IPod mini wont play iTunes songs

I have recently downloaded 15 songs from iTunes. My iPod mini won't play them on it, but they will play will play on my computer. When I try to listen to them on the iPod it just skips over them and goes to the next song.

I've seen more posts about skipping
b purchased music
on the iPod, but there does not seem to be a universal solution yet.

to see if someone comes up with a fix.
You've updated now and that was non-destructive. Alas, it didn't work.
Before you try restoring (completely wipes your iPod clean), you should try Resetting. You might loose some information, but it's worth a try.
Read this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61018
In the bottom half you will find links to resetting and restoring.
Try resetting a few times. If that's not successful, it's up to you trying to restore or wait until there's a fix that works.
I can say it's not a general problem. I upgraded to iT5 (and 5.0.1), purchased music, transferred it to my 1st gen. iPod and everything works flawless.

  • Ipod mini wont play downloaded songs

    My ipod mini is not playing any or should i say ALL of the songs that I have bought from Itunes. It started acting up after I down loaded the new version of Itunes. Can't seem to get any help from Apple...I need to know what is wrong and how I can fix it. I mean not one song that I have purchased from the time I bought my ipod mini 3 months ago to today. HELP!!!!

    Try burning the music to a CD, then ripping it back into iTunes and loading the ripped version to your iPod. A friend of mine had the same problem.

  • HELP ME- ipod mini wont play songs!

    i have rescently moved houses and had to load my ipod mini on to a new computer and new i tunes list. I re loaded all my music on to the new list and transfered my ipod to factory settings to wipe all my old music. But when i went transfer all of my music to my ipod everything went bad!
    my ipod says it has the songs on it but when i go to play them it plays none of them and just skips them all! Also when my ipod is connected to itunes i cant play the songs that are said to be in my ipod, but all the songs in my library play perfectly! (which are the same as the ones in my ipod)
    please help me im going crazy!!!

    Hello Anna,
    Have you any tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store? Did you authorise the new computer: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation you could also have a look here: Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod
    One last thing, when your iPod is connected to iTunes and you try to play it through the computer do you get Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen? This would mean that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences.

  • New mac wont play itunes songs from old computer and email accounts.

    What is the solution for getting songs to deauthorize from a old account that is no longer active?
    I recently used migration assistant for a new imac. I have found that some of my itunes library wont play for they want the song to be deauthorized by using and old account password and email. What is the solution to this problem?
    and yes I have deauthorized the new imac.
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    John

    If the songs were purchased using different accounts, you need to authorize your computer for (all) the accounts that were used to purchase them. Each purchased song has the account id embedded in the file info. Each track must authorized according to the account credentials with which it was purchased.

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

    First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
    Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

  • IPod Touch wont play music or connet to iTunes!

    My ipod touch wont play music through the headphones or docking station, it only plays music through the actual iPod and it isnt found when i connect to itunes, help!

    - Try here for getting iTunes to see the iPOd:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Try resetting for the other problem:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The try restoring, first from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Installed Itunes: New PC, Windows 7 x64, updated ipod software, click to eject ipod, PC goes to blue screen, dumps data, restarts; songs do not play correctly on ipod. IE: play a song - only first few seconds will play. Some songs play fully, some do not.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • My iPod is not playing the songs that I purchased from iTunes.

    My iPod is not playing the songs that I purchased from iTunes.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts.  The genious bar could not figure out the problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

    My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts).  The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.  Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail.  I've heard this is a video codec problem.

    My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File.  For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

  • HELP PLEASE My NEW iPod Shuffle wont play

    My computer recognizes the iPod, so does ITunes, it says its transferring my songs but when I try to play them the iPod just flashes the error green orange green orange green. I tried to "re-set it" but it just wont play any songs. If I plug it in my computer again it shows that the music is one there. What gives?

    check the box "convert higher bitrate songs to AAC 128", do an autofill, and try again.
