ipod classic 30G stops playing some tracks. Starts again when I skip to next track.

Do those SAME tracks play play properly and completely when you play them in iTunes (on your computer)?

  • IPod classic fails to sync some tracks from iTunes

    I use an iPod Classic 160 GB with iTunes. Both are fully up to date. Every time I sync with iTunes roughly 500 of 5000 odd tracks fail to sync. This number fluctuates, but stays around the 500 mark. iTunes does not recognise this problem - it claims to have synced completely. It is only when I go through certain Albums I notice that some tracks are missing. It tends to affect the same artists, but different songs are missing within any given Album each time. (ie: a song may appear on the iPod one try, then be gone the next.)
    All my tracks are either AAC audio file or MPEG audio file. The problem seems to affect them irrespective of kind.
    There is plenty of space on the iPod, with over 100 GB free.
    I have tried Retry, Reset, Restart, Reinstall, Restore - all multiple times, with no result. I have tried syncing auto and manually, and wiping both iTunes and iPod every way I can think of. Still, when I sync, the problem remains.
    This problem is driving me crazy, especially since I can find no cause, and no applicable advice on forums. I have searched Help forums for answers, but everything that comes up either doesn't match or I have already tried with no result.
    Please help.
    If I need to give more detail for an accurate diagnosis please let me know.
    I will be eternally greatful to anyone who can help.
    Thank you, Jonny.

    I'm also having the same issue.  I have recently had to get rid of my old PC that my ipod was synced to and so have now had to sync my ipod to my new laptop.  The problem started as soon as I did this - at first it was saying that my laptop wasn't authorised in the itunes store, but it is and I have reconfirmed this.  All of my music was copied across from old computer but there are around 2000 songs not syncing.  If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated, it's driving me mad! One other thing is that I went to download all of my previous itunes purchases to this laptop but only 3 of them actually downloaded - I had separately copied them across from my old computer anyway but wanted to keep the list of my purchases - when I go into my account it thinks I have downloaded everything so won't let me do it again.  I'm assuming both problems relate in some way to the new machine, but I don't know why.

  • My ipod classic 160gb stopped working and has a lock at the top. it won't sinc to itunes. suggestions?

    my ipod classic 160gb stopped playing and has a lock at the top of it. none of the functions work and it won't sinc to itunes. my computer doesn't recognize it and showed a message of "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)". any suggestions?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    thank you,

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!

    I own an iPod Classic.  In iTunes, some podcast videos cant be played on teh iPod, so I set it to convert the video to the right format for the iPod.  It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason, it doesnt convert properly!  When I play the video, it is just a white screen, but the sound can be heard.  Can anyone help??????

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

    While playing songs on my classic, they stop playing intermittently. I have to press "play" again to get them to play. I've restarted the iPod. No help there. Any ideas?

    I, too, am having this problem with my classic today. It's just begun stopping itself once on each song I play today. I press the middle Select button to start it again, but this is getting very annoying! I haven't tried anything on mine today.
    EDIT: I just realized that it's now doing this more than once per song. I just had this happen three times in a single 4 and half minute song. Any clues?

  • Recently, my Ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously.

    recently, (I believe the since most recent update) my ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously. In the past it work quite effectively.
    I checked the shuffle switches, and they were all turned off. 
    None of the threads that seem to address this issue effectively.
    Don't have this problems with my iPhone 4GS.
    Does anybody know what gives?  Not real keen on Updating Software when options and features removed.

    Did a restore without any media being put on, here are the stats, and the increase from the original posted:
    Retracts: 1                         (+0)
    Reallocs: 280                     (+64)
    Pending Sectors: 480         (+48)
    PowerOn Hours: 198          (+1)
    Start/Stops: 24856             (+50)
    Temp: Current 33c             (+6)
    Temp: Min 14c                   (+0)
    Temp: Max 54c                  (+0)
    Although the hours, and temps don't matter much I included them anyway. Here are the stats after another restore, and all the media being added (increase from original, not last restore):
    Retracts: 1                         (+0)
    Reallocs: 400                     (+184)
    Pending Sectors: 48           (-384)
    PowerOn Hours: 198          (+0)
    Start/Stops: 24861             (+55)
    Temp: Current 36c             (+9)
    Temp: Min 14c                   (+0)
    Temp: Max 54c                   (+0)
    The pending sectors went drastically down, which is awesome, lot less songs are skipping.. Except the reallocs went significantly up as well, I assume that would be due to the remaps of the pending sectors? And should I try more restores to see if that would help try to fix the problem, assuming it would be fixing desk/memory errors?

  • My ipod classic has stopped working, won't even charge. why?

    my ipod classic has stopped working suddenly and now switch on or charge, any ideas?

    The community need more info, from you to be of any help.
    Stopped working?
    1. What do you see on the iPod screen?
    2. When was the last time you charge it successfully?
    3. How old is your iPod?
    4. What version is your iPod?
    5. When was the last time your iPod was working?
    6. Are you using a Mac or Windows iTunes?
    7. Which version of iTunes are you using?
    As you can see in the discussion list, some Post don't get a response, as the regulars don't know how to help without the relevant info.
    Have a nice day!

  • Wont play some tracks

    My ipod touch will not play some of the tracks that I downloaded to it, what I have checked is that I can play them on itunes (so nothing wrong with the files, or privileges), I have checked the setting on the ipod for the restriction controls which are all off. I tried downloading the tracks again with no success, anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    I am also experiencing this problem with my new iPod Touch, and I have followed the steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1510 to no avail. Does anyone have a recommendation that will fix this? I am beginning to believe it is a defect in the iPod software and that it needs to be addressed in a new release.

  • My ipod touch has stopped playing through my Sony docking station, It only plays through i pod. It's not the docking station as my daughter's ipod works fine on it. It can synch when connected to computer. Any ideas what is wrong?

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

    Hello SircoL,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The cause of this error message could be any number of possibilities from a bad USB cable, or a fried USB port. Have you tried using a different cable if at all possible or using a different USB port on your MacBook?
    Also make sure that each end of your USB cable and USB port are clean. Maybe also try resetting your Mac's SMC as described in this article.

  • Ipod classic does not play in auto

    My IPOD Classic will not play on my Rosen navigation radio.

    I had the IPOD playing before plugging in the Rosen IPOD cable, then it started playing. It may have just been a matter of the radio recognizing this IPOD because the installer had used his NANO. Don't know exactly but it now works fine.
