IPod nano 6th generation jumps some songs

My 6th generation iPod touch in certain songs, it jumps to others I guess because it can`t play them. I called the Apple Support and the replace it for a new one.
And now this new one it does the same stuff. I search for those songs that can`t be played and I looked the format and all of my songs have the same, Audio MPEG layer 3.
I also tried to restore it and I did it twice but the problem persists.
What can I do?
Thanks

I am having huge problems synching my new Nano 6th Gen to my Mac while 2 other earlier Ipods work perfectly. My problem relates to the fact that I use smart playlists and their contents get all messed up on the new Ipod when I try synching. Symptoms include both missing songs on the Ipod and songs in artist name sequence instead of sequence on Itunes, both problems that raise questions about quality of software released for 6th gen. I went to talk to genius at Apple store and he indicated that Apple is moving away from smart playlists on Ipods and so suggested that I create dumb playlists on Itunes and copy the contents of my smart playlists to the dumb playlists and then synchronize those to the Ipod. That does work but it's a pain in the behind each time I add any songs to Itunes that get added to the smart playlists as I have to go through this whole time consuming process just to get the songs to show up on my Ipod. I also hope that Apple gets the synching problem fixed quickly.

  • IPod Nano 6th generation is missing songs

    Hi,
    I synced my iPod Nano 6th gen to iTunes, and for some reason it either completely misses almost all of my songs, or it thinks that it's playing them because it is totally quiet for the length of the song. I don't know why as all of my songs work on my iPod Touch 4th generation,iTunes and my Windows 8.1 Phone.
    On the iPod, it only plays about 8 songs in my 96 song playlist, and when it reaches a string of songs it can't play, it just looks like I keep pressing the "next" button. The album artwork for all of the songs comes up, but almost none play that actual song itself. Also, if I go specifically into "Artists" and choose a song, it does the same thing where it just skips through songs until it can find one it can play. The screen between songs switches so fast that I never have time to read the title of the song fully.
    Does anyone know the solution to this?
    Thanks

    I have been driven nuts by this problem, and I finally cracked it today after reading through the forgoing and tearing my hair out.  Look at page 29 of the user manual, at the screen shots at the top.  Ignore the left one, just get your nano to show the middle screen.  No shuffle icons, none of the stuff you want, huh? Wrong! The one on the right of the page, the one you want, is there, out to the right!
    So if you scroll the visible screen left, you get the third screen, the one that is on the right side of the page.  That's the one that has that shuffle control.  Mission accomplished, almost!  Just tap the shuffle icon.
    This is a fault on the part of the manual writers, who clearly had to know the nano backwards, but who, as a result, didn't spoon-feed us enough. All it took was "Oh, by the way, if you want the second screen. you need to scroll across to it!"
    Maybe they say it somewhere, but we all know that users don't read the manual, and when they do, they don't do it in a logical and sequential way.  Ah well, five weeks after a doofus shop assistant in Singapore messed it up, I have things going again.  Thanks to those who did the hard work and left the clues!  Me, I just flailed about irrationally until I got lucky

    Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
    I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
    sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

    Found this solution in another thread, what you want to do is go into the Nike Fitness thing, go to run, go to Spoken Feedback and set it to off. This should fix your problems.

  • Issue with Ipod Nano 6th Generation

    Hi,
    I am currently living in Japan and managed to get an iPod nano 6th generation at the Apple Store in Shibuya. However, there are a few things that I am curious as to whether or not other users are experiencing. First, my songs are set to shuffle, and sometimes when I hit next song it will shuffle through 3 or 4 (my shake to shuffle feature is OFF). Once it gets to the song, it might show one songs cover but play a different song. Also, if a song is playing and I blank out the screen, the next song will sometimes play, but sometimes it won't at all. When I wake up the screen it appears as if the next song should be playing but it isn't. So far, this has been a little disappointing. Does this sound like a problem with the software and are others experiencing anything like this? Thanks in advance!

    What you are describing sounds like tracks that have been put on your nano that are not authorized to play them.
    First, go to itunes and sort your music by "Kind" if this column is not showing, right click and select the kind column to show up. Sort by this column and scroll down, you will most likely see some music where the kind is "Protected AAC" or something like that. If you look on your nano, you will see that the tracks that are not playing are the ones where their kind is "Protected AAC".
    If this all ends up being right, you need to reauthorize your computer to play your music. Connect your ipod, then in itunes select 'Store>Deauthorize this computer'. Then, select 'Store>Authorize this computer'. Then restore your ipod and resync all your tracks. Once you are done, they should be authorized and you should be able to play them on your ipod.

