  • 6th gen iPod Nano does not play songs

    Today, for no apparent reason, my 6th gen iPod Nano has stopped playing songs. When I select a song, the Play button changes to a Pause button, just as it normally would if the song was playing, but the track does not play, and no time elapses on the song progress bar - it just remains at 0:00. If I fast forward through the song, the song progress bar remains at whatever time I advance it to. I've pressed Play/Pause repeatedly to try and get the songs to play, but nothing happens other than the Play/Pause icon toggling back and forth between playing and paused.
    This happens when I try to play any song or podcast on the iPod. It was able to play every song as recently as yesterday. All of these songs and podcasts play just fine on iTunes and on any other iPod, iPhone or iPad that I sync them to.
    I have restarted the Nano several times. I've also done a complete restore of the Nano from scratch. I've got the latest version of iTunes, and all of the other functionality works just fine on the Nano.
    Any thoughts?

    Problem appears to be solved, thanks to the downtown Portland Apple Store Genius Bar. Apparently there was some sort of conflict with the permissions for the music (even though I own all of it, and all of the media played just fine on all of my other iOS devices).
    To fix it, I went to the iTunes "Store" menu, chose "Deauthorize this computer" and followed the prompts. I then quit iTunes, restarted iTunes and double-clicked a TV show that I had purchased. This prompted me to re-authorize my computer, which I did.
    I then synced a couple of songs, and they played just fine. I restored the rest of my playlists, and I'm happy to say that everything is behaving a-ok now. Phew!

  • My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
    this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
    my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

  • New i-pod nano does not charge on JBL on stage II. WHY. previous nano did charge it's battery .

    my new I-pod nano does not charge it's battery on JBL stage II, while my old nano did. Is there anyreason for this uncomfort?

    The design of the Dock connector has changed slightly. The new iPods require a resistor between two of the pins, this allows the iPod to detect what type of accessory is detected. You can use e.g. this converter to connect the iPod to your JBL dock: http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockStubz.html

  • Ipod Nano 2GB Not Playing Songs

    When I turn my Ipod on and try to play a song, it just cycles through all of the songs and does not play any of them, I can change my settings and look through the playlists but when I try and play one it will start acting up. Can anyone help?
    1st Gen. 2 GB Ipod Nano   Windows XP  

    I believe I have remedied the situation. I took my ipod to another computer, and downloaded itunes and restored my ipod from there. And that seems to have fixed the issue. Course now I have none of my apps and only the music that I did purchase, but hopefully when I sync it with my other pc it will bring all that back, without the song skipping problem.

  • IPod Nano does not display songs after upgrading to iTunes 7.1 & SW1.3

    After installing iTunes 7.1 on my WIN machine and connecting my iPod nano iTunes asked me about upgrading my iPod's firmware. After I did this all the songs on my iPod where gone. When I connect my iPod to iTunes I see that 3,8 GIG is still in use, which should be correct, and it states it is analyzing song for "gapless playback". However, my songs don't show up in iTunes, nor on the iPod. I rebooted the firmware on the iPod (menu+select) but no results.
    a) how to get my songs back to my iPod without going thru a factory reset?
    b) how to get rid of iTunes 7 and V. 6 back?
    Thank in advance.

    Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
    Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).

  • Ipod Does not Play songs

    Ipod does not play music. Instead of playing the song, it just lists the title (like when a song is playing) and then moves to the next song without playing the song. It's as if it automatically forwards to the next song (song titles displays for every second). And this occurs in shuffle mode, and/or selecting a playlist. Need help! Ipod was purchased in this site on May 27,2006.

  • ITunes player does not play songs since upgrading to 10.5.1; not fixed with 10.5.2 upgrade. What now?

    After upgrading iTunes on my laptop to version 10.5.1, my player will NOT play any songs. My Library seems intact and no songs appear to be missing, but no song will play --not a song downloaded from iTunes Store, nor a song downloaded from a CD. I was hoping version 10.5.2 would fix this, but apparently not. Still not working. Songs do play on my iPod and on my iPhone and I can transfer songs from my laptop to my devices; I can also download Apps to my laptop through the iTunes Store, etc.--all other functions of iTunes seem to be okay, only the player is not working. (My laptop is an hp Probook with Intel i5 chip, Windows 7 Pro OS.)

  • ITunes 11.1.5.5 on my Windows 7 PC does not play songs

    After upgrading this version, the iTunes player bar graph does not move when I click the play arrow. Any ideas, please share.

    Hello Raag Thaal,
    I would be concerned too if my music didn't playback in iTunes.  I found an article that specifically addresses issues with the music not playing and the playhead not progressing in iTunes.  I recommend following the steps in the article below:

  • IPod touch does not play songs in 2012 BMW iDrive

    My iPod touch cannot play songs in BMW iDrive.  It is recognized as Auxillary Front, and is not recognized as USB connection via Y-cable.  The song stops playing after 5-10 seconds.  However, my iPad and friend's iPod Nano works.  Any idea?

    What model iPod and iOS do you have?
    When it plays with the iPod are y using the same connection?
    Does BMW's site say that it works with your model iPod and iOS?
    have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Sometimes itunes does not play songs

    From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
    a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
    is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
    Additionally, it won't play any other song.
    When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
    of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
    the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
    When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
    library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
    I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
    with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
    and still persists.
    I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
    no change.
    Does anybody experience similar problems?
    This is really frustrating!
    Thanks,

    Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

  • Nano does not skip songs marked in iTunes to "Skip when Shuffle"

    When I am listening to my music in shuffle mode on my nano, why does my nano not skip the songs that I have marked to "Skip when Shuffling" in iTunes?

    I'm shuffling the whole library on my nano. I have confirmed that the songs that I marked to be skipped are still marked as "skip when shuffling" in iTunes after the nano played them

  • IPod does not play songs in order - iPod Shuffle 1GB

    When I drag songs to the iPod it adds them to the end of the list and then I sort by song name. When I play them on the iPod they are played at the end. When I hook up the iPod they are listed in the right order but that's not how they are played.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it?
    Thanks in advance.
