HT1430 my touch ipod will not change songs auto

My ipod touch will not change songs auto, I have to change song each time I want a different song?

The Repeat icon/control is the arrowed racetrack on the left side under the scrubber bar.. Tap to change. It is white for no repeat.

My ipod will not change plane, horizontal to vertical, vice versa

My iPod Touch 4 will not change plane, horizontal/vertical when it is flipped or shaken. It just stays in the upright position.

Make sure the orientation lock has not been enabled. Double click the home button and swipe your finger to the right. You should see an arrow forming a circle. If there is a padlock inside of it, tap it once to disable the orientation lock.
Any luck there?

My Ipod touch will not change songs or shuffle

My I pod touch will not change or shuffle songs. Everything else seems to be working correctly. Any suggestions?

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.

New iPod will not sync song ratings with iTunes

A few months ago I bought an iPhone (my first Apple MP3 player) and loaded it up with some music and everything worked fine between it and iTunes. I would rate some songs on the iPhone and synced it up with iTunes and it transferred those song ratings over with no problems.
I later got rid of the iPhone and bought an iPod 4GB Nano and loaded it up with music but when I rated some songs and synced it up with iTunes it would not transfer the ratings over. It would transfer over the ratings fine from iTunes to the iPod but not the other way around. I removed and reinstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes folder within the My Music folder on my computer and reloaded iTunes and imported all my music again. Restored and reset my iPod and tried again, it still will not transfer over the song ratings from iPod to iTunes.
So I figured I got a screwed up iPod (it was a refurb) and decided to go ahead and upgrade. Bought a brand new iPod 8GB Nano and the same thing is happening again. Although it's not absolutely critical to be able to rate songs it helps in getting my music library sorted in deciding what to keep or not.
Any idea what to do short of reinstalling Vista or moving my music library over to another computer to sync with?

Hi, I just sorted out this problem for my ipod touch. Jose9550 and Chris in CA did not explain very well how it is to be sorted - their posts helped me but iI sort of discovered it by accident. My main problem was that the ipod did not update itunes with my track ratings made direct with the touch screen whilst listening to tracks.
Here is how I found out how to sort it:
Step 1: Click on the option in the summary screen to manually manage the music on you Ipod. Back up any tracks/playlists that you don't want to lose.
Step 2: Create a few playlists with music that you want on Ipod
Step 3: Click on your Ipod name in Itunes side bar and then select the Music tab on the main panel on the right. Now click on the check box "Sync Music". This will bring up a prompt that all your music /playlists currently on the Ipod may be erased. Accept this message and then click on check box "Selected playlists". Now pick the playlists/playfolders you want synced. Click apply.
Step 4: Go into the menu bar in itunes and select Edit>Preferences>Devices> and uncheck box beside "Disable Automatic syncing for IPhones and IPods"
Now any changes made to the playlists/tracks etc on the desktop or IPod will be transferred in both directions.

My iPod will not play songs that I've put on it from my computer.

It plays Them on iTunes, but they will not play on my iPod.
It selects the songs, and brings up the screen, and the icon is on play, but the songs do not play.
They're not songs I bought, it's some that I put on my iPod manually from the music I had on my computer.
I've restored it, and tried again, but I don't know why that didn't work.
Please help me! I'm dying of music depravation.

Are they in a format the iPod can play?

Ipod will not update songs

I think this question is similar to a few others but I'll post it anyway. My computer crashed and when I got it back up and installed the hardware that came with my ipod nano, all my songs were erased from my library and when I plugged my ipod in it asked to make it all one library. Thinking it would put my songs off my ipod back in to my library I said yes and **** if it didn't erase all my songs from my ipod and left me with nothing for my more than $100 worth of music from itunes.
Now I cannot update any songs to my ipod from my library. What the hizzle is going on!!!??? I'm stuck with a ipod that can't get any songs on it and I haven't a clue what to do. Please help!!!
don't know Windows XP

and installed the hardware that came with my ipod nano
Do you mean the software which came with your iPod?
Now I cannot update any songs to my ipod from my library.
You couldn't do this before. iTunes is one way. Computer to iPod.
I'd say restore the library from the backup you made before your computer crashed but tha is pretty unlikely, isn't it?'
Since you already told it to delete the songs on teh iPod and replace it with your (non-existant) library on the computer, those songs are gone.
You can send an email to iTMS and see what they say.

After you get all your music back, make sure to back it up.

why I cannot update my ipod with songs from my library?
iTunes prefs -> iPod. Set it to Automatically update ALL songs and playlists.
This will put the music from your computer onto your iPod. If it's not on your computer, it will be deleted from your iPod.

