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.????

    Hello!
    Do you have a Mac computer with Time Machine backups?

  • Help! My IPod Mini keeps losing all the songs I put on it!

    A while ago I noticed that the battery life of my IPod mini(original) was getting shorter, however didnt really mind because I didnt use it that often. However I updated it with the new ipod software that my itunes suggested when I plugged it in to my computer. However since then its been going crazy. It wont play anything and just switches back to the apple sign. So I restored it using the ipod updater but it still has the same problem. Ill leave it to update, then it will list everything on it, but once I select something to play it turns it self off. Then once I manage to turn it back on again all the titles are gone. Have tried all the steps on the support page, really dont know what to do with it now!

    "Have tried all the steps on the support page, really dont know what to do with it now!"
    Have you considered that it may need battery replacement, especially since you said battery life was getting noticeably shorter? Is it still under warranty?
    If not, Google "ipod batteries" for alternatives to Apple.
    If you want to use Apple, they do an out of warranty battery replacement programme.

  • My ipod mini locks up ALL THE TIME

    I think I may have gotten a lemon. My ipod mini just stops playing and none of the buttons work until I reset it. This happens at least once every time I use it sometimes two or three times. Really annoying. My boyfriend has an ipod mini and uses it at least 7 hours a day. His has only needed to be reset once ever.

    Very possibly your iPod is faulty. Is it new, or has it ever worked correctly?
    Before you think about sending it off for service, have you tried restoring it?

  • Apple ipod mini scrolling through songs

    I recently set up a mini on my itunes for my daughter with her own playlist as described in the site. I had to transfer her songs over to my computer and some of them she got off of the store had to be authorized. BUT...Now her mini scrolls through all of her songs uncontrolled when you try to play them. What is causing this??
    Help!! Thanks

    This has happened to me also, and I'm just as clueless! At random times all or just some songs in a playlist/artist/album will suddenly scroll rather than play for now reason. I had it happen within the very same day - one hour it works fine and the next it's scrolling and I haven't done anything to it.
    The only good thing is it seems to fix itself after I connect the it to the computer and it updates itself. But still, it's very irritating, almost as much as how Apple Techs don't seem to want to talk about it. I'm guessing they rushed this thing out to market and haven't a clue either as to why it happens.
    And I've had other unexplained quirks both with the iPod and with iTunes. I got my mini as a gift, but given how "iPod Tech Support" is a new oxymoron, I doubt if I'll ever buy another one when this craps out.

  • IPod mini reset itself, all songs gone

    Help! I turned on my mini last night to find the language screen asking what language I wanted...then I found that all my songs and playlists were gone. I'm away from my home computer all summer so is there any way I can get those songs back? I miss them already!

    Laura, I wish I had an answer, but I'm posting hoping that someone else will answer too. I encountered the same problem last night. I turned on my mimi last night at the gym and all the songs, playlists, everything, were GONE! I tried to copy the playlist to my mini when I got home, and the Powerbook and iTunes recognized the iPod, and let me copy the playlist over, and I could see the playlist in iTunes through the computer but when I ejected the mini from the computer, nothing was on the mini. I'm at a loss.
    Help!

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.
    Yan

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
    Bye.

  • Songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for

    when i plug my iPod in a message pops up and says "songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    i've read what other people have put on this topic and when i click on the music tab under my iPod nothing happens. please help!

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

  • My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9).  How can I get them back?  I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

    My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased.  When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found." 

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • Ipod doesn't show all the songs listed in Itunes even after sync is complete

    Ipod doesn't show all the songs listed in Itunes even after sync is complete

    I'm going through the same thing, I've tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer and that seems to help. I haven't gotten all my songs back yet, but I've got about 75% of it back.

  • My iPod just skips through all the songs without playing them

    The other day, I was listening to a playlist on my iPod Nano (first generation), and it just skipped over one of my favorite songs. I immediately reset my iPod and went back to the playlist, but this time, it wouldn't play any of the songs. The artwork, title, artist, etc came up for a second, then it would skip to the next song and do the same thing. I reset it a few times, updated iTunes, and updated my iPod, but nothing worked. I'm extremely disappointed because I'm pretty sure my iPod isn't under warranty anymore, but still, it hasn't even been two years since I purchased it. Is there any way I can fix the iPod? If not, could someone please tell me how I could contact Apple and possibly get a replacement? I understand that it'll be difficult sine it's no longer under warranty, but when I spend $250 on a product, I expect it to work for more than a year and a half. Thanks so much to anyone who can help.

    DeepCove-r,
    You can actually transfer your iPod songs to your computer.
    First, you'll need to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing your iPod. To do that, follow these steps:
    1 - Open iTunes.
    2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Ctrl and Shift keys together.
    Continue to do this for perhaps about 20 seconds after your iPod appears in the Source List of iTunes (the left area).
    After you've prevented iTunes from auto-syncing your iPod, click on it in the Source List, and under the "Summary" tab, select the option: "manually manage content on iPod".
    Also, go to the Music, podcasts, etc. tabs, and deselect all check-boxes that say "Sync", to sync music, or podcasts.
    Now, to save your changes, click the "Apply" button in the bottom-right corner of this screen.
    Now, to transfer your iPod songs to your computer, there are a few different methods, but perhaps the most straight-forward way to do it would be to download a third-party program which can do this for you.
    YamiPod is free, and commonly recommended for using with copying your iPod songs to your computer.
    After you have those songs copied to your computer sucessfully, restore your iPod in iTunes.

  • My Ipod is switching through all my songs!!

    I have a 30GB video Ipod and it just got done charging and i took it out of the usb and when i went to go and listen to it, it starts to scroll through all my songs and not letting me listen to any of the songs!!! Can somone tell me whats goin on? and if so can you help???? please reply i need help!

    Did you make sure that you ejected the hardware safely?
    They don't like being dismounted before the connection is closed, it can do really significant damage to the iPod and it is cumulative (it builds up and gets worse).
    Reset your iPod and place it back in your dock after you have let your battery run out after all of the "turbo-scrolling" (as I like to call it) through your library has finished.
    Let the iPod synchronise properly again and make sure it is safe to dismount your iPod from your dock.
    This may happen again later if it is slightly damaged, just be patient and let it run down again, repeating the process.
    If you are worried about damage, you can always check the disk to make sure that it is not damaged and repair any damage to the sectors.
    (bear in mind that reformatting it if you want to will erase your music)

  • IPod Mini won't play downloaded songs/Do Not Disconnect

    Recently, my ipod mini has been having some problems. If I leave my ipod mini idle for 2 days and the apple symbol appears when I turn it on, all the songs that ive downloaded from itunes wont play. When i attempt to play a downloaded song,it will boot me back to the main menu of the ipod mini. To fix this problem, i have to plug my ipod mini into the computer and then it will play downloaded songs again-until i leave it idle for 2 days. Also, when i plug my ipod mini into my computer, the do not disconnect screen on my ipod wont go away even after it says that the itunes update is complete on itunes. I end up having to disconnect the ipod when im not suppossed to. I have a feeling that these 2 problems are linked, and its becoming really annoying to have to plug my ipod mini into the computer in order to play downloaded songs because i dont listen to my ipod mini every day. If anyone can help me with this problem i would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks- VRico

    ok, this is a popular problem, i think the solution is before you download each song, listen to the full thing first, i think thats the solution! give it a try.
