IPod only updates around 80 songs - then goes dead

What to do...
My ipod mini only uploads around 75 songs and then slows down in uploading taking up to about 10 minutes for one song. When it reaches around 80 songs it cuts out.
I've reset my ipod, uploaded the new software and such to no avail.
Can anyone help...please?

You could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

Ipod plays only part of song then goes to next song

This has happened to me 2 times.
I have songs in my Ipod shuffle. I download/upload new cd into my library (my library is wholly made up of my personal cds) then put them on my ipod. The ipod shows the new songs and plays them EXCEPT some (most but not all) of the NEW songs loaded stop abruptly and the next song starts.
2 times I have done trouble shooting to find out if I play the same song through my computer (rather than straight from the suffle) if it plays partially or not (the music library on the computer plays the whole song) and both times the computer abruptly shows that my suffle is corrupted. I reset to factory settings and reload my music library and all songs play fine.
I don't want to have to do this every time I upload music -- and I want the entire song to play. What should I do next time I load a cd into my library and onto my suffle???.

I have this problem too. It's happening on 7.6.1 (9). I authorized this computer but they still don't play. They don't even play fully off the cd that I burned from the computer I purchased them on.

Ipod only updated SOME songs...

I listened to about 70 songs, and my Ipod updated something like half of them in Itunes. Why would this be?

Do you have any songs in your library unchecked? The iPod has an option which you'll find in the Summary tab that when set means that it doesn't update unchecked songs: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs

Where is the "Only update checked songs" option in the iPod Preferences

i have itunes 7.0.2 which i assume is the same thing as 7.0 and whenever i plug in my ipod, click on the ipod icon, and go to summary tab, the only options i get are "sync music: All songs or playlists" or "sync music: selected playlists." there's no option for "only sync checked items." it's very frusterating. could you please give me very direct instructions on how to get only checked music onto my ipod? thanksss.

I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

New or modified iTune playlists only play one song then stop.

My wife changed the settings on iTunes last night. New, or modified playlists only play current songs then stop. Existing playlists work normally.

Are the songs on the CD from different artists?
If so, then if you are going into MUSIC -> ARTIST -> Christmas CD and hitting PLAY, it will play the songs from THAT ARTIST on THAT CD, probably only one.
What you'd have to do is go on your iPod: MUSIC -> ALBUM -> Christmas CD. By doing this, you'll play every song from that album regardless of artist.

Nano plays 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one

My ipod nano plays about 30 seconds of a song then goes to the next one. It is very frustrating. Any answers?

Does this happen with every track you try to play or only certain ones? Does it happen to these same tracks in iTunes?
Make sure the Shake to Shuffle feature has not been turned on it Settings -> Music.

Only Update Checked Songs ??? What does this mean?

Hi, I was looking at my iPod preferences, and see the option "Only Update Checked Songs" What does this mean exactly? Has anyone figured it out yet?
I searched the iTunes help file and it just listed stuff about Podcasts.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

OK, my daughter and me both have iPods and only 1 computer to update them, I don't like alot of her music, I was hoping for a way to keep the automatically update setting on my iPod - so when new music was added to my library it would automatically copy those songs to my iPod, but if I didn't like them I could uncheck the songs and after the next update those songs wouldn't be on my iPod anymore.
When we became a two iPod family, I did use the manual update on my iPod for awhile but it became a pain to remember which songs I just added to the library and copy those songs to my iPod.

HT4623 How come my ipod only updates to ios 6.1.6 and not a iso 7 or 8?

How come my ipod only updates to ios 6.1.6 and not an ios 7 or 8?

Because iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor. Your device doesn't have either of those.

Ipod nano 2GB only allowing 44 songs then full

I am trying to import songs from my CD collection and I only have 44 songs on my nano and it says the memory is full. Can someone please help me? There is nothing else on the ipod except songs, no contacts, no photos, nothing else. Please help!!!
hp Windows XP

As it happans I am a wizz on the keboard and can help.
when apple say the iPod nano 2GB can fit what 500 songs?, they estimate this at ACC encoding 128 kbps, at 4 MB per song.
If you have imported your music from CD then it is probally in the uncommpressed format of AIFF, which takes up 20 time more space!!!
iTunes can convert the songs for you, you go to edit>preferences>advanced> here you can choose where you want your music to go after conversion now from here go to importing and , I would suggest using
ACC format at 128 kbps (High Quality)
now back in your library go to edit>select all ( select 1 of the songs first or this will not work) and then click advanced>convert selection to ACC now just let it chew through all of that (it might be an overnight job depending on the number of songs you have being converted).
Now you should delete your ebtire library of the big AIFF files and under file add new folder, and add the folder that you converted your music too (by default this will be C:/documents and setting/my documents/my music
then all of your new compressed songs will come on your library at the same quality as they were but 1/20th the size!!.
if you need any extra help email me at [email protected]

IPhone-only play one song then quits. After update

My Phone seems to have a problem where it only plays one song out of a playlist and maybe 2 seconds out of the next song and it quits the program and goes to the home page. The audio books don't seem to remember to start where they quit also. Worked fine before upgrade. Haven't tried to reset phone yet. Thanks for help.

Upon resyncing with my laptop this am the bug seemes to be gone and both problems have corrected them selfs. All songs play like they should and the audio books do remember where they stopped at.

Help - My 30 GB Ipod only downloads 342 songs...

I have about 490 in my itunes Library, but everytime I go to update my Ipod it downloads 342 songs and then gets "stuck" on 343 and then starts making a grinding noise and freezes up. So then I have to go through the restore process only for it to happen again....and again....and again....and always gets stuck on song 343. I have tried every possible way to download the songs including manually and even by individual song, switching orders that I upload them, etc. But no matter what, #343 freezes it up.
Suggestions please. Thank you in advance.

Okay, then let's try a reinstall of iTunes.
(Although you may have downloaded iTunesSetup.exe again onto your computer, it's not the same if you didn't remove iTunes+QuickTime off your computer using the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility first. So try proceeding onto a full reinstall of iTunes here):
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

My iPod only plays one song at a time

I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
So far, so good.
The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any advice gratefully received.

Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

When people call my phone it only rings once and then goes silent until voicemail picks up?

Is anyone having a problem with their voicemail on Iphone 4s. When people call me it only rings once on their end and then goes silent until my voicemail picks up?

Then get your iPhone checked out by an Apple Genius.. Or you can go online and Apple will check out your iPhone with an App sent via email.............
