IPod classic 160Gb 2009 starts tracks part way through

I restored my iPod a couple of months ago through iTunes so it's on the latest version available and all, and since then it's developed a minor but very annoying quirk of starting music tracks part way through when I skip to them - particularly noticable on playlists. What it's actually doing is resuming playback from points where I skipped them on a previous listen. Pretty much what you'd expect an audiobook to do, starting from where you left off. Which is great for audiobooks, but not what I want for my music tracks. I can't find any settings for turning this 'feature' off on the iPod or through iTunes, and I'm not sure it's supposed to be applied to music tracks anyway.
Before I resort to wiping the iPod and starting from scratch to see if that fixes the problem (because it takes hours to transfer all my music over again), does anyone else have any experience with this parrticular problem and know of a solution?
Thanks!

I've managed to fix this myself. Selecting all tracks from within iTunes, then right-clicking and hitting 'get info' and setting the 'remember playback postion' to 'no' for all mp3s has sorted the problem out. This would perhaps benefit from being an option in the iPod settings in addition to individual track settings so it's a bit more intuitive to find for those of us who aren't regular iTunes users!
The real mystery is why it was turned on for them all in the first place. From what I can gather it's something you're supposed to enable per track yourself, and so off by default. I certainly didn't turn it on, so I'm guessing it was a minor glitch in the Matrix.

Does anyone know how to activate Genius on an Ipod classic 160gb when it is already activated through 'Match'

Have started using Icloud and Match. Genius is working on my Ipads, Iphones and Ipod Touch but I cant set it up on my Ipod Classic 160gb bought last year. Keep going in circles as Genius is enabled but Ipod doesn't think so

Hi Devon Andy,
Have you tried doing all the things listed in this guide? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3843
Genius on the iPod Classic might not work in the same way as on your other devices because it's not an internet-enabled device.
Good Luck,
Stefan

Sound difference between an ipod classic 160gb 2009 and an ipod 80gb

hi
iv had my ipod classic 80 gb since 2007 and just a couple of weeks ago i bought a pair of dr dre headphones solos and i tried them out on an ipod touch and the sound is much better and i was wondering if the sound would be better is i bought the newest ipod classic?

I have the Dr Dre beats headphones as well. I have the 160GB iPod Classic (2007) and I have the 64GB 3g iPod Touch. I think that the sound out of the iPod Classic is crisper and cleaner than the sound out of the iPod Touch. I did this comparison using the same settings (Equalizer was OFF) and same bit rate etc. The difference between the two machines was not great either however it was noticeable.
When you compare the two with your Dr Dre Solos are you using the same sound settings on the two iPods? Ensure that the Equalizer is either turned OFF or the same setting is used on both. The other thing is to check and see that the music that is used to compare with is using the same bit rate. In other words make sure that you comparing apples to apples.

IPod Classic 160gb (7th Gen) making odd noises through internal speaker

I bought an iPod Classic off a friend, and within a day or so of syncing it to my iTunes it started to make this strange "chirp" noise through the internal speaker. It is the same noise the iPod makes if you boot into Diagnostic Mode. It was making this noise randomly when browsing songs or scrolling through the main menu.
I had a warranty through the store it was purchased at so I exchanged it for a new one. After syncing it with iTunes again it made the same noise through the internal speaker. I turned the "Clicker" sound off in settings to see if that would eliminate the noise, and it did, until I synced the iPod a few minutes later and it made the noise once, again.
I've seen other posts on the web with people having this issue, but no solutions. Anybody have any ideas? Or is it just something I have to live with, or keep exchaging iPods?

It seems to be making this noise whenever it has to load information. If I scroll through the cover flow really quickly and get to a section of albums that haven't had their art loaded, it makes the noises as it loads the art.
Seems like any time the iPod has to find and display information from the hard drive that it doesn't have cached it makes the noise. Is this normal or should I be seeking another replacement? I don't want a bad hard drive on my hands.

My iPod Classic (160GB, 2009, 7th Gen.) will NOT output video to the TV.

I hook it up with the Composite AV cable (MC748ZM/A) and set the TV Out to "on", but it won't play. It just says "Please Connect Video Accessory". I've actually tried this on two iPods (identical models) and I get the same result on both ipods. I've tried 3 different TVs as well. Any suggestions?

Did you change the input on the TV to the appropriate Input Type that matched the A/V Inputs that your iPod was plugged into?

Tracks jump part way through both in itunes and ipod

I have an itunes library, version 7.1.1 (5), that is almost 100Gb in size. Most of the cds I imported over the past 2 years and have never had a problem until recently.
Tracks have started jumping to the next track part way through both in itunes and on my new ipod. These tracks used to play with no problem so it has nothing to do with the actual cd import but something that has happened since.
The library is stored on an external LACE drive and they have always been there since import.
It doesn't happen to all tracks but happens very freqently. It is very frustrating and I'd appreciate any advice please.
Regards,
Mike

I'm curious to find if you've resolved this issue. I have the same problem with my ipod and itunes as well, and have had a hard time finding any support on this issue. Certain songs in itunes and on my ipod either won't play or skip to the next song after about 15 seconds.
I've seen recommendations for people who are having this issue on their ipods, but their songs in itunes seem to be working okay. Several of my songs (purchased and imported) skip on my computer and on my ipod.

