2 songs wont play on Nano 3rd Gen

I have a 3rd gen Nano, and I have 2 songs that play in my iTunes Library, but when I sync them to the Nano, they dont play...anyone know how to fix this?  I have reset the Nano, removed the 2 songs from the playlist and readded them, and still not playing

What format are these tracks in?  Were they downloaded from the iTunes store or imported from outside of iTunes?
Have you worked through all the suggestions in this Apple support document?

  • Songs not playing properly on 3rd gen iPod (click wheel)

    I have a large amount of songs on my iTunes and iPod, and I often buy new music (from sources other than iTunes) to add to me collection. After updating my iPod last night to add a new album that I purchased, I noticed today that certain songs on my iPod would not play properly. When they come up in the cue or are selected to play manually, they appear on the screen, stay at "0:00 elapsed" for a second or two, then the iPod simply switches to the next cued song, as if this song has come to an end. If it's the only song in the cue, the iPod reverts to the general Menu screen.
    I checked my iTunes to see that the songs were still in my library and that I did not move or delete the source. None of the affected songs had the "This song cannot be found" exclamation point next to them, and they all played fine on my computer through iTunes, but they simply wouldn't work on the iPod. I updated my iPod tonight in hopes that the mistake would correct itself, but nothing's happened.
    Since this is a rare problem, I haven't been able to find any FAQs or solutions regarding it. I hope someone has the answer.
    Thanks for your time.

    I have the exact same thing happening. I just bought the new Foo Fighters album, the songs play on iTunes, but will not play on my iPod. I have updated my iTunes and iPod to try to get it to play with no success. With the iPod in the sourcelist, I can play the songs from the iPod music list, but not once the iPod is undocked from my PC the song titles come up for a brief second then skip to the next song on the album without ever playing any audio. I even tried to delete the album and reload it. Never had this happen with any other songs, artists, etc.

  • IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • IPod Nano 3rd Gen won't play AIFF files from Logic Pro 9

    Hi, so I've bounced a few tracks I was working on in Logic pro 9 as AIFF files, imported them into iTunes and then synced them down to both an iPod Touch 2nd gen and this iPod Nano 3rd Gen. The tracks play fine on the iPod Touch, but on the Nano, when I try to play a track, it shoes the "player" screen for a second, but it always bounces back to the track listing.
    According to the iPod Nano 3rd gen spec sheet, it does support AIFF files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP14
    Any idea as to why this is happening?
    Also, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2 and I reset the iPod nano just before starting this whole project.
    I'd like to keep the tracks in AIFF if possible...

    Greetings WonderfulT1,
    If you are having an issue with being unable to start your iPod nano when it is not connected to the computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps on this page -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My iPod nano 3rd gen went mad then all the songs were gone can I get them back

    My iPod nano 3rd gen wiped all my music can I recover it

    If it's no longer in iTunes or stored in a backup anywhere, I"m afraid you are out of luck. 
    For music purchased in iTunes, you can redownload it again no cost via iCloud if you live in a country where this service has gone live.  See this article for more details.

    As for music imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to rerip those into iTunes if at all possible.

  • My ipod nano 3rd gen gets error code -9459 when I try to convert a video in Itunes

    I'm tring to convert video from Youtube to play on my ipod nano 3rd gen.  When i go to itunes and Advanced and set it to convert for ipod it goes on for quite a while then about 3/4 way done I get error message Erroe occurred converting file "teapot 1". An unknown error (-9459)
    What do I do?  I tried Real player converter too - no luck.

    I'm not sure about the error message, but it might just be easier to use an application such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip to create an iPod compatible version of the video.

