IPOd doesn't shuffle

Hello: I hope someone can help me: Whenever I plce my ipod to shuffle, it doesn't work, it just keeps going from song to song without stopping to play

Are you sure you aren't on a specific playlist or 10-15 songs?  If you haven't already, try resetting the Shuffle to see if that makes a difference.

  • Ipod doesn't show in itunes, vista installed, also, thinks it's syncing...

    I really don't know what to put for a subject! Itunes and my ipod shuffle ran perfectly under Windows XP. I have a LOT of music successfully loaded (from itunes purchases and my own cds) on the 'pod. It plays fine. Problem is, computer bit the dust. I decided to upgrade to Vista instead of reloading XP (couldn't find the **** CDs to reinstall XP). Now, my ipod doesn't show up in itunes and I get that **** "ipod is synced with another library.. do you want to erase this ipod and sync with "this" itunes lib." box. "This" itunes library consists only of songs I've purchased from itunes.... none of the cd music is there. and the only option that itunes seems to be giving me is to blow away what's on my 'pod now and install the tiny library of itunes purchases. The wierd thing is, it's all on the same **** computer... just the OS changed (from XP to Vista).
    What I WAMT to do is somehow get itunes to see my 'pod and copy the music that's on my pod back into itunes where it all came from in the first place and put my latest itunes purchases (since changing OS's) on my 'pod. Jeeze. sounds so simple. Unbelieveable.

    TIA for any help.

    In iTunes, go to the File Menu and select the 'Add to Library' option.
    In the window that appears navigate to the folder that has all the music from the old version of iTunes (i.e. where the music is currently stored on your computer), and select the folder.
    This should then add all the music back into your iTunes (it may make a copy)
    You will now be able to connect your iPod and let it sync to the computer.

  • Ipod doesn't play playlist in order

    I got a new Ipod about 5 months ago and ever since I got it, the songs I put in playlists do not play in the order I put them. This also happens if I get new songs and add them to the playlist they are skipped over until the end (if they play at all.) Why does my ipod just randomly shuffle my playlists? I checked the settings and there is nothing I can figure out to do. Please help. I gave away my old ipod when I got this new one now i'm regretting it. Thanks!

    Try deleting the songs off your ipod and then plugging it into itunes and re-syncing them to the device, whenever my ipod plays up with the music, thats what i do, but if in your case this doesn't work, and this feature is really necesary for you, restore/reset your ipod.

  • My iphone ipod no longer shuffles

    my iphone ipod no longer shuffles and i do not even have the "ovals" or the "shuffle" symbols...anybody got any ideas?  i saw the previous responses on tapping album artwork, but that doesn't even apply here because it appeals the symbols r gone.  i do have these dots that turn into STARS across the top that i have never noticed, but where did my shuffle and repeat functions go?  please help.....Thanks

    Storage space on the iPod would not affect shuffled playlists or playlist shuffling, though substantially full iPods may wind up skipping songs on larger playlists after a while, and require a restart.  As for compressing the files themselves, you can automatically re-encode files to a lower bitrate by checking the box on the summary page when your iPod is connected to your PC/Mac.
    As for the shuffle problem, after restarting your iPod (hold the center button and Menu for a few seconds, until the Apple logo appears), make sure you're telling the iPod to shuffle the songs in a playlist by repeatedly clicking the center button until the Suffle Menu comes up, then scroll to the right to turn it on.  From that song forward, the playlists' contents should be shuffled every time the playlist ends, or is accessed from a new song.
    Shuffle does sometimes turn itself off, I've found, so double-check the setting is still on.  Also, iPods shuffle by randomly assigning a playlist order for your songs, which is different from traditional shuffle (on, say, iTunes or Windows Media Player, where the new song is determined at random upon the current track ending.  The iPod only chooses a random order of songs when you shuffle, to conserve battery life and queue up songs coming up on the playlist in the event of a shock).

  • For some reason, since last nite, my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold

    my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold..any ideas?
    thanks

    A Reset (in link from previous post) is not a Restore.  It does not erase the iPod.  A Reset is THE method to "re-boot the whole system."
    The reason for the Hold switch has nothing to do with turning an iPod ON or OFF.  It exists because most iPods have touch-based controls.  The Hold switch is there to lock the controls, in situations when the iPod is playing music and you don't want to inadvertently touch the controls while handling the iPod.
    Pressing and holding the Play/Pause button turns an iPod OFF.  But I hardly ever manually turn OFF my iPod (except for my iPod shuffle).  I just stop playing music and leave it alone.  The display backlight goes off by itself within a few seconds, and if the controls are not touched, the iPod soon goes into the same power saving mode as turning it OFF manually.

  • My 6th gen nano doesn't shuffle.

    My 6th gen nano doesn't shuffle.  It just plays the same song over and over.  How do I fix this?

    Make sure the Repeat setting hasn't been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

  • Apple logo comes up but ipod doesn't start

    When I turn on the device the Apple logo comes up but the ipod doesn't start and go to the menus it just stays with the logo. When I hold down the play/pause on the click wheel to put it to sleep a symbol of a triangle with an exclamation point in the center comes up along with "www.apple.com/support/ipod." I tried rebooting it with Menu/select but nothing happens.

    Unfortunately, on a "classic" iPod that uses a hard drive for storage, the most likely cause is a faulty hard drive.
    You can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    If that works, connect it to the computer and run iTunes.  iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is data corruption or a software issue (and the hard drive has no physical problem), the Restore should fix it. 

  • Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows  "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

    Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
    It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

  • IPod doesn't sync with iTunes at all...

    I'm having trouble with my iPod is because it does not sync with the computer. I assume the iPod doesn't recognize it somehow. I've tried to manually manage music and videos but when it told me to disconnect, the box was not checked. Awhile back, I deleted some music from the MY MUSIC folder, the folder was too full of music that it deleted all of my music, (including videos). My only concern is that my iPod has stopped syncing to the computer ever since this incident occurred. If you can, please share what needs to be done in order for my iPod to sync properly and gain all the songs and videos I had added after losing EVERYTHING Thank you.

    I think I know the problem and it's solution. The iPod "thinks" it's linked to a different library and therefore does not synchronize. No idea what happens in the background there, but here is what I did:
    First, I went back to the previous update on the iPod (not sure if that's necessary at all, but I just wanted to go to where I started from.
    The UNinstalled iTunes (to be safe I backed up my tunes) and reinstalled it. Then pasted backed up tunes into new iTunes music folder and overwrote newly created iTunes library files.
    Then I connected the iPod, which now told me that I had an old version and needed to update, which I did.
    Then a window popped up and told me that my iPod was connected to a different library and if I want to connect to this one, overwriting everything on the iPod, which I said yes to (it didn't matter anyway, since it was now empty after the RESTORE I had done).
    iPod then downloaded all the songs from my library again and we are as happy together as we've been before
    I think what happened was that after installing the latest update, that window with the "different library connection" had popped up as well and I must have clicked NO because of the "overwrite" comment which scared me. Unfortunately, even with "reset warnings" it then never popped up again and until I reinstalled iTunes.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

    You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?
