In an iPod Nano 6 songs will not play in A-Z order.

I have over 100 songs in one playlist.  This concerns an iPod Nano 6.  The songs are in alphabetical order on my Nano.  The songs will not play in alphabetical order and skips around.  How can I corredt this problem?

It's not a "problem," if the iPod is set to shuffle.  On page 21 of the 6th gen nano's manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1551/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Gu ide.pdf
find the shuffle button on the Now Playing screen (it looks like two arrows crossing).  Tap it to toggle between shuffling the current song list and playing it in order.

  • IPod Nano 6 will not play all my songs.

    When I tap on songs, it shows them all in alphabetical order.  This is what I want.  When I tap on the first song which is in the letter A, I expect it to go through the entire alphabet.  It does not.  Some songs just repeat, instead of going through the entire alphabet.  All the songs on my iPod are also in the iTunes library.  As suggested by your Telephone Support, I put all the songs in 1 playlist, but this did  not solve my problem.

    Then back it up and do a restore.  If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • My ipod is not showing up in the left hand column on itunes. I have tried the trouble shooting methods but nothing is working. My ipod nano also will not play.

    My ipod nano is not showing up in the left hand column of itunes. It says connected on the ipod and I can find it in my computer but its not there on itunes. I need it as I want to restore it to factory settings. I have tried the troubleshooting methods that are on the Apple website but no luck.
    Also my ipod is not playing. I found a way to upload all my music to my new computer. I followed a guide given to me on wiki and it worked. However, since then I cannot get the ipod to play. The menu is there, it turns on, all the playlists are visable but when I press play it does nothing or flicks briefly on to the page to play but then flicks back to the list again. I have tried all the troubleshooting on the Apple website but again nothing. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but to do this you have to be able to access the ipod in the left column on itunes which obviously I can't do. That was happening before the ipod stopped working. The two issues are separate.
    Thanks and hope you can help me.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

  • I purchased a song from the itunes store and down loaded it to my ipod. The song will not play. I attempted to listen to it on my computer and itunes asked me to authorize my computer. I did so and it told me I authorized one out of five computers .

    I purchased a song from the itunes store and downloaded it to my ipod and it will not play what happens now?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 6.0 now songs will not play

    I upgraded to iTunes 6.0, now when I go to play a song the run time shows up as a negative number and the song will not play. I reinstalled the software several times and reauthorized the computer. Does anyone have a solutions to this problem?

    I should add that every time I remove the iPod from my computer to try and see if any of the songs are back it asks me for a language just like the first time you start it up. Kinda like it forgets everytime I plug it into the computer.

    Since Nov update about a third of my songs have a circle with an exclamation mark inside the circle. These songs will not play on my computer. Message says  "The song .... could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I have reloaded these back onto itunes with my own CD collection. They work for a short while, then the same thing happens. I don't  know what is causing this or how to fix it.

    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!!

  • Help.  Songs will not play!!!

    My origional computers hard drive crashed and is no longer able to turn on.  So I have a few thousand songs with a ! infront of them on Itunes, and as we all know these songs will not play.  If I buy Match, will these songs with ! be converted and be able to be used again?

    This is definately a firmware problem.
    I have a 80gb ipod that does the same and narrowed the problem down to taking the headphones out and plugging them or another set in. It doesn't happen every time but happens often enough when you use it everyday like me. Like you I have a headphone jack for my car.
    I replaced the ipod at the apple service centre after finally being able to replicate the problem for them to see. Unfortunately my new one does exactly the same.
    The only ways around it are -
    Do a reset
    or
    Hold down play so that it turns off. Unplug the headphones. Press play without the headphones in. The track will start playing. Plug the headphones back in.
    Apple need to look into this problem as there are a fair number of people experiencing it.

  • HT1933 iTunes downloaded song will NOT play

    Why can I view the song on the playlist (on both iPod and Powerbook) and yet the song will not play on either? It is NOT listed as having been interrupted as a download and the rest of the album plays without incident.

    Sounds like a faulty file. Delete it and redownload a fresh one at no extra cost
    Goto iTunes Store
    Select Purchased from under Quick Links to the right
    Navigat to the music you want and click on the cloud button to re download.
    If it came from a cd then reimport it.
    If it came from another source then they will give you instructions on how to redownload if you can

  • Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    You will need to go into your Files and locate the song.  By default, iTunes saves songs in the iTunes Media Folder which can be found in the following locations:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
    If you locate your song file, when you try to play it in iTunes, you will be given an option to locate.  Navigate to the file in the pop up window and iTunes will re-path the file location.
    Most people encounter this issue when moving to a new computer or if you have your music saved on an external drive or folder that you have since moved or removed.  The imperative part is finding the song so you can re-map it.
