HELP ME- ipod mini wont play songs!

i have rescently moved houses and had to load my ipod mini on to a new computer and new i tunes list. I re loaded all my music on to the new list and transfered my ipod to factory settings to wipe all my old music. But when i went transfer all of my music to my ipod everything went bad!
my ipod says it has the songs on it but when i go to play them it plays none of them and just skips them all! Also when my ipod is connected to itunes i cant play the songs that are said to be in my ipod, but all the songs in my library play perfectly! (which are the same as the ones in my ipod)
please help me im going crazy!!!

Hello Anna,
Have you any tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store? Did you authorise the new computer: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation you could also have a look here: Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod
One last thing, when your iPod is connected to iTunes and you try to play it through the computer do you get Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen? This would mean that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually</

  • Help mini wont play songs

    This is a new ipod mini i have and it will not play songs although the music is on there. Its not that sound doesnt work, i look at the ipod and the time doesnt change = doesnt play. Can someone please help me

    I am not dissing your post but you are expecting to get an immediate answer, when there are hundreds of people here who are in the same position you are. I don't see them posting every 2 hours.
    Look who's talking about lecturing, the one who told me to back off when I was trying to help you. I'm not helping nobody with that attitude. You wait for someone to show up and help you so guess what?? You are going to wait even longer now!!

  • Ipod mini wont play downloaded songs

    My ipod mini is not playing any or should i say ALL of the songs that I have bought from Itunes. It started acting up after I down loaded the new version of Itunes. Can't seem to get any help from Apple...I need to know what is wrong and how I can fix it. I mean not one song that I have purchased from the time I bought my ipod mini 3 months ago to today. HELP!!!!

    Try burning the music to a CD, then ripping it back into iTunes and loading the ripped version to your iPod. A friend of mine had the same problem.

  • IPod mini wont play iTunes songs

    I have recently downloaded 15 songs from iTunes. My iPod mini won't play them on it, but they will play will play on my computer. When I try to listen to them on the iPod it just skips over them and goes to the next song.

    I've seen more posts about skipping
    b purchased music
    on the iPod, but there does not seem to be a universal solution yet.
    Keep an eye on this Discussion

    to see if someone comes up with a fix.
    You've updated now and that was non-destructive. Alas, it didn't work.
    Before you try restoring (completely wipes your iPod clean), you should try Resetting. You might loose some information, but it's worth a try.
    Read this document:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61018
    In the bottom half you will find links to resetting and restoring.
    Try resetting a few times. If that's not successful, it's up to you trying to restore or wait until there's a fix that works.
    I can say it's not a general problem. I upgraded to iT5 (and 5.0.1), purchased music, transferred it to my 1st gen. iPod and everything works flawless.

  • Ipod mini not playing songs

    Help
    Have had Ipod mini for 18 months and since downloading latest ipod software it is being v temperamental! If you choose an album to play it will start then immediately skip through all songs to end and go back to menu. This is happening on existing albums (ie have been on for some time), new imports and strangely new imports that played 2 days ago.
    Can someone suggest anything

    Play the purchased songs once on your computer. Just go into iTunes, click on the purchased song, and hit the play button. Let it play the song(s), then exit iTunes.
    Hook your iPod up to your computer. iTunes should open automatically, as per usual, and will load the songs (if you have chosen to update automatically). Once the update is complete, try the iPod. Mine worked after doing this, thanks to the poster above.

  • Ipod mini stops playing songs when it hasnt been updated

    after a little while off the charger my ipod mini will not play my purchased songs. is there something wrong with it? do i need to get it fixed?

    hey yea my ipod mini does the same thing i dont kno
    what to do either!
    Did you see my post?
    Also, try these...
    Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
    If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
    If they still won't work...
    Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
    Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
    Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
    Play the song in that username to authorize it.
    Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
    Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

  • IPod Touch wont play songs

    OK,I know normally this wouldn't be an issue as I could just remove the songs but my computer was recently wiped of all memory so in order to keep all my current music on my iPod I've been manually syncing it. I added some songs a few days ago and they do not play at all and every time I try to play them the iPod just freezes for about a 45 seconds to a minute. Is there anyway that I could just remove the problem songs without removing everything, seeing as I cant sync my iPod to iTunes?
    Thanks a million.

    Seriously? Nobody knows anything about this? It's a really frustrating problem Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

    my ipod touch has the same problem. I restored it three times, but that can't help.

  • The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

    First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
    Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

  • MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

    MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS AND THE SOUND GOES IN AND OUT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Is the Battery level is low?
    The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
    if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
    What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
    To fix it in Windows simply run
    chkdsk drive: /R /F
    where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
    in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.
    Good luck!
