5G iPod skipping songs after iPod Update 1.1

After I updated my 5G 60 Gig video iPod to Update 1.1, my iPod started to skip certain songs. I have tried erasing the songs, importing them again from the CD, and reloading them back to the iPod and the iPod still won't play those SPECIFIC songs! Never had this problem before the update.
Btw, if I restore my iPod will I have to reload all the songs/files again?
Thank you for your help!

Ok... This is so strange. If I import those skipped/unplayable songs from the CDs again using a different encoder (MP3 instead of AAC), the resulting songs would play fine on the iPod. Again, never had this problem before Update 1.1.

All the time I plug my iPod Shuffle to my iTunes it says it needs to be restore and after I restored it and add music it only skips song after song without playing one completely. What should I do?

Ipod skipping songs after a few seconds

I have been having problems with playing certain songs on my new 80GB ipod classic (all ripped from CDs, not purchased or downloaded).
The songs will skip to the next song after anything from right at the beginning of the song to 30 seconds in. If I go back, I can fast forward past the point it skips, and it will play to the end.
I have already tried deleting the songs from my library and re-importing, restoring my ipod with the latest software and checking that the stop time on the song is correct. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks

I have a similar issue, the only difference being that when I fast forward it will not continue to play, only again, skip to the next song.
After some research I have found that the only thing that seems to work for me is to convert my files to MP3 using the "convert to MP3" function found in iTunes. All my songs are already in MP3, but the reason this works is due to the encoding. If the encoding is unknown, it seems more often than not my iPod will skip those tracks. When you convert it to mp3 using iTunes it changes the encoding to some kind of iTunes encoding.
This makes me VERY angry. There is no way I have found to sort the items by their encoding as to convert only the problematic ones. Also, when you convert it changes the bit rate to read what ever your rip settigs are. This ***** because I plan on reripping some of my CDs that I ripped years ago at a low bit rate. If I convert to MP3 I cannot search my library to see which ones were ripped at the lower rate.
It also creates a duplicate of the audio file, which means I will not have enough space on my hard drive to compensate for over 12000 duplicated at a higher or equivilant bit rate.

IPhone 4S skips songs after iOS 6 update. What is wrong with it?, iPhone 4S skips songs after iOS 6 update. What is wrong with it?

After I updated to iOS 6 when I listen to music. It skips songs. When I tap to play a song it skips 2-6 songs and plays a random song. Why is this? Can it be fixed?

AAAhhhh.. c'mon Apple this is REALLY annoying.
OK - before the IOS6 update... ituenes match worked fine. Now... i have songs skipping. It will show the artwork for a brief moment and then automatically move onto the next song.
I've tried everything, turning both match on device and itunes on and off, restore etc.
Anybody any solutions? I suggest we all demand our money back for itunes match for a start as I'm not paying for a product that doesn't work! I'm sure if we all do this Apple will hurry up and get it sorted!

Ipod attempts to play but skips song after song

I'm pretty sure its a 5th gen. ipod. A song title appears and it says for the time 0.00, waits 15-30 seconds, and then skips to the next song. It is as if the iPod tries to play the song, but can't figure out how to do so. It continues to do this and maybe every 10th song plays fine. I've restored it and rebooted it.
Has anyone had this problem and is there something else I can do to get it working correctly?

See if these help.

IPod Classic 160GB skipping songs after a few minutes play

I've got an annoying problem with my iPod Classic 160GB. It gets to about 3 minutes or so into a song (sometimes more sometimes less then just skips to the next one. It's about a couple of years old (I got it as a replacement when the battery of my 120GB Classic failed) and has been excellent.
It doesn't just do it when I'm walking along - I've put it on my desk now for experimental purposes and it's the same thing. They all play fine in iTunes.
Most of my iTunes recordings are now Apple Lossless - the lower bitrate songs and podcasts seem to play through fine. I've hard-reset and restored the machine.
I have heard some noises coming from the hard disc - could the HDD be failing? Very disappointed if so - and what else can be done short of converting my large iTunes library to a lower bitrate? But that defeats the object of having the Classic's high capacity which is the ability to store and play higher quality recordings. It never did this in the past - nor on my original 120GB

I've done the iPod diagnostic tests on the HDD (select-menu then select-back) and it comes up with no errors or bad sectors. Hmm

60 gig ipod skips songs after 10-15 secs.

