Ipod restarts on certain files

My iPod will simply restart on certain files. It sounds like there is a gear or something shifting in the iPod, and it just restarts.
I checked the files that wouldn't play, and they are all MP3's so its not a wierd file that doesn't open any other time, just for some reason, there are a dozen or so files that I come across and the iPod will blank screen, show the apple, light back up and start all over again. What's the deal?

  • IPod Restarts On Certain Song

    When I play a certain song on my iPod, it essentially restarts - it won't play the song at all. But it plays fine with I plug my iPod into the computer and play it from iTunes. Anyone know whats up, or how to fix this? I'm not sure of how many songs it does this to.

    U R not alone, I have Jay-Z "03 Bonnie & Clyde" and the iPod resets EVERYTIME i play that song. Really annonying. Thats the only song I've noticed i have the problem with. What I did was delete that song, and redownload and import it into my library. Problem solved.

  • Finder crashing/restarting with certain files visible?

    This problem has been going on for months now and I've not found anyone else with it or any suggestions that don't include "go buy 10.4 you cheapskate."
    Every time I open a Finder window with an .m2v file in it the Finder restarts. Now, if I switch to "panes" view everything's OK, but that costs me time since I like to sort by date. Has anyone else run into this? I'm getting desparate.

    Hi klem,
    you can fix the list view as well by disabling the "kind" column under "View" > "Show view options". Now, this will stop your Finder crashing but does not really solve your .m2v problem. In order to tackle this issue, you will have to re-associate this file type with the application that you usually employ to view these files. You do this via the Info pane when you ctrl-click on the file in question and select "Get Info". However, first you have to make sure that the info pane does not try to preview the file or you will be back in limbo-land. To do so, ctrl-click on any "safe" file (like a pdf file ) and in the info pane toggle the preview triangle so that the preview pane is closed. Now navigate to one of your troublesome m2v files, ctrl-click, select "Get Info", go to "open with" and selct your application of choice. If you select Quicktime, make sure that you have the proper plug-in installed:

  • IPod restarts when trying to play certain songs

    My ipod has been acting crazy on and off now for a long time. Usually if I let it die and sit a day before recharging it it works again, but now I am having a new problem. When I play some songs my ipod just restarts itself, and I mean restarts. The Apple logo comes up and it starts over like I had never had it on. I still have all my music and all, but it like coming out of hibernation.
    I guess best put, my ipod restarts after certain songs.

  • Itunes and Ipod skips certain files

    Itunes has decided that it doesn't want to play certain files in my library that have worked before. It will get partway through a track, stop playing and freeze my computer for a few minutes until it decides to just skip to the next track, and everything is okay until it hits another one it doesn't like.
    It also won't let me transfer all of my music to my ipod. It stops when it hits those files that it doesn't like, so I have to keep going manually.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, but it didn't help. I'm using the same mp3's I always have that worked before.

    The error I get when I try to synch my ipod is (-69)

  • Ipod restarts question

    When i play certain songs my ipod restarts, but when i turn off the EQ settings, sound check, and compilation settings in the main menu it doesn't have a problem playing the songs, anyone know why it does that, can i fix it?

    it usually is caused by a corrupt file. some are more severe than others. personally, i have had single songs render my ipod useless, and have had to send them in for service. at any rate, you should try to isolate which songs give you problems, and remove them, then re-import them. see if that helps.

  • I need to do a clean install of maverick on my 2010 mbp what disk do i use and how do i move certain files from an external hard drive

    I want to do a clean install of maverick on my 2010 mbp.  I need to know what disk to use and also how i take certain files off my external hard drive and put on my computer.  When I was having problems with my airport they did a clean install and they pulled files of my time machine.   however they forgot to put the partition back in for a windows side.  Originally I had Parellels on my computer.  After my external hard drive got corrupted i called apple and they fixed the problem but didn't have me set up the time machine except for the external hard drive.  Now my only back up is from the external not from the laptop.    I am not sure how to do any of this.  I am not computer savvy...PLEASE I NEED  HELP>

    First, you need to make a backup of your MBP onto your external drive. I suggest you start by cloning your MBP drive to the external drive:
    Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    This clone is fully bootable and also contains a clone of your Recovery HD.
    Second, you need to do a clean install of OS X onto your MBP as follows:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should accomplish your goals. You will have a clean install of OS X on your MBP and a bootable clone of your old system and all your files on the external drive.

  • IPod restarts when syncing music

    My iPod restarts when its in the middle of syncing music. Sometimes it just restarts and other times it says the required folder cannot be found. Can anyone help me?

    Plug your iPod into your computer and once iTunes open go to the iPod preference plane on the source list. There is the option to restore your iPod. Restoring means to erase your iPod completely and reinstall a new software on it. So if you have any files in your iPod that you don't have on your computer, back them up before you do the restoring. Otherwise, proceed with the restore (You need internet connection to do the restore). You should be fine after restoring it.

  • How to do a clean install go yosemite and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?

    How to do a clean install of yosemite (have Mavericks 10.9.5 now) and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?