Upgrading part way through the term of a plan

I'm looking to sign up for the 'Photoshop Photography Program' plan as well as a Single App plan for Illustrator. If my needs require that I need another app partway through the first year can I upgrade to the full plan without any penalty. Or do I have to either wait until 12 months are up or cancel (and loose) what I've already paid for and start again part way through?
I'm torn between getting Creative Suite CS6 Design Standard as well as Lightroom separately on a one off, or signing up for CC, which I accept is more flexible but in the long term will cost considerably more. These are not every day tools for me but they are essential all the same, a major investment which ever way you cut it.
Thanks in advance for your response, Chas RFNM.

Hi RFNM,
Yes, you can upgrade to CC full plan anytime and to waive off the penalty please contact customer support:

My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine then it sometimes freezes up or start shuffling through the songs not playing at all. After i reset it works ok for a while then same thing. Bought this so i could control through my steering wheel/radio.

I sure hope someone can help me with these ipod classic 160gb issues.
My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine and then freeze up (unable to move around in it at all) and i have to reset it. This happens constantly whether in my car or when i listen at work. After i reset it works ok for a while then eventually requires another reset.
Another problem is that it will be playing fine and then start shuffling through songs without playing them. The songs that get shuffled work fine in the itunes program but not on the device. A reset does not correct the problem with these particular songs.
Also, sometimes when it is working and not freezing up or shuffling through, it will appear that a song is playing (in fact it says "now playing"), the song titlte is scrolling, but the song progression bar does not move. The count up in front of the bar stays at 0:00, and the count down at the end of the bar stays at the song length minutes not counting down. After I reset, it works fine and all the songs will play.
The reason I got this thing was because i can control it through my steering wheel/radio while i'm driving. I previously had a Zune 80gb which i'm glad I held on to. I have over 6600 songs (so I'm obviously a serious music listener and obviously frustrated), but only about 10 songs were downloaded through itunes, the rest I either ripped or downloaded from other site. From what i've been reading it sounds like there's a lot of ipod owners out there experiencing similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve these issues for me and everyone else? I got my first iphone 8 months ago, then the ipod and was considering an ipad. But in light of my ipod issues.....
I hope someone can help me and convince me it wasn't a mistake to go Apple! Thanks!!

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

After synchronising, the iPod song starts part way through the song. Same song starts fine on iTunes. Wassup?

Why is it that after I synchronise my iPod with iTunes the track on my iPod starts part way through the song? Only happens with the occasional song and is not widespread. The iTunes song on my laptop is fine - when I play it from iTunes it starts from the start.
Any help would be very welcome

You're in the exact same situation as me, and I can't seem to find help with this problem.

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?

May try DIY due to cost
Just wondering if anyone's had this fixed how much it costs
Or if it's another problem before I order parts

I have found the solution for myself for the above. I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

Cover flow on ipod classic 160gb 6th gen

I was just given an ipod classic 160gb 6th gen, it the previous owners music on it, so I hooked it up to itunes & restored it & updated it to factory settings & put my name on it. I noticed in cover flow mode, that albums are doubled, one for the entire album, then the album cover again for individual songs. when I go to album view, the albums show up ok, there are no double ups there. I also notice when I scroll down to the now playing with the split screen, it comes up blank with no cover art. I had an 80gb 5th gen ipod & everything seemed ok. I wiped it clean with a restore as well to start fresh. It took about an hour & a half to sync over my music library from my external hard drive to my new 160 gb 6th gen ipod. It seems to play ok, so far, I just got it today, & I have been playing it on & off to try it out.
I am running itunes 9.0.1.8. Also when I plug in my ipod, itunes ops up with an update message for me to update, I click ok for the update, but nothing seems to happen, so I do not know if itunes has updated or not.

Ok, should I try the trialing X, for those persistent multi covers that do not respond to adjusting the track names as first suggested? I went to your tips page & saw the graphic for that. Is it ok to just leave the Xs in or must they be removed?
iTunes tries to be "smart" and only updates the tag if it thinks you've changed something. Adding the X is a temporary measure to force iTunes to acknowlege that something has changed and thereby hopefully merge the album. Once it's done you can get rid of the unecessary trailing Xs.
I also looked at your image for handling multi discs, will this group multi discs together in cover flow?
Yes, that's the point.
& when one is playing a multi disc set, will the ipod just go straight to the next disc (disc 2) in playback as though it were one single album?
Yes.
or will playback stop at the last track of disc 1 & then one would have to select disc 2 to play.
No.
Will the multi disc set still come up as 2 different discs to selct to play? I may not want to start with disc 1.
No. You can always chose which track to start playing.
One of the albums I was having trouble with multi covers was part of a 2 disc set, disc 1 was credited to the main artist, but had guest artists for 1/2 the tracks, disc 2 was by the same artist with no guest artists. I have now gotten disc 1 to show as a single cover in cover flow by checking off part of a compilation in the info panel, but it does not appear next to disc 2 in cover flow.
Again setting *Part of a compilation" is the wrong approach. Set *Part of a compilation* to No, put your guest artist info. into the track titles (or any other scheme you choose) and make sure that the Artist value is consistent for all tracks.
on an off note, I notice when I press my ipod button or navigate any of its features, there is a slight grinding noise, I can hear the hard drive, when I bring it close to my ear, it sounds like a chewing mouse is this ok/normal to hear slight noises? it seems to be functioning alright. It is pretty responsive.
Yes, the noise from disc activity is normal. My iPod lives in a silcone sleeve which probably muffles it a bit and most of the time I'll have already have music playing so I'm rarely conscious of the noise of hard drive activity but it is there.
