Forget song last played after using iPod as a disk (Win)

Hi,
I use my nano as a hard disk to store some info. Each time I do so, then I go back to music it comes back to the very first song in the list and doesn't remember where it used to be.
This means that each time I disconnect it from my PC, I have to scroll through the artists, albums and songs to get back where I was.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks for any help.

Everytime you sync this happens, not a bug. It goes back to the main menu. I suggest use the search or make a playlist with the albums you want to go to.

The date last played on my iPod songs stays the same.

I don't know why, the Date Last Played on my iPod songs do not update. Not sure if the number of plays changes, but is there a reason for this? It's an iPod Nano, 5th gen. I think.
Thanks for any help.

You may try to apply the current iPod updater.

HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

How do you get your songs to play after you authorized the computer your on?

Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
If it's a Mac, try Senuti or Music Rescue.

HT1473 How do I get a purchased song to play on my ipod shuffle remote from the docking station?

How do I get a purchased song to play on my ipod shuffle remote from the docking station?

I can think of only one reason a song would be "converted" while it is being loaded on a shuffle.
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, depending on iPod model, go to the Summary or Settings tab. There should be a setting there that says Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC (the 128 kbps part may be adjustable). If that checkbox is checked, try unchecking it.
NOTE: This setting may allow more songs to fit on the shuffle, but for any converted song, the sound quality will become inferior. So I don't use it.

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.

Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

IPod loses "Last Played" after being connected to another computer

I've done a lot of searching on this, but it's a hard thing to search for since it's difficult to explain. Hopefully someone has heard of this before. If it's already been posted somewhere, I apologize.
Basically, I sync my iPod classic 80gb with my work computer. I use a lot of smart playlists to manage what I listen to. "Last Played" is an integral part of my smart playlist system.
If I connect my iPod to any computer other than my work computer, the iPod will forget any of the songs I listened to since the last time I synced. I would like to be able to use the iPod as a portable hard drive, but when I do I lose this information. I just tested this to be sure, but when this happens, I don't lose any ratings that I've given to songs since my last sync. So far I've only noticed "Last Played" being dropped.
Any information would be a huge help. Thanks!

Songs stop playing after 45 seconds

I have the ipod classic and it seems like some of the songs are stopping after 45 seconds of play. The timer says the whole song is there and I checked my computer library and it plays all the way thru on the computer.

I, too, am having this issue. I have the 5th gen iPod nano using the latest software on Windows XP Pro fully patched.
I had imported songs from Windows Media Player, all of which were ripped from CD.
I had read other posts on the 'net that the conversion process may have messed up timing and the song cuts off. However, The track plays fine on iTunes. Given that scenario I deleted the offending track from iTunes library and iPod and re-ripped from CD using iTunes at 256kpbs. This has not solved the problem.
I took the drastic measure of using the restore to factory option and re-sync'd with iTunes. This did not solve the issue either.
/facepalm
Any thoughts??

Newly purchased songs stop playing after 12 seconds

I have reviewed many posts on this topic and have yet to find what appears to be a solution.
Here is what is going on:
I recently upgraded my system from an aged laptop running xp home to the current desktop running xp pro.
My collection of songs include from CD's and from apple store. I transferred over the songs only but not the library to the new system.
All the old songs seem to play just fine.
I have now purchased some new songs on the new system. These new songs will play for 8-12 seconds and then stop and play the next song for 8-12 songs, then stop and etc until it reaches one of the songs collected from the previous system. Then it plays those completely.
What I have done so far:
1. Deleted the authorization file. re-authorized the songs. The same songs are still stopping at the same interval 8-12 seconds.
2. Played the songs in quicktime. The same songs still stop after 8-12 seconds.
3. I disabled anti-spyware, and anti-virus programs. same issue remains.
4. I ran a McAfee AntiVirus scan and came up clean.
Again these songs were all downloaded successfully from the Apple Ipod store. I have the latest version of ITunes now.
Any suggestions?