In addition to freezing video, I have a 1/2 dozen or more songs I purchased from itunes that play the first 15 seconds and skip to the next song. I also have itunes songs that don't play to the end. Does anyone have a work around for this problem?
I downgraded the firmware to 1.0 in order to try to enjoy the video aspects of the Ipod but still the video playback is terrible. 1.1 made every video jump including videos I purchased from itunes.
I hope Apple fixes this issue.
Any help is appreciated.

80GB iPod Classic looks to have deleted all my songs after iTunes update - please help!!!

I know there have been topics about this in the past, but I haven't found a solution to my particular case in any of them. So I'm sorry that this topic may seem redundant, but I really need help.
I have an 80GB iPod classic I bought 5+ years ago. It has been running fine for months. After I downloaded and installed the new iTunes upgrade however, when I connected the iPod it gave me the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of .... iPod. Please restore etc". I really don't want to have to restore it and lose my music, as it is almost full of music, much of which is hard to find. I don't often back up my library (I know, I know), but I have one from a few months ago I can use if I really have to (it'll be better than starting completely over), but I don't know where that would be saved on my computer. My music isn't saved in another folder so simply restoring and putting the music back into my iPod isn't an option either.
I am running Windows XP home edition if that helps with solutions.
Please help me, I really don't want to have to start my music collection from scratch.

Can't authorize some songs after last update

After the last software update (most recent) I am getting an error that Itunes can't authorize 53 songs and one game for my computer to be played on my ipod. (3rd gen)
These songs were purchased on my powerbook. Some were even loaded off of a CD. I also can't figure out why the game peggle I bought can't authorize.
any thoughts?

iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Music Playback, Iphone skips songs after 5mins of playback

Hi, My Iphone5s skips to next songs without completing the current one. I have noticed this in songs larger than 5mins. Iphone moves to next song exaclty after 5mins of playback. How do I stop this, Is there any settings?

Hello deepvil
The way to resolve the issue with playback skipping is to remove the songs and then sync them. If it continues, then you will need to reimport the songs into iTunes. If they were purchased, you can download them directly to your iPhone without syncing with iTunes.

ITunes 7.0.1 still erasing my songs after failed update

I am updating my ipod and have received both the corrupt file and now the unknown error -69 message. The bad part is that somewhere in that instance, it is erasing the songs off my iPod. I've restored many times and brought it in to a store where they restored it without much help (since it worked on their systems, they said it must be my computer, yet I've encountered this error on 3 separate computers!)
I never had this problem before iTunes 7. Can anyone help?

As an update: It looks like iTunes 7.0.1 was not the culprit. At the same time I had upgraded, I also installed a Dazzle Media Bridge. That turned out to be the problem;
My symptoms:
Plugging in the iPod would lock up the Windows explorer and the iPod drive did not mount. Sometimes I could get the drive letter to show up but the device could not be browsed. An attempt at formatting the iPod never worked. The iPod Mini would mount successfully on a different PC (running iTunes 7.0)
Finally, I unplugged the Dazzle Bridge and the iPod immediately mounted as a drive. It is now syncing properly with iTunes 7.0.1

How can I intro play / auto-skip songs after a set amount of play time?

I'm using iTunes on Windows 7 and I'm curious if there's a way, using iTunes itself or with a plug-in, to just intro play through my playlists. By this I mean, play only the first 30 seconds or so of each song before skipping to the next track.
Any help greatly appreciated.

well, that's no fun...

ITunes had deleted songs after recent update

Recently updated cloud and iTunes software and now songs that have recently been purchased before the update are no longer in playlists or in my music library. Any suggestions people?

Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
If that doesn't help, try redownloading the tracks from the iTunes Store.

Lost Everything after transfer/update

I cant find any of my recently bought apps/songs after recently updating my ipod to a new computer after the old one crashed. When transfering there was a button that asked about transfering music and losing purcahes. I didnt read it carefully and clicked continue. Now everything is gone and I cant seem to find purchases anyway. I was wondering if there is anyway to get this stuff back?
