I pod keeps changing songs

My i pod nano keeps changing the songs itself, if i click forward it will forward 3 songs forward. If not it will just keep changing the songs itself.
Does anyone know whats wrong with it? Or will i have to send it back to Apple.
i pod nano Windows XP

a reset does not fix the problem, at least, it did not for me.
Mine is currently fixed, we'll see how long it last for.
Run your Ipod Updater, do the update only first. After you are done, SAFELY REMOVE the ipod from your computer, see if that works.
Assuming that it will fail, run the IPOD updater again, this time, RESTORE the ipod. It should be hooked up while this process is going on of course. When you are done, SAFELY REMOVE the ipod again, see if this works.
After I did the restore, it renamed, my ipod to "IPOD." Initially it did not work, in fact the "IPOD" never showed up in Itunes software. We ran the RESTORE again and it seemed to have been "frozen."
After the lady talked to product support she suggested we try one more time and if that failed, take it back (it's 1 day old!).
Before I did this, I unplugged, SAFELY the IPOD and plugged it back in. It is then when "IPOD" showed up. And in fact after I SAFELY removed the ipod the songs did not skip any longer.
1. RUN the updater, 2006-06-28. Download from apple if you do not have that updated.
2. Run the normal update first, I highly doubt this will work.
3. Run the RESTORE.
Always remember to SAFELY remove the hardware after each attempt, it needs to be refreshed and started anew.
If you have any questions, I can attempt to help you. I am not an Apple tech, nor a wise ol IPOD user, but my ipod is now working, and yours is not, =). Just messing around.

Does the iPod nano keep changing songs if I keep it in my pocket?

I'm not going to be running or gymming with the iPod nano in my pocket. It is mostly for home use. I just wanted to know that since there is no HOLD/LOCK button, it may keep changing songs if put in a tight pocket while walking or travelling. Is that the case?
Also, should I buy it for home use? (With the occasional outdoor trip? Or do you think I just stick to my laptop)

If you have Shake to Shuffle turned off and you push the sleep button it shouldn't change songs in your pocket. Mine doesn't.

My ipod keeps changing songs

When I turn my ipod on, it just keeps changing the songs and i can't stoop it from doing it i'll press play to play the song and it just changes to the next one and the next one and so on. How do i stop this from happening and what's wrong with it? Is it something i'm doing wrong?

Go to SETTINGS - IPOD - and turn off "Shake to Shuffle"...

ITunes on MBP keeps altering song information without my inputing any changes

It seems several people are having this problem, as far as I can tell from other blogs and discussion boards, but I have yet to find an answer that corrects the issue permanently. iTunes (v. 11.3 (54)) on my MBP mid-2012 13" (running OS X Mavericks, v. 10.9.4) model keeps changing the genre of my songs. I have, in the past, organized songs according to genres as I liked and have not had problems until about 3 months ago. I have tried several fixes but it I cannot find one that keeps iTunes from making the changes on its own without my input in the song information. All I have to do to change the song back is simply "play" it. When I do iTunes reverts the song's information back to where it should be and places it within that genre. Then the next time I reopen iTunes it has changed all the songs again. If anyone has a fix please post here or link me to one that has worked for you. This issue has also started to change some album and artist information. One fix I found that worked only temporarily (until I turned my MacBook back on) was going to Preferences >> Advanced and unchecking the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized." Worked for a day and then reverted back to the same problem.

Yes, others are seeing this. Something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.

Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:

Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

When I run with my iPhone4, the music just keeps skipping to the next song. I'll start my music, start running, and then the songs keep changing so I can never hear a song. Songs are from iTunes and doesn't happen on iPod. HELP?

Songs in itunes keep changing information.

It generally happens after I play them, they'll revert back to their original info. It tends to be MP3s downloaded from Vuze, but it is happening to a few AAC files too (including ones from CDs). I've tried converting ID3 tags but they keep changing back, tried changing the info in windows explorer but still seems to change back. There's one album that I've changed enough times that it has stayed the same, could it be a case of doing that (seems incredibly long winded. It's taken me long enough to get through half the tracks let alone think of doing them all several times over). If anyone could suggest anything that would be awesome, thanks.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time.

My iTunes Match still has not finished after 3 1/2 days and step 3's total number keeps changing, Why?

So I finally broke down and subscribled to iTunes Match just to see how it is and if it would be worth it to me. well right now im about to wig out because its been 4 days and i still have not gotten past step 3 on the proccesing...now to itunes match's defense, or iMatch as ive seen it called, i do have an emense itunes library of movies, tv shows, podcas, ringtones, and music (somewhere around 15,000 total) so I knew it would take a while, but 3 days?! And thats not even the problem, thats just a little grip I have cuz now I can't access my music on my iphone almost everything is greyed out.... i gould a back door to it where if i shuffle the album and skip to the song i want then that will work BUT! thats too much of a hassl!
Ok enough ******** cuz ima sit here just to see how long it takes and report back. Now for the real question.... I want to know that in all this waiting why does step 3 where it uploads artwork and remaining songs total number keep changing, i.e. :
this is the screen ive seen for the last 3 full days, and the total items uploaded keeps changing yesturday it said 1500 of 7000
so is it updating the number as it uploads them or what? It's confusing but im trying to give it a chance.

