I just added a CD to my ipod and none of the songs will play.

It just skips through all of them, but it plays fine on itunes... HELP!

Does this only happen with the tracks from this new album? What format were they ripped as? MP3/AAC? You can check by right->clicking on one of those tracks in iTunes and choose Get Info. Then under the Summary tab, look at the Kind and Bitrate fields.
Also see here for more troubleshooting suggestions.

HT203167 I just recently purchased an album on itunes and two of the songs will not play...what could be wrong?

Just purchased "of monsters and men" album and two of the songs do not play and they just skip to the next track. It shows that all songs for the album successfully downloaded....what could be wrong?!!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I just bought Apple Tv. Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv). When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

I just purchased Apple Tv 2. Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing. When i attempt to play itunes through my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits. Same goes for when I put my photos on.

My iPod nano, 6th generation, will not stop playing and none of the buttons will work

I listen to audiobooks. My iPod was fine, I just checked how far I was in this chapter. I checked again 2 minutes later and I cannot get the screen to lite up nor can I control the volume. But my book continues to play. I plugged it in to charge with a wall charger, nothing. I plugged into my computer and again nothing.
It is only 3 weeks old, I use it about between 1-3 hours a day.
Anyone else have this problem?

Have you tried resetting it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I dropped my external hard drive which contained my iTunes library and it is no longer readable. I attempted to upload my library from iPod and while all the songs appear to be in iTunes I get a message telling me that the original file can't be located.

I dropped my external hard drive that contained my iTues library and the disk is no longer readable. I figured I would simply transfer my music back from my iPod to my MacBook Pro and it loks like it worked. All the songs are there, but I receive a message that the original file can't be found when I try to play anything. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

A Couple of questions..
Is the location shown under preferences/Advanced/General still showing the correct location?
Is the check boxes under this checked or unchecked?

I synced my iPhone to iTunes and NONE of my music will play, just the purchased ones.. Why?

So I synced my phone to my laptop, transfered all 192 songs that used to be on it, went to play them and nothing. There is just this stupid red round circle with a square in the middle of it next to my music. The only ones that work are the ones that I purchased. PLEASE HELP?!?!

I bought new music on itunes for th first ime in years and the updates erased all my music from my ipod and none of the new music that I bought was downloaded...a bunch of stuff I never heard of is now on my ipod. How do I reload my library?

I went to itunes for the 1st time in years and bought music. The updates removed all the songs on my ipod and did not downlaod my purchases. Instead I have a bunch of songs I never heard of. How do I reload my library on my ipod and get rid of the terrible junk that is on there now?

Was this a different computer/iTunes library than what it you had originally sync the iPod with? If so, that would explain why all of your content that WAS on your iPod was erased, since an iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.
As for your current predicament, you'll need to figure out how your iPod is configured to sync music and then adjust it so that the stuff you don't want on it is removed during the next sync operation and the music you DO want on it will be transferred over to it from iTunes.

After updating to the latest iTunes, NONE of the movies will play on iPod

I purchased Night at the Museum Battle for the Smithsonian, and it included a digital copy, which allows for legally downloading to an iPod. I received a message that I could not put it on my iPod unless I had the latest version of iTunes.
I do not sync my iPod, I always move my files manually; I don't know if this could have anything to do with the problem. However, the movies I had on my iPod that worked previously now do not work. I can see a small graphic in the upper left corner, the title of the movie and hear the soundtrack, but that's it.

I've figured it out for myself; after upgrading, I can no longer have the TV OUT to the ON setting. I did a little hunting on the internet to get the answer.

Disabled ipod and none of the suggested fixes are working!

My daughter entered her password wrong too many times and her ipod is now disabled. I've tried all the suggested fixes on the support page and nothing is working. When I try to restore it thru itunes it says it can't because it is locked with a password. I tried to erase it thru icloud, but the ipod is offline and I don't know how to get it online. I tried to soft reset, I tried to hard reset. Nothing! Help!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine then it sometimes freezes up or start shuffling through the songs not playing at all. After i reset it works ok for a while then same thing. Bought this so i could control through my steering wheel/radio.

I sure hope someone can help me with these ipod classic 160gb issues.
My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine and then freeze up (unable to move around in it at all) and i have to reset it. This happens constantly whether in my car or when i listen at work. After i reset it works ok for a while then eventually requires another reset.
Another problem is that it will be playing fine and then start shuffling through songs without playing them. The songs that get shuffled work fine in the itunes program but not on the device. A reset does not correct the problem with these particular songs.
Also, sometimes when it is working and not freezing up or shuffling through, it will appear that a song is playing (in fact it says "now playing"), the song titlte is scrolling, but the song progression bar does not move. The count up in front of the bar stays at 0:00, and the count down at the end of the bar stays at the song length minutes not counting down. After I reset, it works fine and all the songs will play.
The reason I got this thing was because i can control it through my steering wheel/radio while i'm driving. I previously had a Zune 80gb which i'm glad I held on to. I have over 6600 songs (so I'm obviously a serious music listener and obviously frustrated), but only about 10 songs were downloaded through itunes, the rest I either ripped or downloaded from other site. From what i've been reading it sounds like there's a lot of ipod owners out there experiencing similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve these issues for me and everyone else? I got my first iphone 8 months ago, then the ipod and was considering an ipad. But in light of my ipod issues.....
I hope someone can help me and convince me it wasn't a mistake to go Apple! Thanks!!

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

I have downloaded songs and when I play them they stop playing. I have to hit the sleep/wake button for the ipod to come on and hit play, then the song will continue playing where it left off

Why are songs cutting out in the middle and my ipod shutting down?I have to hit the sleep/wake button to turn it back on and hit play again. Then, the songs will play from where it left off.

I just recently got an Itunes account for the first time and tonight I made my first purchases tonight. One of the songs will only play four seconds of the entire thing. How do I fix this?

I just purchased a song on itunes and for some reason only four seconds of the song will play. How do I fix it? This is super frustrating.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history to contact iTunes Support : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want to sync ( in the music tab) sync.
