Ipod does not play anymore

My ipod recently stopped playing music. The icon will be on as if it was playing but it is not outputting any sound. I tried my car speakers and my computer speakers. I tried resetting it as well but to no avail. Any suggestions on what i can do? Thanks.

The exact same thing happenned to me this weekend. I have tried all of the reset options and iTunes was kind enough to reformat my device for me (which lost a bunch of content, but I guess it doesn't matter if the device doesn't even play).
Has anyone come up with any other fixes?

Ipod Does not Play songs

Ipod does not play music. Instead of playing the song, it just lists the title (like when a song is playing) and then moves to the next song without playing the song. It's as if it automatically forwards to the next song (song titles displays for every second). And this occurs in shuffle mode, and/or selecting a playlist. Need help! Ipod was purchased in this site on May 27,2006.

Ipod does not play music in play after...

Hello Guys...
I have this problem... In the night I connect my ipod to the computer to charge while I am working, in the morning I browse in the ipod menu but when I play any music file, the screen shows the "play symbolo" but the song does not play, I press "pause" then "play" but not works, after it, I reset the ipod pressing the "menu and center" buttons, after it, works good.
In the day when I dont play music for couple hours and try again, the problem comes again.
The question, any solution?
I have 5th ipod generation, 30G, ipod software 1.2.1, iTunes (last version) 7.1.1.5, windows xp.

Ipod does not play audiotracks in correct order

I have several audiobooks that I transferred to my iPod. Unfortunately it does not play them in the correct order.
Initially the "Name" was something like "1-7 A is for Alibi" up to "7-7 A is for Alibi". The tracks in the info had all the correct numbers.
The iPod always started with 7-7 and went to 6-7. I changed the first part of the name to "1 of 7.....". Still the same problem.
I deleted the "1 of 7...." part. Still the same problem.
I switched the display in iTunes so the tracks were in the correct order. Still .. (you guessed it).
From the info panels I cannot see any tag that might cause the confusion.
Anybody has eny idea?
Thanks.

Check your iPod settings to see if it is set to shuffle. I think this is the default setting in the iPod to shuffle audio tracks. The iPod's shuffle setting is independent of iTunes shuffle setting, so setting a playlist or your whole library in iTunes to shuffle or not shuffle will have zero effect on whatever the iPod setting is set for.

The iPod does not play any songs, always stuck on 0:00. All the browsing features work.

The iPod classic does not play any of the songs. all the songs stop at 0:00 and don't play. How do I fix this?

Try the Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

IPod does not play songs in order - iPod Shuffle 1GB

When I drag songs to the iPod it adds them to the end of the list and then I sort by song name. When I play them on the iPod they are played at the end. When I hook up the iPod they are listed in the right order but that's not how they are played.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it?
Thanks in advance.

IPod does not play anything. But...

My iPod video will not play anything. It doesn't freeze, it doesn't skip, it just won't play anything. The buttons are functioning, and I've tried the 5Rs, it just won't play anything. The time stays at 0:00, and I'm able to do things like go back to the menu, and change the volume. I've viewed the other topics on the forum, and restoration has worked for all of them, but not me. The songs are from CDs that were lawfully purchased. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried a reformat in Windows (FAT32, not a quick format) and then a Restore in iTunes?
Also, after doing this and before syncing, Deauthorize your computer in the Store menu, play one of your iTunes Store purchased songs and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Now sync the iPod.

Ipod does not Sync anymore

Hi, y ipod touch has stopped Syncing to my G5 tower. Further after I updgraded the iOS on the ipod, NOW it will not Sync on the G5 cuz it's i'm using 10.5.8 and itunes 10.5.2. Since my last attempt to Sync to the G5, the iPod has erased al the apps, and widgets that "apparently was not authorized"... cuz it was not able to Sync.
My question: is there a way to "copy" my recent ipod backup that is sitting into the G5 powerPC, and copy that to the iTunes of my MAcBook-intel using also OSX10.5.8, and itunes 10.6. The ipod, has not been backed up with the MAcbook before. Update. after connecting the ipod tothe Macbook, it says it requires itunes 10.6.3.
My most recent backup of the ipod to the G5, was 9/25/12. I have been trying to find an alternative since then. Short of having to buy a newer G5 (that could handle OSX 10.6 and higher) I now want to use the MAc book to Sync the ipod, and hopefully I can regain all my purchased app that have been deleted (as I was told by a Genius at Apple store)
Any suggestion on how to transfer the ipod Backup file from the itunes in G% to the Mack book itunes?? Where is the file located that contains the back up?? Do I have to copy my entire itunes library?? or can I simply "point" to my G5 itunes library via a fire wire cable that is onto an extra HD into the G5?? (obviously using the G5 as a target mode)
any help will be welcomed!
Michel

