Yesterday, everything was working fine. I sync'd last night, and when I went to play the games on my Touch...nothing. The game seems like it's going to start, but then it just goes back to the main apps menu screen.

My ipod touch won't play on the new docking station I got.

My ipod touch won't play via the new docking station I got for xmas. Wors with a 3.5mm connector but not on the ipod connection itself. Seems like other ipods and iphones work on it but not mine. what can I do to fix this?

- Does your iPOd have iOS 5 and do the other devise have an earlier version?
- Some users have reported that some docks no longer worked after updating to iOS 5/5.0.1
- What the dock maunufacturer's support site say about compatibility wth your model iPod and iOS?

Ipod touch won't play songs from the beginning

After upgrading to version 4.0.2, my ipod touch won't play music from the beginning. This happens no matter I play music in iTunes or using my ipod touch without connecting to the computer. I restarted the device and this still happens. What can I do about it? Can anyone help?

Hello lc_llc,
Double check each track to make sure the *Remember Playback Position* option has not been abled from under the Options tab of the track's *Get Info* window in iTunes.

My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

Hi,
Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
Kind Regards,
Ward

So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

Games hesitate & music won't play...any ideas?

Some of my games act like they are hesitating and slow to respond. Tonight my music won't play at all. I press the arrow button and two lines come up then reverts back to the arrow. It has never done this before and I have no idea what to do.. I;m 64 yrs old and not real computer savvy.

New iPod touch won't play songs or videos from iTunes!

Hello,
I purchased a 64gb iPod touch for my niece for Christmas. We set it up and synced her library this afternoon. None of the songs synced from iTunes will play (cover art appears but the song never plays - we have tried pressing pause and restarting, etc.). Also, the iPod says it "cannot open" the movie we synced. It will play one song that we purchased from the store using wifi (and will play that song instead of playing some of the other synced songs if you try to play them now).
We have restored twice (once from a PC, once from a mac). The same issue recurs each time.
This is turning out to be a huge disappointment for her, so any suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks!

Ipod touch won't play movies or songs w/album covers

Hi all - Before I left for a very long trip I downloaded a bunch of tv shows, movies and songs from itunes on a 32G ipod touch. I also was asked to update the software to 2.1 - which I did.
Prior to this, everything worked great!! I even had a movie on the ipod that worked fine before, but I hadn't finished watching it, so I left it there to finish now.
Sunday night, I got on the plane for my first leg of the trip, and tried to finish watching the movie and got the error message "this movie could not be played." I then tried every other video I had downloaded from itunes and got the same error message each time. Sometimes it would display the play, pause and volume controls, but never any video - and the error message would always appear.
Then I went to play my music -- nothing!! Except, I realized today, songs that do not display album covers play fine... I know this sounds odd - but it is true. I can only listen to songs that do not have album covers connected to them. The others are silent until they end.
So basically, EVERYTHING (music and videos) that I have downloaded from itunes does not work and every song that I downloaded from a CD does work. And Sunday morning, before doing the software upgrade, it all worked fine...
I have turned the device off and on a bunch of times -- I have reset all settings at least five times. I let the battery drain out and recharged it and still no change... I would even be willing to wipe the device clean and start over - However, I will not be near my computer for several weeks.
Can someone please help me - At 4am PST I leave for the airport to get on another plane for a 10 hour trip and cannot maintain my sanity without my music and videos.
Thank you in advance for your help and thank you on behalf of all of the passengers on my next two flights too!!

Hey!
I recall encountering this problem myself after the 2.1 update.Albeit only with some of my iTunes purchases(only the ones I'd bought thru my iPT).
I did a couple of resets,which did nothing to resolve the problem.
In the end, I re-connected to my Mac and did another 'sync'.Which then cured the pod of it's problem.
Not much use to you at the moment I know,but it was(in my case) an easy remedy to the problem.
Cheers,
John

My 2nd generation ipod touch won't play on my new speaker dock but my iphone does

I just purchased a new speaker dock for my ipod touch but when I dock it it shows it's charging but no sound comes out of the speakers. When I dock my iphone on it, it plays fine and I know the ipod touch works because it plays on my old speaker dock.

