In Playlist, iPod skips entire Song

I used in iPod hack to change the Skin on my iPod with my PC, and I Restored it to get rid of it, now half my songs just SKIP Entirely,
*I DO NOT mean that they Skip during the song*, I Put on my playlist with several songs in it, and it skips to the only song that works, and *No other songs play*.
MANY points to whoever solves this,

I signed up to find out the answer to the same question. I got the exact same problem. 3 or 4 songs of a given purchased album will play, the others are just skipped as if they weren't there...though I see the album and title for a split second before the ipod finds the song that it can play.
this *****!!!! @#$@%@%#@#$

Ipod skips entire song

so, i charged my ipod and downloaded a couple songs and sync'd them to my ipod. well, the next time i started my ipod, i would listen to one song and then as it went to the next, it would skip four or five or even more songs, then play the sixth song. i have never had any problems with my ipod before this and i have never had to restore it before. i am afraid to restore and lose music or something like that. any advice?
thanks in advance, i appreciate it all!

Ipod displays wrong album art & skips entire songs since updating to 1.2

I recently got the new itunes update and the ipod update 1.2, and ever since that it has been skipping entire batches of songs and shows wrong album art for the songs that DO play. I have a 30 Gig Video
Windows XP

Try this: Open itunes> plug in your ipod> select your ipod icon> click the music tab> uncheck the box that says display alblum artwork (unless its already unchecked)> click apply> check the same box again> click apply. If all else fails you can restore your ipod and the artwork will come with it.

NEW "Ipod skipping certain songs" Post... Little help Apple!!!

I've been putting this off for a while, but I finally lost it the other night and almost threw my ipod out the window... upon further investigation I found a post on page 2 with 4500 views about this issue with still no resolution. My new ipod 80G skips certain songs at the beggining, middle, end, and probably without me even knowing. At first I thought this was a CD problem, but all the songs play fine from my Itunes library, then I bought $50 worth of songs (gift certificate, apple WILL NOT see any of my $$$ until this is fixed) and about half of my newly purchased songs played the whole way through (but they do in itunes). Reset 3 times, software update yes, different USB port yes, in fact I have done everything but restore because I dont want to put up with backing up (again) and "re-synching" 8,000 songs. I have synched about 12 times since with no progress what so ever. Whats the Deal???????????
Is there an answer to this problem out there? There are too many of us suffering from this for it to be ignored. It really ***** on live albums (which account for 50% of my library) and its irresponsible and downright unacceptable for it to be happening on my purchased songs. Thanks in adavance for your help and PLEASE feel free to voice your aggrivation here. Lets not only get 4500 views, but 4500 complaints!!

No, the backlight-always-on thing does not work.
I believe the problem is in disk management. I use DiskWarrior to graph my drive where I store my music, and it shows me that I have less than 1% of files out of order (which I assume means fragmented). The iPod, however, tends to have more fragmentation. When I optimize the drive and restore the iPod, the problem of skipping goes away with some songs. I've tracked this by putting the broken songs into a playlist. At one point, I optimized my music drive and restored the iPod and then played through the playlist of broken songs. Three of 31 songs were still broken, just as before. And I continue to encounter broken songs as I continue to listen to my entire collection -- a months-long process.
My old iPod (2nd generation) never had this problem, but it died after 5.5 years at the end of 2008. It would be nice if Apple would look at the software/firmware on the iPod Classic and fix the bug.
I plan to identify all of my broken songs and encode new copies of them, but I suspect that even if I always optimize my music storage drive before adding new music (I can never get the fragmentation down to 0%), I'll still have at least a few songs that will fail to play all of the way through the end unless Apple fixes the problem.

My iPod skips certain songs- ive tried the 5 r's and i have iTunes 8

I woke up this morning and started listing to my iPod and found that it skips certain songs. about 150 (more or less) of the 500 that i have downloaded. I just dont know what's wrong with it. The songs play fine on my iTunes but as soon as I try to listen to it on my nano it skips to the next song and acts like the song doesnt excist.
I have tried the five r's, I have the most updated model of iTunes (unless im mistaken and there is an iTunes 9).
I reset all of the settings both on my ipod and on the computer- which did nothing.
I read the manuals and looked at the error reports but there is nothing that explains this at all. that I've found...
whats weird is that the songs that are being skipped were all purchased from the iTunes store. I've read a few posts about simialar occurances but nothing exactly like this. I've had my iPod for three years (if that helps)

IPod skipping iTMS songs - but only one account

Hi,
I'm not sure what my iPod is exactly. It's a 40GB mono screen iPod, about five years old. I thought that made it a 'classic' but perhaps not... anyway.
Since I updated iTunes last, the update deauthorised my accounts on my MacBook. One of these was my current account and I've got that up and running again fine. The second one was an old account from when I was on AOL which the nice Apple people kindly helped me convert into an Apple ID account and that, too, is now running again on my MacBook.
The weird thing is that that account won't play on my iPod. It just skips through all those songs.
It will however play them if I connect my iPod to my MacBook and play through the MacBook speakers. I've tried authorising it but it says my accounts are already authorised and anyway, I don't think that's quite how you do it on an iPod.
I'm sure it's something fairly simple but it's getting frustrating now.
I have tried doing a hard reset on the iPod, holding down Menu and the centre button but it still skips through songs on this one account.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Roaming: Heck! I think you are right. I'm not at home right now to check so I think I can check on that only through itunes. But, as I now recall, this happened to me before. These are all Christmas songs and I set them to skip after Christmas so "by artist" they are not included. The 158 are tracks added since last year and I forgot to set. Ugh!
Thanks for the tip and I'll update tonight once I confirm.