    Do a backup before doing anything.
    If you want to make a clean install of Mountain Lion, boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart, use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair  the disk and run Repair Permissions. Then erase the hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format using the Options button. Reinstall Yosemite. Restart normally and test. Use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to import what you want.

  • "application cannot be found" when trying to open certain files

      Recently i upgraded my computer to Mavericks recently and I've been having a problem opening certain files.  In one day I upgraded to Mavericks and I also updated my Adobe programs to the Creative Cloud.  Ever since then I cannot open any of my Adobe files.  They are all saved as under the CS4 legacy format.  I uninstalled CS4 after installing the Creative Cloud.  Every time I try to open one of these files previously created in CS4, whether it is a photoshop ot illustrator file, I get the error message "The application cannot be found".  I also can see no preview or thumbnails for the files.  I talked to Adobe Support and we went through a process of deleting my preferences and it didn't work.  I restarted my machine and it worked.  It worked for a day and now after starting up my machine today it is saying the same thing again.  After a while it just out of nowhere started working again.  I'll be clear and say that I was logged into my adobe account and there were no network interuptions. 
    By the way, the new versions (Creative Cloud) of the adobe programs all work just fine and If I save something then it works fine.  It is only when trying to read a file from a previous format. 

    If you are attempting to start Adobe Creative Cloud by opening a file created by its previous version, open the Adobe Creative Cloud app first, then choose Open from its File menu and select the old file. The files you are attempting to open were associated with the version you used to create them, which is now gone.
    After opening them, save them again. From then on, opening them will probably open Adobe CC directly.

  • IPod restarts every time I click the center button

    Every time I click the center button to go into the music folder, my iPod restarts, so I can't get into those files. It sometimes happens when going in to the extras folder as well. What do I do?!

    Do you have any podcasts on your ipod?
    My nano has a very strange problem with resetting too, whenever I transfer a podcast to the ipod, listen to them using the 'Podcasts' folder itunes makes in the ipod's music folder(not playlists, but in the root music menu, before playlists), then delete just the podcast itself instead of the whole podcast folder, then I try going back into the music menu on the ipod, it restarts every time.
    Only fix I've been able to come up with is just creating a new playlist for just podcasts, and putting my podcasts in that playlist and deleting the 'Podcasts' folder that itunes creates everytime I transfer a podcast to the ipod.

  • How can I tell iTunes to NOT convert certain files from wma format?

    I just got an iPod classic, and downloaded iTunes and it automatically started adding all my music. I have almost 5000 songs that are in wma format, and it started converting them all. Then after it got almost 2000 songs finished, it just stopped. For no reason. So I tried to continue it, and apparently there is no way to just continue where it stopped. It started over at the beginning and is now re-converting all the files it already converted.
    It took over 24 hours to convert those first 2000 files. It seems completely unnecessary that it should have to re-convert them all over again.
    Is there any way that I can tell it NOT to convert those specific files? I figured that you should be able to right-click the file and say "DO NOT CONVERT" or something along those lines, but that is not an option.
    The only other way I've been able to figure out that I could do this is to manually add only the files that it didn't convert last time. But that is over 3000 files, and they are not in the same order on my hard drive that they are on in iTunes so I would never be able to figure out what files were done and what files were not done.
    There HAS to be a way to just highlight certain files and tell iTunes NOT to convert them. Hasn't there?
    Someone please help me. This is really irritating, and I do not feel like waiting for another 3 days for this to finish. I have other things I need to do on my computer, and it seems that while iTunes is converting, it is making everything else very slow.
    Thank you.

    I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
    I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
    Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

  • WD Smartware Pro not backing up certain files and/or folders - Solution

    Hello all, I have recently bought a WD My Cloud, and installed the WD Smartware Pro software. I noticed that some files/folders were not being backed up. After troubleshooting the issue, I have found the following: - Right click on certain files doesn't gave me the option to send it to WD Smartware.- The same files were not showed in the explorer view of the backup tab, in Smartware (where you select what to backup). Now, the interesting part of this, is how I fixed the issue: - Went to C:\Program Files\Western Digital\WD SmartWare\Plugins and edited baseblacklist.xml file, removing the     <attribute value="temporary" /> text. This is because I have found that the files affected had the "T" attribute (which means Temporary).- Went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Western Digital\WD SmartWare and edited documents.xml, adding     <extension value="*.xps" />
        <extension value="*.oxps" /> In my case I have added those two entries because I have found that no xps/oxps files were not being backed up. If you right-click on a file and the context menu does not offer you the option to send to Smartware, then you have to add the extension in the file related to the files affected (i.e. documents.xml, movies.xml, etc.). In some cases, the xml files related to the content to backup are in one unique location. I don't know why in my case it's in two locations (program files and program files (x86)). I think that may be related to the fact my laptop is x64. Once you did all the modifications, you have to restart your computer, or if you prefer, the two services related to the product, which are: - WD Drive Manager.- WD Backup. If you restart the Drive Manager service, then you will restart both services as are dependant. I have Windows 10 Enteprise x64, with latest version of Smartware, firmware, etc. Hope it helps.
