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.

  • Why does my Ipod keep freezing up during playback,

    Why does my Ipod 3 keep freezing up? I have reset it as discribed in the online help 4 different times and it still freezes.
    I at first thought it was due to the song was an MP3 but it has since froze on ACC and CDA audio. This would tell me it isn't the format that is causing it to freeze.

    By a reset do you mean an actual hard reset of the device or a restore of it in iTunes?  If it was the former, try a restore of the device in iTunes.  If it was the latter, your iPod likely needs servicing.

  • Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?

    Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,
    -Dylan

    Your issue sounds like the hard drive is failing or it was bumped or moved while it was operating and corrupted the data on the drive.

  • Why does my ipod keep freezing up when i try to turn it back on?

    every time my ipod dies and i try to turn it back on it freezes up.. why? also every time i try to use an app it goes in and in like 5 seconds the app closes.. i've restored it but that only helps for a few days and then goes back to doing the same.. what can i do to make that stop or should i get a new itouch? it also freezed up when i try to reset it..

    If it is still acting up after a restore, you more than likely nave a hardware issue.

  • Why does my Ipod keep freezing during Facetime

    While using Facetime the screen freezes, its very annoying, any ideas why this can happen?  We have tried turning off all the apps that we are no longer using and turning Ipod off regularly.
    Any other ideas? 

    Not sure exactly what's going on here, but it might be worth taking a look at this Apple support document describing some of the ports that need to be opened on your router/modem in order for FaceTime to work properly.
    Using FaceTime behind a firewall
    There are plenty of other possible reasons you are running into issues, such as hardware or software issues on your iPod Touch device or perhaps with the other user's device on the other end.

  • Why does my itunes keep freezing and give me the rainbow wheel of death?

    Whenever I am doing stuff on my computer it will randomly freeze up and I am almost positive it only happens when iTunes is open and playing. I have a lot of free space on my hardrive even though I have around 6000 songs and a bunch of movies on there. I just downloaded a bunch of games form the app store too that could be taking up space. Please let me know if you can help!

    what model year make computer do you have what os are you on how much ram do you have?
    go to launchpad (yeah I said it) utilities> system information.
    on the left hand side, hardware should be highlight and you will have all the information you need to give us.
    Feel free to exclude your serial number. you can do so in preview. But it doesn't really matter, and it would be nice to have a reference of it somewhere should it ever get stolen. it your choice. 

  • Why does my ipod keep disconnecting and connecting every half a second?

    I had my iPod touch (4th gen, ios6) synced to a desktop and when I tried connecting it to my new laptop to sync it keeps connecting then disconnecting every half a second (flashing on and off) and will not connect at all. Do I need to do something with my old computer? I don't think it's something wrong with the cord because it connects to the wall just fine.

    Different conductors/contacts are used for charging and dats. Thus, it still could be a bad cable.

  • TS3694 Why does my ipod keeps powering off, and when I turned if on, I have to press down the power button and the screen button at the same time ???

    Why does my ipod keeps powering off, when I have to turn it on ... I have to press on the power button and the screen button at the same time ??? over and over again. I just got this in December 2011 as a gift.

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.

  • What happened to the youtube app and why does my ipod keep crashing?

    I updated my ipod touch 4g to iOS 6.0 and what happened to the youtube app? And why does my ipod keep on crashing when ever I go to the app store? Now i can never buy anything!!! or watch youtube videos and I'm always on youtube!!!!!!!!

    As has been very well publicized in the news and all over the internet and forums, youtube is not part of ios 6.  Google it.
    You can get the app from the app store if you like.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