You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
Many vendors when they are updating apps for iOS 5 have droped support for iOS les than 4. It could be that the dock manufacturer is not support earlier iOSs and/or the 1G iPod.
I went to nadelectronics.com and only found the:
- VISO 1 which did not really say anything about compatibility.
- NAD IPD 2 Dock which said "Compatible with all current iPods and iPhones. The 1G with iOS 2.x may not be considerd current.

I touch won't play

I have a 32GB touch with 4400 songs and a few movies and photos. the i touch plays music fine but when i plug it in to my sony deck the deck shows error. When i hook it up to my Kenwood car stereo it shows no music data. just started doing this since I updated I tunes.

The iTouch 2G/3G can play a HD encoded video/movie file.
I was able to convert Blu-ray movies and tv episodes into mp4 files then imported them into iTunes and loaded it into my iTouch.
My iTouch played those HD files without any problems.
Very clear pictures and very good sound =:)
The only problem is storage as a blu-ray encoded file is Huge!
A movie will be about ~5-7GB while a tv episode is ~1-1.5G so make sure you have the higher capacity iTouch to view these files.
Lastly.. these files play well in iTunes and looks better if you view it via a HD monitor and sounds better using decent stereo speakers with the PC =;)

Movies downloaded to iPod touch won't play on the computer when transferred over.

The movies I bought from an iPod touch , and then transferred to my computer using iTunes will not play. They give error code 2401 on QuickTime an say stuff like invalid codec, invalid sample description, etc. I'm very upset because I paid for these movies and I should be able to watch them! I've tried recouping them to my computer but nothing so far has worked. Pleeeease help me.

Have you converted the movie file to the correct Extention to play on the PC?
Go to the info panel of the file in iTunes and make sure it ends in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" those are playable in QuickTime Player.

My iPod touch won't play music through the dock speakers

The other day I went to plug my IPod touch into my dock to play some music, as i do every night. My dock seemed fine, my IPod started charging, but when i turned the music on it only played out of the IPod speakers, not out of the dock. i figured it was the dock that was broken, so i plugged my IPod into my backup dock and it did the exact same thing. The only way i can get my IPod to play music out of the dock is to plug it in through the headphone jack. My IPod still plays music out loud so i have no idea what's wrong.

There is another thread entitled "brand new iPod touch 4th gen will not sit on dock of Sony Dream Machine" that mentions similar problems and claims to be resolved. Actually it is not. Some say that there is a plastic piece to bend but it is unspecified which one they are thinking of and which way to "bend" it. Besides, I am not sure any guaranty will work if one does this kind of work on the iPod. It would be preferable if someone from Apple would take responsibility and mention what has to be done or if there will be a recall of the items with a modified system.

4thGen Ipod Touch won't play photo slideshow or videos to TV - sound is ok

I can only get sound through the tv - no slideshow photos or video. connection is through a new Apple dock and an apple composite cable. I have checked the tv setting is correct and that the cable etc is not faulty using my old ipod classic, which plays both perfectly. I have set TV Out to Widescreen and PAL (I am in Australia) and gone through the online and hard copy users guides. Help! And thanks in advance.

IPod touch won't play ANY music, only skips. All music plays when FROM ipod when plugged into iTunes. No, songs are not corrupt, I was playing an album through iTunes from my iPod and for no reason iTunes froze and now I'm having issues with my iPod.

So I was playing an album from my iPod through iTunes like normal, and the album ended. I switched to iTunes view to change to a new one and it said "iPod is done syncing" (I did not choose to sync, nor did anything appear different). I tried to click on a song to play and iTunes froze. I had to restart iTunes and when I ejected my iPod (properly) the syncing sign was still turning on my iPod. As of now my iPod only skips through every song I try to play, but when I plug it into iTunes every song FROM my iPod plays perfectly.
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. Everything was working fine before when it decided to do this with very little effort, therefore I would like it fixed with very little effort.
I have tried resycing my iPod multiple times (every time I eject it from iTunes it appears to do so properly [iPod icon goes away] but the syncing icon still appears on my iPod).
I have almost 58 GB of music on my iPod so I'm not interested in starting from scratch. Also a good portion of my music is on a computer I don't have access to anymore so that's out of the question. Since the music seems to be uncorrupted (still plays from iPod in iTunes) I want a way to fix this iPod issue without having to erase anything.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.
