IPod randomly stops uploading songs

I have just restored my iPod (iTunes asked me to) and I have made sure all the options are correct, but for some reason, my iPod stops uploading songs (and is very hot). Sometimes it stops at 34, 72, 110, etc. I also have the most recent iTunes and iPod Software Updater. I don't know whether it's a solvable problem or my iPod is completely broken. Any help would be great.

Yes!!! Me too--Got the folder w/exclamation pt, Restored iPod (a second time after this problem occurred, just to make sure I did it right the 1st time), try to download songs and it'll only do about 5-7 at a time (I don't have as many as a lot of people, but 1200 songs 5 at a time HURTS)! HELP!!! (sorry. very frustrated--this has lasted a week!)

IPod Randomly Stops Playing Songs

Hi, Some songs on my iPod Touch running version 3.1.2, (mostly songs that I downloaded a long time ago) stop playing abruptly about 30 seconds before the song is over. The iPod says that the song is playing, but no audio is coming out. It is very annoying, and I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or had found a solution. Thank you for helping me.
P.S. The songs play fine on my 4th generation iPod, (A.K.A. the "iPod Click Wheel") so I know the files are not corrupt.

No, I don't. Even if I did, that would not explain why no audio comes out of the speakers / headphones.

IPod random stopping during songs

Hi folks, this is my first issue with my iPod since I got it, I have a 20 Gig iPod. Recently it has started to stop randomly during songs, pausing for no good reason. I've been looking for how to troubleshoot this issue, but I'm hoping someone can help me.

that happened to me also, with the 20g. i was getting ready to call about it when it stopped happening. no idea why...

Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod? If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

How do I get iPod to stop between songs?

How do I get iPod to stop between songs? A simple thing. I want to play a selection, then have the iPod stop, then select another song, have my iPod play it and stop, and so forth. What am I missing?

You aren't missing anything. Under normal playback conditions it isn't possible to do what you want.
The only way would be to put individual songs or selections of songs into playlists.

Why won't that apps that weren't built into my iPod randomly stop working?

Ipod has stopped putting songs into the recently played list, Any ideas Y?

My ipod has stopped counting songs and also now wont put any songs into the recently played playlist and its really annoying- Any ideas on how i can sort this out?

I am also having this (or a similar) problem. For years I had an Auto Playlist of Podcasts with "Play Count is Zero"/Live updating rules so they were removed each time I synced my iPod after I listened to them. Recently, the Playlist has stopped updating. That is, the podcasts stay in the playlist because the play counts never update. They show in the podcast library with 0 plays no matter how many times I play them on my iPod.
I also noticed that none of songs I play have their playcounts updated in the Library after I play them on my iPod. All the syncing seems to be going one way (from the PC to the iPod and not the other way around). I picked a song with a playcount of 1 and it over and over just to test it out and no dice/no update.
Any clues? Is there a setting I am missing? I tried resetting the iPod.... And the iPod played tunes/casts are also not appearing in the Recently Played list....

Disk error...Ipod stops uploading songs after 8

I just bought a new ipod... it starts uploading songs fine and normally and then it just stops after 8 songs..and a box with "disk read error......" comes up. I have read and reread all the support info...and have updated windows as much as possible...also i have uninstalled and reinstalled i tunes..and the updater...also reset the ipod...can anyone help please?? I AM so frustrated... or has anyone had a similar problem??

You're lucky - mine stops after 2 or 3. The only workaround I have found is to stop syncing, use the iPod (listen to it) and come back later. Each time I do this it works fine for 1 or 2 new song loads and then I get the disk error. It is as though with any more it is getting "confused".
Any suggestions.

IPod randomly stops playing?

Sometimes, if I am listening to music while using Safari for example, the iPod will stop playing at random and sometimes stops playing and brings me to the menu screen at random.

