Weird problem with iPod

I recently bought an iPod (refurbished), and this problem showed up as soon as I first used it. I then reset the unit and the problem was gone. It is back, but I refuse to have to keep reseting my iPod. Does anyone know an answer to this?
Here is the problem: When I go to the top of my artist list (IE: A perfect circle) and choose a song to play, the iPod will just go through all of the songs in the folder as if they were unplayable. This happens up to a certain point of going down the alphabetical list. It also messes up random cd arts.
Does anyone know what is wrong here?

I have had this problem before, where it wont play certain songs (i have even had a song that reset my ipod whenever i played it). I think that the problem may be that the song is not the correct format for the ipod but somehow managed to copy itself on there anyway. So you could either:
a) try recopying the song onto your ipod.
b) right click the song and chose convert selection. I know that if right click does not do it there is a way to convert the song to the proper format, then recopy it to your ipod.
Hope this helps...

  • Weird problems with ipod classic 80gb, hdd's gone?

    Hi, hope u could help me.
    Excuse my not fluent english, I'm not british/american so I will try to make myself as clear as possible. Thanks
    First of all, got iPod classic 80gb, systems Vista/XP, was trying to cope with this problem on both computers, but ran out of ideas, so decided to make a topic on Apple forum.
    Few days ago my iPod was working fine, then I put some stuff on it (put them in 'Notes', using iPod as a pendrive) and weird things started to happen. Maybe it has something to do with it, don't know, but will try to write as many details as possible.
    When I connect my iPod to the computer (i tried on 3 computers), every time my Windows doesn't recognize an iPod (computer sees something has been connected, but doesn't see what). So if I go to 'Computer' I even do not see an iPod disc.
    I can't open iTunes when iPod is connected, but once I disconnect my iPod, iTunes opens immediately. If I open iTunes before connecting an iPod, iTunes works fine but it can't see an iPod as well. (I used an option with checking connection with iPod but it sees nothing unfortunetely).
    Later, when I want to disconnect my iPod using 'safe remove hardware' it doesn't work, just hangs.. so I have to unplug my iPod and once I do it, it immediately appears 'USB xxxxx now can be disconnect safely' (something like that, very similiar to the iTunes case).
    When I disconnect my iPod, it just hangs showing 'Connected, do not disconnect', sth like that, so I got to restart it and then works fine.
    My iPod works fine without connecting to the computer, everything is just fine.
    Any ideas? Already tried to reset settings on iPod and tried to re-install iTunes, but I guess problems lays somewhere beetween iPod and computer which doesn't see my iPod.. Also I tried to re-install USB slots/drivers, didn't help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers, Robert.

    When I had Windows XP on a Lenovo, I also had a U2 20Gb iPod...The problem was, believe it or not, the battery! I took it to ipodrepair in Toronto, and they said there was some servo or switch that was blown. It couldn't charge properly and when it was connected to the computer, it went into limbo - not able to charge, not able to load the ipod.
    So, check with repair if you can...It may be the battery, even on a new one!
    Good Luck!

  • Weird Problems with iPod 30 gig..

    My 30 gig iPod video is a little over a year old and today it did some weird stuff. I went to turn it on and it froze up so I reset it and it froze at the Logo screen. I kept resetting it and sometimes the logo screen would light up, turn on and then I could scroll through a menu and it would freeze up on a title and I would have to reset it. A couple times after resetting, the logo screen would come up all black except for a thick white/static strip through the middle. Does anyone know whats going on ?

    May need to try a restore since reset is not helping.

  • Weird problem with ipod...not sure how to fix

    My ipod was filled to the max...like 950 songs and i couldnt fit anymore. i had it on set up mannually, but one day when i plugged it in to my computer it acted as if it was a new ipod and switched to "update automatically." Then it updated by deleting all my songs i didnt have saved onto the library before i could stop it. now ive reimported all my cds, but it will only hold 500 songs and says its full. They are all the same songs so it cant really be full. I'm not sure how to fix this. Please let me know if you know how to fix it. Thanks

  • Weird problem with my 3G iPod

    Hi,
    I have a 3rd generation iPod and I'm having a weird weird problem with it.
    For some odd reason, whenever I try to play a song, my iPod resets completely. I can scroll and look at my songs, but once I start playing it, the iPod stops and resets, as if I did the "play/menu button press" procedure.
    I cant hear 1 song, even though I have a few hundred in the iPod.
    Also, whenever I connect it to the computer, the computer does not see it and The "Do not disconnect" icon appears on the iPod for like 3 seconds and then goes away.
    Does anyone know the problem and how I can fix it?

