  • IPod skips through all songs and isn't properly recognized in iTunes

    I have 30gb iPod video and it skips through all the songs and then goes back to the menu. Occasionally I can get it to stop skipping through and play part of one song. I have reset it several times. Also, when I plug it in to the computer it appears in iTunes as the name of my iPod Nano. I really don't want to lose all the songs on my iPod because it was my sister's iPod and she recently passed away. Most of the songs on here she put on and I don't want to lose those songs... Is there a way I can get the songs off my iPod onto my computer and then restore the iPod? Or is there a good way I can fix the problem?

    i'll have a go at this one:

    that can be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. are the techniques from this document of any help with that?
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • 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?

  • Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs

    Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs and what can I do to control or prevent it?

  • 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!

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • How do I stop iPod on my iPad from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop.

    How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop until it's told to play the next song. In iTunes I can uncheck the checkmarks next to songs, but I can't see where to do that on the iPad 2.

    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.

    The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
    If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

    Yes ... if just one song on an album is doing that, it usually means you've got a damaged file on your hands.

  • 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.
