Ipod playing at random part in song after on pause

I pressed pause on my ipod and came back to it about 1/2 an hour later. I pressed play and it started playing somewhere different in the song! Near to the start, but not at the start!
I just updated my software-however I updated it while the ipod was plugged in...maybe I should not have done that?

It's possible that you triggered the touchpad to do something while you had it in your pocket. I can work all the controls on my 5th gen unit through the fabric of every pair of slacks I've tried it with. (I also have a hard plastic case that covers the whole thing except the ports and click wheel, which makes it easier to do things by feel.)

  • IPOD Skipping to a random part  of songs

    Hi people,
    I have a 5th generation iPod. Recently since installing the latest patch 1.2.1 I've noticed from time to time, my iPOD while playing a playlist, after completing a song will start the next song, (duh wait for for the problem ) but not from the start of it.
    I have been unable to replicate this problem so I am unsure what the cause is. Sometimes it will skip tot he middle part of a song sometimes to the end. Clicking fast forward would skip to a random part of the next song.
    Starting the song again will fix it, but I find this annoying as I turn my wheel lock on while playing.
    Anyone know what's going on?
    I have tried restoring my iPOD once but that did not fix the problem.
    Regards,
    Bobs_Pizza

    Here's how to solve this problem for ALL songs
    left click your first song [in your music library]
    now scroll down to your last song, hold shift, and left click the last song
    right click and click "get info"
    click OK after the warning message [for editing multiple files at a time]
    disable the "remember playback position" option
    connect your iPod, and this should do the trick!
    also, your iPod doesn't just remember that option from iTunes, it also remembers your EQ preset for certain songs and also volume adjustment for certain songs [-100% to +100% in case the song is too loud]

  • Ipod Plays 2 seconds of a song, the freezes 3/4 seconds, then plays fine?!

    Basically ive got the latest firmware, my Ipod plays the two seconds at the start of any song.
    The thing then freezes for about 4 seconds!
    The ipod photo then continues to play the song quite happily?!
    It seems to do it every time i use it. Is it due to the amount of music I have on it (almost full / 30 gb)? I guess its not. Im lost .
    Any ideas??

    Yeah I had to restore it . Shame, had a lot of music that i now have to put back on. Oh well, problem solved .

  • IPod plays 3 seconds of a song, then skips to middle of next song

    I've had this (30GB Black video) iPod for about a week and just started having this problem yesterday. Every song I go to it will play about 3-5 seconds of that song and then skip to the very middle of the next song. I don't know what to do. I have about 150 songs, and about 15 podcasts, and 4 videos - don't know if that has anything to do with it...
    Any help is appreciated.

    you probably have some corrupt songs or the ipod software is corrupt. to solve this isssue, first restore the ipod. click here to see how,
    next you want to import a few new songs into itunes and load only those songs, if the issue is gone than it was corrupted songs. click here
    to see how to configure the ipod to manually manage mode so that you can manually transfer only the new songs.

  • IPod stuck on same starting shuffle song after sync

    I have the iPhone 3G with the latest 2.2.1 firmware but this is a recurring problem. After each sync, I notice that when I play music, it always starts with the same song every time (it's on shuffle mode always). If I remember correctly, it didn't work like that before but somewhere along the firmware upgrades, something changed and now this is the default (and annoying) behavior. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

    don't have a workaround - but its a me too

  • Ipod shuffle skipping first part of songs

    I found another post but it had been archived with no apparent resolution. I've owned a 1st gen shuffle for 18 months and I notice it's now skipping the beginning of songs as it runs through the playlist. Sometimes it starts a song at the end then goes to next song. I've tried re-installing the software, changing playlists etc but nothing works. Suggestions greatefully received. Thx alan

    I've recently started to experience this.
    I've had my Shuffle for some time (bought it not long
    after they first came out) and had not problems with
    it.
    I **think** this started happening after a Shuffle
    software update. I've tried restoring it from within
    iTunes but the problem hasn't gone away.
    I'm using a Mac with up to date OS and iTunes.
    Anyone out ther able to help - it's really annoying
    as every song starts about haplf way through.
    Have you tried the Reset Utility? Follow directions EXACTLY...

  • My ipod click skips to random songs after playing 10 seconds of a song

    my ipod click skips to random songs after playing 10 seconds of a song and it won't reset either, can anyone help?
    ipod click   Windows 2000  

    There are three possible causes of skipping music after playing a bit of the song:
    1) the music on your computer is munged
    2) the music was munged as it transferred to your iPod
    3) the iPod is 'confused'
    Listen to a couple songs on your computer - the same ones that are skipping on your iPod. Are they okay? Scratch problem 1 - otherwise you have some reripping to do, assuming you haven't backed them up.
    Next, reset your iPod. If the music is still skipping then the fastest fix is to use your restore/upgrade software to restore the iPod. This will erase the music and re-install the iPod's operating system which will take care of possible problems 2 and 3.
    If the iPod isn't resetting - first make sure you are following the reset instructions for your iPod. There are different methods for different generations. Also, sometimes it is best to reset with the iPod plugged in. Finally, make sure you don't have the hold button set.

  • Ipod skips 4-5 random songs after each sync

    I bought my first ipod last thursday and i have had numerous problems starting from the moment itunes attempted to import my existing music library. I have fixed most of the problems myself, but there still two that have me stumped.
    1) After i sync my ipod, there always seems to be a handful of songs that when they come up in a playlist, my ipod will wait a few seconds before skipping the song without playing. I say the songs are random because after i sync it again, the songs that wouldn't play before will work, but a different couple of songs (that worked before) won't play and get skipped. Yes, i already tried the 5 R's and the problem persists.
    2) Twice now, after i pause my ipod and press play again after a few minutes, it will refuse to play any songs at all. It will just skip through them all, much like the first problem. I can get it to play songs again with a reset, but if its going to do this twice a week, i need to find a more permanent solution.
    I did restore my ipod last night and problem #1 still occurred. I have no idea yet about #2, but if anyone else has experienced these problems, help would be extremely appreciated!!

    Anyone want to help at all? This is getting a little ridiculous. Honestly, with all the problems I've been having, especially with itunes, I really don't think I'm ever going to buy an apple product again.

  • Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

    My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
    the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
    i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
    please help out a soldier in need?

    mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

    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):

  • After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

    After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer).  When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod.  Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.
