IPod 1st Gen - songs keep cycling through!

This is a brand new IPod - fresh out of the box yesterday (my husband won it at a corporate event).
This is the 3rd IPod in our home - our daughters each have a 2nd and 3rd generation. Their IPod's are working fine - I just checked!
My IPod keeps cycling through the songs ... and yet never playing them!!! One song appears on the screen for a sec, then the 2nd, then the 3rd and so on .. until it has cycled through all 189 songs ... and then stops. I know the audio is working - that isn't the issue.
Tried holding the Menu button and the centre button to restore it - but that didn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated - my daughters don't want me using their IPod's anymore!
Frustrated in Ottawa!

Resetting the iPod should fix this problem. Just hold down the menu button and the select button until you see the apple logo and then let the iPod finish cycling up. I'd reset, then sync, and then test it.

  • IPod 1st Gen (Scroll wheel) not recognized by iTunes

    iPod 1st Gen (with scroll wheel) will not connect to iTunes 12.1 on MacBookPro.  Charging when I plug it in, want to add music to it, but iTunes will not recognize it.  Anyone have any suggestions or does anyone know if this iPod is no longer supported by iTunes?

  • IPod 1st Gen Connection?

    So recently I got a iPod 1st Gen (w/ Scroll Wheel) thats 5GB. And I also got a Firewire Card for my PC. My iPod is already Windows Formatted. Anyway I'm trying to sync music to it on my PC. But its not getting recognized in Windows Explorer (not on any drive in My Computer). Whenever I connect it, it says "Ok to Disconnect" with the check and it recharges. It won't show up on my computer. Can anyone help? And yes I've already read this article entitled "iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows."

    seems it could be problem with the firewire card's driver.

  • IPod (1st gen) tries to reset but no battery!

    I have an iPod 1st Gen, and i wanted to reset it, but now everytime i turn it on it's resetting (apple logo and spinning circle) but then the battery is empty and its recharging to 1/4 and then tries to reset again. This loops forever it doesn't finish. I can't do anything because it's just resetting and then the battery is empty again and then it's gonna recharge for a while and then tries it all again, i really need help because this is happening for 2 weeks now i don't know what to do. Thanks in advance!

  • I have an iPod 2nd gen. that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?

    I have an iPod 2nd gen that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Photos from iPod 1st gen to mac?

    Hey there I just found my old iPod 1st Gen and there are endless old pictures on it and
    i tryed to get the pictures on my iPhoto but the iPod won't show up. I have backed up the iPod to be save atleast but
    is there a way to get all pictures on my Mac? Thanks

    Since the photos were likely synced to the iPod, you need a third-party program to get synced photos from an iPod to a computer. Some programs are TouchCopy and PhoneView. The free iFunBox MAY work too.

  • Ipod 5th Gen 60Gb keeps resetting and... (please read)

    Hi everyone.
    My ipod 5th gen 60Gb keeps resetting itself when plugged to the wall charger.
    Once it starts again it gives me the sad face and the "Very Low Battery" screen.
    Tried to reset it and i gets to the screen that tells me to connect to itunes for restore.
    When i do that itunes won't see my ipod.
    How can i fix it? How do i get to finally restore my ipod? Is that an hardware problem? I did replace the battery and it finally has power for hours but i still have this tooth to pull out.
    Can anybody help me please with some suggestions/solutions?
    Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you!

    I forgot to say: When i plug it it it gives me the apple for 5 - 6 seconds, the the SAD FACE with the link to the apple support page, then the "Very Low Battery" screen, then it restarts again and it does the same thing over and over again.
    I can put it in disk mode, yes it will charge but if i attempt to plug in to the USB2 port (rear) of my computer with itunes open, it doesn't get recognized.
    The hardware management of windows sees the ipod once i put it in disk mode. Then after 30 secs more or less it restarts and windows tells me the ipod device has problems.
    Help PLEASE!!
