IPod shuffle not playing music

After a few months of having an ipod shuffle I decided to finally use it. I did EVERYTHING according to the instructions without any problems. I didn't get any error indications from my pc or iTunes software (latest version).
Now, I 'm trying to listen to the music I loaded and I can't hear any sound at all! I tried the following: 1. I turned my ipod off and on again after a few seconds - 2. I made sure that my ipod buttons were not locked and that my battery was fully charged - 3. I tried the "5 R'S" - 4. Also made sure that the headphone connector is pushed in all the way. - 5. I installed and used the "ipod reset utility" and every other thing that I could possibly think of and nothing....
When I turn it on the green light goes on for a few seconds and then shuts off and the only thing that happens after that is that the green light goes on for as long as I push the volume up/down buttons. ( I am positive that my songs are loaded by the way...)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any responses.

I'm in the exact same boat. It behaves normally in every way... except it produces no music. This is the fifth iPod I have owned and I've tried everything to fix it. It's used up a lot of my time, and I am very dissatisfied. I'll be sending it in for a replacement if no solutions come up. Also, it's a refurbished model... came broken right out of the box, which really makes me wonder about the "fully tested, works perfectly" crap.

  • IPod Shuffle not syncing music

    iTunes says that the iPod Shuffle is synced. I have selected a song to put on the iPod but I can not find the command to 'sync.'  I have tried selecting a song and dragging it to the iPod but when I disconnect the iPod Shuffle and pulg in the earphones, I get a message to use iTune to sync. What is the command or procedure to sync the music to the iPod so it will play?

    You can load content onto a shuffle manually, using Autofill, or by setting up automatic syncing.  This document describles those methods.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    When you select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES, you should see the Sync button at the lower right corner of the window.  However, "syncing" does not come into play (for loading content) if you are using the manual method (or Autofill).  If you set up automatic syncing, syncing (any changes since the last sync) happens automatically when you connect the shuffle.
    FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual, from this support web page for the shuffle

  • Ipod shuffle not playing songs in a playlists order

    I am having a problem with my ipod shuffle after the 7.2 update. when I make a playlist for podcasts to play in a specific order, i copy the podcast to a new playlist and click on the left most column on the numbers. This is supposed to tell the shuffle to sort the list by the numbers and play them in order.... WELL its not doing that, when I sync it to the ipod shuffle the playlists keeps rearraging the podcasts or songs in what ever order it deems. I DO NOT have the shuffle button turned on in itunes nor on the shuffle itself. and in both the ipod shuffle contents tab and the playlist that i dragged over to the shuffle both number columns are marked... so there is no reason that i can see for it not to play in order... Is anyone else having this problem? and if so any ideas on how to correct the problem. THanks for your possible help...

    I have this problem... In the night I connect my ipod to the computer to charge while I am working, in the morning I browse in the ipod menu but when I play any music file, the screen shows the "play symbolo" but the song does not play, I press "pause" then "play" but not works, after it, I reset the ipod pressing the "menu and center" buttons, after it, works good.
    In the day when I dont play music for couple hours and try again, the problem comes again.

  • Latest generation 160 gb ipod will not play music when play button is pressed

    latest generation 160 gb ipod classic will not play songs when play is pressed.Everything else forms and functions are ok

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

  • IPod does not play music from the beginning

    Hi there!
    The music is properly good on the hard disk of the PC.
    The music is imported into iTunes, where it played well from the beginning.
    On the iPod, the music is also available.
    When playing the music now as follows:
    The title starts 6-10 seconds from the start, just after this time the song is played from the beginning, for about 6-10 seconds, then the title is a play on. Then from 12-20 sec from the beginning.
    I hope the wording is somewhat understandable.
    Thx for help!
    PS: "Remember Position" is not enabled; Start time on each track is 0:00

    Good evening everyone!
    The problem is solved.
    It was because of the ZoneAlarm firewall software!
    Somehow, the music is cut up by plan no why ...
    Firewall uninstalled, delete music from iTunes and the iPod, newly imported gesyncht = works
    Thank you very much for your attention!

  • Ipod does not play music or videos

    Hi everyone! I just got a new 30GB ipod for Christmas and I put some music and one downloaded video on my ipod from itunes. Everything plays fine on my computer. It also all shows up on my ipod but when I click to play it the play screen comes up but it never starts playing. The video stays on a black screen with the play icon in the top corner and then I have to reset it because it freezes. I also tried deleting what was on it and trying to do it on another computer but the same thing happens. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? I really want to go to the apple store today to have it fixed but I know it will be packed since it is the day after Christmas! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have this problem as well. The 1.1 upgrade was supposed to fix this problem but it didn't. Hopefully Apple will address this issue.

  • My iPod is not playing music.

    When I go into the music app my music doesn't play, meaning the dial doesn't count down. When I press the play button though it says the music is "playing" though.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod shuffle syncs all music but only plays-back MPEG audio

    My iPod shuffle syncs all the music I specify but will not play-back AAC files!!  It will only play-back MPEG audio files. Is anyone else having the same issue?  Have restored it numerous times and tried fewer files / more files but no joy.  The voiceover just says "please sync with iTunes"

  • Why is my ipod not playing music through a docking station?

    Why is my ipod touch not playing music through a docking station?

    Did it work before with this iPod?
    Did you do something to the iPod since it last worked?
    Does the manufacture way it will work with your model iPod and its iOS?

  • Ipod Does not Play songs

    Ipod does not play music. Instead of playing the song, it just lists the title (like when a song is playing) and then moves to the next song without playing the song. It's as if it automatically forwards to the next song (song titles displays for every second). And this occurs in shuffle mode, and/or selecting a playlist. Need help! Ipod was purchased in this site on May 27,2006.
