Batt went dead, recharge. Now ipod skips over only itunes songs

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my problem. My laptop has now had multiple hard drive crashes. 4 to be exact. This last time around I have not downloaded itunes again. My ipod had all my previously purchased music on it as well as copied from CD's. Well the ipod sat for a while and the battery went dead. I recharged the battery and the ipod skips over the itunes songs but not those copied from CD's. Can this be fixed?
I don't want to download itunes and reconnect the ipod because the ipod is already on 4 different hard drives(that no longer exist). I would prefer a different media player than itunes. Any compatible with ipod?
Thanks.

Authorize your iTunes then sync the iPod.

Would you explain?
iPods are not on or linked to hard drives in anyway.

If you have DRM protected songs, no.

  • IPod skipping over cd imported songs?

    First real problem I have had with my iPod video since buying it in December. After I hooked it up to my work computer's iTunes(I normally use my home computer), iTunes(on work computer) indicated that it would only playback the songs I had purchased on iTunes. Now when I listen to my iPod, it skips over every song I imported from CD, and only plays until it reaches something I bought from iTunes. I have looked for settings to change, but I have found none. Does anyone possibly have any suggestions? Thanks!

    That's really wierd.
    First off, right click on a song you imported, and Get Info. Paste all the info here.

  • Ipod mini skips over downloaded itunes songs only

    after downloading songs from itunes, the ipod mini skips over the songs after playing them 3 or 4 times

    Make sure you have the newest version of iTunes and iPod Updater, and do a restore with the Updater and resync the songs via iTunes.
    Generally skipping purchased songs are related to out of date software and updating and restoring or reputting them back on seems to help.

  • My iphone went dead and now has the apple logo blinking on and off

    my iphone 4 went dead and now has the apple logo is slow blinking on and off when it's plugged into my computer. I cannot stop it. Tried a hard restart but nothing happened.

    Morning blgarratt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If it is showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:

  • When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

    When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

  • I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs.  Just got the iPhone.  If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will all  my music automatically transfer to the new phone, or will I lose everything?

    I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs.  Just got the iPhone.  If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will I lose my songs or will they automatically sync to my phone.

    When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres.  See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

  • My iphone went dead and now it won't charge.

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 16GB went dead when I was driving home.  So when I reached my house, I plugged it in to my computer using the iphone connector cable (something that always works).  Now my phone is not charging, and is not showing on the computer as charging. It is completely dead and will not turn on.  The connector cable works because I tested it using my ipod...
    Please help. I don't have the apple support for this phone...

    Without the apple support that greatly reduces your odds.
    I got mine no questions asked becasue I did have it.
    Good luck
    Allan

  • IPod skips over purchased music

    I have a weird problem with my iPod, and I was hoping someone here could help me with it.
    Every couple of weeks, my iPod goes through this weird stage. It will not play any of the songs I purchased from iTunes. I can click on them normally, but then it just skips over all of them instead of playing even one second. It plays all the songs from CDs and songs I had on my computer before just fine, but NONE of the songs I've purchased from iTunes.
    Another weird part is that whenever I hook the iPod up to the computer, the problem goes away. But this doesn't help much, because I'm going to be away from my computer for most of the summer, and I would like a working iPod. Most of my files are from iTunes, too.
    I know this is a really weird problem...I couldn't find anything on the apple FAQ, etc, so I'm sure it's not common. If anyone could help me with it, though, I would reallllllly appreciate it. Can anyone tell me why it does this, or (most importantly!!!!!!!) how to prevent it?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure all the software on your computer and iPod is up to date...

  • Ipod skips over songs

    my ipod mini skips over songs when i select them to play. This doesnt happen all the time but it seems to happen about have way threw the battery life. I also have to press the selecdt button to turnn it on or else it wont come on.
    What should i do?

    I had this problem with my ipod and it was annoying. I can help. Go to your I-Tunes and go to your ipod. Next click the ADVANCED button from your toollbar. The click de-authorize ipod then you will have to go through a bunch of steps like entering your password. Then after it is all done eject your ipod (hint:after you've clicked de-authorize/authorize ipod a window will pop up and you will have two choices i forget them but click the second one). After you are done your ipod will be fixed and ready to go! Its an annoying but fixable problem. Enjoy your ipod.

  • IPod skips over tracks

    I have an iPod mini that contains a playlist with 17 tracks. Tracks 1-14 play just fine but when it gets to track 15 it skips over it, then it skips tracks 16 and 17 as well and starts playing track 1 again.
    I tried importing the playlist into my 5th generation iPod - same problem.
    Tracks 15-17 will play in iTunes, however.
    I don't know why these tracks won't play. I did alter tempi in these three tracks using Pro Tools - I suspect this has something to do with it but I need these tracks to play on the iPod mini. Any advice?

    Try here: iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

  • An older style Ipod has over 10,000 songs on it.  The original computer that contained these songs on itunes has since been replaced.  Can itunes/match get the songs from this ipod to store in match and then put on new computer/itunes?

    Can this new service of itunes/match allow you to retrieve songs from an older style ipod, store them in match, and then download them onto a new computer/itunes?  The original computer that contained these songs has since been replaced b/c it broke down.  There were alot of songs on there and now I can't get the songs onto my new computer.  Can match work from ipod > match > computer?

    Only if it is an iPod touch that you can turn on iTunes Match.
    The original computer that contained these songs has since been replaced b/c it broke down. 
    Did you make a backup of all the  important files on this computer before it broke down?
    Try this -> http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/
    Then backup your computer after you recover the items.
