Even 1.01 skips songs and freezes / stops videos

I bought my red 3G Nano on september 17th directly at apple store and updated the firmware to 1.01 soon as it arrived. But even wth the updated firmware my iPod randomly skips songs while playing. Some videos are freezing (randomly) or the iPod displays the apple-symbol on a grey radient background. If i restart the same video and scroll to some seconds before the moment it freezes or hangs before it plays fine but hangs some minutes later.
I did all ways of resetting even a complete restore doesnt solve this bug.
Did anyone with 1.01 have the same experience? Is this a hardware defect or a software bug.
regards,
Mark

Ok, my first point is I have never ever had an iPod before i bought these 2 8gb nanos(3g) black and 'red'.
In no way do I want to come across as rubbing your nose in it or smug, but EVERY feature works as designed on my 2, albeit I think Apple should change the way cover flow works on the nanos, ie not covers by artist.
I can only think that either the problems you're getting are related to the content your attempting to 'dump' to the iPod (very unlikely), or that simply you need to replace the iPod ASAP with your nearest Apple store.
Best Regards.

If your ipod freezes, skips songs, and wont load, read this

ok, i have a 4th gen 40gb ipod which worked fine until i upgraded to itunes 5. now my ipod shows a folder with !, songs skip, and it freezes after 5 songs.disk mode didnt help either, as it didnt show up on my computer even though the ipod displayed do not disconnect. I found a fix for it. it sounds dangerous and crude, but it worked for me, and some other people. plug your ipod into your computer and it will say dont disconnect, and your comp probably will be locked up like normal until ipod loads, then take your ipod, and hit it on its side on a hard surface. do it while you hear the Hard drive spinning. NO JOKE. my ipod started working right after. however, the sound is really crappy now, but i was at least able to backup my files, and i'm going to use my warrenty to get a new one. the reason this works is beacuse somehoew the hd pin is out of place, and you can hear it clicking. hitting it will get it back in place. i know this sounds crazy, but trust me, it will stop skipping songs and freezing, and will appear on your computer. I warn you however, if you break your ipod doing this, dont blame me, i'm just saying this because it worked for me. give it a try if nothing else works. hope this helps. itunes 5 was really bad. anyone know where to get itunes 4.9, that was fine for me, and i had a separate podcasting program anyway.

Hi Mark,
I tried entering the serial number onto the apple website, but it says my iPod had not been registered (although I have registered it!).
Anyway, I phoned apple support and they told me to go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill in a service request. Unfortunately it said that my iPod is out of warranty, so I had to phone again to get them to update their records about the and they are sending out a service box in the next few days
I think I'm definately going to take out the applecare service now!

Can anyone assist me with this issue?

To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Now it's Wednesday (2 days since I originally posted) & my iPhone appears to have finally restored all my apps, but it still says it's restoring from iCloud backup. If all my apps are restored, what else could it be restoring? IS it actually restoring anything at this point, or is it still in 'glitch' mode??? I've tried turning it off & back on & it continues to say that it's restoring.

How do I stop iPod on my iPad from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop.

How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

Good luck. I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything. iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist.
In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files). You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order. Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song. You'll still have to double-click on each song.
Might be a good time to learn AppleScript It would also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

I think it must be the app or the ios.

restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

TS3274 My iPad plays a song and then stops; I press manually for next song, but it either plays same song, a different song that I pressed, or will play the next song, but keeps stopping after every song I play. Help?

Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app on your iOS device.

Skipping songs and detection sorta solution

hi there.
i dunno if this has been posted, but when your ipod starts skipping songs, just play pause and when it shows the pause icon (cuz it might freeze a little) then click play again and it will correct that problem. although it can happen next time you use your ipod.
also, i have the problem that lots of us have. the not recognition on pc. i thought my cable was damaged but i tried with a known good one, and same stuff. it says removable disk unit instead of Ipod on My pc. itunes does not reconize it and neither does updater. randomly, it does reconize it, but updater tells me that in order to use ipod, i must have it reformatted. but when i try to do that, it says it cant!!!
personally i think its a software issue that came with around september/november update. apple screwed up i believe.
anyway, i kinda have a temporary solution to this (can say it work on all of you guys but give it a try).
i own a 40gb 4gen not color display ipod, which i treat better than anything so it has not fallen down once. and i tried everything in apples troubleshoot says
well i uninstalled everything ipod related, and installed itunes and updater i was given when i got my ipod, thats itunes 4.7 and updater 2004 04 28. i made my ipod be detected again, but not always.
when updating around track 1100(or long time of connection) te ipod makes a barely audible click kinda noise, and stops updating.
i hope this **** ends up soon cuz ipods aint cheap. also some parts of the usb and firewire cables tear apart themselves. not big deal but that is not the high quality apple is used to give.
and thats a piece of my mind.