Last Played tagging with iPod on iPhone 3GS

Thanks to Allan and Spaceman Spliff for their useful advice on my previous question.
I have another one, and one that has bugged me quite a bit since getting the iPhone. Whenever I use the iPod on the iPhone, I get no Last Played tagging. Let me see if I can be clearer. If I use the iPhone as an iPod (at the gym, say) and then take it to work and look at the Last Played tags, there aren't any. It's as if the iPhone/iPod does not put any Last Played tags. The tags work if I play the iPhone/iPod songs through a computer, but not if I use the standalone iPhone/iPod. I use Last.FM to scrobble my songs, and if there are no tags, there are no scrobbles.
Thanks,
Toni

I definitely see this with podcasts. It's harder to be sure with AAC files.
I believe this is a fairly longstanding bug.
It's extremely annoying. It does mess up my smart playlists.

SONGS NOT PLAYING iTunes 7, iPod 1.1.2.8

WOW, HOW ABOUT THAT?! MY IPOD WON'T PLAY MUSIC... I recently upgraded to the new itunes (computer reformat) and upon plugging my working ipod in, it prompts to upgrade to iPod 1.2. Assuming (regretably) that it might have fixed some of the problems in 1.1.1.0, I agreed. Now none of the songs I transfer will even play on my ipod. I cannot click "play" on an artist OR "Music" or an album, unless it's one that it wants to play.
If anyone has any fixes, suggestions, besides going WAY OUT of my way. PLEASE reply. Otherwise, I plan on restoring my ipod and hopefully finding a download of the less-sh**ty v6 of iTunes.
I guess I will HAVE TO F*ING RESTORE my IPOD FOR THE I-DON'T-KNOW-HOW-MANY'TH TIME. THIS IS REDICULOUS!!! AN IPOD THAT DOESN'T PLAY MUSIC!!! Of course, they have those Pay-For games down pat, don't they. You Mac fans have no idea about a monopoly. What choices do you have for an operating system? I will use this HACK to downgrade:

Set the visible build ID to a lower number than you want to update to. This will allow you to again UPGRADE to a new version instead of having to do a factory restore. Why they don't let you do this by default, I don't know. But it works fine.

I too can't believe that Apple has pubically done nothing to admit there are "issues" with iTunes 7. All of management must be too busy congradulating themselves for a job well done releasing wonderful new product with the revolutionary iTunes 7. Shouldn't these people be working on Windows Vista?
So far, I've lost everything on my iPod, all of my podcasts cannot be transferred from my computer, I can't run any Windows programs while iTunes is running or my computer locks up so bad I have to un plug it and iTunes will not even open if you don't have an internet connection. Yeah this is really convienent. Nice job.
I really hope that the person responsible for releasing this looses their job as this has not only cost me money from my lost purchased downloads but also lost productivity in taking the time to troubleshoot this software that countless engineers should have done.

Bought 2 albums from iTunes and synced with my pc and now the songs wont play on my ipod. Why?

Purchased 2 albums from itunes on my ipod touch. Synced it with my PC (after updating iTunes software on PC) and now my songs (the albums I bought plus a few others) will not play on my iPod touch. Can anyone help me with this?

Single song wont play on my ipod

I have one new song in particular that will not play on my iPod. It works fine on my computer in iTunes, but in my iPod when I try to play it, the iPod hangs for about two seconds, and then skips over to the next song.
I figured that the file must have been corrupted somehow even though it worked on my PC, so I deleted it from my PC. I then synced my iPod and chose not to transfer it so it would be removed from my iPod as well. Then, I spent the 99 cents to just buy it again. Brand new download, and the same problem is still happening.
Any help would be appreciated.

The only suggestion I could make is to ensure that the song is aac format and/or under a certain file size. I had a problem with one song also and converting to aac fixed it-- probably because the file size was dramatically reduced by the conversion. However, if you purchased this song from the iTunes store it should be in aac it think.

Some songs stop playing after minute 1

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.
