Ipod nano cycles through song titles in playlist:

Gateway Windows XP
When I try to play any song in the "purchased" or "newly added" playlists on my wife's nano pod it cycles through all of the song titles. I cannot get it to play any of the songs I select. It just continues to cycle through all of the titles. I know this is a malfunction because my 30gig Ipod does not function like this. I can select and play any song in any playlist. I'm thinking perhaps there is a setting I need to change.

It doesn't sound like a settings issue to me.
Try resetting the iPod by toggling Hold on and off, then holding Menu adn Select for 6-10 seconds until Apple logo shows up.
If that doesn't work, make sure it has the most up-to-date software (version 1.1.1 released 3-23).
If the problem continues, try restoring the iPod through the iPod Updater. This will wipe the iPod's memory clean, so you'll have to re-put the songs onto the iPod through iTunes.
I hope this helps!

I had the same problem for about 2 weeks and just fixed it tonight! YEAH!! I followed the 5R's and the first 4 did nothing. So, I wasn't very hopeful for the 5th, but I made a back up of my library just in case, downloaded the latest version of iTunes and RESTORED my iPod back to the factory settings and it works beautifully now. No skipping on any songs at all. And, mine didn't matter if they my songs or iTunes songs, it did it to any song that it didn't like. Good luck!

Ipod nano keeps speaking song title, how do i stop this?

my ipod nano 6th gen keeps speaking the song title despite the hints being switched to off, any help would be appreciated.

First, double check and make sure that VoiceOver is off. Check in itunes by clicking the "Configue Universal Access" button and making sure all checkboxes are unchecked.
Then, on the Nano, navigate to the accessibility settings menu and make sure it is off there.
Finally, at the bottom of the settings menu is the "reset settings" option. Do that, then check again.
If after all this it is still doing it, restore the Nano in itunes.
If it is still doing it after that, it is likely that there is some moisture either in your buttons on the device or in the buttons on your headset (if it has them).

IPod nano runs through songs too fast to hear them

Hello!
I'm useless with anything technical so I would be very greatful if anyone can advise me on this or has experienced a similar thing. Thank you very much, Clare

Try resetting the iPod by toggling Hold on and off, then holding Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds, until Apple logo shows up on the screen.
If that doesn't work, try updating the software, if it isn't already. (New software was released 3-23)
A last resort is Restoring the iPod through the iPod updater. This will wipe your iPod's memory, so you'll ahve to re-put all of the songs onto it through iTunes.
I hope this helps!

My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping.

Thank you.

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

IPod Nano repeat setting is off but playlist repeats

My iPod Nano repeat setting is "off" but playlist repeats. How do I stop this?

If you select a playlist, even without the repeat turned on, when you get to the end of the playlist it automatically starts over (just like your car audio system will play track one again after it finishes the last song on a CD).

My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ive restored my Ipod nano and the songs that I've already purchased are now not syncing to my device. How do I get those songs back on the nano?

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

Why can't I get my ipod nano to shuttle songs

I cannot get my ipod nano to shuttle songs.

This is the user guide PDF for the 7th gen nano
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1624/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf
On page 18-19, note the shuffle songs button on the Now Playing screen. It looks like two arrows crossing. Tap that to shuffle songs on the current list.

Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs

Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs and what can I do to control or prevent it?

Seems logical and likely to fix it. Have 3 locations where it was happening and will test and get you your ten points if all tests well. Thanks.

So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct?
Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

Ipod rapidly cycles through all songs in a playlist

It's actually my iPhone4 .. but recently after turning on Match, I go to a playlist, play a song and it cycles through all of the songs. It will eventually stop on a song but it goes through the songs in Music rapidly.
Did I mess up my settings in for Match/iCloud?
Tx :-) Jen

I agree that it seems crazy that this can't be done on an iPhone.
Here is the best work around I have found so far.
(It's much quicker and easier to do than to describe.)
In outline, you make an elementary Automator patch
that uses your playlist folder to create a hard coded playlist on iTunes
then just sync across to your iPhone.
1/ Run Automator on your Mac.
2/ In the Automator library select 'Music'.
3/ Under Actions for 'Music' select "Get specified iTunes items" and drag this into the workflow area.
4/ Using the "Get specified iTunes items" widget in the workflow area, press the "add" button.
5/ This allows you to choose from a menu that will include your playlist folder.
6/ Now under Actions for Music select "Add songs to playlist" and drag this into the workflow area
so that the results of the first widget will feed into it.
7/ In the "Add songs to playlist" widget choose "New playlist". Then enter any name for your new playlist.
8/ Run the patch (takes a fraction of a second).
9/ Sync generated playlist to iphone.
Job done.

IPod cycles through songs

My iPod will often times cycle through, show the song titles then reset itself to the menu screen BUT NOT PLAY THE SONGS. I see the song titles going by on the screen, wait for the songs to start but that's it, they don't start.
What's happening?
Frustrated in Mexico City

Try restoring your iPod.
