My ipod stops after afew songs during shuffles

Since updating to the 1.2 firmware, my 60GB ipod will stop after 20-30 songs, show the Apple logo and then return to the menu. Is this a problem others are experiencing? Can it be rectified because it's hugely annoying and frustrating.

Browsing songs in shuffle mode on classic ipod

i primarily use my ipod as a car stereo in shuffle mode. is there any setting or application that i can put on that will allow me to jump straight to the current song that is playing when i press menu rather than the song i first selected?
for example a song by a certain artist comes up on random but i want to hear a song that i know is nearby in the list and i dont want to have to scroll through thousands of songs to get there.
cheers

I am confused by your post. By skipping songs, do you mean that the playlist ends without those songs playing at all? Or are you saying that all of the songs do eventually play but they are skipped and played in a 'random' order? That, by definition is shuffling, hence my confusion.
I don't mean to be flippant. Just seeking clarification.

To skip songs in shuffle mode for the ipod nano:
On the click wheel,on the left and right are the fast foward or rewind buttons. You use those to skip songs in shuffle mode. If you hold on to them, it skips to further or back into your song.

Skip Songs in Shuffle Mode

My son got a Nano in April. We are very new to this technology. He tells me he used to be able to skip songs in shuffle mode. Now he says he can't. I tried the fast forward on the right side of the circle but, it does not skip the song. What are we doing wrong?

- Do you have shake to shuffle turned on: Settings>Music
- Do you have Shuffle turned on? It is the crossed arrows on the right side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it white.
Next try;
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Front row not responding after few songs

OK.
So here is my problem:
I turn front row on by pressing menu button on apple remote. I go to music, choose playlist (5-stars), shuffle and I do whetever I want, not using my computer, just listening to my music.
After few songs, I here sound but there is no interface in front row.
I see only a bar with song progress, there is no title, album cover... Nothing just this bar with progress.
After pressing menu button on apple remote, nothing happens, it can't shutdown front row, and the computer must be restarded by holding power button. I try Command Q, option comand Esc.... Nothing. I even press F8, F9, F10, to check if the keyboard is responding, that it adjusting keyboard backlit... No light (even it is dark and normaly it automatically turns on.
What can I do? 10.5.2, all updates installed, 2.2 Ghz MacBook Pro (With 4GB RAM), 128MB GRAPHICS.
The same was on 10.5.1, and with 2GB, I don't remember if I have tested it on 10.5.
Does anybody faces the same difficulties, does anybody have a solution? Tiger was so nice...
Help.
Chris

Figured I'd add my voice to the crowd. I am having the exact same problem. I usually use front row to listen to my podcasts, but the screen goes black somewhere between the 1-3 minute mark. It doesn't always do it, but if it does, it'll do it then.
One thing I noticed is that it ALWAYS happens whenever the cover flips from one side of the screen to the other. Is there a way to disable this option? The only way I can fix it right now is if I back out to the previous menu and let the song play over that. It's easy enough to do, but it's can be a bit of an annoyance if you want to adjust the volume or FF/rewind. I keep hoping that the new patches will fix such a glaring flaw, but they never seem to.

My iPod hang when I skip the song in shuffle mode

I always use shuffle songs and skip to find the song I wanted. I have used it for 11 months and this month my iPod hang oftenly. I send it to apple care in Thailand. They take 4 days and call me to get my iPod back. They said "There is no problem with my iPod". After I play it in the same way for a while, it hang again.
I have called my local support. They told me that iPod is not designed to use like that. We cannot use shuffle songs and skip the song oftenly. I do not think the iPod do not support this. I used it for 11 months and have no problem. When I have the problem, they say I cannot use like this.
Is there anyone find this problem? In shuffle songs mode, using skip oftenly. I would like to double check this problem before send it to apple again.
Thanks.

Hi tokepi,
I'm having exactly the same problem, and after upgrading to the latest iTunes Version it has gotten worse.
I'm trying to find the software to reformat the hard drive of the iPod as my suspicion is that the hard drive has errors on it, hence why the songs hang or skip to the next track.
Unfortunately I've been unable to find the utilities to reformat the drive, but I guess that Apple must have the ability to do it, or replace the drive.
Make sure you keep all communications with Apple as your iPoad should still be under 12 months warranty, and so if defective they should replace it free of charge.
Good luck and let me know if they get it fixed!

IPod nano (5th Generation), Windows, get stuck in syncing after few songs

I try to sync smth like 3000 songs, and after few ones, it remain syncing for hours at one random.
Already tried to restore the iPod, uninstall iTunes, change USB port. Tried also with an another iPod, and worked...

I have a few suggestions for you today.
1st. try and sync a few songs at a time, 3000 songs at once can possibly freeze your pc.
2nd. try and reinstall itunes. : http://www.support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
how much memory is your Ipod?

I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

Grouping Songs in Shuffle mode?

Does anyone know if there's a way to "link" or group songs together so when in shuffle mode they play one after another? I have some songs that are multiple parts and are saved as multiple files(like many classical pieces are), but I don't ever want to here just a single part or section when in shuffle mode.
Len

Further to Len's post, can anyone give me some tips on exactly how to rip and link songs or parts of songs to create one track that can then be shuffled on iPod (I have the same problem as Len). Can this be done in iTunes, or do I need some other software? Can you recommend any, if that's the case?
Isn't it a bit odd that iTunes has the ability to shuffle groupings but the iPod doesnt?
Thanks

IPod restarts after sync

I noticed my iPod sometimes restarts after a sync is completed. This doesn't happen all the time and update 1.0.1 doesn't seem to resolve this. Does anyone else have this "problem" or can someone explain why this happens?

Solution? Use firewire. $20 extra is lame (not very much, mind you) but now I don't have to send it in, and the uploads are a tiny bit faster. As I type, I'm 650 of 1300 songs in, without a hickup. Last night, it'd crash after 10. I'll be posting this in a few threads - I apologize if you're reading them all!

Playing concurrently recorded songs in shuffle mode.

Help! Is there a way to play songs concurrently that were recorded concurrently while the Ipod is in shuffle mode? Example: Van Halen's "Eruption" going into "You Really Got Me", or the Beatles-Abbey Road medley with "Sun King""Mean Mr. Mustard""Polythene Pam""She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"

Yes... One way I found is to fuse all the files of a medley into one file. Find the files in explorer. Open the files of the medley in notepad. What is seen in notepad makes no sense, but it is the content of the files. Just copy and paste, fitting the medley into one notepad. Then save. It saves beautifully av a mp3 file without any fuss. Import the file into iTunes, call it the medley name and you're done.
