Ipod Audio Messed Up

My ipod is only playing audio through the left ear. Is there a way to fix this w/o having it replaced/service.

Have you tried another set of headphones? If not, do so and if it works correctly you have bad headphones. If it doesn't work you can try restoring your iPod but it probably has a bad headphone jack and will need to be serviced.

IPod really messed up

Just skip this first paragraph if you don't need to know how the problems started
My 30G video iPod's messed up and I can't seem to fix it - it started when my computer froze about 4 hours ago. I reset the ipod and disconnected it while the PC (I'm on XP) was still running but when I turned on again everything was gone from the machine, music, videos and everything. So I plugged it back in after resetting the PC and reloading iTunes, and iTunes seemed to add all its files to the ipod which took quite a while, but when I disconnected it still didn't work. I plugged it back in and rebooted it with the updater that came with the CD, then when I conneceted it to iTunes again the program registered it as the same iPod, with all the old files and everything even though I couldn't see it on the actual machine. So I disabled disk use and took it out - this time, the songs and videos appeared in their lists so I thought it was OK until I tried testing one of the songs.
The songs now do not play, instead rushing through the albums in seconds. All the songs have the little abr at the bottom going from 0.00 to 4.19 seconds (for example) but it just stays on 0 seconds and runs on to the next song on the list without making a sound. So yeah, that's my problem, and could anyone help? Sorry it's so long, I thought you might need to hear the whole story!
I've had the 30 gigabyte iPod video since christmas, and have been using it on a regular basis so I know all the functions and stuff pretty well.
Thanks,
Martyn

Hmm, that's pretty nasty. I'm guessing it's all Windows. Windows freezing = total domination over iPod. Get the new software updater, and restore your iPod again, and see if that doesn't work. If it doesn't you might have to talk to someone from Apple (unless someone else here has any other suggestions).

My Ipod is messed up. Every time i click the top button it just flashes the apple sign for like 5 seconds and then goes off and just continues to do that. help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

All audio works out of dock connector with Apple a/v cable, except for ipod audio. I get no ipod audio. Any ideas?

I have an iPhone 3gS (iOS 4.3.3) and an Apple AV cable. This arrangement has worked in the past. Now, I get NO iPod audio out of the dock connector/AV cable. All other audio (movies/YouTube/etc.) works fine with the Apple AV cable...but, I get NO iPod audio.
Can anyone help me out with this issue?

I have tried videos from iTunes and my own conversions.
I managed to test my cables using a friends 30GB iPod and it worked just fine. I looked really good and I'm really looking forward to getting mine working.
It is definitely my iPod. Both the Apple AV Cable and the cheaper, longer Belkin AV iPod cable work fine with other iPods.
I will try firmware version 1.1.2 when I get home but I don't have high hopes. I will post the results for the silent masses yearning for an answer to the same problem.
Any tips on how to smoothly navigate Apple tech support and get my iPod fixed?

Ipod update messed up video

i just updated my ipod to 1.1
before the update..my videos were running fine, i could watch a full length video without running into any problems.
after the update..the ipod plays the video for about 30 sec then pauses and then resumes. Not only does it pause but it does not have any audio after..only video.

Hello, the same thing it happened to me when I upgrade my firmware. you can download a software called ipodwizard and follow the tutorial on the link below... it will help you to downgrade firmware. it worked for me...someone in ipodwizard forum told that apple release that update before it was done...so they messed up with us... I've heard of more issues (backlight problems), anyway..try this if you want to:

Managing iPod audio content *manually*, using the Finder?

