ones you tried.  It's the first iPod to play videos; it's more limited in what it can do.

  • Ever since I upgraded to FF6, some pics and videos do not load or play. It does not ask if it can install a plug-in either. Some plug-ins are not compatible with FF6, but I don't know which plug-ins I can use. Please help!

    I had this problem on previous versions of FF and thought the upgrade would help, but it didn't.

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • HT1339 ipod classic doesnt play

    My 80gb ipod Classic wont play.  The music syncs with my itunes and it all appears to be there, but when I click on a song to play it, nothing plays.  I hear a small (only can hear it of you put your ear to it) high pitched whirring and ping sound as if its trying to do something and keeps repeating the process. Any ideas how I can get past this?
    I've tried restoring it and I get a 1413 eror message.  I've tried installing the new versions of ITunes and we're all up to date.

    I assume you have tried everything in this article?
    iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts.  The genious bar could not figure out the problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

    My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts).  The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.  Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail.  I've heard this is a video codec problem. 

    See this extensive older thread on the issue.

  • I pod classic wont play in stereo

    Cds transferred to itunes then onto ipod classic wont play in stereo via headphones

    Do songs play in stereo in your iTunes? If not, are you importing the songs in mono? (Check Edit/Preferences/General/Import Settings - there are two settings boxes, Import Using and Setting. If the Setting is "custom" look in there and make sure Channels is set to "Auto" or "Stereo".)
    Have you tried the headphones in another player? What happens if you do?
    Is there a stereo/mono switch on your headphones?
    Are the songs in mono on the CD?
    Is the headphone plug pushed fully into the jack?
    When you say mono, do you mean sound from only one speaker or do you mean "exactly the same sound from each speaker" so that there is no left/right sound?

  • Even though I had synced numerous times, those tracks are not in my library. Only the purchased music.

    My new ipad2 doesn't show any of the music I had previously burned from all my CDs. Even thorough I had synced numerous times, those tracks are not in my library. Only the purchased music.

    The tracks are not in your iTunes library?
    Or they are in the library but will not sync to the iPad?
    Select the iPad in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab at top.
    Tick Sync music and make sure Sync all is selected or if Sync selected is selected, make sure you tick what you want to sync.
    FYI: Burn means to create a CD (because you burn with the laser). RIP means to get off an audioCD onto the computer.
