Hi, certain tunes aren't playing on my iPod now - they are iTunes tunes

Hi,
I have iTunes set so I manage iPod tunes manually. Certain tunes aren't working on my iPod - yet they are working on iTunes. They are all songs I bought on iTunes.
I will select the tune on the iPod, hit play - and the iPod after a sec. will skip to the next song. Do I have to re-drag these tunes from iTunes and delete the ones on my iPod?
Thanks.

Have you tried setting it to Automatic loading? If so does it still happen?
Perhaps they were corrupted when you loaded them? eg - disconnected iPod while still loading or a power outage.
Try restoring your iPod and then try updating your iPod afresh.

Rename them back.

Imported songs and some songs bought through itunes aren't playing on my ipod?

Hey I just updated both my ipod and Itunes, and while syncing new music to my ipod touch (5th gen,) it seems half my music had gone haywire. Some of it is stuff I've bought from bandcamp, downloaded from Itunes, or uploaded from CDs. They all worked fine till I tried syncing new music. Any idea on what's going on? Is it the update? I don't think I did anything that would prevent these files from working. All imported music files are AAC or mp3 and have worked in the past.
As an added note, while looking at the music files through itunes as the ipod was supposed to be downloading them, they usually get a little loading circle, but the entire song was greyed out even though they were selected to load.
Also while trying to play pre-existing music in my ipod, it will skip and jump through songs till it lands on one that works. All the songs it skipped through will have an icon saying they are playing next to them when they are obviously not. Corrupted files? They play just fine on my computer though.

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, they aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music loaded?

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, the music files aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music transferred? I have already exported the purchased music from the iTunes library, but I have thousands of songs from my private CD collection that I had previously loaded through iTunes.

If you have already reset your Apple ID/GameCenter Password, then they no longer have access to your GameCenter account.
If they are still somehow still using your game, then contact the app developer.

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.

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

Can't Play Songs on iPod when connected to iTunes

This is a problem with my daughter's iPod, not mine (thankfully).
When she plugs her iPod into her computer, she sees the iPod icon in the iTunes Source list. But when she clicks on the iPod, ALL of the songs are grayed out and can't be played. Doesn't matter whether we look in her iPod Library or in the playlists.
All of the songs on her iPod are in iTunes, but she was hoping to delete the songs from iTunes in order to save disk space, and just play the songs on her computer thru the iPod connection.
Anyone have any idea why her iPod songs are grayed out, and more importantly, how we can fix this?
Thanks,
Steve

Resolved at home.

Yesterday everything was syncing up fine with my Ipod Nano 6th gen. Today I'm getting conflicts and my songs and audio books are completely gone from my Ipod. The message says that it can not be played on this Ipod. They played before.

I've been using my Ipod for over a year now without issue.   Today I downloaded some new audio books from Itunes and when I tried to sync up, it would not work and all of the books and music that I had on my Ipod are gone from my Ipod. They still show up in my Itunes library.   The only thing I see that is different is that now there is a "cloud" symbol next to my library content.   This makes no sense to me. Please help.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

When iPods say they are playing and they aren't

I am currently trying to get an iPod 1st Gen 1GB Nano back up and running for a friend at work. The iPod shows music is on it, iTunes sees there is music on it but it will not play anything.
When you select a track (any track) it will go to the screen to show it is playing. The play arrow appears but the track counter never advances past 0:00. It doesn't skip to the next track it just stays there. It doesn't totally lock up as you can advance through the menus. It just doesn't play music...or any audio for that matter.
Now I play tracks from the iPod on iTunes (even tracks that aren't on the computer) and they work just fine. I have completed the 5R's multiple times and nothing is fixing the issue.
I can also see by looking at the discussion boards here that this issue is not a new problem nor is it related to just the Nano. I have seen multiple topics dating as far back as late 2005 up until last week on lots of models of iPods.
The unique part of all the topics is that you never once see a working answer to fix the problem. I can't help but wonder what ever happened to the people that posted the topics. Did they just go out and buy a new unit? Did they just take it back to the store? The only thing I see is that the 5R's aren't working for lots of people and there is nothing listed to help this problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I've done the 5R's, I've done every diagnostic suggestion listed on the Apple answer documents and still can't get this thing to play a single track.
Also just to put this out there. This isn't exclusive to Windows formatting as I have tried to reset it in Mac format only to continue to have the same issue.

This is a podcast downloaded via iTunes. I have placed purchased songs, podcasts, and all sort of music ripped from my CD's etc and all fail to play.
I'll be giving the Scandisk a shot here shortly and will repost the results.
Thanks for the reply I hope you'll be able to help!

Why are certain channels not coming out of the master when they are playing?

the sound isnt coming out of the speakers, headphones or not and the bar which shows when its playing, moves in time with what should be playing. why wont it play outloud?

What is your product number?
