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?

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.

See if this helps ... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21623941#21623941

Reformatted iPod Classic Stops Syncing in the Middle - Error Message

So my iPod got corrupted. I clicked reformat in iTunes, it didn't work. I went to disk utility, repaired the disk, then went to iTunes, reformatted it again, and everything went well. BUT - then it started syncing all my music, and about halfway through I get an error message that says "the iPod couldn't be read or written to." This happens every time I reformat the iPod with iTunes now. What do I do? Any ideas?

OK Here's how I ended up solving it, after reading the article above:
My iPod always stopped syncing on that same song. So I just deleted it, and eveyrthing else went smoothly. Done. Go on your ipod, see where it stopped syncing your library, and delete the next song, that should work.

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

Desktop Manager quits in the middle of sync

Desktop Manager just quits in the middle of a sync. I've isolated the offending application to calendar sync with MS Outlook. No warnings, no errors, Desktop Manager just stops running. I tried upgrading to the latest version of Desktop Manager 5.0.1.28, no change. I've tried deleting the Intellisync directory and the problem just reappears after recreating the sync settings.

My ipod classic just froze on me and will not even reset. All I'm getting on the display is a red circle with an x in the middle. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

My ipod classic just froze on me and will not even reset. All I'm getting on the display is a read circle with a red x in the middle. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to restore it and instead get the red X symbol, it's a very good indication of a damaged hard drive inside of your iPod. This means you'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair or replacement.

My iPod Classic just shows the apple

Broken. iPod Classic just shows apple. Then tells me to go to support. Red x n circle.

Bring it in to Apple for a checkup, most likely the battery is near dead, or your charging cable is damage.
Can you get another USB cable, and connect the iPod to a High Power USB 2.0 port, and leave it charging for 4 hours (The charging sign (lightning) must be ON the iPod display)
Do not connect it to any USB Hub, as these don't provide enough power for iPod charging.
After fully charging the iPod, do the disk diagnostic to see the condition of the Hardisk. refer to this post by tt2.

My iPod classic accidentally went through the washer. I put it in rice and now it will turn on but it just shows a red X. Am I just out of luck?

My iPod classic accidentally went through the washer. I put it in rice for about two weeks. It will now turn on but only shows me a red X. I plugged it into the wall but I am afraid to plug it into my computer. I don't know if that will have an adverse affects on my computer. Am I just out of luck on this one or is there any way this is salvageable?

Rice is a weak drying agent. You can buy stronger desiccant's that will do a better job of drying out the iPod. But please use caution, these desiccant's can be poisonous, so use caution.
Considering the very high value of an iPod classic I would make every attempt to repair it. One example is shown below, but there are many types available.

This happened to me aswell, but it happened to me when I plugged it into the PC but same problem. what you have to do is move the 'Hold Switch' to put it on hold and then move it back again and then hold both the 'Menu button' and button in the middle of the click wheel. then it will turn off and then come up with the Apple logo and then it will work fine and you can try again. (P.S: If it doesnt show the Apple logo just try pressing any button

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.

If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open. I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

My Itunes locks when I connect my Ipod classic. I have the latest version of Itunes as of 10/31/11. Any fixes???

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Hp 8600 quits in the middle of a print job

I have an HP 8600 that when I send a large print job stops printing in the middle when I print from mail merge. I get no error message on the computer, it just stops printing. When I check the print job status it gives me an "error - sent to printer" message, but there is no error message on the printer. I restart the print job from where it left off and it will print a few more and give me the same error message. So I restart again from where it left off and it will print for a little bit more and stop with another error message. Each time I restart the printer prints less and less of the job. Say I have 100 entries to print, I'll get 50 the first time, then 25, then 15, then 5 then...well you get the idea. Its more than a little frustrating.
I forgot to mention I am working on a 32bit Windows 7 premium system loaded on a Toshiba Satellite
I also forgot to mention that when it stops, the last page it prints is blank.

Hi hp_issed & TXGabe,
I understand that both of your HP Officejet Pro 8600 printers are not able to print correctly and quit in the middle of jobs.
What is the firmware version of the printer? click here to find out how to retrieve it.
Which Windows operating system are you running?
Is the printer connected via USB, ethernet or wireless?
Is the power to the printer connected directly into a wall outlet or a surge protector?
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs; what's up with this?

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs...just silence. The play indicator shows that there's more data there but it's just blank. The songs play fine on iTunes and the data on my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 11.02.26). And it's not always the same song... It's like random. So it's got to be a bug in the iPod Classic firmware. Any help from Apple? Get a Zune?

Is it always the same songs that get cut off? So the question is, after you do a Restore, when you re-sync songs back to the iPod, is it always the same songs that get cut off? Or are they different songs each time? Try doing a Restore and re-sync several times...
If they are the same songs, that points to a problem with the song files. Maybe there is data corruption on your computer's hard drive, that caused the song files to become corrupted in a way that iTunes on the computer can still handle, but the iPod's software cannot. The corrupted songs stay the same.
If they are different songs, that points to a problem on the iPod. If a Restore does not fix the problem, then it may be data corruption caused by the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable. When you do a re-sync after Restore, the data is not being stored properly on the iPod due to a hardware problem. It randomly affects different songs each time during the re-sync
