IPod Nano. I Shuffle songs then resets by its self

I put my iPod nano to shuffle then i skip a song and then it resets by its self.

It may not solve the problem, but just turn shuffle off when you're listening to your music so that you can hear it, at least.

My IPod no longer shuffles songs within playlists that are clearly set to shuffle. It is about 3/4 full so I thought of maybe compressing the files to get more space. Do you think that is the problem and if that might help?

Storage space on the iPod would not affect shuffled playlists or playlist shuffling, though substantially full iPods may wind up skipping songs on larger playlists after a while, and require a restart. As for compressing the files themselves, you can automatically re-encode files to a lower bitrate by checking the box on the summary page when your iPod is connected to your PC/Mac.
As for the shuffle problem, after restarting your iPod (hold the center button and Menu for a few seconds, until the Apple logo appears), make sure you're telling the iPod to shuffle the songs in a playlist by repeatedly clicking the center button until the Suffle Menu comes up, then scroll to the right to turn it on. From that song forward, the playlists' contents should be shuffled every time the playlist ends, or is accessed from a new song.
Shuffle does sometimes turn itself off, I've found, so double-check the setting is still on. Also, iPods shuffle by randomly assigning a playlist order for your songs, which is different from traditional shuffle (on, say, iTunes or Windows Media Player, where the new song is determined at random upon the current track ending. The iPod only chooses a random order of songs when you shuffle, to conserve battery life and queue up songs coming up on the playlist in the event of a shock).

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.

After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs

After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs. The stop shuffling after any interruption occurs. So If play in the card, get a call, answer it then go back to the music, I have to manually select shuffle. This did not occur prior to the IOS update.

WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
1. Use the 128 bit setting
2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.

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.

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

My Ipod Nano keeps repeating songs while in shuffle mode

As the thread title states.My settings are on for shuffle when I shake my ipod,but thre same song repeats itself unless I fast forward to the next song.Which then repeats itself.Any help would be very much appreciated..

Have you got the settings on iTunes to how you want? Often the iPod carries over these settings. If you are not aware of the second music menu when you are playing music, it has the shuffle icon, repeat icon and Genius icon. You have to tap whilst looking at an album cover, and then slide to the side to get to it. If that isnt the case, in settings, there is a section where it asks you what you would like to shuffle, songs, artists, albums or whatnot. You may want to switch that off.

Help! Ipod won't shuffle songs, the song cover flow disappeared!!

Anyone, please help me. I am new to Ipod. I have 8 GB Ipod Nano, bought two weeks ago. I recently purchased more songs and currently have 50 songs on my play list on my computer. So last night after I bought the songs and transfered and sync all those songs, my Ipod worked fine (I could listen to all the songs, shuffle the songs, see all the cover flow, etc). This morning, after I fed my kids, I grabbed my Ipod and started listening to my songs and it worked fine - nothings wrong, until in the middle of playing one song, all of the sudden the song stopped playing. I thought the battery had died, but when I checked, the battery was still half full. So I went back to the menu button and tried to shuffle my songs but it didn't do anything/didn't play the song. My Ipod just showed that I have 50 songs on my shuffle songs. Then I checked the song cover flow, and it showed NO pictures of the song album (before this happened, when I check the cover flow my Ipod show the pictures of music/CD albums of a singer, but now it just blank!!). I already restart the computer, unplug the USB cable, restart my Ipod, re-sync my Ipod and still it doesn't work. I can't shuffle the songs, Ipod won't play the songs (though it shows that I have 50 songs on playlist), the song cover flow disappeared! I don't know what to do. Please help!! Thank you.

Ok so do the songs play and show up ok in iTunes? Were you playing the iPod through a set of speakers and not connected to the computer?
Have you tried performing a reset on the iPod yet? Or a restore on the iPod yet?

IPod Nano skips certain songs

My iPod Nano, version 1.0.2 Mac, model MD480LL, skips a handful of specific songs. When listening to music, one of these songs comes up for half a second and then skips to the next song, whether on shuffle or not. When I select one of these songs from the menu it does the same thing. These certain songs do not play on my iPod Nano at all. However, they play perfectly fine on my iMac, iPad, iPhone, and even my old 2nd gen iPod touch. My Nano is the only one that has this problem. I have tried restarting the Nano and restoring it, and the same songs still won't play. I've tried everything I could think of. I've serached through countless forums and have found many people with similar problems (but none exactly like mine) and I have tried every suggestion in each of these forums and none have helped. If you have any suggestions, any ideas at all, please don't hesitate to share.

First off, does your iPod only skip on songs that you have purchased from the iTunes Store? Or does it vary from some of those purchases, to some songs from CD's you've imported?
Also, does there seem to be a pattern, where your iPod only skips on particular songs, or is it ever-changing; for example, a few songs skipped yesterday, and now they don't skip anymore, but are replaced by different songs.
Have you tried restoring your iPod? For more info, take a look here -> Restoring your iPod to Factory Settings
If that attempt doesn't work, then try turning off your iPod's EQ settings.
Go to "Settings > EQ" on your iPod. If you currently have a specific option set (i.e., "Treble Booster", "Vocal"), then try switching your setting to "Off".
See if that changes anything.
One last question: are the songs playing fine in iTunes, although they may not be playing well on your iPod?

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 full - no songs displayed

Dear nano-users,
I bought the nano just 7 days ago,
first I experienced the disconnect problem, that even if i eject the nano on the display of the nano it told me not to disconnect.
Then I put the software update on it.
Now I don't see the nano on itunes displayed anymore.
Nor does Itunes start up, when I connect the nano by usb.
Even worse:
On the nano display there aren't any songs anymore!
'About'-menu: 0 songs, capacity 3.7GB, available 51.1 MB
I did a reset several times on the nano - but didn't change anything.
Now at the moment I can't use it at all.
Your comments or any help highly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure you have iTunes 6.0.4 and iPod Updater 2006-03-23.
Try putting your iPod into disk mode before connecting and attempting the restore.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If you are not able to restore your iPod nano, try connecting it to your computer and waiting for your iPod to become recognized by Windows.
Once it is recognized by Windows, open up My Computer and look for either an Apple iPod or a Removable Disk. Right click on it, then click on format, then click on quick format, then click on start.
Usually, when you do this, your computer will become really slow to respond to your commands. It's important to be patient with it, and not to click on the same thing too many times. Doing so will only make the process take longer.
Best wishes,
CG
P.S. I've been hearing a lot of talk about problems with the iPod nano and the latest updater. Apple's tech support is fee-based, but you do get 1 free call within the first 90 days. If you're not able to resolve this issue through the steps above, you might want to consider giving them a call about this. Make sure you get your case number from them before they end the call, though, in case you have any more problems regarding this issue.

My iPod nano skips some songs for no apparent reason

When i try to play songs on my iPod nano 7th gen, it skips some of them without playing.
The album art and track name shows up for a split-second and then it goes to the next track. Sometimes it skips several tracks by the same artist at a stretch. The songs the ipod keeps skipping play perfectly on iTunes. I tried erasing all the songs and sopying them again, but it didn't solve the problem. (I haven't tried restoring the ipod yet)

Hi there,
You may want to check and see if the shake to shuffle feature is enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
