Ipod skips past several songs then freezes and shows error message

My ipod recently started skipping past several songs at a time. When this happens, the album artwork doesn't match up with the song title shown beside it and the ipod just keeps skipping over songs, sometimes 20 or 30 until it finally stops and starts working again. Then it will just stop all-together and show an error message.....connect to apple.com/ipod/support. Anyone have any idea why this happens and if it can be stopped? Is there any way that the album artwork slows everything down and causes the problem?
Thanks

My ipod is still not working right. I've tried everything. I had recently started using an external hard drive to store itunes when the problems began. Is it possible that my music is not transferring correctly from the Ex. H.D. to my ipod.Some songs play fine one time, then don't the next. Any suggestions at all would be most appreciated. Please help, I really miss my ipod.

bt_canada,
I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.
To be honest, there's about 3 drives that kick up this error because of a bug in iTunes, but I can't tell if that's your problem until I see the diagnostics summary.

Advanced action: jump to next slide if all text entry boxes are filled out. If not, pause project and show error message

Hi there
Working with captivate 4 and advanced actions, which is a great new feature, I encounter the following problem:
I have a sign-in slide, where the user has to insert his name and several other data. For user-friendly handling, I have the text entry boxes appearing one after another, so when the user confirms his entry, the next text entry box appears and has the focus.
The button for jumping to the next slide works with an advanced action:
Only if the user has filled out all the text entry boxes, the action "jump to the next slide" is performed.
If not, an error message is shown.
It works well so far.
Now, I want the project to pause there, and not to jump back to the beginning of the slide (as suggested in another Thread in this forum), because then the text entry boxes dissappear again.
I tried to set the movie control variable rdcmndPause to 1 in order to make the movie pause, but nothing happens.
I tried it with an external playback control bar and without, it didn't work in either case.
I found the hint:
To control the project through the skin file, add the prefix cpSkinLoader_mc to the variables. This might be the solution.(?)
But how can I change the name of a MovieControl Variable?
If anyone knows, how this is supposed to work or has another suggestion to solve the problem, please let me now.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Petra,
I believe I can help you, but from a completely different angle than anything you've tried yet. I try to find simple solutions to complex problems. No advanced actions will be needed, just a little creative timing. First, I need to be sure I correctly understand what it is you're hoping to accomplish.
If I understand you correctly, you've got a single welcome slide. On this slide you've got several TEB's (text entry boxes), set up with variables to make your project more personal or gather some required information. These TEB's have no right or wrong answers, they simply require an entry: such as an address which begins with a numeric key. The TEB's are set to appear one after another, as one is completed the next one appears. Once all have been completed a next button, set to "jump to next slide" takes them to the next slide and on through your course. You want the project to pause until the user clicks this button, and only proceed if all TEB's have been entered. If not, you wish an error message to appear.
If the above description is correct, I'd do the following:
Leave your TEB's to show up one at a time as the previous is submitted, as you've described. (each one pauses the slide till info is submitted, then "continues" the slide and the next TEB displays)
Set each TEB to "display for rest of slide".
For the next button: In the properties dialog box, options tab, name the button "Next_button" and uncheck the visibility box.
Open the properties for the final TEB that students will fill in and set the on success property to "show" then choose the Next_button by clicking the drop down arrow beside the "show" field. This will hide the Next button until all TEB's have been filled in.
There is no error message, because there is no possibility of error. Why tell a student they've messed up, just eliminate that possibility! All TEB's only display after the previous is entered, and the Next button is hidden until the last TEB is entered.
I've tested this in a simple 3 slide project and it all worked fine, including some variables. If you need more detailed info, or would like to see the sample proj. I created let me know.
Hope this helps.

Ipod classic will not sync. It freezes and says error message (-69)

I've tried to "restore" the factory settings. I've reset the IPOD, toggled the hold switch, checked for upgrades and nothing seems to work. It also makes a raspy clicking sound as soon as it is about to freeze up and continues to do so until I close the program (through Task Manager, not on its own).

Have you Authorised your Computer...
Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).

Final Cut Freezing and giving error messages

FCPX is slow and unresponsive and when I drag clips into a project I sometimes get a message that the project cannot be saved, but mostly I get what you see below. Before you ask, it's not full, it is available, nothing has moved or changed. Any thoughts? this comes up constantly.

Ipod skipping to next song and getting worse, have done 5 r's 3x HELP!

I have a click wheel ipod that has worked fine for years. However, since I have transferred everything from Windows to my imac, it seems like my ipod has a virus...it skips from one song to another and then it seems to be more and more songs and albums as time goes by. Progressive, you know? Like a virus? I have followed all the directions I could find on this site and done the 5 R's three times now.
So, I'm at a loss, please help!

Did you ever get any relief?
Okay my situation, my buddy has a PC ipod, I have a Mac and Mac Ipod. He bought the wrong adapter for his adapter and we charged his ipod on my computer. I didn't sync his up, just charged it.
Well poor guy goes out for a run and his ipod is shuffling through every song before it even plays a note.
Any ideas? Did we kill his ipod?

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS

MY IPOD SKIPS WHEN PLAYING SONGS AND THE SOUND GOES IN AND OUT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Is the Battery level is low?
The harddisk might be dying, run the disk diagnostic, the procedure is
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
if it is too technical for you, but it does gives you the condition of your harddisk.
What's happening is that some songs are on bad cluster, which need to be moved or reallocate to good cluster.
To fix it in Windows simply run
chkdsk drive: /R /F
where drive: is the iPod drive ID. D: or E:
in Mac run Diskutilty -> FirstAid -> repair.
Good luck!

HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song. I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit. My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8. DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops. My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9. The DVD Player is version 4.0. My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2. The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0. The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen using the + to home screen option won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)
i need to reboot to stop it and I'm stuck with loads of homescreen icons on my iPad

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. If you like using website icons you can bookmark them as Favorites and they'll be on your Safari page instead of your homescreen and they're much easier to get rid of. Also you could turn on Favorites bar by going to settings> Safari> show Favorites bar> on. See screenshot.
