Ipod Classic continues playing podcasts after it ends

I recently bought an iPod classic and upgraded from a second generation iPod. On my second generation iPod when ever a podcast ended the iPod would stop and not play any further ones unless I directed it to.
On the iPod classic it moves on to the next one automatically. This is something I find highly irritating and would love to know how to disable. Can anyone help me please?

Hi, i have a logic 3 £20 of amazon which seems to work fine, the only prob i had with it is that it kept saying battery full and i had to press play on the remote to restart the music.
Does anyone know if the problem your talking about is with all speaker systems or just certain ones? Anyone know which ones work fine with it as im looking for a new speaker system for it.
Thanks

How can I set my Ipod Classic to play the next podcast rather than repeating same one

I have several episodes of a podcast on my Ipod Classic. I would like to set it so that when one finishes, the next episode starts. How can I do this?

As you may have found out, the iPod Classic will play Podcast episodes in reverse order if you let it simply play from the programme's episode list.
The solution is to create a Playlist with the epsiodes in the order you want them to play. You can either create a Playlist in iTunes and Sync it to the iPod, or create an On-The-Go Playlist on the iPod itself. Make sure that shuffle is turned off, because if it is on, the Playlist will stop at the end of the first episode.
Oh, and to stop it repeating the same one, turn off the repeat feature too.

Some songs in my Ipod classic get get off after a few seconds of playing, but they work fine in ITunes and other Ipods. I have reset the classic several times and same issue happens, any ideas?

I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

Doesn't seem to play podcasts after 1.02 update.

My shuffle doesn't seem to be able to play podcasts after the 1.02 update. I drag songs onto the shuffle in iTunes and it loads. The playlist for the shuffle says the podcast file is on there. I disconnect the shuffle and hit play. The light blinks between green and orange a couple times and that's it. The little card that shows error messages says my shuffle is empty. I plug the shuffle back into the computer and iTunes still shows that file is on the shuffle.
This has started since the 1.02 update. If I put other files like MP3s on my shuffle, they work fine. I've tried doing the 'restore' function and it didn't help. Podcasts tend to be bookmarked AAC files. So, is 1.02 having problems with bookmarked files?
Anyone else having this problem?

Is your "shuffle"/"play-in-order" switch set to "play-in-order"?

My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

IPod Classic stops playing

My iPod classic stops playing intermittently. I've 'restored' to factory settings, have the latest updates, and currently have only about 20Gig of music on it and it's still doing it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It only started doing this in the last six months and I bought it in 2009.
thanks,
Peaky11.

HT1339 ipod classic doesnt play

My 80gb ipod Classic wont play. The music syncs with my itunes and it all appears to be there, but when I click on a song to play it, nothing plays. I hear a small (only can hear it of you put your ear to it) high pitched whirring and ping sound as if its trying to do something and keeps repeating the process. Any ideas how I can get past this?
I've tried restoring it and I get a 1413 eror message. I've tried installing the new versions of ITunes and we're all up to date.

I assume you have tried everything in this article?
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Music continuously plays even after closing the tab which played youtube video, restarting does not help either.

IPod classic 80GB playing just one podcast episode

I upgraded from my Fifth generation iPod and was wondering if it was possible to set my iPod Classic 80GB to play just one podcast episode and then return to the menu? It seems like the default is to move to the next podcast episode after the prior one is finished. Thanks

Yes, turn on shuffle song/albums! I know - that makes no sense
Either:
1. use the Settings menu, go to shuffle and turn it on, or;
2. while playing a song press the select (centre) button until the shuffle option appears and then turn it on.
Then when you play a Podcast the display will show 1 of 1 (instead of the 1 of X that you see now!) and at the end of that one episode, it will stop.
One important thing to note though, there is a shuffle option on the *Main Menu* but if you use that to start shuffle, it will not change the Podcasts to play-one-episode only. (For this reason, I removed the shuffle option from the *Main Menu* .)
I only found this by accident - if it's documented, I can't find it!

IPod Classic 160GB skipping songs after a few minutes play

I've got an annoying problem with my iPod Classic 160GB. It gets to about 3 minutes or so into a song (sometimes more sometimes less then just skips to the next one. It's about a couple of years old (I got it as a replacement when the battery of my 120GB Classic failed) and has been excellent.
It doesn't just do it when I'm walking along - I've put it on my desk now for experimental purposes and it's the same thing. They all play fine in iTunes.
Most of my iTunes recordings are now Apple Lossless - the lower bitrate songs and podcasts seem to play through fine. I've hard-reset and restored the machine.
I have heard some noises coming from the hard disc - could the HDD be failing? Very disappointed if so - and what else can be done short of converting my large iTunes library to a lower bitrate? But that defeats the object of having the Classic's high capacity which is the ability to store and play higher quality recordings. It never did this in the past - nor on my original 120GB

I've done the iPod diagnostic tests on the HDD (select-menu then select-back) and it comes up with no errors or bad sectors. Hmm