  • IPOD NANO 3rd Gen problem Apple Mac set up PC BASED MAIN UNIT

    I have been asked by a friend to help out because they asked to add music to their new IPOD. But the owner is a tech scared person. They gave the unit an IPOD NANO 3rd Gen to my friend who uses Apple MAC they set up the IPOD with their Itunes and added the songs.
    Later they wanted new tracks but have now downloaded ITUNES to their own PC Windows Vista system. The tracks were added to a USB memory stick and transfered and added to the PC Vista ITUNES. But now the IPOD Nano will not register on the Windows Vista ITUNES system but will show up on the "My computer"
    I have reset the nano by holding the on/off and menu etc to get the Apple logo, the unit beeps as does the laptop PC Based ITUNES etc but will still not register on the ITUNES or allow me to sync the music from the ITUNES to the IPOD.
    Can anyone advise how I can reformat the IPOD or reset the IPOD and remove all music currently on it to start again but get it to register/set up and show on the ITUNES on the windows VISTA unit rather than the mac based system.
    Thanks,

    Hey, I bought an iPod nano 3rd gen yesterday and I have exactly the same prolem you are describing in your message. Have you found any solution to this?

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen (click wheel)

    I currently have a ipod nano 3rd gen with a click wheel. I have uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and rebooted my computer already (I have windows XP). It shows up in "My Computer" as unknown but itunes will not reconize the ipod is connected, but does with my other ipod. I've tried changing the drive letter on this 3rd gen; but it wont appear to even change the drive letter. I believe I need to download the drivers (its what i had to do with my previous ipod) but I would like a clue where to download the drivers from, or someone to shed any light and a solution for this issue. My ulitmate goal is to get itunes to reconize it so that I can restore the ipod
    Thanks.

    Clickwheel games are no longer available in the iTunes store.  Sorry.

  • IPod Nano 3rd Gen Issues: would be grateful for any help

    Dear all,
    I recently purchased an iPod Nano 3rd Gen for my wife. I have been using a mac for 7 years, still have my first iPod 5GB scroll wheel as well as a 60 GB iPod video 5.5 Gen.
    Here's what's happening.
    iPod Nano connected via dock (which is in a USB hub...could that cause problems?)
    Connect, sync, no worries.
    Update iPod Nano software to 1.0.2.
    iPod then, halfway through syncing, flashes the Apple Logo every 6-7 secs and then does the same again.
    It is not recognised in iTunes like that.
    Any help?
    A hopeful Dan

    Hi,
    Same thing just happened to me - I have put the Nano 3G into disk mode (hold Menu and Select for 10 seconds then immediately hold Play/Pause and Select).
    Just doing a factory restore now, that should bring it back to a brand new state and will try again from there.

  • Nano 3rd Gen Graphical Bug

    When going from song lyrics to coverflow, a bug often occurs where the whole screen either goes green, or the coverflow is shifted up or to the right.
    http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=475025
    Pictures and details on there.
    To fix it, I simply just go out of coverflow. I am upgraded to 1.03 and it only does to going from Lyrics to Coverflow, when youve gone past lyrics at least twice.

    I normally go from the top of the list first:-
    1. Battery
    2. Flash drive
    3. Logic board

  • Nano 3rd gen

    I just got a Nano 3rd gen from someone and it's not doing as I wish. When I connect it to a computer, sometimes it will be recognised and sometimes it won't. When it's not recognised, the Apple logo will just flash on and off for hours. I kept it plugged into a charger over night and apparently it was fully charged, but when I disconnected it, it just turned back off. Once it is running on battery, it won't turn on at all. I can't even get it into disk mode. The person told me that it had really good battery life, so I don't know why it's doing this.

    Exact same thing happened to me.
    In fact, even worse, my 3rd Gen Nano lost the ability to play music about 3/4's of the way through my run.
    So, needless to say, I'm not too happy with the way this whole thing is working out.
    So, my Ipod still won't play music (though it still clicks in the headphones and talks to me during runs), and it has lost all my individual runs (though my total is still there, and correct).
    If anyone (from Apple, maybe) has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear some.

  • Recording onto iPod nano 3rd Gen?

    I was recently flipping through folders on my iPod, and I came across a folder that said "recordings". Does this mean my iPod nano 3rd Gen is capable of recording directly?
    Any help appreciated =]

    Thank you for the reply, however, I'm using APPLE; 10.5..... op system.  I have been using this ipod with this APPLE comp for  a few years--- I read somewhere that the mobile device could be auto turned off somehow.  If I DO follow the directions for the uninstall..do I lose all my songs, etc when I put the itune.app in the trash and re-install?

  • I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle

    I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle on the right side. This is maddening!!

    iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
    I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
    I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
    I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
    I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
    I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.
