Help! Ipod won't shuffle songs, the song cover flow disappeared!!

Anyone, please help me. I am new to Ipod. I have 8 GB Ipod Nano, bought two weeks ago. I recently purchased more songs and currently have 50 songs on my play list on my computer. So last night after I bought the songs and transfered and sync all those songs, my Ipod worked fine (I could listen to all the songs, shuffle the songs, see all the cover flow, etc). This morning, after I fed my kids, I grabbed my Ipod and started listening to my songs and it worked fine - nothings wrong, until in the middle of playing one song, all of the sudden the song stopped playing. I thought the battery had died, but when I checked, the battery was still half full. So I went back to the menu button and tried to shuffle my songs but it didn't do anything/didn't play the song. My Ipod just showed that I have 50 songs on my shuffle songs. Then I checked the song cover flow, and it showed NO pictures of the song album (before this happened, when I check the cover flow my Ipod show the pictures of music/CD albums of a singer, but now it just blank!!). I already restart the computer, unplug the USB cable, restart my Ipod, re-sync my Ipod and still it doesn't work. I can't shuffle the songs, Ipod won't play the songs (though it shows that I have 50 songs on playlist), the song cover flow disappeared! I don't know what to do. Please help!! Thank you.

Ok so do the songs play and show up ok in iTunes? Were you playing the iPod through a set of speakers and not connected to the computer?
Have you tried performing a reset on the iPod yet? Or a restore on the iPod yet?

  • My iPod won't import all the songs on iTunes

    My iPod Classic won't import all the songs in iTunes. Any ideas?

    Hello Tony,
    It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. 
    Are the songs that are transferring over iTunes purchases?  Music imported from a CD or other source that is on your iPod cannot be transferred to a computer from your iPod, but music purchased from the iTunes Store can.  You can find more information at the following link:

  • My IPod won't sync all the songs

    Yes, yes. We've all heard this before. But this is different. I'll connect my Click Whell 20G iPod to my computer, and it starts syncing the songs. But then when it gets to the last couple of songs, it stops. It says "copying 499 of 500" but nothing happens. Then, when I try to eject the iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to Force Quit. Then my iPod freezes on the "Do Not Disconnect" sign and I reset it. Then it turns back on, only to show the names of all my playlists, but no songs. No songs at all on the iPod.

    I beleive that your iPod got stuck during the update. Can you do a Restore and try again?
    Open the iPod updater, plug your iPod with your Mac and click Restore.
    If it does not work, you may need to open the disk utility, go to Tab "ERASE" and click Erase, then follow by a Restore

    i already organized my ipod songs name and all the artist.. buat it won't sync with my iPOD using OS5... i have no problem before using OS5... thank you...

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

  • HT1339 I hit shuffle but the songs are not responding to that. HELP?

    I hit shuffle but the songs are not responding? It was fine but in the last week this started to happen.

    What do you mean by "not responding"?  They do not play at all?  They play, but not in random order (shuffle)?  Is the nano able to play songs, if you play them from an album or artist listing?

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • I purchased songs via my ipod touch.  when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase?

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

    I'm going through the same thing, I've tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer and that seems to help. I haven't gotten all my songs back yet, but I've got about 75% of it back.

    Hello levon10
    Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

  • I had to restore my iPod and now none of the songs want to play.

    I had to restore my iPod and now none of the songs want to play. I press play, it goes to the song screen, then around 5 seconds pass without the song starting and then it skips to the next song where the same thing happens. And that just keeps happening over and over and over again. Also when I plug in the iPod, the pinwheel shows up on iTunes for a while and then the 13010 error message pops up but the iPod still shows up in iTunes. I'm so lost. Please help!

  • In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack.  Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
    Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones.  Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
    Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons?  Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds.  Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons.  It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation.  Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings.  If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
    Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem.  If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

    iOS 7.1 update requires approximately 350MB's of storage space.
    Tap Settings > General > About > Available to see free storage space.
    Very important to never allow the free storage space to fall below at the very least 500MB's or your iPhone may not boot.
    You need to free up storage space on your iPhone for future updates as well.

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full.  I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

    The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic. 
    Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?