llaass,
thanks for your reply. I checked the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/, folder, but all files are impossible to decipher which one belongs to what.
I was able to upgrade itunes10.6.3 on the G5 PPC. Another problem I encounter, is that when I attmpt.
The error I get is when I am suddenly being prompted to put my username and password..... but it says it is invalid. It goes to step 4, and says "this computer is no longer authorized for apps....would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the itunes store.... if you do not authorize.. 22 apps will be deleted"
I click authorize, and then my user name is already in there, but my password has to be inputed. (never had to do this before) After putting my password i Get: "there was an error storing your authorization info on this computer...the required directory was not found or has a persmissions error. Correct the permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permission cannot be chnaged".
No I don't know if this problem comes from the fatc that "mobile me" is not more . Like when I go to sys pref, Mobile me (10.5.8 does not have iCloud) and attempt to sign in, it won't work. (BTW my usernam and password is automatically in the respective fields- no need to manually input them.)
Could this problem be due to itunes not being able to log into my "icloud" account vs "mobile me" account? it is interesting that it stopped working early October, when mobile me went out of biz at end of June!!

My ipod does not play in the left earbud.

I have had a first generation ipod nano for about a year and a half now, and, recently, it has been unable to make sound out of my left earbud. I have tried three different sets of earbuds on it, and the same problem has occured. Am I correct in thinking that there is a problem with my ipod, and not the earbuds? If so, how can I fix it?

It is a hardware issue e.g. bad contact between the earphone jack the earphone plug
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

IPod does not play music from the beginning

Hi there!
The music is properly good on the hard disk of the PC.
The music is imported into iTunes, where it played well from the beginning.
On the iPod, the music is also available.
When playing the music now as follows:
The title starts 6-10 seconds from the start, just after this time the song is played from the beginning, for about 6-10 seconds, then the title is a play on. Then from 12-20 sec from the beginning.
I hope the wording is somewhat understandable.
Thx for help!
PS: "Remember Position" is not enabled; Start time on each track is 0:00

Good evening everyone!
The problem is solved.
It was because of the ZoneAlarm firewall software!
Somehow, the music is cut up by plan no why ...
Firewall uninstalled, delete music from iTunes and the iPod, newly imported gesyncht = works
Thank you very much for your attention!

IPod does not play well with left speaker

I have tried several ear buds as well as stereo's for playback with my iPod. The left speaker plays at about 1/2 as loud as the right speaker in all these devices. This has happened with 2 seperate iPods. I've downloaded songs from 2 seperate PC's to the iPod and still get the same results. Has anyone else experienced this?

hmm mine does the same thing from time to time but with the right speaker...I thought it was the car stereo I was playing it through but I've tried a few sets of headphones to discover that it must be the ipod itself.
I've discovered that this is an intermittant problem - the ipod will either work fine or produce only 20% of volume throught the right speaker. The problem doesn't come and go while you're listening to it, but when you turn the thing off and come back to play music or video later - it either works correctly or it doesn't.

Ipod does not play music or videos

Hi everyone! I just got a new 30GB ipod for Christmas and I put some music and one downloaded video on my ipod from itunes. Everything plays fine on my computer. It also all shows up on my ipod but when I click to play it the play screen comes up but it never starts playing. The video stays on a black screen with the play icon in the top corner and then I have to reset it because it freezes. I also tried deleting what was on it and trying to do it on another computer but the same thing happens. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? I really want to go to the apple store today to have it fixed but I know it will be packed since it is the day after Christmas! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have this problem as well. The 1.1 upgrade was supposed to fix this problem but it didn't. Hopefully Apple will address this issue.
