My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs; what's up with this?

My iPod Classic is cutting off the ends of songs...just silence. The play indicator shows that there's more data there but it's just blank. The songs play fine on iTunes and the data on my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 11.02.26). And it's not always the same song... It's like random. So it's got to be a bug in the iPod Classic firmware. Any help from Apple? Get a Zune?

Is it always the same songs that get cut off? So the question is, after you do a Restore, when you re-sync songs back to the iPod, is it always the same songs that get cut off? Or are they different songs each time? Try doing a Restore and re-sync several times...
If they are the same songs, that points to a problem with the song files. Maybe there is data corruption on your computer's hard drive, that caused the song files to become corrupted in a way that iTunes on the computer can still handle, but the iPod's software cannot. The corrupted songs stay the same.
If they are different songs, that points to a problem on the iPod. If a Restore does not fix the problem, then it may be data corruption caused by the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable. When you do a re-sync after Restore, the data is not being stored properly on the iPod due to a hardware problem. It randomly affects different songs each time during the re-sync

Ipod nano shuts off in the middle of songs

Received a 6th generation ipod nano for Christmas, and it frequently stops playing in the middle of songs and shuts down. Anyone have any ideas? Battery power is not the issue as it has happened with the battery at nearly full charge, and also with it at less than half charge. I can usually turn it back on again, but sometimes it is more difficult. Headphones are fully plugged in so that is not the issue. Is the device defective?

If you are positive the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones are flush with the Nano, also check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.
Otherwise, bring it in for service as it may be a hardware malfunction with the headphone jack.

Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

HT1616 My Ipod Nano 6th generation loses its calibration everytime it shuts off.

My Ipod Nano 6th generation loses its calibration everytime it shuts off. It shows calibration successful each time, but after going to sleep and waking back up its says 'uncalibrated'. Do I need to return the Ipod?

I had the same problem. Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely. Push until they click in place. It solved the problem. The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep. Hope this helps.

ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

Can You Get iPod To Stop/Pause At The End Of Each Track

I really need my iPod to stop/pause at the end of each track/song, but it insists on playing right through a playlist one song after another. Does anybody know if there is a way of achieving this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the manuals about this. My iPod is new and is the 60GB color screen model. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi boaster, is this an apple accessory, or where else will I find one? When you say there will be some manual intervention, I presume you have to press the button to actually stop it at the end of each track??
Dave W. I've tried your suggestion and it works fine. Its also good because it keeps iPod within the correct playlist. The original suggestion of one track per playlist also works, but unfortuanatly iPod defaults to go back to the main menu at the end of every playlist so you then have to navigate back to where you need to be. Dave, it looks like your suggestion is the answer at the moment, many thanks, although would like to know more about this 'airclick' remote please. Cheers.

I can't unlock my ipod nano 4th generation. The screen is still working, I can sync to my computer and I can see when it is charging but it stays in the mode of being locked even after I unlock it at the top.

Ipod nano 7g plays on the dock adapter but there is no sound

Hi, posting on behalf of a parent. Recently bought the ipod nano 7g and bought the lightning 30 pin adaper. When plugged into the stereo the ipod plays as the song timer advances but there is no sound coming through. Any suggestions what to try. I did advise buying a new adapter in case it is faulty.

Check with the manufacturer of the stereo to see if their device is compatible with the adaptor.

My iPod Nano is stuck on the Apple logo

My iPod Nano is stuck on the Apple logo. I have reset and restored it multiple times to no avail. When I slide my finger of the scroll wheel I can hear the clicking meaning that it's actually navigating the menus behind that logo, it even plays music. It can enter disk mode and diagnostic mode fine as well. I can't turn it of though, it just get a little darker when the Play button is held. It's a 5G Nano.
What can I do to fix this?

If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.
Regards.

Try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
A Nano and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPad, iPhone) use different drivers.

If I trade-in my old iPod nano in-store for the discount, will it apply to something that is already on sale?

I want to trade in my old iPod nano (2nd gen) for the in-store discount, and then buy a new iPod touch. If the Touch is already on sale, will the trade-in discount apply ON TOP of the sale price?

I see no disclaimer on the Apple site that says you can't combine today's sale price with other other discounts. However, you have to ask Apple for sure.

Is true that I can change my ipod nano 1 generacion for the new ipod nano in any store?

i want to know if is true if I can change my ipod nano 1 generacion for the new ipod nano in any store?

No, you have to send the iPod into Apple in exchange for a 6G Nano. See this page for more information.