Ipod Will not Sync - Songs skip wont play

Hi,
I am using windows vista 64 and ITunes 8.
Whenever I attempt to sync my music (especially LARGE play lists) iTunes will pause wait ages, even tho the ipod is already attached it will reattach itself (ie windows will ask again if I would like to use it for ready boost) then it will start to sync. Everything appears fine but the music will not play. When I attempt to play a a song it will skip around and play 1 second of the start of the song then the a bit from the middle then the start again then either crash the iPod or just skip to the next song.
- I have tried this on 4 different ipods (all 4'th gen) all of which I know work
- My music is currently being stored on a windows home server and I access it over a network.
I have reinstalled iTunes 5 times. It used to work fine with itunes 7.7 this only has happened since I upgraded, and yes I know the first release of iTunes 8 was faulty...
Any Ideas? I have been trying to sort this for 3 weeks now....

Same here. At time I will end up with a message saying ITunes cannot read the Ipdo please restore...Between those episode, the only way i have found to sync & read complete songs was to sync song by group of 3 or 4...if i try to sync larger group, i will end with song that stops on the Ipdod after 30-40 sec...This problem has occured for more then a year and Imn very tired to reload my 60G 3 songs at the time...:(

ITunes has lock symbol; iPod will not update songs from library

My iTunes has a lock symbol next to remaining space area. Also, the remaining space says that there is 1.4GB of spaced used up even though there are no songs in the iPod folder or on the iPod itself. I have tried resetting the ipod and tried to copy and paste the songs over to the ipod folder with no luck. It says "updating files" for a split second but stops and nothing is actually moved over.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
You could restore the iPod to be sure the hard drive is completely erased.

Ipod Will Not Change to my New Apple ID

On my iTunes, I changed my email address on my Apple ID. No matter how many times I try to get the new email as the email on iTunes, App Store, and Settings on the iPod itself, it always refers to my old account, with a password I can't remember and an email account that is inactive. I really want to be able to use my iPod and not just my iTunes to utilize my WiFi! Please help!

When you changed the email address it sends a verification email to your account. Did you read this and click the link? It has to be done on laptop or desktop computer, not the ios devices. Make sure you choose "Use Existing Appleid" when signing in. It would be nice knowing which appleid sign in you are having issues with. There are a few. Even just tell us what you tap on to get to the message.

Ipod will not organize songs alphabetically by artist

the Itunes has it all stored by artist. but in the past few weeks, the Ipod won't put them in alphabetically by artist. it captures the music and organizes it by when it was added to Itunes (organizes by date of download).
any help?
thanks in advance.

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) it is missing an album name.
If the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they may not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.
Also if tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in, in the absence of one you can just add None or Miscellaneous. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

IPod will not play songs purchased from itunes

my ipod will show me the album (songs, artwork, time of song, etc.) but when I press play, it just quickly skips through all the songs. So far this has only been the case with music purchased through itunes. I restored my ipod but nothing has helped thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This just happened to me on one song I purchased from iTunes (it plays fine on iTunes on my MacBook). I'm on iTunes 8.0 (haven't yet upgraded to newest version). Everything else works fine so should I do this for only one song - or is there another easier fix? I did copy the song to a cd so would it work if I just deleted the one song and imported it? Or is this a sign of a deeper problem?

Ipod will not update songs from library

I recently purchased a 60GB Ipod video. Before that, I had a 3rd generation Ipod with Itunes 4.1. Once I purchased the new Ipod, I updated my Itunes and installed the new Ipod on my PC.
When I sync the Ipod, everything appears normal at first. Then, two seconds later, the screen says Ipod update complete. Meanwhile, nothing from the library has synced to the Ipod. I have to drag and drop every song onto the Ipod. This is fine for now since I am updating every song. In the future, I can see this being a problem since I will have to remember what I loaded onto Itunes and drop it onto the Ipod. Can anyone help me figure out what needs to be done to get Itunes and Ipod to work together correctly?
I apologize for the long message, but my old Ipod worked just fine and dealing with this is very frustrating! Any help would be appreciated.

IPod will not play songs bought from iTunes more than once

None of the songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store play on my iPod. They play on my Mac, my wife's Mac and my wife's iShuffle, but not my iPod. My iPod is running the lastest software version, and i have the latest iTunes version.
If I format, reset, restore and reload my music, HOORAH!! they play...ONCE. Then I have to do that all over again if I want to play them again. The songs say they are there, they say they are taking up hdd space, but if I try to play the iPod just thinks about it for a second or two and then skips over the song.
I have never had any problem with songs ripped off my CD collection.
Apple are completely useless and offer no assistance and what i have been able to find on their website tells me to do what I've done. Does anyone have any ideas how to make my iPod compatible with the iTunes store?

Ipod will not upload songs from pc

Cannot upload music to ipod shuffle. I get an error message "error -36" What is going on? My computer recently crashed and now has been rebuilt and updated. All ipod updates are included. What do I do?

If you are having the same issues with another device you may be using the wrong or outdate drivers for the USB controller.
If it was happening with one device only, I would think it was that device. Given it is happening with more than one...
Also have your tried both the USB ports on the front and the back of the computer. Never forget the physical layers, and a loose wire between the front port and the motherboard could do it. Usually the back ports are soldered onto the motherboard and less prone to problems.
Is this a work computer on a network? What drive letters are assigned in My Computer?
