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.

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 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 sport highlight videos very well.

When I try to view sport highlights from ESPN the video stops and the audio keeps going. Can the performance be improved?

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.

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 not playing music or video

I updated to 4.1 and all of a sudden my iPod won't play music or videos. Also I can't hear any of the keyboard clicks when I type on it. Won't play through the AUX or the USB ports either.
Things I tried:
1. Reseting
2. Hard reset
3. Factory Restore
4. Downgrade to 4.0

Welcome to the club. My 2nd gen did the same thing when I "upgraded" to 4.2.1.....

My new iPhone 4 will not play on the iHome iP1 Speaker System. I have removed the case and seated it properly and it charges, but does not play music. How can I get it to work?

Hi there Graham!
I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

HT1349 My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

Music plays in the Music app - not iTunes. Videos play in the Videos App - not in the Music App. Is that what you are doing? If you are using the correct apps for the appropriate content - quit the apps and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Ipod 4th gen does not play music from list automatically. just plays one and repeats it.

ipod 4th gen does not play from list automatically. it just plays one at a time and then repeats it until i select another.
how do i set it to play all on playlist?

On the left side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar is the repeat control. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap the icon until it is white for no repeat.

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.

Imove does not play music

I'am creating a movie in my Mcbookair I realised that when add a background music, or even effects from the software, the imove does not play it. it plays only the video sound.
can someone help me?

Sorry but reset is probably the best root
But as for music player crashing with 200 songs, that is not your problem !
Good Luck

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.

Ipod won't play music or video, other than that it works fine

My ipod 60gb 5.5 gen wont play music or video. I took it to an unexperienced ipod repair centeer and they couldn't figure it out. I took it to an apple store and they said that it was probably the hard drive but weren't sure. I can use this ipod as a hard drive. It will store and transfer files at full capacity. It also will auto scroll through pictures. If the hard drive had malfuntioned then wouldn't I have trouble using it as a removable hard drive? When I select a song to play, it shows album art work but remains at 0:00. I have restored it. When I did a diagnostic run, it didn't show the hard drive in the options for testing. I can repair my ipod myself. I'm talented but I need to know what part to buy first.
Help!
