Ipod classic plays automatically songs I don't select

I recently bought the 160gig ipod classic. had ipod 5th gen before. no problem syncing. as soon as I put the new ipod classic in the dock it started playing something I hadn't selected. This happens every time. This never happened with earlier ipod. Any comments, suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Sorry, I mean I don't want to play but I can't stop. (discussion title)
Exactly I hear only the sounds from the videos all together.
A tried with 4 different videos and with the shortest one (149 frames) it works well.

    How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop until it's told to play the next song. In iTunes I can uncheck the checkmarks next to songs, but I can't see where to do that on the iPad 2.

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • How quickly will an iPod Touch play a song?

    I play in bands and run our backing tracks off an iPod Classic. I'm getting a bit tired of the Classic taking a couple of seconds to whir into life when I go to play a song...for instance, I will select a song and the Classic will take a second or two to respond before playing.
    I'm wondering, does an iPod Touch start playing a song instantly when you select one to play? I have an HTC One phone which responds immediately, you hit the song and bang, it begins playing within a milisecond. If anyone can help with this, thanks alot.

    Cheers, I need to test one myself really. Are there any videos about which will demonstrate this?

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • How to show a photo as a backgroud picture when iPod is playing a song?

    I am new to iPod nano. I sucessfully uploaded a photo and 4 songs into iPod nano. Now I want to make the photo as a backgroud picture when iPod is playing the song. I clicked Photos > Slidshow Settings > Music > Now Playing, then I played a song, it doesn't show the picture when the song is playing. Could anyone tell me how to set up please? Thank you.

    I am sorry to dissapoint you, but you can not do that. That menu is for when you are viewing your photos and click the centre button, which activates the slideshow which shuffles through the photos. That option is selecting the playlist that plays when you are in a slideshow.

  • Can new iPod Classic play movies types iPod 5th Gen cannot?

    I have an iPod 5th generation and I have not really tried to put movies on it. My wife just got a new iPod classics and we've been uploading (MP4 H.264 codec) movies on her iPod Classic. When I try to upload it on my iPod 5th Gen I get an error these files cannot be uploaded since the iPod cannot play these file types. I had the same with a *.mov file.
    Can the new iPod Classic play more than the iPod 5th Gen? Or is there a way to fix this?

    Try right clicking the movie in iTunes and picking the "Convert for iPod" option. Then try syncing the converted copy ("converting" makes a new copy, old version is left alone) to your 5th gen.

  • 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

  • HT3798 Ipod Classic 160 7th Generation - I don't see any settings in the menu.  I want to shuffle songs.

    I just purchased I IPOD Classic 160 gig 7th generation and when I look at my menu, I have no settings listed.  I want to set it to shuffle mode within a genre.  Do I need to have this connected to the itunes software for this to show up?

    You need iOS 5 to have iCloud and that requires a 3G or 4G iPod.. You have a 2G iPod and that can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • My iPod only plays one song at a time

    I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
    So far, so good.
    The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
    How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

  • How do I get songs from itunes match on my ipod classic if the songs are no longer on my hard drive?

    I synced my I tunes to Match a few weeks ago, and I then deleted the music from my hard drive. I just bought an ipod classic 160g and I cant get it to sync from my library now, even though all the songs and playlists showup on my computer sitll (and play) from match. I have the hardrive space to download the 150gigs of songs, but I'm not sure if thats whats need, or even how to get everyting back on my computer now so that I can sync it.
    Help Please!

    The actual files must be on the computer HDD to be synced to an iPod Classic. Syncing of that model of iPod will not work if the files are not there.
    If you are going to re-add the files back to your library the best way to do it is to restore from the backup you made before you deleted all the song files.

  • Ipod classic skips with songs downloaded from itunes and mp3's.

    I have an ipod 120gb classic, I listen to it in my van through my alpine car stereo, i found that it would start to play songs and then skip to the next song in the playlist, i thought it may have been the cable for the stereo that was the problem, 2 month ago i changed the stereo and the cables and with the brand new stereo the ipod is still skipping through songs which leads me to believe that its an ipod issue and not my alpine, is there anyway to correct this, as it is very annoying, i bought the ipod to avoid having cds and damagings them now the ipod is doing what cds do, skipping tracks, and then ive noticed for such an expensive investment, apple has not been able to resolve the problem.

    I need to know more specifics about your problem.
    Are your songs ending earlier than expected and the play count incrementing? If you push the back button to play the song again, does it end at the same premature time? Can you scrub (push the center select button once and then scroll) to a point 60 seconds after the songs cuts off and hear the remainder of the song play? If you listen to the same song on your computer and it plays fine all the way through and all of the above applies, then the problem is that iTunes is omitting a small amount of data in the midst of the data stream as it transfers files to the iPod.
    Uncheck the song(s) ending too early; sync; check the song(s) ending early; sync. iTunes will then send a new copy of each song to the iPod. If any song on the iPod isn't repaired after this (and the point where the song cuts off may change), then repeating the process for any song which didn't get repaired should work.

  • Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

    I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
    I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
    I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
    I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
    I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
    The problem continued.
    I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
    I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
    I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
    Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

    I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.