I've had these skipping and loading problems... I sent my iPod (4G 20GB black and white) to an apple store... Two months later I was enjoying the new iPod they'd sent me (seems that my iPod had a malfunctioning magnetic support recorder =X)

Ipod skipping songs and getting stuck

my ipod ive had for about a year
after about four months of its purchase though it started having problems, it would skip songs half way and sometimes not even play some of them.
whats the problem?
20GB ipod Windows XP

I have also been having a similar problem. I have the non-U2 version/20G with the click wheel and have had it for a little over a year. I primarily use my iPod in my car with a Griffin iTrip to play through an FM station. I realized recently, however, that I had not heard some of my favorite songs lately (all purchased music).
After a closer look, the iPod is skipping most of my purchased music, both when using the iTrip and my headphones. Once I select a song, it will shuffle through the entire folder or eventually land on a song and play it.
I was worried that the drive might be on its way out, which is why I'm here. I found a previous post where the answer was that there might be an issue with the accounts (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1938283#1938283) and authorization/deauthorization. I have definitely had experience with both, as I moved my iTunes acct to my laptop from my desktop. However, the move was made months ago and my iPod only stopped working a few weeks ago. Since the move, I have connected the iPod to iTunes on the laptop many times, though I have not connected since for several weeks.
Just a few minutes ago, I reconnected the iPod and played some of the songs in question from my iPod's folders and they worked fine. I have since disconnected the pod and tested it again, and it works fine with the headphones as well.
After this, my only conclusion is that I may need to upgrade to a fancy/shiny new model if the problem persists.
Does anyone know what may be causing the issue?
Sony Vaio FS660 Windows XP

ITunes Plays One Song and then Stops

I have had no problems with my iTunes until this morning. I usually use my arrows to skip to different songs and this morning that option didn’t work. So I found the song I wanted to play, clicked on it, and the song played but as soon as it was done iTunes stops playing songs. It will not go on to the next one. I have made sure that I have the “repeat all” button and the “shuffle” button clicked on like always. I even re-downloaded the program to see if that would work. It’s driving me crazy because I usually turn on my music and just let it run while I work. Now I have to click and manually start a new song every time. I have looked through all the preferences, settings, and help topics but nothing seems to help. If you guys know what to do to fix this please let me know! Thank you SO MUCH in advance!!!

Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.

My iPod / iTunes wont transfer songs and freezes

Right quick lowdown... Got iPod classic 160gb last Summer. Transferred all music onto it eventually and it worked perfectly until a few months ago. It randomly crashed when sync'ing one time and then was unable to function properly without crashing thereafter. I sent it back, there was a fault and i got a replacement just the other day.
So tried sync'ing my new iPod. Sync'd like hundred songs or so then stopped with (-69) error coming up. Tried Sync'ing again and it added some more songs then got same error message. Kept trying and then eventually it wiped all songs off iPod that it had sync'ed before. Everytime i try to sync it comes up with a random error message (-53) (-48) (-49) (-120) etc. Lost track of all the errors it's given me.
I have since tried manually transferring songs and some go on without a problem, whereas others cos iTunes and my iPod to freeze. I then get a message saying iTunes is not responding and when i safely remove my iPod it sometimes scrubs everything that was on it, sometimes it doesn't
I read somewhere else i could have corrupt files preventing me from being able to transfer and Sync. The fact is i didn't have trouble before (i used first ipod for months with no problems) and recently been using an old ipod mini while i sorted out my broken classic and it has worked fine with no problems. I've been updating iTunes every time the updates come available.
Can anybody provide any help??? Why has my iPod all of a sudden refused to transfer some songs? Is it likely that corrupt songs are somehow now preventing me from transferring tracks or is there something wrong with this iPod too? Or could there be another fault?
Thanks in advance

160GB Classic is skipping songs and entier albums, sometimes locking up for no reason.

I newly purchased a 160GB iPod classic to replace my 3-year+ old 16GB touch. I found myself wanting more storrage to music and less of games and apps, so it was a no brainer. Anyway, there have been many problem to come with this item and now I'm not sure if I want the pain and agervation that comes with the classic.
Just today I noticed tracks in my playlist would skip. Sometimes the song would never play or the song would get 30-50 seconds in and just skip to the nest. All these problems are on a full-album scale: if one track has this problem, then they all do. Also, mor recently, the iPod has been locking up on me. Even when I just go to connect it to my PC with the USB cable, it will lock-up right when connection is made which will force me to do a device reset. I know the classic is HDD based and not flash memory, but, I can assure you, I've been very careful with it. I always am with my stuff.
I tried to remody these issues with a factory reset thorugh iTunes but this just seemed to make it worse. I've even had iTunes to my iPod is corrucpt and needs to be factory reset.
Should I just take it back while I still can and exchange it for a (maybe?) working version?
Thanks!

Skipping songs are due to corrupted MP3 tag headers, so no point in getting a new iPod, you just need to get your music in your iTunes library fixed by a free 3rd Party software called MP3 validator.
Google it and run for all your music in the library.
Good Luck!

Even 1.01 skips songs and freezes / stops videos