  • My ipod nano 6th generation turns off after she tells me the screen is dimming than ipod goes off.

    I wanted to know if there is someone at Apple that can give me some guidance on how to use my ipod nano 6th generation.  I am not sure if I am working it properly or if there is something wrong with it.
    I cannot get back to home page; I shut it off and on and it just stays on same page.  I cannot take the voice constantly interrupting the song or functions;
    When you set an album in play it will just play the first song over and over never going to next song.  The genius interrupts and starts randomly playing different songs; when you select a song the voice comes and and tells you the screen is dimming and then seconds later it turns off.
    I have tried to read the directions put the ipod won't allow me to follow.
    Please help!

    Is VoiceOver turned on?  See here for more help on how to turn it off if need be.

  • I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

    I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

    The problem may have been in how you transfered it.  You didn't go into much detail.  Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below.  Note Paragraph 5.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • How do I play all tracks on an album sequentially on iPod nano 6th generation ?

    I have an ipod nano 6th generation. I want to play all tracks on an album sequentially (as if I was playing a CD) without having to select each one in turn. On my ipod nano it repeats the same song and wont move to the next one automatically. can anyone help ?

    The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen.  While playing a track, swipe to the right to bring up additional controls including the scrubber bar, as well as the repeat and shuffle otpions. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

  • The volume increase button is stuck on my iPod nano (6th Generation) and I can't turn the volume up. Is there a way to fix it?

    I have the iPod nano 6th generation, and I have had it since Christmas 2011 so it isn't that old; recently I went to listen to my music and found that the volume increase button is stuck (basically it's like when you press the volume button down to increase the volume, except it is stuck down like that and won't come back up) but it was only stuck about 3/4 of the way down. For about a week this was ok, I just had to press the button harder to make it go down and increase the volume, but now it won't increase the volume at all and it feels and looks as though the button is stuck the whole way in, even when I press the button with some force. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could fix it or if I need to take it to an apple store for them to fix it?!
    Sorry if the way I have explained the problem is confusing, it's difficult to explain but it's extremely frustrating.

    This happened to me a few weeks ago.  Instead of taking it to the Apple store and paying $ the 99 service charge ( I did give Apple 139.00 13 months ago! for this ipod), I saturated the end of a q-tip w/ WD 40 and carfefully rubbed around the perimeter of the power button.  I waited a half hour and then cleaned of the excess WD 40.  This unstuck my power button.  I guess the WD 40 dissovled all the dirt under and around (also the consrtuction of the buttons is done w/ double sided tape-- maybe a design issue) the button.  A friend tried isopropyl alcohol w/ great results.  Try this before you give Appple any more $$ or get a new ipod.  It's been 6 wks. and my button functions perfectly,

  • Adding photos from iphoto to ipod nano 6th generation

    I want to take photos from iphoto (mac os x 10.6.8) and put them on my ipod nano 6th generation.  I can't find anything on itunes that mentions photos and my ipod doesn't show up in iphoto or applications.

    Thanks. I followed through with those instructions. Now when I go to sync, I don't want everybody else's music to show up on my ipod.  How do I sync? And if I check sync only checked songs, will it sync ALL checked songs? We have alot of songs, but I don't want all of them.  How can I manually sync?
    Thanks!

  • TS3700 help please my ipod nano 6th generation just shuts itself off

    I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
    I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
    Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
    The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Pedometer

    I have a brand new iPod Nano 6th Generation, which has the built in Pedometer into it. For some reason, when I go to use it with Nike+ and syncing it to iTunes it doesn't work. None of the Walks I have done actually go onto the Nike+ website. Nike+ claims I have no devices.
    I have it set to Automatically Send to Nikeplus.com
    I already have a Nike+ account, and I have alone tried to sync walks. It claims there sync'd, and I click Visit Site, but it takes me to http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/?token=blahblah=2&wtype=pedometer, but then I click around and there are no devices.

    I have a nano6.
    I am not able to synchro.
    But reading Nike guide on the nano6 I have found that, you can read it on this discussion:
    ipod nano and nike plus
    or :
    (http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/active)
    “Nike+ Active is taking a break.
    The site will be down while we move to the new Nike+. Your steps, runs and gym workouts are safe and sound. When Nike+ Active returns this fall, your data will be there -- on a platform that lets you do more than ever before. Thanks for conquering the world with us, and, in the meantime,check out the new Nike+.”
    Is this the answer? It is so...big that I am not even convinced. Have they closed the site for 2 month or more just to develop a new site!?
    other cases in:
    TA24232 Nike+ temporarily unavailable
    nike+ website temporarily unavailable
