My Ipod keeps skipping songs

While i was listening to my ipod (it was in my pocket) i accidentally knocked the buttons. Now when i play my songs it just skips every song. Only when i press pause it stops but when i press play it starts skipping really fast again.
I think this is something to do with the settings. I tried using the "Reset All Settings" button but it still does it. Any help someone can give me on how to stop it skipping would be great. Thanks

do these links offer any help?

Help me! ipod mini skipping songs!

i bought songs with the itunes music store and now when i try to play them on my ipod mini it just skips them! has this happened to anyone else???? or can anyone help me???? HELP!!! or is there an email address for itunes that i can email to ask them???? i've had my ipod for a little over a year (or thereabouts) and really dont want to have to replace it already!

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.

Ipod keeps skipping songs

When i want to play a certain song on my iPod, depending on the song, it'll skip it and go on to the next song. It seems to be skipping the songs i listen to the most. Is there a way I can fix this?

My Ipod Keeps Skipping tracks!! HELP!

my ipod keeps skippping songs when im playing one of my playlists!. it only plays any recently added songs and i have resest it but it doesnt do anything. Is it because i often charge it through the computer????...HELP!!....

I, too, amd having the same problem! When I have my 20GB iPod in "Shuffle Songs" mode and I hit the "next song" button, it will sometimes skip the next song, or the next two songs, or even skip 5 songs before settling on one to play -- this is getting to be really frustrating!!!

My I Touch keeps skipping songs, these songs play on my i tunes but wont play on my i touch

My I Touch keeps skipping songs that I have downloaded onto it. These songs play on my I Tunes but wont play on my I Touch. At first it was just a few new songs at first but now its getting worse. Help!

Hello all - I had the same problem with my iPod Touch - The problem with mine was that it started happening when I added new music to my iPod Touch it started skipping most of the songs when I tried playing it in my car stereo, it would only play some songs but not all (my solution) - I back tracked and deleted ALL the NEW songs that I had added recently and after deleting ALL the new songs I tested my iPod Touch and it started working normal again so the problem wasn't the iPod Touch the problem was one or more of the new songs I added was corrupted and it was causing my iPod to skip most of the songs I tried to play - Nothing I tried was helping NOTHING - All you need to do is back track to all the songs you added recently and delete them until your iPod Touch starts functioning normal again...Hope this helps it sure helped me ;-)

IPod was skipping songs. So I did a "restore". Now it won't sync

OK, my iPod was skipping songs. I'd play an album, it would try and play some songs, skip them one at a time. it was probably failing about 30% of the time.
So, I thought I'd try to "Restore" the iPod, and then sync it.
Restore worked great. It wiped out the iPod of all my music. Then when I tried to perform the sync, it gets about 250 songs into it, and then fails. iTunes says that it is still syncing, but it never gets past that point. Continually syncing forever.
I don't know what I can do here (aside of buying a new iPod -- that suggestion is not helpful, btw). Before I had an iPod that played about 2/3 of its songs. Now 95% of my songs are just gone.
Everyone says not to run Disk Utility on the thing, but I'm extremely tempted. But I'm at a total loss here. Any ideas?

Bump for the answer because I also have same case.

Ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle

ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle. HELP!!

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?

Why does the music app on my phone keep skipping songs?

My music app on my iPhone 4S keeps skipping songs. It will show the album
cover for a second then it will skip right to the next song and sometimes it will
skip multiple songs. For example, once it skipped over an entire playlist and
went to the screen at the end when it showed all of the songs in the playlist.
I have update 6.0.1 and I haven't used the music app since the last update.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Mine is 18.2Mb it gets to about 37mb tops, Try logging out of the app, remove all apps that are running in the background then shut your phone down and restart, if that does not work hold the power and home button and do a hard reset. You shouldnt loose any data at all but make sure you back up anyway before hand, its just like a forced reboot of a computer really.

The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it.

The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

My iPod just keeps skipping songs

My iPod just keeps skipping through songs and won't play anything.

It skips on my ipod directly not my computer. It would play one song then just keep skipping through and wouldn't play anymore. I figured out how to fix it though. You need to push the menu button and the circle in the middle at the same time until the apple comes onto the screen, this should reset it. It worked for mine. Thanks

My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping songs!

Please help! I have been having trouble with my ipod nano 5th generation skipping and fast forwarding songs. I have done a hard reset of the ipod nano which helped for about a day. However, the next day this problem started again. When I walk with it, it begins to skip songs, fast forward songs and act as if there is something pressing the buttons. A male voice will begin reading off songs on a playlist I'm not even on. This problem has rendered my ipod basically useless and I don't know what to do! I even locked the ipod so touching the click wheel wouldn't do anything; however, there was no success in fixing this problem. Also, I turned off the playback feature 'shake' and I feel like it still thinks that that option is on! I feel that maybe my click wheel is short circuiting. However, I am not sure. Any advice would help me! Thanks!

Since you have already tried a hard reset, perhaps you could try a full restore of the Nano in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would rule out the possiblity of data corruption or a software glitch on the device.

My iPod keeps skipping over songs?

I know they're all the right format, because they were working recently. Not too long ago, I got a few new songs and went to put them on my iPod, as usual.
When it finished syncing, I played the first song and it just skipped to the next song instantly, it kept skipping songs before it stopped on one and played it. When I hit the button to go to the next song, it did it again before stopping in another.
I've completely wiped and restored it three times, but nothing changed. I've checked the files of the songs and they're all normal - like I said, they all worked until I did a recent sync to add new music. But the files of the new songs are the same as the others. Nothing is out of the ordinary.
This was the best I could describe this, hope someone can understand and help me out.
It's quite frustrating having an iPod that won't play music.

Assuming a PC I would try:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