*Update*
ok so day 4-5 and im still not finished with the inital iMatch process.... BUT i found out that nothing was wrong its just taking for freakin ever. oh well at least i only got 1000 more to go....

Itunes resets dock and wallpaper everytime i change songs with keyboard

hey everyone, im having a problem with this new update. ok itunes works fine and everything but when i change songs in the application, or on the keyboard, the dock and my desktop reloads. when i mean by reloading the dock disappears and raises up, my wallpaper does the same

Silly question: WHY are you deleting music from the
iTunes library? Can't you just let the library
grow?
Not silly at all. Over the years I have undertaken the gargantuan task of converting my entire CD collection to mp3. It's a huge collection and a massive set of mp3s. More than I care to keep on my PC hard drive. So, from time to time I move some from external hard disk storage onto my PC's hard drive. So, I don't really want the library to grow as much as I want it to be fluid. But I don't necessarily want to remove ALL the songs currently on my mp3 player when I add new ones. Other mp3 players I have owned were a little more flexible in this regard. Heck, even the $50 Disney mp3 player I just bought my 7 year old for Christmas is more flexible than the Shuffle.
You should ONLY have to add the deleted songs back
to the library AND Shuffle... I suggest you think
about trading up to a Nano which functions more like
you would like the Shuffle to do.
Naah, too many mp3 thingies in the house now as it is. I'll just have to learn to adapt.

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?

Ipod touch keeps changing new album artwork

Why can't I change song info for a song I have downloaded from i-tunes in i-tunes 11?

I bought it, it should be mine to change the name of it if I please. I like to keep single songs together in album made up of my creation and apple have taken that away from me.

I have the same problem. When I click "Get info", everything is grayed out and I'm unable to change track names, artist names, album names, or anything at all. I have iTunes Match if that matters.
What's going on?

Library keeps losing songs

This question has been asked before, but I've never seen an answer to it. My iTunes library keeps "losing" songs - I get the exclamation point and it tells me it can't find the song. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it; the songs are where they always have been, no names or locations have been changed. I've had songs I just added to the library disappear the very next time I open iTunes. I have my iPod set to "Manually Manage Music" so at least I'm not terrified every time I plug it in that I'm going to lose my music, but it's very annoying to keep having to find the same tunes over and over...Does ANYBODY know why this happens?

Unbelievable.
I have the same problem. Well, the songs are not really lost, but iTunes just gets confused about the correct path to the file. This may be related to handling of names. E.g., I have two folders for the B52's in my iTunes libraries, one is "The B52's", the other just "B52's". Maybe I even have a 3rd one, "B52's, The". Or an album appears twice, once in the folder "Compilations" and once in the folder "Various artists". The missing files are ever in one of these multiple locations. But iTune seems to use a wrong one. And there is no easy way to fix it. It needs to be done manually, song by song and takes easly 30..60 seconds per song. Blurp!
I have upgraded to the new iTunes version, yesterday. And got a few 100 songs declares as "missing".
To find out if you have any missing songs, just select all songs in your library via CTRL-A and press CTRL-I afterwards, then OK. All "missing" songs will get marked by an exclamarion mark .
This is a serious issue. I can't believe that it is ignored by Apple. Sorry, Apple, your stuff costs some extra money. I expect it to work. But iTunes - obviously! - doesn't.
Just unbelievable.

My ipod wont change song manually or the volume cant be changed even though ive tried double clicking on the earplugs

hmmmm. let's quickly check on this to begin with:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
... but if no joy with that, this resource might be useful:

Status keeps changing from invisible to online: why the issue is ignored?

There is a serious issue raised in the parallel thread, which is critical for many people: "Status keeps changing from invisible to online" (initiated on ‎16-11-2014 by b.agne, Mac section). In short, when starting using a device, the Skype status changing from "invisible" to "online" - sometimes just for a moment, though enough for others to notice you. These affects very much any type of devices. I am sure the issue has already led to multiple personal crisises and potentially financial losses due to buseness partnership issues (I came close to that myself, and now use anything but Skype for business). The question is: WHY the issue is completely ignored by Skype, Microsoft and expert comunity? Please post the solution if anybody knows how to fix the issue, or suggest how to make Microsoft to know that it should be fixed. Kind regard...

Hi, I also have the same issue. I change the status to Invisible and a later on it is already as "Online", without having even touched/opened Skype. The only way that I see this may happen is that I have the app installed on the smartphone, but before it never had this issue, but from some month ago it started. Any correction or suggestion to work around this issue? Regards
