IPod Classic 120 will not shuffle songs

I have a classic that has decided it will not shuffle through a play lis automatically and manually?
Any thoughts are welcome
alan

What happens when you try? If you start a song playing, what happens when the first one ends?
How did you turn on the shuffle feature?
Did you set it to shuffle songs or albums?
Are the songs in the Playlist set to Skip when shuffling?
What do you mean it will not shuffle through a play lis automatically and manually ? What is automatic shuffle; what is manual shuffle?

My player will not shuffle songs since last download of music?

My player will not shuffle songs since last downlaod of music

Hi Nannohelp,
If you are having interface issues with your iPod nano (won't shuffle), a reset has not resolved it, and you have all your music available in iTunes, you may want to try restoring your iPod to factory settings, reloading the music from iTunes, then testing the shuffle function. You may find the following article helpful:

My ipod classics clicker will not work

my ipod classics clicker will not work so i can not turn it off or on i cant play music or anything please help

Have you checked the 'Hold' button at the top left of your Classic to make sure it didn't get bumped into the ON position?
If it's been moved to the right and you can see the red indicator, then 'Hold' has been switched on and none of the buttons on the iPod will work.
What happens if you plug your iPod into a charger or connect it to iTunes?

ITouch will not shuffle songs

My itouch will not shuffle any albums or playlists but rather repeats the first song played endlessly. Even when I select an album, the itouch will play the first song over and over.
I did a restore when this happened before (about 2-3 weeks ago), and the shuffle option worked again, but this time, the restore did not fix the problem with the shuffle option or with the songs playing moving to the next selection.
I have the latest ipod software.
Perhaps there is an ipod setting that I do not know about.
Help will be much appreciated!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Make sure you haven't got repeat set. Tap the repeat button on the left hand side under the time elapsed until it's either blue for repeat playlist or white for no repeat. If it's blue with a 1 it'll just repeat the same song.

Ipod Classic wheel will not sync with ITunes 11.0.4.4

My IPod classic wheel will no longer sync with the ITunes program on my Windows XP system. When plugged in with cord, the IPod acts as if it is syncing. ITunes shows the eject button for the IPod, but it isn't recognized as a device by ITunes. Our IPad and IPhones will sync.
Does anyone have any ideas? Would appreciate any help you have. I had just reloaed my entire ITunes library after losing everything except what was purchased but didn't think that should be a reason for the IPod to quit syncing. HELP!

I have a 6th gen ipod classic that will not turn on...

So,
As the title says that is what I have, however, here are more specifics and what I have done so far...
The ipod will not power on. When I try to turn it on, the logo appears, then it seems to power cycle. Now, onto what I have tried thus far...
I have tried the reset using the menu/center button combos several times and it just does the same thing. I have also tried to plug it into my windows 7 pc, and utilizing Itunes "restore" it. I will quickly back up and state that when I plug it in, Itunes will recognize that it is an Ipod, and display a msg saying that an ipod is plugged in that may be corrupted, please restore it. After I click the "restore" button, itunes will start to extract the s/w to restore it, then an error msg pops up and says "unknown error - 1415" - "unknown error - 1439". Now, I will say that when I plug it in and try to restore it, the first time around it gives me the 1439 code. Subsequently, it will give me the 1415 error if I try to repeat the process. I will unplug it and try again, and the same exact pattern occurs, 1439 on first attempt after plugging into itunes, and then 1415 subsequently. I have read several other forums to no avail possible solutions.
At this point, Im feeling like the only option left is to pay a visit to my local apple store. BUT, before I do that I wanted to see if any experts might have a solution for me here! PLEASE HELP! Im using my shuffle right now, but I really want to get this classic running again! I do have screenshots of all my errors and what itunes shows me in case anyone might want that stuff. In any case, I digress...

Thank you Bilbo! I was trying to find the instructions on how to do this, but was unable to locate them until you pointed me to it!
After running the diag, it shows me error...

Error

From the information Ive read on this occurance, my HD is shot? Is this true or likely? What would be recommended as the next step?

I have an old ipod classic that will not show up on my mac or itunes?

i purchased an older ipod classic, my cousin bought it for me for my b day. he even put songs on it from his computer for me. it gave him no issues. but my new mac book pro does not recognize it. it does not show up on the computer or on itunes. i don't know what to do! it shows up on all my cousin's computers but mine. i feel like mine must be missing a file that allows my mac to see it. when i connect it to my mac it says the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.

Hello there, bayoudure.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for trouleshooting issues with your iPod not being recognized by your Mac:

How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9. It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all. I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

Ahh! The plot thickens!
I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

Itunes will not shuffle songs

I can't shuffle songs in a playlist anymore. I used to be able to do it, then one day it just stopped. I clicked the icon, went to "control-shuffle songs", held down the alt button and clicked the icon, and even hit F5 as stated in the trouble shooting guide. Still no shuffle. Any suggestions? This isn't an idpo issue, its an itunes issue.
5th gen Windows XP

Thank you for posting this problem and solution. I had the same problem and couldn't find much help elsewhere. I tried your solutions and would offer a slight change that made it worked for me.
I completed steps 1 through 6. Then iTunes tried to sync with my ipod shuffle. It wasn't communicating with the ipod so the software was frozen for several minutes. I switched to Device Manager window to "Scan for hardware changes" and the iPod showed up under Storage volumes, but with a yellow circle with an exclamation mark in it. Clicking on the device properties showed that it was not working properly. After iTunes finally gave up trying to synce and reported the "Required disk cannot be found" message I returned to Device Manager and uninstalled the device (ipod). Then I followed the directions in step 7. to "Scan for hardware changes". Windows automatically installed the hardware, but then wanted me to reboot. The first time I pressed "Yes". That was the wrong choice. The second time I pressed "No". Then I followed step 8. and returned to iTunes and the ipod was working again. I deselected "disk use", switched to the content tab and clicked on Autofill and it worked.
Thanks again for your solution.

TS1363 iPod Classic 160gb will not connect to Macbook.

My iPod classic will not connect to my macbook. It is recognized by my wall charger, speakers, and FM transmitter in my car. I've had this trouble for some time, but before I attributed to my previous Macbook which had a few other problems. However I just got a new macbook, and it is still not coming up in Finder nor iTunes. Any advice is much appreciated!

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried another USB cable just in case?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?