Note: I realize that this topic has been extensively discussed in certain Usenet newsgroups recently; but I still haven't found a satisfactory answer there, so I'm asking here.
I have a collection of a few hundred audio files in iPod-playable formats -- lectures and seminars, actually; not "songs" -- which I would like to load into an iPod nano and listen to, with the following constraints:
--I want to be able to organize these files into a hierarchical folder structure of my choosing, located on my HD at a location of my choice, using only the Finder to do this organizing (and from time to time re-organize and re-name these audio files).
--I then want to dump the latest version of this entire structure onto an iPod nano, and be able to navigate to and listen to these audio files one at a time, using my file and folder names as the structure for this navigating.
This particular iPod does NOT need to contain any additional iTunes content or any other iPod/iTunes capabilities (music, video, whatever) if that simplifies things; and I don't mind having to go a few iTunes steps to accomplish this result, except that:
* NO duplicates of my primary files are to be created anywhere else on my HD, in some "iTunes Music Library" or the like; only my master files are to be used; and
* NO additional messing around on my part creating "playlists" or typing individual file names into some iTunes window or anything of that sort is to be required to accomplish this; my Finder-created folder and file names are to determine what shows up on the iPod screen after the files are dumped to it, and I should be able to navigate through the downloaded audio files and play them using those names only.
Can this (or anything approaching it) be done with a Mac and an iPod?
(And if not, any suggestions for some other Mac-compatible MP3 player that will do this?)
Thanks much for any answers.

Can I use a friend's computer to log in to my iTunes and sync my iPod without messing up their iTunes account?

The laptop I previously used to sync my iPod will no longer turn on. Is it possible to use a friend's computer and go on my iTunes and sync my iPod? She already has an iTunes account, so will it mess up her music and data?

Hello xNikkixx,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you have the option to manually manage your content, you will be able to add content from multiple iTunes Libraries.

Why is my iPod Touch messing up the music library?

Hello,
My iPod Touch is having weird issues with the Music library. I think it started in 5.0.1 but it may have been from 5.0, I'm not too sure about it.
Problem description:
My problem is that my Artist list is corrupt, and my Album list as well. Let me give an example.
Artist list, Alphabetally according to my iPod:
I
Iron Maiden
Jurk
J
Incubus
Jamiroquai
K
Linkin Park
L
Liquido
Kamelot
As you can see, these artists aren't properly sorted alphabetically. I've tried looking at the Info on those files but my iTunes on my iMac shows the proper order just fine, it's the iPod that's messing up. Also my albums seems to be able to appear under different bandnames, sometimes the full album but sometimes only a couple of songs.
What have I tried so far?
I've tried resetting its settings by going into Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset settings. All that did was messing up my library even more. I had about 18 GB's of music on the iPod but my library suddenly showed only about 25% of that. When I checked the content via Settings -> General -> Info (or About?) it said I had only abou 2 GB's of music on it. However, when I connected the iPod to my iMac, my iTunes told me I still had all 18 GB's on the iPod.
I've tried removing music from the iPod-iTunes sync, and adding it after a sync. Although this did make an artist re-appear, it seemed to mess up the library even more.
I've just tried restoring the iPod. It's been cleared entirely, and then I re-sync'd all my 18 GB's of music and a couple of apps. However, now the library is messed up as previously mentioned.
What am I looking for?
Any advice of tips on how to correct my music library. The alphabetical-order-that's-messed-up is only a minor issue because they're still there, it just annoys me that it's not the way it should be. The albums that are messed up between bands is more annoying because now I can't properly play full albums.
Thank you for reading this rather long message, and hopefully you can help me out.
Kind regards,
Roald

Hey, Roald.
I'm not entirely sure this will help your problem, but since it sounded a lot like my own issue, I thought I'd mention it -- just in case.
I updated my ipod recently to iOS5 and just noticed that some of my artists were messed up -- not necessarily listed under the wrong letter, but some were repeated in both English (as I have them in iTunes) and in Japanese, elsewhere in my music list, which was completely surprising. It also made some of my music show up under completely different names, like the composer instead of the soundtrack, etc. I searched iTunes, in the preferences, and the syncing screen, looking for some sort of setting -- but found nothing.
Eventually, I checked my ipod's actual settings for the 'music' app. There's a setting there that says something like 'sort by album artists', which appeared to have been switched on automatically with the OS update. I flicked it to off and restarted the ipod -- and the ipod's issues were fixed. :3
I don't know if this might be a solution to your problem, but try it anyway! I hope it helps.

IPod playlists messed up on Sync

Hey all, I have noticed this problem on my iPod...
Whenever I put the ipod on my computer to charge, iTunes fires up, right? And if I've left a playlist playing (for example, On-The-Go) then it'll be changed to "on-the-go1" with autosave. So how come it messes up all the songs? I'll have stuff like podcasts and totally random songs on the playlist, but a new name. Sometimes the songs that were lost will not be on my iPod anymore. WHat's going on? Can anyone help?

