5th Generation IPOD will not play

Up to this morning everything has been working fine. Today only 6 songs will play out of 25 CD's and 2 video's that have been loaded the past 3 months. When I attempt to play a particular CD, it runs through each playlist song but will not play any of them. I reset the IPOD however, that did not fix the problem.
Gateway   Windows XP  

I have the same problem, with a few additional things- these same files which the iPod just breezes through one by one (and not playing) will not play in iTunes on my computer, either- an exclamation point appears next to the track in the album, and it doesn't offer to have me locate anything.
Ditto for some videos- ! in iTunes next to them when I try to play, and on the iPod when I try to play said videos, the screen goes black for a while and then goes back to the menu I was just at.
Some MP3s work fine, some videos work fine, everything else SEEMS ok.
Answers or better yet, a fix...someone, anyone- PLEASE??!!!?
FYI, GQCOP, I just dumped by files that did this, though there were quite a few. Grrr.

  • My 5th Generation iPod will not play

    I've never had any problems with my 5th generation iPod before. Then I went to listen to it, and it will not play sound at all. It looks like it is playing the song, the title is coming up, the timer is running... I skip through songs, forward through songs, go to different playlists.... everything. I can do everything on the ipod, but it will not play any sound. HELP!!?!?!?

    The above post is great. That technique called a reset, but it should only take about 5-15 seconds before you see the Apple logo. Much longer then that and there might be something else wrong. And it won't hurt your files at all.
    If that doesn't fix your problem, try a different set of earphones. Test them on another device first to make sure their working. Or you can test the earphones you're already using with another stereo to isolate the problem to either the earphones or the iPod.
    If it is the iPod that's the problem you can also try to restore your iPod in iTunes. You're iPod will be erased and new software will be loaded.

  • My 5th gen ipod will not play in itunes

    I have updated my ipod and downloaded the most current itunes software.  I can see all of my songs and playlist but they will not play when selected.

    I ran into similar problem. This what worked:
    OS: XP (itunes 7.5), iPod - classic
    1. Backup itunes.
    2. Uninstall itunes.
    3. Reboot PC
    4. Reinstall itunes.
    5. Reboot PC
    6. Restore itunes from the Backup (it seems this is not necessary, but these are the steps I did)
    7. Restore ipod
    After the above steps - the songs that were skipped earlier play.
    Hope that helps.

  • My 5th Generation iPod will not sync under Windows Vista

    Wow.. I finally got registered on this forum, took ages lol.
    Well I've got the latest version of the iTunes software and I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium.
    When I connect my iPod, it detects ok and then iTunes starts to sync it.. after about five seconds or so I get an error stating I do not have sufficient privelages to update the "My Music" folder, and thus my iPod will not update. Immediately after this error I check device manager, and a "USB Mass Storage Device" is detected with an error state (a yellow exclamation mark next to it). I can delete this from device manager, re-connect my iPod and it will do exactly the same all over again.
    Can anyone help?

    I've had it working in the past, thats what is odd.
    It just refuses to update saying I don't have the necessary privelages.
    Not sure when the next version of iTunes will be released, hope its soon.

  • 5th Generation Ipod Will not restore.. What do I do??

    I try to restore but it stops about half way and freezes. What do I do???

    I had the same problem for a while with my iPod displaying a folder with an exlamation mark. When i came to restore factory settings before beginning to install i got an error message stating "disk drive error". Luckily after serveral computer restarts and disconnecting and connecting my iPod to the computer it decided to restore factory settings, fairly fortunate.

  • IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

    iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My 2nd generation ipod will not stay on an app

    my 2 nd generation ipod will not stay on an app for instance ghost radar classic stays on for a minute then goes to app store

    Believe it or not the iPod can go for months on end without ever completely powering down. Sometimes it helps to simply reboot it like any computer.
    The following article explains how to do that, and more:

  • My ipod will not play on my new car stereo.

    My ipod will not play on my new car stereo. It says that the ipod classic 2.0.4 is compatible and mine is 2.0.4 PC. the stereo says to update ipod. is there any way around this?

    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site?
    Does the manufacturer say the dock works with your model iPod Touch and iOS?  Many do not.

    My iPod will not play the next song, it continously plays the same song unless I manually change it.

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

  • Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

    My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

    See this article.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Latest generation 160 gb ipod will not play music when play button is pressed

    latest generation 160 gb ipod classic will not play songs when play is pressed.Everything else forms and functions are ok

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.
