5G iPod resets while listening to playlists?

Any help would be appreciated on this. At home, I recently upgraded to iTunes 7. I am also current with my iPod upgrades.
Since then, my 5G iPod (30GB) has started resetting itself seemingly randomly while I am listening to music - the song stops and the black screen/silver apple show up, then it goes back to my top-level menu.
None of my music is missing, and I haven't had any audio trouble. I am wondering, however, if having iTunes 7 at home and iTunes 6 at work (they won't let us download software upgrades) is causing some sort of system conflict.
Any advice? Is this just simply a question of rebooting the thing?
Thx.

I have this same problem with a couple of podcasts: Democracy Now and le show.
by any chance, are those podcasts mono mp3s? if so, it might be worth trying the workaround from this document:

Make sure you are resetting the iPod correctly.

It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

It depends on how your iPod is set up to sync music from your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually. If it's automatically, simply remove the tick mark next to "Sync Music" from under the iPod's music configuration pane in iTunes.
To access this pane, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary pane. Now locate the Music pane along the top. Remove the tick mark next to Sync Music and hit Apply. This will remove all content from the iPod. When it has finished, re-select the Sync Music option and again hit Apply to re-sync all your music back over to your iPod from iTunes.

IPod resets while plugged in

For the past few days, nearly everytime I plug my iPod Touch (2nd gen) into my PC it resets itself during playback through my iPod. Any help out there?

I'm having the same problem. Did you fix it in the end?
Mine resets on its own to the first of january 1970 as well.

IPod resets itself while trying to play certain songs.

For no specific reason, this has only happened so far with audio from my "Comedy" playlist. Either this is coincidental or my iPod lacks a sense of humor. Please let it be the former.
Anyway, when this occurs it takes me to the silvery Apple logo screen and the iPod resets. However, it only happens when I start to play the file. If I go through the list hitting the next button while on pause, there's no problem.
Two questions:
1) Has anyone else encountered this?
2) Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to correct it?
As a side note, this also happened with my old monochromatic 20GB 4G iPod, but that issue was more randomly initiated, and was probably due to its failing battery.

This has been asked and answered a couple of times and I think that the same answer should help you out.
Seems like you're a victim of the 1.2 firmware bug. It's causing mp3 mono tracks (which I could very much believe some comedy routines would be encoded as) to reset your iPod. the only workaround at the moment seems to be to set your EQ to OFF (under Settings > EQ > OFF). That seems to work for some people.
Your other option is to try and reencode your tracks so they're not mono-mp3.
I hope that helped. =)

Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing. You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.

3 beeps while listening to ipod

so, while listening to a song, i seem to have gotten 3 beeps on playback. the song doesn't stop or anything, it just beeps three times and then resumes playback. strange. any ideas?

Does this happen on every song?
If it's just one song, there are no beeps in that songs when you listen to it with iTunes?
Are the beeps coming through the headphones, or the iPod's internal speaker?

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
Failing this I would take it in for service.

My ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

my ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

The problem is the "screen saver". Normally after some time the backlight of your ipod is switched off automatically and a clock appears. This doesn't work properly and leads to resets.
The solution: You have to go in the main menu to "settings/backlight and activate "Always on". After that your ipod should work properly. To avoid a very low battery runtime now, you have to adjust the brighness settings to a low value.
This also solves problems like radomly skipping songs or stopping playback.
I really would like apple to solve this problem, but i doubt this will ever happen.

My ipod froze while reseting what can i do ?

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.

Listening from iPod mini while connected

My computer speakers are broken so I was wondering how to listen to the music from my iPod mini while its connected to my computer and I'm doing stuff in iTunes. I can't find an option in iTunes and I've tried plugging the headphones straight into my computer but no luck. any ideas?

You will need to set the iPod to manually update your music. Then you will be able to listen to your iPod when it's hooked up to your computer.
If you're running iTunes 7.0 just follow these directions.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.0/en/2580.html
You'll then be able to browse and listen to your music on the iPod like you would if it was on your computer.

IPod resets when selecting playlists.

I recently updated to the 1.1 version of the iPod nano 6th gen. Everything was fine before the update, but afterwards, when I tried to access my playlists, the iPod just reset. Now every time I try to go select a playlist the iPod resets after I hit the playlist icon. What do I do?

That is strange. Have you tried resetting?
Hold down the volume down and the sleep/wake button till the screen goes dark. See what happens after that.
The only other thing would be to connect it to your computer then hold down the volume up, down and sleep/wake button till iTunes tells you it is going to restore it.
let us know what happens
Also, how many playlists have you sync'd with the nano?
What kinds of playlists are in that mix?
If there are smart playlists, what are the criteria you have set in them?

IPod touch no longer synching playlists

Hi,
A couple of days ago, my iPod Touch no longer syncs playlists. I have a couple of playlists with a few hundred songs. The playlist shows up on the iPod in the playlist menu, but if you go into the playlist, it only shows 2 or 3 songs. But if you go under songs, all the songs are there.
Steps I've taken to fix this:
1. Reset iPod. No change.
2. Deleted and created a bunch of entirely new playlists, error still occurs.
3. Restored iPod to factory settings. No change.
4. Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. No change.
Has anyone seen this before? It's very annoying. I'm stuck listening to all my songs on shuffle, even if I just wanted to listen to a select few I put in the playlist.

Auto-synching.
The playlist is a Smart Playlist, created with the following rule:
"name" "starts with" and then the letter, which I change daily.
Options checked are:
Limit to 10gb selected by random
Match Only Checked Items
Live Updating
Again, when I sync, all the songs make it over, but the playlist is empty or only contains a couple of songs. This only seems to happen with Smart Playlists. If I select all the songs in the smart playlist, then create a new playlist based on the selection, this will sync properly.

Ipod consolidated all of my playlists into one

While updating Ipod consolidated all of my playlists into one. And I thought if I got rid of the super playlist it would have to go back to the regular system. The library and all the other playlists are still intact but now it says, "Ipod cannot update becasue there are no songs in the playlist." But there are songs there and there are songs in the library as well. What's wrong? What happened? What did I do wrong?
Ipod-Nano Windows 2000 2GB

Open iTunes prefs -> iPod.
it should be set to Auto update only selected playlists.
Select the playlists you want to go onto the iPod.
