IPod Mini playing only half a song

I'm having a problem with my iPod mini. I uploaded a bunch of cd's onto my iPod last night. During the last cd my computer and iPod froze for about an hour. So I did the unthinkable and unhooked my iPod. Then all of my songs wouldn't play, so I deleted everything. Now when I upload songs, only half the song will play or sometimes the whole song will play but then the next song will only play a few seconds. It's very frustrating! What should I do?

What I suggest doing is using your ipod updater software to reset your mini to Factory Standards. Then, if you receive any problems during updating, there should be a little green keyboard with an arrow on your start toolbar by the time. It's called "Safely Remove Hardware" and you can use that to end the connection with your computer. And usually when compuers freeze, they should go back to normal within at least a day at the longest.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

What steps do I need to take for the iPod mini to remember the last song?

What steps to I have to take for my iPod mini to remember the last song that I played from an album when I turn it on again, after I have turned it off.
Whenever I turn my iPod mini off, it seems to go back to the main menue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how long you are leaving it turned off. If it's more than enough time for the iPod to go into deep sleep, then when next you turn it on, it restarts with the Apple logo and returns to the main menu.
If it's only for a few hours that you leave it turned off, then the iPod should resume from the point at which you left it.
I don't know for sure whether the "remember playback position" in iTunes works after the iPod has been in deep sleep.

I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Nokia 101 music player play only first 20 songs

hi friends ... i have a problem...whenever i download songs in my memory card,my music player play only first 20 songs,and other songs show me format error.... please help me what can i do with this ????
Moderator's notes: Moved into it's own thread

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. I recently purchased Nokia 3555 and HS-49 headset to listen to music in stereo. However, I only get mono sound from the right. I called customer care services before I purchased HS-49 and they said it's compatible with Nokia 3555. Yes, I can listen to music, but it's not in stereo. I turned on "stereo widening effect," but it doesn't change anything.
Accoring to the catalog on the web, the phone has stereo bluetooth capability...So, I think it should also produce stereo sound through a wired stereo headset especially with HS-49 which is listed as a compatible headset.
I really appreciate if anybody can teach me how to listen to music in stereo on my Nokia 3555.
Thanks

My 160gb iPod classic now only holds 4 songs.

It syncs up to 521 songs then iTunes freezes. When my iPod disconnects it only has 4 songs!
It worked fine for around 2 years...
Help! Please and thank you!

I have over 1000 songs in my iTunes by the way.

Ipod Mini will only play some songs

My ipod mini has 43 songs. It will only play some of my songs. The other songs won't even play a single second. I've had some success with restoring via the ipod updater but it keeps coming back. Help?

I've already written to Apple, several times. They sent an auto-reply expressing sympathy that I couldn't find where I had downloaded my iTunes, and directing me to the correct folder...not exactly a helpful answer.
I'm using whatever software came with the blue mini last August when I bought it. I can't be positive, but it seems that the only iPod software updates since then have been related to the shuffle, the nano, ot the new iPod (video), or a system bugs (Tiger) which I don't have yet.
What would have made iTunes stop recognizing the system and the iTunes version associated with the music I bought? What prevents iTunes, at some future point, from suddenly not recognizing my right to play music I paid for and/or insisting that I upgrade something which had been working just fine--until I went online?
Don't get me wrong--I've had Apples for almost 20 years. I have been a fervent supporter of Apples, have referred many people to Macs over the years, and have no intention of using Windows....Maybe that kind of loyalty is what gives the impression that I'll put up with whatever happens, unfair or not. A more accurate interpretation, however, would be that I'll just keep one Mac offline all the time so I can choose what software to upgrade, and when.
But this is an iPod forum...and I digress...
Thank you for your attempt to get to the bottom of this.

Ipod mini skips over downloaded itunes songs only

after downloading songs from itunes, the ipod mini skips over the songs after playing them 3 or 4 times

Make sure you have the newest version of iTunes and iPod Updater, and do a restore with the Updater and resync the songs via iTunes.
Generally skipping purchased songs are related to out of date software and updating and restoring or reputting them back on seems to help.

