IPod resets when selecting playlists.

I recently updated to the 1.1 version of the iPod nano 6th gen. Everything was fine before the update, but afterwards, when I tried to access my playlists, the iPod just reset. Now every time I try to go select a playlist the iPod resets after I hit the playlist icon. What do I do?

That is strange. Have you tried resetting?
Hold down the volume down and the sleep/wake button till the screen goes dark. See what happens after that.
The only other thing would be to connect it to your computer then hold down the volume up, down and sleep/wake button till iTunes tells you it is going to restore it.
let us know what happens
Also, how many playlists have you sync'd with the nano?
What kinds of playlists are in that mix?
If there are smart playlists, what are the criteria you have set in them?

Ipod resets when selecting certain mp3 files

my ipod video 5th generation resets when selecting certain mp3 files ???? As well as certain video podcasts . Whats the deal anyone ?

Is Apple working on a "real" fix for this bug or do we have to live with limited use of our iPod resources?
No one on here really knows (the creators of the programs and software do not visit the Discussions), but Apple could possibly provide a fix in the future. It may not be very "high on their list" of iPod feedback requests of new features, and bug fixes, though, since this isn't an incredibly common problem.
If you'd like to add the the voices and tell Apple about this issue, let them know here on their feedback form: iPod Feedback

IPod resets when selecting Radio (Nano 6th)

When a select the radio option my nano reset. If i select the option without the headphones the ipod said "no radio signal.." after plug-in the headphones the ipod reset. I already reset using volume down and sleep button. Do I have to return my nano? i am using 1.1 software.

Hello moldorf,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You might want to try restoring the iPod to factory settings through iTunes first. If still no change, then yes, your next step would be to return the Nano. Here are steps on how to restore your iPod.

Nike+ iPod resets when selecting "Basic" workout; no other runs available

This is frustrating. I've reset my nano 3g to factory defaults several times, restoring everything from scratch. I don't use nested playlists and I've freed up more than 900MB. I'm running v1.1.3 and it still seems to exhibit this exact behavior after just a few runs:
The iPod will reset whenever I select a "Basic" workout. Afterwards, very few, if any choices will show up under the other workouts (calories, distance, etc). If I try Basic again, it resets again and then NO options show up under any workouts, making it impossible to use the Nike + kit!
I've tried restoring the iPod multiple times and this issue has been ongoing since March of 2008 - a full year.
Any ideas? I do have about 25 playlists, even though none are nested. Is this a quantity of playlists issue and maybe the root folder in the nesting is counted as an additional playlist.
Please help if you have any ideas or solutions! FYI, this problem started back in the original version of the firmware and has occured even after a restore in every version since.

Ok. Here's an update. I actually returned my old nano to Apple, while it was still under warranty, and was able to get a new one. Brand spankin' new...Plug in the nike+, the runs show up. Perform and reset, and the runs are gone again! Same problem!!!
HELP!

My ipod resets when listening to music

my new ipod has started to give me problems. while im listnening to music my ipod will stop playing music and a black screen will show with a spining wheel in the center then it resets and goes to the home screen. when i try to open my music again it does the same thing. to fix it i turn it off and on again or conect it to the computer but the problem comes back again. i have never dropped my ipod or damaged it in any way.. i belive its the operating sistems problem but if anyone know the aswer to my problem please help

It depends on how your iPod is set up to sync music from your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually. If it's automatically, simply remove the tick mark next to "Sync Music" from under the iPod's music configuration pane in iTunes.
To access this pane, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary pane. Now locate the Music pane along the top. Remove the tick mark next to Sync Music and hit Apply. This will remove all content from the iPod. When it has finished, re-select the Sync Music option and again hit Apply to re-sync all your music back over to your iPod from iTunes.

IPod resets when playing movie

So I just picked up my Composite AV Cable for iPod Classic and tried to use it to play a movie (Shaun of the Dead) that I had converted with Handbrake for iPod format. This movie has been on my iPod for a while and I've had no problem playing it before. But now that I've connected the Composite AV Cable, the iPod will reset when I select to play Shaun of the Dead, regardless if the cable is connected or not. Other movies & TV shows (purchased from iTunes, ripped from DVDs, and recorded & exported with EyeTV) work fine. The only difference with Shaun of the Dead is that it doesn't have chapter markers. Is there an issue with iPod Classic & the Composite AV Cable playing movies of a certain length without chapter markers?

What kind of movies are they? Did you download them from iTunes store, or what? Did you have to convert these movies to a format compatible with your iPod? You need to be more specific. If you had to convert your files, then something could've gone wrong with that. Too many variables here. Need more info.

Shuffle songs when selecting playlist by genre

When I choose to listen to songs by "genre" on my iPhone, the new OS seems to not allow me to shuffle all sings within that genre, only songs within an artist or album. Am I missing something?