Ipod skips over songs

my ipod mini skips over songs when i select them to play. This doesnt happen all the time but it seems to happen about have way threw the battery life. I also have to press the selecdt button to turnn it on or else it wont come on.
What should i do?

I had this problem with my ipod and it was annoying. I can help. Go to your I-Tunes and go to your ipod. Next click the ADVANCED button from your toollbar. The click de-authorize ipod then you will have to go through a bunch of steps like entering your password. Then after it is all done eject your ipod (hint:after you've clicked de-authorize/authorize ipod a window will pop up and you will have two choices i forget them but click the second one). After you are done your ipod will be fixed and ready to go! Its an annoying but fixable problem. Enjoy your ipod.

Ipod skips purchased songs

my ipod keeps skipping the songs i purchased on itunes, i've tried everthing but it wont work, help

I had no such problems until i received a replacement ipod for mine that developed a fault its absolutely rediculous as this keeps happening even after resetting and de authorising. Gradually this happened more and more regularly SO I HAVE GIVEN UP USING THE IPOD NOW.
Interestingly if you have one that is in warranty and bought in the uk i would return it as it is clearly not fit for the purpose it was purchased as it is marketed with itunes. Incidentaly you will probably get no help from apple.

Shuffle playlist will skip every song in the playlist.

If shuffle is checked before attempting to play a song, the whole playlist will be skipped, song by song, although the list does re-arrange itself as a shuffle playlist. If I play a song and then check shuffle, the song will continue to play thorough, but all subsequent songs will be skipped. It will play the last possible song when that point is reached. I have not found a single comment about this particular problem online, and I have been searching for days. I am using a Mac mini as a music server and running OS 10.6.8. The version of iTunes on that computer is 10.5.2. I have no plans to update iTunes on this computer. I have repaired permissions and run DiskWarrior. No songs have "skip shuffle" checked.
I also have a new iMac running Mavericks with iTunes 12.0.1, and playlists have no problem shuffling on that machine, nor do they have problems on my iPhone, iPad or iPod.

Ginger,
Make sure that all the songs have a checkmark. iTunes will not automatically advance to an unchecked song.
If you do not see the checkboxes, go to Preferences > General and enable Show List Checkboxes.

My iPod skips during songs and is very delayed. I did the restore option multiple times but my problem persists. Help!

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and therefore I can not download the new software. I did the restore option multiple times and my iPod still skips in the middle of songs, suddenly takes me out of a playlist, and is extrememly delayed. Anyway I could fix this?

If you already restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.

IPod skips mid-song

I have had this problem with just about every iPod I have had (5gb gen.2, 15gb gen.3, 40gb gen.4 and now 60gb gen.5). I will be listening to music and half way through a song it will jump to the next song ~ a bit annoying. Anyone else have this probelm and know why?

Hi Deb,
There seems to be a problem with the 5th Gen Ipod with skipping songs.
I am experiencing it.
Dont worry about the Dhead that wrote earlier, he does not know what he is talking about.
I have 2 x 5th Gen Ipods and both are doing it.
While my 2 x 4th 40GB Ipods are working fine! both are using the same iTunes and same song files, so it cant be the song files nor itunes otherwise I would experience it with my 40GB 4th Gen's.
Apple needs to have this resolved!
Hopefully they will bring out a update shortly, til then we have to wait.
Ps - The 2 x 5th Gens were sent back and replaced and the replacements are doing it so it must be a fault with ALL 5th Gens

Skipping entire songs, not on shuffle, shake to shuffle turned off

When playing albums, two to three songs are skipped every time. It's not on shuffle, and shake to shuffle is off. It does this all the time, with no headphones or speakers or anything. I recently got a JBL Micro II speaker dick thing, maybe that screwed it up? It's the only thing I can think of. Either way, it's unacceptable for this to be happening, so how do I fix it?

I am getting the same thing, but it just skips the entire first track every time. i can get the track to play if I select it from songs, but not if I select the album!! The only way to listen to an entire album is for me to check the first track, select it from songs, and then let the album continue. It sorted itself for a while, but has returned since my last iOS upgrade, so I hope they do anothet upgrade soon!

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

Ipod skips last parts of some songs

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2 from 7.0.1 for windows. On certain songs I play on my iPod, the last few seconds, or even about 20 - 30 seconds will not play. The iPod will freeze and then the remaining time of the song will skip straight from 20 - 30 seconds to about 1 or 2, then pauses and the next song in the playlist starts. I have played these affected files in iTunes and the song plays to completion. Also, the tracks are not checked as part of a gapless album and the start and finish times are also not checked. Please advise me on what to do as it is getting very frustrating. I have tried resetting the iPod, and also restoring it and syncing my entire library twice. I do not want to do this again as it takes hours as my library is quite large!

I have the same problem on my shuffle and my 60gb iPod. It skips on song, pauses in the middle of videos, tv shows and movies. I returned to Apple, but they found no problem. I have restored both iPod and NOTHING!!! I wish someone would find out how to fix this. It is driving me completely nuts!!!!

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.
