IPod restarts when I play certain podcasts, help...

Ok so this doesn't happen with all podcasts, just my favorite one. And only then the ones that I haven't heard yet, the ones I have open up fine. The second I try to listen to a new one, it flips over to the screen like it's about to start playing, and then the screen goes dark and it restarts. I don't want to restore my iPod because I have stuff on there that's difficult for me to get again and I have restarted it, taken the new stuff off and then put them back in. Anyone know whats wrong or what I can do? Thanks.

Hi
Sorry to hear about your problems. I have a similar one. I subscribe to a series of podcasts and sometimes, for some episodes, the iPod will not play it: it will start to play it and may last up to a few minutes and then it just returns to the main screen like it has finished. This has happened with both "amateur" podcasts and very professional series as well.
Did you manage to find out what was causing your problem?

Help!!!!! ipod rests when i play certain mp3 tracks

Hi All,
Hope someone can help me. i just bought the 80g ipod Video yesterday. Everything is great except for one thing. I have some comedy shows (They are not video. It's mp3) that i downloaded onto my ipod which I also had on my 30gig. They worked perfectly on my 30 gig but on my 80 gig, it seems when i try to play them it resets the IPod automatically. It just won't play. Now, mind you.. most mp3's are either 192 bit rate or 128 but theses ones are lower. Some are 56 quality and some are just a tad higher but none the less, everytime i try and listen it just resets. But all my music seems to work just great except for these comedy mp3's. I don't understand why?? It works great with the 30 gig. Anyone have any answers to this or should I just bring it back and exchange it for another one? Thanks for your help....

is she resetting on mono mp3s, zeppelin? if so, perhaps check to see if the workaround from the following document is of any help with that:

My iPod freezes when I play certain songs

Hello,
I`ve had this problem for some time now. When I try to play certain songs on my (G1) iPod, it just freezes, and I have to reset it to make it work again. The strange thing is that this problem only occures with some of the songs, not all, and it´s the same songs every time that causes this problem.
I´ve tried full resets several times, updating the software on the iPod, and tried using both a PC and a Mac to transfer songs, with different iTunes versions, but the problem endures...
What´s even more "strange" is that even though I now use a Mac, and have imported all my songs all over again to this machine, almost the same songs that caused trouble before I changed computers are still causing trouble!
This tells me (even though I´m not a techie) that there is a HD problem on my iPod...
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

5.5 Gen Video Ipod rebooting when trying to play certain PodCasts.

Hi,
After enjoying an Ipod Nano for a year and loving every minute, I went ahead and purchased the new 80GB Video iPod.
Its great but it has a tendency to reboot for no apparent reason when playing certain PodCasts. For example: Its impossible to play the Buzzcast episode: BuzzCast 09/27/06 - "Microsoft protects your ****". The Ipod shuts off and reboots every time. I'm using Itunes 7.0.1 and the Ipod is running the latest available firmware.
Can anyone else who also owns the new 80GB iPod download this particular episode and confirm?
By the way, I've also noticed that even though the iPod is connected / docked with iTunes and clearly visible in the panel to the left, The message "Waiting for iPod" is displayed when trying to re-sync a while later. The only way to get iTunes to make contact with the iPod again is to physically disconnect the cable and reconnect, (even though the iPod icon was still clearly visible to the left thus indicating already established contact with the iPod) Weird!
Anyone else having this experience?
Input appreciated.
Kind regards / Alex

WHAT was apple thinking when they released iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2!? I installed in on my 60gb Video and the whole thing went to pot.
1. It sounded horrible
2. It would only allow me to download about 25% of my movies to the iPod (I have a large library and I take movies on and off depending on what I feel like for the trip I am taking.)
AppleCare Support was USELESS. Here is what I finally figured out to get the pod working right again:
1. Uninstalled iTunes 7 from my computer (PC).
2. Went into the registry editor and deleted all remaining references to iTunes.
3. Restored the firmware to the version that came with the iPod last January.
4. Used the 2006.06.28 firmware updater
5. Installed iTunes 6.0.5
It works like a charm, just like it did before Apple "made things better."
AppleCare told me that they could not support songs ripped from my CD's, or any video that had not been purchased from iTunes. I am certain that the reason for this had nothing to do with their wanting a monopoly on music and video that will work on an iPod. Then he offered to report the problem I was having to their development team.
I asked him if other people were having problems with iTunes 7. He said the question was not relevant to my problems! I pressed him more for an answer and he continued to parrot what Apple has obviously told him to say. "My new 80gb Video is working fine. I have not had the problems you are having."
DON'T UPGRADE TO ITUNES 7!!!!
I have ordered an 80gb since he said they work so flawlessly. Reading in this discussion, it appears that plenty of new 80gb users are frustrated too.

Playing Certain Podcasts with EQ Messes Up iPod

I think when i play a podcast episode and change the EQ settings in the middle of it
then playing a new podcast would make the iPod turn off with a "strange sound" and make it restart
after restarting, songs become scrambled and start to skip. I solve this problem by reseting my iPod but that doesn't work all the time so i had to restore many times.
After trials and error, i think the problems are because of the EQ settings, because when i turned it off, i can play podcasts without messing up my iPod.
Is there a compatability problem between the EQ and Podcasts?

Update to iPod firmware. This was fixed with version 1.2

I have an iPhone 4s. When I play a podcast, the audio is speeded up, like playing a 33rpm record at 78 rpm. This doesn't happen with music. How do I slow it down?

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

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.

P35: Machine is hot when I play certain games

Hi all,
i have a p35 machine, 17" widescreen, p4 m 3.2 wih hyperthreading. The point is, that the machine overheats when i play certain games like warcraft.
Also, i cant read any temperatures from the machine with common tools like motherboard monitor ect ( i tried them all). Onl hdd temp is there to read. Also in the bios, no temps are listed.
I see that cooling master is comming with a new notebook cooler for laptops, hope that will help.
Does anyone know something about my problems? There is no dust in the laptop, i cleaned allready. I play games with full cooling option.
I hope to hear from u guys,
Regards

Hello guys
It is nice that you clean up your unit because on this way the unit can be cooled properly and on this way the possibility of hardware damage is on the minimum. Unfortunately there is nothing to do. You can just to reduce the graphic options of your games.
Please dont expect that mobile units can have so powerful performance like desktops.
I am pretty sure that both of you know how looks like the graphic card for desktop with this big cooling vents. Can you imagine the difference between those cards and notebook graphic card?
Sorry but the only thing that you can do is to buy a powerful desktop. On this way you will be able to play all games without any problems.
Good luck!

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.
