Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle Feature Not Working...

I have a new Ipod Shuffle 4th Gen and I have a many playlists which appear to be working except for one. I have one playlist called "jogging" which the Ipod voiceover speaks when pressing the button. However, when I select it, the track will not play. This particular song/track is 1 hour and 3 mins and is a collage of songs. Is there some reason the shuffle will not play it? It's an M4A file and Itunes says it's synched with the shuffle. When you select that playlist, it starts playing a song in a different playlist like it doesn't exist.

ps. Other playlist selections give one beep. When I select the playlist with the 1 hour file, I get two beeps.

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
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.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1369 Since I have connected by iphone 5s to my computer my 4th gen shuffle is not appearing in itunes when it is connected. It doesn't seem to be a USB issue as the ipod is charging when it is connected to the PC.

Since connecting my new 5s my 4th gen shuffle is not recognised by itunes.
The device is not appearing in 'my computer' but is receiving power as it is charging.
I never had this issue with my 4s.
I have tried the troubleshooting with no success.
If anyone has any suggestions on what settings I need to change or what I need to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also see these (if you haven't found them already):
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes

IPod 4th gen grayscale will not detect usb connection.

Hello everyone, I have a iPod 4th gen grayscale and I'm running Ubuntu, everything has worked well for about a year now, I have been syncing my iPod through VirtualBox with Windows XP for as long as I have been using Linux, though, for some reason, my iPod has stopped noticing my usb being connected, I know it's not the usb cable, or the usb ports, I have restarted my iPod and put it into disk mode, still no luck, restarted my computer, Linux will not detect anything plugged in, nor will Windows, though my iPod shows the battery charging when plugged in, but iTunes will not detect the iPod.
I have switched the hard drive of the iPod out seeing if that was the problem, still no luck, my car dock will pick up the iPod and play music, so will my other docks, I thought it might of been Linux at first, so I plugged it into my desktop with Vista, it also will not detect it.
Does anyone have an answer to this riddle?

A bad USB hub will cause the problem ... are you using it ??

My 4th gen shuffle does not play more then one type of podcast It will only play this american life even if I have the moth on it. It play what ever is first on the list

My 4th gen shuffle only plays the first category of podcast and will not go to the next category, it will only repeat. Example:it will play all pod casts of this american life(first on the list) and not got to the moth (second category on the list). It does not work like my old shuffle.

if you make a playlist and load the podcasts in the order you want to listen to them, it will work. In effect you are double syncing. I had the same problem and got it to work

Trying to upload to youtube a 16:9 video through my ipod touch 4th gen and its not working.

Hey i have managed to download the Imovie for the Ipod touch 4th Gen, I can't seem to export or upload to youtube a 16:9 screen just a very thin screen. I don't have a apple mac, I have windows vista. I realise for some features you have to use a apple mac. So is there anyway that I can fix this problem, thank you for your time and patience.

See:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

Kenwood X991 & iP200 cable with iPod 5th Gen 80GB does NOT work correctly

I have a conundrum. My wife has the 4th Gen v1.2.1 iPod 30GB which works fine on my Kenwood X991 Head Unit. I recently purchased the "new" 80GB iPod 5th Gen with the latest version "1.0.2" which does NOT work properly. The iTunes software tells me that this 1.0.2 is the latest software.
When I attach my iPod to my stereo, it states "Reading" for eternity. It DOES play music but only plays Alphabetical Order ONLY. There is no ability to stop, change, fast-forward, reverse, etc....the only thing you can do is click "Source" to change to CD Player or Tuner, etc...
Does anybody out there know what is going on? I have a request into Kenwood as well. Thanks in advance for all your help!
-Kingofbytes

Thanks for the help. It's an iPod Classic then 80GB. The unit plays when plugged in but does not allow searching, or switching songs nor displays as it is supposed to. My wife's 30GB works with no problems. Of note:
Her 30GB = v1.2.1
My 80GB = 1.0.2
Mine is newer by about 6 months. Both are the latest software according to the screen.
Kenwood has said to "reset the head unit" and "make sure I've got it plugged in properly". I need to try the reset part next but the last statement is funny to me. I can install a head unit, amplifier, re-run all speaker wire, install a Dual 10" subwoofer box, solder and wire tie all connections from a factory unit to a 3rd party Cable manager kit, but I need to "make sure" I know how to plug in an iPod cable.....laughable.

Nano 4th gen hold switch not working

Hello. I just bought a used nano 4th gen on eBay. The hold switch is not working - the click wheel remains active and no lock icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen. It's on the latest firmware 1.04 and I've done a restore twice already.
The seller claims the hold switch did work before he sent it. Is there anything I can try to get it to work? It's out of warranty.
Thanks
David

Shuffle feature not working anymore

I have an iphone 3G. The "shuffle" feature on the ipod doesn't seem to be working. The same song just keeps repeating. Is there a button or setting that needs to be reset?

Check to make sure the repeat setting has not been enabled. To do this, tap the artwork one time from the Now Playing screen to bring up additional controls. You will see an icon with two arrows going in a circle. Tap this icon until it turns white, mean it is Off.

Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle - voice over prob with podcasts

Hi. I have TWO of these cute little shuffles and I really like them.
The problem is that each lives with its OWN Mac, each with its own install of itunes on the mac and BOTH OF THEM will refuse to say some of the PODCAST names.
So for example in the computery voice when I press and hold the voice over button it will say:
ABOVE AND BEYOND TRANCE AROUND THE WORLD
then "Podcast 2" instead of "The Dave Ramsey Pocast
Then For mac eyes only
Then "podcast 4" instead of "Tiestos club life".
It doesn't seem to matter how many podcast episodes are in each major podcast label or whether I have started listening to the podcast or if its "unplayed".
I have both of the shuffles set to "sync all podcasts" because I only have a few podcasts and there is always room..
It seems sort of random.
Any thoughts?

SOLVED! The person who posted in another message to voice over not working with all podcasts got it right and it worked
So you go to SUMMARY tab when clicking on your ipod , unclick voice over, click APPLY. Then click voice over then click APPLY. Then it all works!
Re: Voiceover not working with all podcasts
May 15, 2011 11:51 PM (in response to jessicafromclitherall)
sanfranciscotx was the person who gave this anser.
You need to go to the Shuffle settings page, disable Voiceover, apply settings, the re-enable Voiceover to reset the spoken data.

Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

Any ideas on this ?
Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

Thanks so much for this post!
I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

IPod 5th gen headphone jack not working

I Have the iPod 5th gen and only today the headphone jack has stopped working. When I plug the headphones in it is as if the iPod just doesn't see them and carries on playing music from the iPods speakers and not the headphones. I have no clue what it is doing or any idea on how to fix it.

Hey Katie, as Philly Phan has stated there is a tiny switch inside the headphone port. If it gets stuck open your iPod will think the headphones are plugged in. The plugging / unplugging generally will free the switch. Also, try looking inside the port, your looking for foreign debris, like lint, if you see something try blowing it out or carefully remove it with a wooden round toothpick. Good luck, Cheers.
