Help!!!!! ipod rests when i play certain mp3 tracks

Hi All,
Hope someone can help me. i just bought the 80g ipod Video yesterday. Everything is great except for one thing. I have some comedy shows (They are not video. It's mp3) that i downloaded onto my ipod which I also had on my 30gig. They worked perfectly on my 30 gig but on my 80 gig, it seems when i try to play them it resets the IPod automatically. It just won't play. Now, mind you.. most mp3's are either 192 bit rate or 128 but theses ones are lower. Some are 56 quality and some are just a tad higher but none the less, everytime i try and listen it just resets. But all my music seems to work just great except for these comedy mp3's. I don't understand why?? It works great with the 30 gig. Anyone have any answers to this or should I just bring it back and exchange it for another one? Thanks for your help....

is she resetting on mono mp3s, zeppelin? if so, perhaps check to see if the workaround from the following document is of any help with that:

My iPod freezes when I play certain songs

Hello,
I`ve had this problem for some time now. When I try to play certain songs on my (G1) iPod, it just freezes, and I have to reset it to make it work again. The strange thing is that this problem only occures with some of the songs, not all, and it´s the same songs every time that causes this problem.
I´ve tried full resets several times, updating the software on the iPod, and tried using both a PC and a Mac to transfer songs, with different iTunes versions, but the problem endures...
What´s even more "strange" is that even though I now use a Mac, and have imported all my songs all over again to this machine, almost the same songs that caused trouble before I changed computers are still causing trouble!
This tells me (even though I´m not a techie) that there is a HD problem on my iPod...
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

It's probally your hard drive it may be getting old and waring out.

IPod restarts when I play certain podcasts, help...

Ok so this doesn't happen with all podcasts, just my favorite one. And only then the ones that I haven't heard yet, the ones I have open up fine. The second I try to listen to a new one, it flips over to the screen like it's about to start playing, and then the screen goes dark and it restarts. I don't want to restore my iPod because I have stuff on there that's difficult for me to get again and I have restarted it, taken the new stuff off and then put them back in. Anyone know whats wrong or what I can do? Thanks.

Hi
Sorry to hear about your problems. I have a similar one. I subscribe to a series of podcasts and sometimes, for some episodes, the iPod will not play it: it will start to play it and may last up to a few minutes and then it just returns to the main screen like it has finished. This has happened with both "amateur" podcasts and very professional series as well.
Did you manage to find out what was causing your problem?

P35: Machine is hot when I play certain games

Hi all,
i have a p35 machine, 17" widescreen, p4 m 3.2 wih hyperthreading. The point is, that the machine overheats when i play certain games like warcraft.
Also, i cant read any temperatures from the machine with common tools like motherboard monitor ect ( i tried them all). Onl hdd temp is there to read. Also in the bios, no temps are listed.
I see that cooling master is comming with a new notebook cooler for laptops, hope that will help.
Does anyone know something about my problems? There is no dust in the laptop, i cleaned allready. I play games with full cooling option.
I hope to hear from u guys,
Regards

Hello guys
It is nice that you clean up your unit because on this way the unit can be cooled properly and on this way the possibility of hardware damage is on the minimum. Unfortunately there is nothing to do. You can just to reduce the graphic options of your games.
Please dont expect that mobile units can have so powerful performance like desktops.
I am pretty sure that both of you know how looks like the graphic card for desktop with this big cooling vents. Can you imagine the difference between those cards and notebook graphic card?
Sorry but the only thing that you can do is to buy a powerful desktop. On this way you will be able to play all games without any problems.
Good luck!

Need expert help - iPod Classics will not play recently downloaded songs

Sparknotes version of this question, so you don't need waste your time if you aren't interested:
-iPod Classic skipping over songs
-problem with iTunes transferring the files
-need help ASAP, we DJ with these iPods most weekends
Multiple iPod Classics are skipping over songs and will not play them. This is a recent issue and these ipods are not new - we have been using them for several years now. The playlist and the Macbook from which the playlist came are also not new. The playlist copies onto the ipod so that i can see it on the device, but after unplugging the ipod and trying to play a song the screen just gets stuck for a few seconds, with the play symbol showing in the toolbar, but then skips to another song until it can find a song it can play.
After some investigating i found that my itunes must not be properly copying the playlist - it shows up on the ipod, but when i view the ipod contents in itunes, that playlist is not there. Upon a second attempt at copying the playlist to one ipod, i found that all files still show up in the song list, some files are now playable, but not all. My husband and I are DJs and one can understand that this is quite a predicament, when all of our ipods suddenly only play certain songs.
Restarting the ipod does not solve issue. Again this is an issue with multiple iPods, so i am thinking that maybe it is an iTunes problem but i don't know where to begin trying to fix it. One thing i did notice was that when i plugged the ipods, iTunes sat in the "verifying iPod" stage for quite a while. I found some past forums that touched on this but it seems to usually be connected to updating the version of iTunes, and i have the most current version (10.6.3). This playlist was made years ago and the files should not be corrupt, at least they have worked fine in the past.

I find this concept worth considering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve
The one year limited warranty ought to see you through "early failures". I have a sneaky suspicion that extended warranties are intented to cover "random failures" before "wear out" failure becomes likely which is why such cover is often limited to 3 years, the period when it is least likely to be needed.
In your case, assuming there is no obvious physical cause that has been overlooked, it would seem to be a random failure in years 2/3. Not common, but they will happen to someone.

ITunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I play certain songs and the problem is spreading.

Ever since I downloaded iTunes 11.0.4.4 (for windows 7), the program has been crashing whenever I play certain songs and at this point the problem is spreading, more and more songs that weren't problems before. I have been through just about every troubleshooting step I could find more than once, reinstalling, safe mode, conflicting programs... if a solution out there was even vaguely related to my problem, I've probably tried it. The only modification that I've made to the program is enabling 1/2 star ratings, and I don't think that's the problem because the earlier versions of itunes worked fine with it, and I've tried temporarily moving the itunes preferences xml to make it generate a new one, and it didn't fix anything.
My library has over 14,200 tracks so I can't possibly delete and then re-add all the problem tracks to iTunes, and even if I could, I've tried doing that with a small number of specific songs already, and while it worked at first some of them have started making iTunes crash again at this point.
I understand that the problem is most likely that my library is corrupted, but I'm very wary of the solutions to that problem that I have seen because I have had to use them before more than once, and each of those times I've lost thousands of songs (last time it was 5,000 tracks) in the process and a shockingly large percentage of the tracks came back disorganized and improperly labeled (some of them as 4 letter strings of capital letters that I can't seem to identify without using shazam) and without ratings ( I have "keep iTunes files organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" in preferences checked.)
It takes a huge amount of time to redo the information for the amount of tracks I have even if you buy software to help automate it, and it would take me 5.7 days to redo all of the ratings I've done, and ratings are important to me. I've added a lot of new tracks since then and my library is still 2,000 tracks smaller than it was before i had problems last time. The solution scares me enough that I've put it with the crashing for two months now, but it's getting unmanageable. If anyone can give me a way to fix this that would leave my library intact, or at least minimize the damage, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

I found this and it worked!!!

Re: iTunes keeps crashing when I select iTunes store (Win 8) iTunes 11
Sep 26, 2013 5:43 AM (in response to Bristol1981a)
I had this exact same problem. I found a fix on another support post that worked perfectly for me. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. Then browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. My iTunes store is working fine now.
God bless!!

Doublechecking. Is the song a download from the iTunes Store or did you import it from a CD?

Creative MediaSource will not play certain MP3

I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX with a remote that I really want to be able to use. Programs such as GIRDER, WinLIRC, and uICE do not support the RM-500 remote control.
I can't figure out how to control the remote beyond editing and creating key files that send ASCII commands, but the problem with that is I cannot control programs that are not currently acti've. In other words, I cannot control winamp if I'm playing a game with my remote, which is what I want to do. The KEY files are structured as this:[KeyEvent690 etc]KeyName=whateveryouwantdisplayedNotification=- or 2 or 4KeyEventRemap=this is the important partHandleByApp=i don't know what this doesAnyway, if I set notification to -, I can send ASCII commands-- BUT these will not send to programs not currently on top. If I set notification to 2, as Creative did in their Winamp .x key file, I could control the program even if it is not on top-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE KeyEventRemaps NUMBERS SHOULD BE. I cannot find this information, and I have tested as far as I am capable of doing manually (tested numbers through 500 MANUALLY).So what I want to be able to do is use my remote to control winamp, but that is impossible. And Creative MediaSource will not play streaming audio (for God knows why...). So what I decided to do was record to an MP3 player with a third party program and play that MP3 in the Creative MediaSource software (the built-in recorder will NOT work, as I cannot structure that into a playlist nor can I play the recording media nor can I minimize the program and mute the feedback-- I can only record if I'm playing, and this doesn't work). The first problem I encountered was several programs would not output MP3s that were playable as they were being recorded, however I finally did find one. This program, 3aLab iRadio, allows the MP3 to be played back WHILE simultaneously being recorded. The only problem is that this the Creative MediaSource software will NOT play the mp3. Out of the 5 different MP3 players I tested, ONLY the Creative MediaSource software would not playback the MP3 as being written. I cannot figure this out, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I realize that Creative won't support streaming audio with their player, MediaSource, but what I like to do is listen to streaming internet radio as an item on my mp3 playlist in winamp. I wish to be able to control this with my remote, but as I cannot find ANY WAY out there to control my remote as I wish without further information, this is a dead end. My alternati've is to use the Creative software for which the remote was designed to work, but unfortunately this does not support streaming internet radio nor does it support MP3s that are being written to. This is driving me insane.
What I want to be able to do is have a playlist that I control with my remote, with the first item on the list being internet radio, the 2nd and such on down being MP3s. In winamp, this is doable, as well as in Windows Media Player, and most MP3 players out there. Since I cannot do this in Creative's software, I need a workaround alternati've. PLEASE.
So, in conclusion, is there anyone out there who can either tell me how to control my remote directly by identifying what the notification=2 keyeventremap=configuarions are, give me a program like girder however which supports the RM-500 remote, or tell me how to get MP3s that are being written to (aka incomplete) to play in the Creative MediaSource software?
Thank you very much for your time.

Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

Hi
I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.

I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

I've got a 60 gig pod and i filled up about 45 gigs, tommorrow i'm going on a year trip to South America and while i was listening to some songs today i heard an echo in the background (only with mp3's).
If anyone knows anything about this problem please help me out cos i want to get this thing working by the time i leave.

For both my problems i tried with different headphones and on itunes i hear the songs without an echo.