I know how to play songs shuffled within a playlist
using iTunes... but when I select playlist on my
iPod the songs are not shuffled. How do I shuffle
songs within a playlist when playing them on the
iPod??
Thanks.
Dell C400 Laptop
Windows XP 60G Video iPod
Under the Settings menu, select Shuffle. Try setting the shuffle to to "Songs" rather than "Albums". That's what worked for me. Also works to shuffle songs from your entire library under Music/Songs. If you have it set to album, it will shuffle the albums but not the songs within the album. Hope this helps!

Ipod resets when clicking the white button on click wheel

make sure you have backup of songs and podcasts then do a restore.

All songs synced when selected playlists, artists and genres is used

For some reason when I check check "selected playlists, artists and genres" and uncheck the artists I do not want on the iphone they are not removed.
Reading the forums it was indicated that songs that are part of a playlist will not be removed so I deleted all the playlists and the songs/artists are still on the iphone.
I then removed all songs and added them back in but they are still there.
I even disabled genius and the artists/songs are still there.
I know I can manually manage the music but unchecking the artists would be very unwieldy.
The main summary screen is set to open itunes when this iphone is connected and nothing else and the music tab does not have the automatically fill free space with songs checked.

Just installed iTunes 10 in the hopes that this would resolve the issue but to no avail.
Help please I just want to sync my phone and leave off artists I uncheck (multiple albums and compilations)

Itunes crashes when selecting playlists

Hi there,
I have two of the standard playlists in my iTunes (Recently Played and Recently Added). When selecting these i get a pop up stating that iTunes has stopped working and the program must close. I've tried to delete the playlists as i'm not that bothered about them but even when i right click on them to try to delete...i get the pop again.
Additionally if i add the Date Added and Date Played columns into iTunes and try to sort by them columns, i get the pop up again.
All other features of iTunes is fine.
Anyone else have this problem, and/or have a solution to get it fixed?
Thanks.

Tell Apple about it.
iTunes > Help > Provide iTunes feedback.
ALso send more details, such as how large the playlists is (how many songs, how many GB in music....this info should show up at the bottom of iTUnes when you're in the playlist).
And if you notice it always stopping at one song, try taking that out.
You could also check in your Application event viewer and see if there is an error from iTunes there.

Ipod resets when using it

My 30 gig 5G ipod random resets when im in shuffle or skipping through songs in my song list. It does it randomly, like right after a new song comes up, it'll reset. I'm not sure, but I looks like its different songs that come up, so i dont think its the song itself. Please help.

I saw this stuff about turining off the EQ in order to solve the problem when in some songs the iPod reset itself.... It works!!!! That's the good news... the bad news... this answer *****!!!! C'mon guys, Apple users deserve more than this!!!!
All begun when I upgrade my iPod to the 1.2 version... Pls guys, if you are one of this few people that you are not upgrade it to the last version.... dont do it!!!
Wait until 1.3.... or at least a minor release 1.2.X
Wow... Im a PC user converted to a MAC one... but I never tought that this kind of ¨bugs¨ happen in this world!!! I'd to see it to belive it

5G iPod resetting when in iPod HiFi

Hi,
my 5G iPod (60G) works just fine, only when plugged into the HiFi, it is resetting in the middle of playlists or podcasts. It not always the same song or podcast, next time same title may do allright.
It occurs with Large Cover Art Active and Deactivated.
Any ideas??
Thank you
Tomm

Every time I put my 3G iPod in its dock it makes the beeps that you're talking about. Recently, I bought one of the universal docks so I could have one at home and at work. This dock is quiet when I put the iPod on it. So the beeps you hear sound normal to me, I'm just not sure why you would hear it only sometimes. If your 5G fits fine I would just say use it.

My ipod resets when a certain song plays and it won't update some videos

There is one song that no matter what when it plays it resets my ipod, black screen with the silver logo then main menu after like 30 seconds.
And I have a tv show on my iTunes but even though it shows its on my ipod I can't find it on there.
So is there a way to liek wipe my ipod clean reformat it and reupdate, and if so would that even fix my problems?
13" White MacBook/ HP a450n Windows XP Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.0 GHz, 1GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, Superdrive/ 30 GB Black iPod Video

That song would appear to be corrupt. You should delete it from the iPod and transfer it back again.
If that doesn't work, try deleting it form iTunes then re importing it.
"even though it shows its on my ipod I can't find it on there."
Huh?
You can wipe your iPod by restoring it.
See this: Restoring the 5th generation iPod (iPod with video).
That will also reinstall the software, but whether it will cure the issue no one can say.

IPod fails when selecting "photos"

When I toggle over "photos" the iPod goes to the apple logo as if it is trying to reset. After about 10 seconds it stats again. Any ides?

I deleted a couple photos in the area the ipod freezes but it still freezes. Resetting it does nothing but restarts the ipod and then it still freezes when I go back and veiw the photos in through photo library and last 12 months. I created folders to group the photos to test the ipod and see if it will freeze when I view the same photos the ipod is freezing on when I veiw them in "photo library and 12 months". And the Ipod does not freeze when I view the photos in their gruoped folders. So it can't be a corrupted file, can it?
