  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

  • HT203167 I've downloaded the Now Christmas album, all but 1 song has been downloaded and put in my library.  The list says it's there but when I go to play it, iTunes skips past it and goes to the next song.  I have downloaded lastest version of iTunes.

    I have purchased and downloaded the Now Christmas album to my iTunes libary and all but 1 song have been purchased.  The song appears in my library but when I go to play it iTunes skips past it and goes to the next song.  It wouldn't normally bother me but its the only song my son wants to hear all the time (hopefully the heart strings will be pulled here and someone will reply before Christmas to help me!)  I've loaded the last verison of iTunes.

    Will the media file play with Quicktime Player? If it will then it's an iTunes issue. If it won't then you need to delete the file and download it a second time.

    It seems like alot of people are having this problem tonight. I dont know how to fix it but i hope apple fixes iTunes soon.

  • TS1362 I have downloaded the song "Bruises" by Band of Skulls and it plays to about 1.20 remaining and then just stops and goes to the next song. How do you fix this?

    I removed the song from the itunes library and then added it again, but the same issue still exists.
    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

    My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Some of my songs on my iTunes are stopping towards the end and going to the next song. It won't play those specific songs the entire way through.

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro and transfered my entire library to my new laptop. Itunes was working fine until I started to notice that certain songs won't play the entire way through. It'll stop at like 1:43 or another random time and skip right to the next song. I know I definitely bought some of these songs off of iTunes, and I really don't want to repurchase them. I don' understand why this would even be happening because they played fine on my old computer! Is there any way I can get them to play all the way through again!?

  • My Apple TV seems to be stopping in the middle of songs and going to the next song

    Any suggestions on why my Apple TV would play 10 or 15 seconds of a song and then shift to the next song? It doesn't occur on every song, but very randomly.

    You can't do much else besides pull the plug. If it causes further problems you should be able to restore as below:
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    On the other hand you may be able to simply start the update again. If however the update continues to fail, you should try the restore routine above.

  • 4th gen iPod touch- had to do a restore, and now I can't get the podcasts app back.  I had it before the restore.

    I went to sync my iPod to my laptop last night, and it said I had to do a system restore as it couldn't read the contents of my device.  I tried restarting both my iPod and my laptop to see if this maybe fixed the issue, but it did not.  When I restored the iPod, I know my last backup (less than 2 weeks prior) had the Podcasts app, but NOW, it tells me when I tried to both download from previous purchases on my iPod and on my iTunes that I have to have iOS 7.  I've had the app practically since it came out and have had nothing but problems with it, but can't seem to find an app that will connect to my vehicle's system without a wi-fi signal.  Any ideas?  You're supposed to be able to get the compatible download through the previously purchased list.

    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, 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.

  • Hey so my song cuts off after 40 seconds and goes to the next song in my playlist how do i fix this?

    I had downloaded the new Mac Miller CD after it popped up that I had the option to download it when I opened up Itunes because I had pre-ordered it now some of the songs cut after 40seconds. Any help is appreciated.

    From your description you are looking at the song from iTunes as it exists on your iDevice.  The functionality you are referring to applies when selecting the song in your library, in which case you get the full menu of options like this:
    Depending on other settings, you may be able to add the song to a playlist on your device from those listed at the top of the submenu when you select Add to Playlist.  The Show in Playlist option that you refer to doesn't modify anything - it just lists and allows you to select any other playlists that contain the same song.
    Likewise, the options available for creating new playlists from the "mini menu" at the top left of the screen apply only if you have your library selected, not your device.  In the latter case you will see this:
    The same operation when your library is selected shows the full range of available options:
    I find the most effective approach to be to create and modify playlists within iTunes - as part of the library - and then sync to iDevices, rather than trying to modify any device content directly.

  • Help.....my ipod keeps flicking off and going to the power off screen, help.....my ipod keeps flicking off and going to the power off screen

    help...my ipod keeps returning to the power off screen and keeps flickering?

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

  • I can't burn my playlist on several CDs anymore without stopping the process and going to the next selection of songs. First I could, now it re-burns the same selection of songs over and over again.

    I was able to burn the whole contents of a playlist on several CDs in a row. When I do it now however it will re-burn the same selection over and over again without moving to the next. What can be done?
