Ipod reseting during song shuffle

When i go through shuffle within an artist/genre category, my ipod constantly shuts off, brings up the apple logo and comes back on? It happens a lot more recently. Please advise.

Ipod resets during song update

When I connect the iPod to the PC and start updating songs, the ipod reboots after a while.
Not just that, but the ipod will show something like 1gb of used space and only 50 songs (just an example, it hasn't gotten this serious.)
worst... when this happened the first time i tried restoring the ipod, and it died. updating the firmware resulted in an ipod with only manual disk mode accessible.
i've tried both frontal and back USB ports, nothing worked. any ideas ?

Quoting the following page : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330174&sd=RMVP
a. In Windows Explorer, right-click your hard-disk, and then click Properties.
b. Click the Hardware tab.
c. Click the hard disk, and then click Properties.
d. Click the Policies tab.
e. Click to clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box, and then click OK two times.
did this to the iPod and everything worked fine while transfering 500 or so files.

60GB pod crashes and resets itself during song shuffling

To my dismay I twice experienced that my 60GB iPod resets itself as I switch track. I hear the hard drive spin down instantly and the screen blanks to the white apple logo on black. What gives? Why does it do that? The thing is 5 hours old merely. I tried restoring and wiping it just in case. Runs 1.2.

Hi! The exact same thing happened to me. I ended up deleting the albums' picture in iTunes, and it stopped crashing. Good luck!

Ipod resets during sync

I can't get a good sync with my 5g 30gb. while syncing, it will automatically reset itself. I've tried a repair with copy trans doctor and it does the same thing, so the operation will not finish.

I am getting ready to send my classic back as well. Are you waiting for them to fix it or just getting rid of it? I had the 80g Video & loved it. I don'tknow why I was in such a rush to get this one. I am thinking of sending it back & trying to find a Video some where. As much as this one drives me nuts, I still hate to be without one.
I guess what I am wondering is, do I hold out that they can improve the calssic or try to find a Ipod video somewhere?

IPod resetting during first charge-up.

Hello, sorry for potentially reposting this, but I don't beleive it's been addressed.
Just this afternoon i picked up a brand new video iPod. I installed the software, restarted my computer, and then connected the iPod to the computer. I've left the iPod connected for over an hour and a half, and since the very first minute it has been resetting itself about once a minute, and giving me the sad iPod symbol. Unfortunately, all help topics on the apple page haven't helped me out at all.
Also, within the last few minutes, when it resets, there's a loud clicking noise. Seeing as how I haven't handled an iPod in years, I don't know if this is normal or not. Any help?

Sounds like you have a bad hard drive. If you can't do a Restore of the software (using the iPod updater) - you need to take it to an Apple store or the place where you bought it.
Sorry!

My iPod skips during songs and is very delayed. I did the restore option multiple times but my problem persists. Help!

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and therefore I can not download the new software. I did the restore option multiple times and my iPod still skips in the middle of songs, suddenly takes me out of a playlist, and is extrememly delayed. Anyway I could fix this?

If you already restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.

IPod pauses during songs

My iPod (5th Gen) frequently pauses for about 10 seconds while playing songs. Has anyone else experienced this?

Have you tried the 5 R's yet? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It seems like you might need to restore your iPod and or re-install iTunes.

IPod resets during video

Whenever I watch a TV episode on my iPod 80gb (Such as Family Guy or Chappelle Show) I run into a few issues on my iPod.
1. The episode always starts where I left off, never at the beginning.
2. When I press the back button, which either rewinds or restarts the episode, the screen freezes for about three seconds and restarts the iPod (the apple logo comes up).
This is incredibly frustrating because it happens every time! I cannot fast forward/rewind/or start from beginning without my iPod restarting.
Has anyone encountered this issue, if so is there any way to fix it? Or am I basically going to have to live with it?
-Thanks

I have got exactly the same problem with my iPod 30GB; as soon as I can, I'll update to 1.2.1. Hope it will solve the problem, but I don't know...

Ipod disconnects during song transfer--HELP!!!

while i am updating my ipod with music, it will automatically disconnect itself from my PC, and of course, the update stops. it's frustrating. does anyone think it is worth it to send the ipod in for repair? i would rather fix it on my own, and with the help of others.
thanks to whoever might be able to help!!!

Your computer probably has more than one USB - try a different one.
USB, I think, has a better record on this than Firewire. Bad Firewire ports are common - wouldn't hurt for you to try a different USB before trying more complicated stuff.
Do you get any messages when the iPod disconnects? Have you updated to the latest XP itunes and iPod updater?
Have you restarted XP, lately? SOmetimes it helps to start fresh.

IPod Nano Resets during shuffle

I have my songs shuffling and as it ends the song sometimes it will reset and I will see the Apple logo screen and when I turn it back on i have to start the shuffle all over. I was wondering why it keeps doing that. Usually it occurs when I've been listening to around half the songs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have activated the "repeat one" options. Check the manual of your nano (because I am not sure of the model) to find the procedure to de-activate.

IPod shuffle 2nd gen not recognized in Mac either Finder or iTunes (but is detected and works perfectly fine on Windows)... i tried using iPod Reset Utility, but no luck...

i've been working on this for the past few days, and still no luck... iPod Shuffle 2nd generation (i know it's old).... not detected in my home MacBook... but works perfectly fine on Windows....
i tried using iPod Reset Utility, soooo many times... and i only had twice the luck of having it formatted... but even though it is formatted, it still isn't recognized in iTunes or even in Finder.... other than the 2 times of having it formatted using iPod Reset Utility, i had seen all the reuslts, like: Error ressetting the ipod blah blah: iPod has been reset, keep plugged in, until reset is completed blah blah: iPod has been reset, unplug and replug your iPod blah blah... etc, i have seen all the possible effects of iPod Reset Utility, but still no luck getting it recognized in iTunes or Finder....
and then , i tried connecting it to a windows computer (but i didn't restore it from there, and just ejected it from windows iTunes), after ejecting it from windows, and then connecting it to Mac, it worked miraculuosly.... perfectly synced and able to put music and listen to them... ejected iPod... after a few minutes, i wanted to add some other music, but when i connected it again, Bam!!!! not working again... even after connecting to windows, it didn't work anymore... guess the magic trick has been doomed...
i badly need help... puhlease... (^_^)

Hey, I hear ya and can sympathize. I have the same
issue. The difference is that my computer can "see"
my ipod but it refuses to show up in itunes itself;
therefore, I can't put anything on the ipod (from the
computer) and vice-versa. Apple support is clueless.
This is very frustrating to say the least. Itunes
keeps telling me that my ipod is synced to a
"different" computer, which isn't true. It's the
same computer. The difference is that when I first
got the 'pod and used it with this computer (and
everything worked fine), I was running XP. I
installed Vista and after that, all the problems
started. If I ever get this resolved, believe me,
I'll post something here.
I'm guessing that somehow, itunes "sees" what
computer it's hooked to by "looking" at something in
the OS. Change the OS and it "thinks" it's seeing a
"different" computer.
Try reformatting it.