I've just found this problem, seems to have gone 1 track out on all the albums on all the track that weren't lready played.
Does it only happen if the playlist is in now playing?

5G iPod Audio and Video not in Sync

I bought an iPod 30 GB a couple of days before. I was trying to download a movie to it which is in MP4 format. The original movie was in AVI format and I used Videora iPod converter to convert AVI -> MP4, but when I try to view the movie in my iPod the Audio and Video are not in Sync at al. The audio is way ahead of the video. Please someone let me know how to fix this problem. I turned off Equalizer and all other fancy settings in the iPod but it still didn't help.

some encoders have this problem occasionally. I've seen it very frequently in ffmpex when the source is avi. not sure what you're using, but so I'd suggest you try a different software. I'm getting very good results out of handbrake or 42.

Why is the audio messed up when I import a trimmed video from my iPhone to iMovie?

Hi,
well i've been having this problem and it would be great if somebody could help me with it. So I imported a clip from my iPhone 4S to my iMac in iMovie and the audio is all messed up. It's way to fast and at the end of the clip there's no sound at all. I realised that it only happens to clips that I've trimmed on my iPhone. The clips work perfectly fine on my phone but like I said when I import them to iMovie the audio doesn't work properly. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. Thanks

Thank you for your reply. However, I was hoping to avoid manually configuring the account on Mail. I would like to know if there is a way to make my iPhone do the configuration. For example, on Mail if I go to File>Import Mailboxes... I would be able to do it, except iPhone's bluetooth does not support data sharing, therefore this method won't work. Is there another way that I can actually import the email account information from my iPhone to my Mac?
Thank you

Problem with my ipods audio!! Please help!

When I play any audio on my ipod, it usually only comes through one earbud. Even if the headphones are brand new, and in perfect working order. My brother has a perfect working set of headphones, and when he uses them with his ipod, they work perfectly. Then when I plug them into my ipod, the sound only comes through 1 earbud (the right side). Then if I lightly pinch to the upper right of the click wheel (right under the screen), it will start to work. But I sometimes have to pinch in different places. What could be the problem???? Do I have to send it in to be repaired? Please help!!!

Try a 3rd party site and you can either have it fixed or buy the part and fix it yourself:

or Google for more.

IPod Audio too soft when hooked up to car???

iPod touch audio is soft when I hook it up to my car audio jack. I have to turn up the car volume almost to max! I have checked the volume level settings on the iPod...no change?

You should post your question over in the iPod Touch forum (this is iPhone).

Ipod audio doesn't keep up with video! help!

ok. ive got a 60 gig. ipod with a imtoo file converter. almost every time i convert, the file's audio doesn't keep up with the video. for example, at the end of the movie, the audio keeps playing! help plz.

"I think the best one to use is called videora."
Maybe you should first visit "Videora's" Website and read the Bug list...Things that are not correct":
Known Bugs
Audio/Video sync
Problem - Output files can be out-of-sync. While no set pattern has been established, it seems to be more frequent with input files of 23.976 fps, non-DVD rips, and WMV/MPG filetypes.
Workaround solutions - Try the custom option '-async 1'. If the disconnect gradually increases over time, setting 29.97 fps sometimes gets rid of the problem regardless of the input fps. You can also use AviSynth to assume the FPS and have the audio sync to that. If it's a sudden disconnect, check your VOB Cell settings in DVD Decrypter settings per this thread. Otherwise, test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ. For non-DVD files, PSPVideo 9 may be a good short-term solution until the converter stabilizes some more or try something like AviDemux.
Audio track not getting picked up
Problem - The IFO stream rip is fine, but the converted file has no sound. The debug info showed to audio track getting picked up. The most obvious case with this is the Madagascar DVD.
Workaround solution ideas - Test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ (untested). Use a different DVD ripper.

IPod audio stops working after a few minutes of watching a video Mp4.

When watching full length movies on the iPod, my audio stops working at random. The only way to get it back is to stop the movie and advance it, then start it again.

What video conversion software did you use? And did
you install the latest IPOD updater?
I read more of the discussions and going back to the old version took care of the problem.
Thanks!