    Hello,
    Try restoring your iPod (through the iPod Updater). If you can't get it to restore, then try these steps:
    Eject your iPod from computer (for now).
    Close Updater and iTunes programs.
    Restart the computer.
    Put your iPod into disk mode.
    Connect your iPod to your computer again.
    See if the iPod Updater recognizes your iPod
    Or, if you are still having issues restoring, try doing the other Five R's:
    <a href="The Five R's</a>
    If you are on Windows, have you tried checking out this article?
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711">iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or in Windows
    If you're on a Mac:
    iPod missing in iTunes and on Mac desktop
    I hope this helps,

  • Weird Problem With My Ipod. Can you help?

    I'm having a weird problem with my ipod and I hope someone here can help. I have a Nano, 4 GB. I got it back in June, so I haven't even had it 6 months yet. Ever since I "updated" the software, it hasn't worked right. It kept freezing on me and saying I had no songs on it. Finally when I reset it through iTunes and loaded brand new songs in it, it froze half way loading. I loaded it for a 3rd time and now it's making a weird alarm sound for no apparant reason. The buttons are stuck and I can't shut it off. It just keeps making this sound and it won't stop. When I reset it by holding menu & select, it resets, is fine for about 20 seconds, then starts back with this alarm. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

    Mine was the similar condition.
    When I reset iPod nano by holding menu & select, it resets, is fine for about 20 seconds, then starts back to the screen of black and white state.
    It keeps endless loop.
    It happened on the way of iPod nano firmware update to 1.1.1. from 1.0.2.
    Instead of completing firmware updated, the above symptom happend in my case.
    I could exit the above condition by pressing both of SELECT &
    PLAY button 5-10 seconds long.
    It manually change DISK Mode.
    The following subject was useful for me.

  • Problems with Ipod Touch

    Problems with iPod Touch.
    Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
    I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
    Thanks in advance for your quick response

    You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
    "I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
    If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.

  • Apple Banned me, because of a very weird problem with my "Factory Unlocked"

    Hi Everybody! Im having a very weird problem with my unlocked iphone 4.
    First of all, i would like to apologize because of my english, is not very good. My native language is Spanish.
    Well.. Im from Mexico, and here we can buy the iphone Unlocked on the Apple Online Store.
    Here's my problem. Apple has exchanged my iphone 3 times.
    I returned the iphone the first time because the screen was totally yellowish, other than that everything was working great!, that was by the end of September.
    On October 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then a bigger problem started .
    Before i continue, let me give you this information: here in Mexico we have basically 3 cell phone companies
    1.- Telcel
    2.- Movistar
    3.- Unefon
    OK, now on october 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then procced to activate via itunes using my UNEFON sim card (microsim).
    And every time i tried to activate it, only got this message onscreen:
    http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/jorgelomeli/Screenshot2010-10-29at24915PM. png
    I though something was wrong with my brand new factory unlocked iphone 4.
    I have 4 more simcards from my brothers (they all had iphone 4 too)
    I tried telcel sim card, and i could activate my iphone. Then i insterted the Movistar microsim, and it worked too!! But then when i put the Unefon sim, the itunes logo inmediatly appears on the screen asking to activate on itunes, and when i tried that, the only response i got was the image above saying " The Simcard inserted on this iphone does not appear to be supported"
    Weird thing here is, that, when i put my Unefon sim card on my brothers iphone 4, it worked great! on all of them, internet 3g, phone, wireless , evrything!
    I called apple support, and they exchange the iphone for another one.
    I recieved the third iphone on October 29. Last friday. and guess what? SAME PROBLEM! different serial number, same week production (week 42) but exactly the same message on itunes.
    Very, very frustrated, i called apple again, and after 1 hour with thechnical support, they told me " We are sorry, but we can only offer you, your money back, NO MORE EXCHANGES FOR YOU"
    I said why?... i dont want my money back! i want an UNLOCKED iphone!, but they refuse to give me another iphone.
    When i asked techincal support, why my unefon sim card worked great on all three of my brothers iphone but not on mine, he just told me, "I really dont know, i guess they just got lucky" ****, this answer put all my trust i had on apple products for years, right on the garbage.
    Since they refused to give me another iphone, i accepted my money back, and inmediatly after i finished the call, i asked my brother to buy me one more time an iphone 4 using his name, and his credit card. Now i have to wait until November 8-12 to recieve my new iphone, hoping this time i get a REAL UNLOCKED iphone, and not a partially unlocked iphone.
    btw. i even went to Unefon costumer service and bought a new prepiad line, with a new microsim, just to be 100% sure that this problem is not because of the sim. And again didnt worked on my iphone, but it worked on any of my brothers iphone4.
    Serial numbers of the 3 iphones:
    79039C0U* (this one worked great with Unefon, only problem was yellow screen)
    85042GR4*
    81042FJB*
    What do you suggest me? any info would be really aprecciated
    FYI i also restore 4 times the last iphone and nothing seemed to work, i use 3 different computers, Macbook Pro, iMac, and an Hp with Windows 7, and the same message on all three computers.
    Wierd thing also, one of my brothers bougth an iphone 4 this last week too, but he bought the 16Gb not the 32Gb. His iphone production week is 42 also! and when i put my Unefon sim in his iphone works great!
    I dont know what else i can do, I just need to have faith that my new iphone coming this november will be real unlocked, but what if i'll recieve an iphone and then the same problem?? time for android? just kidding really guys, what can i do? anyone with similar problem like me? i dont wanna use Telcel or Movistar, i wanna use Unefon, and thats why i bought an Unlocked iphone
    btw: jailbreak is not a solution for me, because i always like to use legal software on all my apple products, and because of the warranty.

