Ipod classic abruptly stops in the middle of a song or audio book

This has officially reached pain in the butt status. Apple, would really like a solution. Thanks.

It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
Thanks for the help, King

  • Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

    Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

    Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

    My ipod nano 6th gen keeps stopping in the middle of a song

    Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
    The new headphone jacks are a bit tigher than previous generations and require a little bit of extra force to get the headphones to fully connect.

  • Random skipping, stops in the middle of a song...

    Hi
    I've had a good search and no one seems to have been able to solve this problem, or I might have just missed out but..
    I have a 2nd generation 10G iPod. I've had it for about a year and a bit (it's already been replaced)
    In the middle of a song, it'll stop... make a few funny sounds and then move on to another one after some time.
    I've restored it, and every time it'll just stop in different places...
    Any advice at all?
    Thanks in advance,

    I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

  • Stops in the middle of a song .

    My Itouch has a mind of its own. For some reason it stops in the middle of songs and goes to the next one. All these songs are purchased music from itunes and work perfect on my PC.
    I have tried restoring it and removing all the music and resyncing it. It seems to move when it stops on a song if i remove the song and put it back on the itouch. And its not always the same song!
    Help will be much appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • How do i get my ipod classic to stop making the sad face and saying to get on apple support?

    my ipod classic goes back and forth between a dimmed screen with the apple on it and a bright screen with an i pod classic that has a frowny face on it and an exclimation point and a webside at the bottom saying "apple.com/support/ipod". and i dont know what happened to make it do this.

    That usually means the hard drive has failed. You might be able to find a repair shop who can replace the drive or you may be able to do it yourself depending on the model.
    It may just be better in the long run to just buy a new iPod. You can get a new 160GB Classic for around $200 or so at some online retailers.

  • Why does my ipod stop in the middle of a song?

    My brand new 5th gen ipod will stop playing. It does not matter if the hold button is on or not. This happens anywhere from all the time to after as many as 5 or ten songs. The display is still working properly. I have performed all of the five R's with no improvement. My software is updated to the latest version. Is this a crap unit or what?

    Did you get the music from somewhere besdies ITMS? If so, thats why.
    That's nonsense! You're saying his iPod locks up because he might be using songs that he didn't purchase from the iTunes Store?
    The iPod is not limited to playing only music that you buy from the iTS.
    You can get music from any number of sources... such as importing your own CD collection.
    There's also other online music retailers that you can purchase tracks from... and other websites that offer royalty free music downloads in MP3 format.

  • IPod Classic just quits in the middle of a playlist

    Say I have 10 songs in a playlist. It'll play 5,6,7 and then just quit playing. It acts just like it does when it gets to the end of a playlist. It's still turned on. Everything is there. Plenty of charge left. I can click on the same playlist or another one and it'll start playing again.
    I did the full reset and restore procedure and reloaded all my music and playlists but that didn't solve the problem.

    Mine just recently started doing the same thing. It worked fine last Monday, then I didn't use it most of the week until Friday and it played 2 songs of the playlist then quit. I could start it up again and it would play 2 songs and then quit. I have not tried reset or restore. Anyone got any ideas?

  • My music stops in the middle of a song

    I just bought an album off iTunes and I was listening to it when all of a sudden it switches to the next song.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?! I love the songs that I just bought and if I cannot hear all of them I feel like I just waisted a ton of money because it is 6 of the 13 songs that skip! Please help me

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Air Tunes went dead in the middle of a song

    My airtunes has been working fine for a long time, even after downloading itunes 7.
    For no apparent reason, the airtunes stopped in the middle of a song. Now when I try to connect it, it times out.
    My computer is able to find my wireless internet network but for some reason can now longer play music through it.
    I have done a soft reset. I have done all the things that have been listed here to do.
    Nothing works. Somebody please help before I throw out my powerbook.

    Have you played with any of the iTunes Preferences. Check out its Advanced tab, and maybe uncheck and check some menu items.
    Also, you might want to check with Airport Admin Utility. Play with the Music tab.

  • IPod classic stops playing in the middle of a song

    I've had the same iPod classic for seven years.  It still works very well, except that lately it stops playing in the middle of a song.  I have to hit "play" for it to start playing again.  Sometimes it will go for only ten seconds between stops, other times it will play just fine for several minutes before stopping.  The song that I'm playing doesn't affect the stops.  This only happens when I'm running, so I'm wondering if maybe the vibrations from running are what's causing it.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this?  I've tried restoring the iPod, and that didn't affect anything.  I always keep the battery fully charged.

  • HT1339 I have an ipod classic.  I have approx. 2000 songs on it.  WHen I move the settings to shuffle all music, the music stops in the middle of the song and moves on to the next one.  It happens every other song or so.

    I have an Ipod classic 120gb.  I have approximately 2000 songs on it.  When I put it on shuffle to play it, it stops in the middle of songs and moves to the next.  This happens every other two songs or so.  Please help!

    Try playing the song again and if it does it in the same spot on both your ipod and itunes then you have a corrupted file. You need to re-download the song. Don't worry, this is free if you bought it on iTunes. First, verify that you did buy the song on iTunes and not anywhere else. Go to the iTunes store. On the right hand side of the window there is a column named quick links. Look for "Purchased" about 2/3 of the way down. Click on it. The next window that shows up should show you all the tunes you have bought. Find your tune and you'll see that is says "downloaded." Now you know you have the tune.
    Now go back to your music library on the left hand column of the window. Click on Music. Find that tune that is giving you the problem. Delete the song.
    Now go back to the iTunes store like before and go back to your "purchased" list. The page needs to be reloaded Press the back button and then click "purchased" again on iTunes so the list reloads. Find your tune again. Now instead of it saying "Downloaded," it has a picture of a cloud with an arrow pointing down. Click on it and the tune will download again with, I hope, no problems. I hope this helps.