Only half my songs sync to my ipod from itunes...

i recently got a 5th gen nano...and used the same itunes library from my old ipod and just synced it to my new one...but ever since i switched it to my new ipod, i only get half my songs from my itunes! i know i have enough space when i sync my ipod everytime, but for some reason certain songs wont come up...i'll switch to manual and then back to automatic, and then a who new bunch of songs will go missing...but i never have all my songs at any given point in time! i've restored my ipod...and have deleted all my itunes and reloaded every song, just to find the problem is still there...i'm going crazy!! any suggestions i havent tried??? please help!! i'm desperate!!

Try this -> Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into" my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad. But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music?
2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

Ipod mini scrolls trough all the songs in the playlist!!!

My ipod mini was working fine until now. When i play one song, it plays for less then 1 second and goes to the next song in the playlist, and then it does the same for the next... so i basically only get to hear less than 1 second of every song! I've tried reseting it a few times, but that doesn't seem to do anything..... if anyone knowa what to do, please help!!! thank you, Morgan

I was thinking,my computer crashed, so i had to put the songs from my ipod mini onto my computer using the tips from the dicusion "my computer crashed!!!" so i was wondering if this would effect the odd patern of my songs.????

IPod Mini plays and all of a sudden it pauses :(

Gentlemen,
I have an iPod Mini. Issue is, that sometimes when I play a song and I am touching the earphones or turn the iPod, it pause the song. It gets boring after a while, cause you gotta push "play" every time. I must admit that the earphones are not from Apple. These are cheap ones.
Big time Thanks in Advance

had the same problem with my IPOD NANO. I finally determined that it is a feature of the IPODS to go into Pause mode if you pull out the headset -- so that it does not keep playing (run down batteries or lose your place in audio books). I finally decided that it was randomly pausing due to the headset. Evidently some units manufacturing tolerance is off a bit and a little motion in the headset jack area makes the unit think you have pulled out the headset. I actually, used a very "soft" emoery board (not real coarse) and filed down the edges of the plastic surrounding the headset jack. I think this enabled the jack to make a more solid connection and have not had a problem since.

Only half of songs downloaded

Hi I have recently downloaded an album (Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits) when listening to it today I discovered that only half of each song has been downloaded. For example while it shows that the song "Born to Run" is 4:30 long it will only play until 1:25 before skipping to the next track. If I try to move the progress tracker ahead of this point it will automatically skip to the next track. This happens to all the songs at various points on the album.
I have go to the Download Previous Purchaces section but the Download button is greyed out so I dont know how to re download this purchace.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Cheers
Kim

Hi Carolyn,
When I go to Check for Available Downloads it says that "All purchases have been downloaded for this account". The download appeared to go fine when I did it it is only when I play the files that there is a problem. I have also discovered this same problem with another album I downloaded this same day ("Journey Greatest Hits").
Obviously there has been some malfunction that occurred on this day when I was purchasing these albums but I can't find any way to fix the problem by redownloading the files to replace the damaged ones. Apple sorely had a method of resolving problems where the downloaded file is damaged or corrupted in some way?

Ipod wont play purchased i-tune songs

Recently updated my ipod to the latest version and the ipod will not now play or download the songs which were purchased from the itune store. Can anyone help sort this problem as it is a little frustrating.
ipod nano Windows XP

Try this. It's worked for some.
Enable the iPod for disk use. See How to enable disk use.
Go to "my computer" and from the tools menu/folder options/view tab, enable "show hidden files and folders" in the advanced settings pane. Open the iPod in "my computer". Look for a file called "iEKinfo". Is it there? If so, make a copy of this file and save it somewhere easy to find (the desktop for instance). Do this also with the "iTunes DB" file. Don't worry if you can't see these files.
Create a new administrator account. Log out of the current account and log in to the new one. Then restore the iPod to factory settings.
Open iTunes, connect the iPod and set the transfer preferences to manual transfer. Then download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store. Verify that song plays in iTunes.
Now, drag this song only to the iPod, and eject the iPod from iTunes and disconnect it from the computer.
Does the song play on the iPod ok? If so, log out of the new user account and log back in to your normal one (the one you have issues with) and reconnect the iPod to the computer. Keep manual transfer selected for the moment. Drag some of the older purchased music (the ones that wouldn't play before) to the iPod.
Eject the iPod and disconnect it. Do those songs now play ok?
If not, first try this step.
Delete the SC Info.sidb file. Open iTunes again.
Now transfer some of the affected music to the iPod again. Does it play ok?