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937, there are two official carriers in Mexico (Movistar and Telcel) and neither carrier offers an unlocked phone.

  • Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

  • Weird problem with JApplet

    I'm having a weird problem with JApplet. So first I create an Applet with this code
    public class japp extends JApplet {
         public void init() {
              Container content=getContentPane();
              JButton jb=new JButton("Hello");
              content.add(jb);
    }and with this in the .html file;
    <html>
    <body>
    <APPLET CODE="japp.class" WIDTH="650" HEIGHT="500"></APPLET>
    </body>
    </html>
    And opened it in Firefox, it worked as expected. However, when I change the code in any way, i.e.
    public class japp extends JApplet {
         public void init() {
              Container content=getContentPane();
              JButton jb=new JButton("Goodbye");
              content.add(jb);
    }and compile it, it still shows the old button that displays "Hello". I've tried deleting the .class file from before and recompiling, that doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Reloading the page usually doesn't work. You will need to open the Java Console and clear classloader cache (x). You can also use appletviewer for testing purposes.

  • Weird problems with CSS being applied to JSF pages

    I have this really weird problem with my CSS rules being applied to my JSF pages. My CSS rules don't get applied unless one of the following two things happen:
    - A page is reloaded (by redirecting to itself, or if there were validation errors)
    - The previous page in the history had the same relative reference to the same CSS file.
    If a page is newly loaded, and the previous page did not have that same CSS reference, the CSS styles will not show up. Also, if the above is true, and the page is reloaded by JSF, the CSS styles show up.
    Now, my problem could be solved if I put all JSP files in the same level, but the display of the first page would still be without the CSS style applied.
    Is this known behaviour? And if it is, does it have anything to do do with the way JSF handles URLs (always one level back)? Help and input is kindly appreciated!

  • Weird problems with OSX Tiger

    I'm with a weird problem with my OS Tiger. I have a G4/400 AGP Graphics with a Fastmac 1.5GHz processor upgrade, 1 GB RAM, 128MB video card, USB 2.0 card and a Sonnet serial ATA card. I have two HDs: one of 80GB and another one with 250GB (serial ATA) connected to the serial ATA card.
    I have installed OS X Tiger in this serial ATA HD. Some weird things are happening since then. Sometimes when I shutdown my Mac, the delay is too long, all the icons disappear and the spinning wheel cursor remains in the screen for a long time until the Mac shuts down.
    Sometimes when I try to open some applications, the same thing happens, the delay is long. And it happens too when I try to quit some applications. The sintom doesn't follow a rule - sometimes happen and other times it don't happen. And when I hit optioncommandesc to force quit, the application appears in the list as 'not responding', and even when I force quit it doesn't quit at all.
    I already have checked the disk permissions, I have runned MacJanitor, but the problem is still there.
    Any idea?

    Hello! Long delays are often caused by corrupt disk directories. I'd first boot from the install Tiger disc and run the repair disk routine and then repair permissions AFTER rebooting from the hard drive. Other than that I'd get Diskwarrior to keep the directories in good shape. Tom

  • Weird problems with XFCE

    So I got a weird problem with XFCE (I think) sometimes everything just stops working, my PPTP vpn, can't start new applications, no shortcut commands on my keyboard works etc. For example when this happened and I tried to open a text document with gedit i got "Process /usr/bin/Thunar exited with status 1" and when I'm connected to my vpn I can't access the internet, not browsing and I can't ping other websites. And in my terminal instead of "icamaxi@localhost" it becomes "[email protected]
    This problem happens randomly and it works if you restart the computer.
    my xinitrc looks like:
    #!/bin/sh
    if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
    for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
    done
    unset f
    fi
    exec startxfce4
    I also get this error message sometimes if that helps you
    "(process:1055): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.
    No protocol specified"
    Xorg log
    Another thing that is not related to this problem but that is annoying is that i can't lock my screen, when I try nothing happens, I've tried the shortcut command and also with the actions button applet but none of this work.

    I'm not certain about your first issue, but does it ever occur when you aren't connected ot your VPN?
    For the screen locking problem, what are you using to lock your screen? I use xflock4, and have a keyboard command set up in the keyboard commands to lock my screen.