I have this issue with mobile Safari too. It tends to happen to me while playing a large track, for example a 4 or 5 hour MP3 of a speech, rather than typical ~4 minute songs.
A workaround for me is to pause my Safari activities every 10 minutes or so to bring up the "now playing" iPod screen for about 20 seconds, then back to Safari for another 10 minutes. This method is annoying but ensures uninterrupted iPod playback while multitasking.

80GB iPod Classic stops adding songs at 2599.

I can't add any more songs to my ipod- it stops at 2500-3000 songs and I haven't even used 1/4th of the disk. I thought it might have been my computer, so I tried it on another but to no avail. Anyone heard of this problem?

Can't help you, I'm afraid, just want to let you know I have exactly the same problem with my 160gb, and I've now synched my ipod 7 times now trying different things each time. Nothing works. And each time it takes about 2 hours beofre the synch stops (around a third capacity) and freezes iTunes and Windows.It has never stopped on the same song, so that can't be the problem.
On a few occasions I have noticed something peculiar. When synching stops it shows around 36gb "Audio" and 200mb "Other" synched. However, when I reconnect it it shows that around 1.2gb Audio and 35gb "Other" had been synched!
Why does that happen and what "Other" takes up 35 gb? I only use my iPod for music, nothing else. Cd artwork would not use anywhere near that much.
This is the message I posted a while back. No-one answered.
My iPod 160gb partially synched (around 30%)then iTunes froze. On 2nd attempt after downloading latest version of iTunes, restoring iPod and getting Windows updates it synched around 40% then a window appeared where it stated that a certain track could not be synched. I clicked OK and I was told my synch was complete, but of course it wasn't. On connecting again the iPod itself stated it was synchronising, and then almost immediately it stated it was ejecting. This time it was at no time recognised by iTunes or my computer. I tried again with various USB ports and got the same result.
This is the first time I've synched in at least 6 months. I have never had a problem like this before. I've read that quite a few have experienced freezing issues recently, but didn't see any with the same partial synch thing. Any ideas anyone?

Ipod mini stops playing songs when it hasnt been updated

after a little while off the charger my ipod mini will not play my purchased songs. is there something wrong with it? do i need to get it fixed?

hey yea my ipod mini does the same thing i dont kno
what to do either!
Did you see my post?
Also, try these...
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer...
iTunes
iPod Updater
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they still won't work...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

IPod randomly stops syncing using iTunes

My iPod touch is a 16gb version. For some reason, i have to keep syncing it over and over and over again (2000+ songs) to get it to sync them all. Sometimes it will go for a gb of music and then it will randomly just stop syncing. Sometimes alot less like 2-300mb of syncing. I cant figure out what's causing this.. The first time i synced all my music to it was last night and it didnt stop syncing once. Today for some reason i made lots of changes to my music, so to do a clean sync i reinstalled all the firmware and software for the ipod through itunes, and then i started syncing it again and now for some reason it keeps stopping after a couple hundred songs.. Keep in mind i tried to re-sync everything before i re-installed the software too and it was doing the same thing, the re-install of the software was to see if it would fix the problem. I looked around but not deeply for an anwser to my problem but could not find one. If you have any idea whats causing this can you please let me know?
My computer specs are as follows ( all less than 2 months old )
Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit | Legal :P
Intel Quad Core Q6600 | Processor
EVGA nForce 680i SLI | MotherBoard
EVGA e-Geforce 8800GTS 640mb | Graphics Card
Corsair 3GB DDR2 800mhz | Ram
Seagate 500GB SATA 7200rpm | Hard Drive
OCZ GameXstreme 700watt | Power Supply
Many Fatal1ty fans / raidmax case.
Thanks alot.

I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
Can someone please Help.

I moved all of my music to my new computer and now my ipod touch stops the song at end of it why and how do i fix it easily

i moved all of my music to my new computer and now the songs stop before the end of them or it skips to the next one on the ipod how can i fix it easily

Assuming your library was in the standard layout before you started move the rest of the iTunes folder to the root of the external drive, move the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to library file at \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
See Make a split library portable for some background.

Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
The problem continued.
I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.
