Ipod skips to middle of next song instead of the start

when my ipod moves to the next song at the end of the previous song, or is skipped forward to the next song, it will sometimes start playing the next song either 30 seconds or sometimes over a minue into the song. This seems to be happening when it is on shuffle. I've tried resetting it but its still happening. Any suggestions? Its only a couple of weeks old (and happens to be a warranty replacement for my last 5th gen ipod who's headphone jack didn't work properly). Have i been given a dud?

Hello all... i was having a horrible issue with my iPhone seemingly shuffling at random. So frustrating until I turned off the "shake to shuffle" option... I think most new iPods and iPhones have this feature in settings... good luck.

IPod plays 3 seconds of a song, then skips to middle of next song

I've had this (30GB Black video) iPod for about a week and just started having this problem yesterday. Every song I go to it will play about 3-5 seconds of that song and then skip to the very middle of the next song. I don't know what to do. I have about 150 songs, and about 15 podcasts, and 4 videos - don't know if that has anything to do with it...
Any help is appreciated.

you probably have some corrupt songs or the ipod software is corrupt. to solve this isssue, first restore the ipod. click here to see how,
next you want to import a few new songs into itunes and load only those songs, if the issue is gone than it was corrupted songs. click here
to see how to configure the ipod to manually manage mode so that you can manually transfer only the new songs.

When I run with my iPhone4, the music just keeps skipping to the next song. I'll start my music, start running, and then the songs keep changing so I can never hear a song. Songs are from iTunes and doesn't happen on iPod. HELP?

Go to SETTINGS - IPOD - and turn off "Shake to Shuffle"...

When I am editing information is there a keyboard shortcut to advance to the next song without using the mouse to click "next"?

HT1725 My purchases are only playing halfway through the song then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully". Does this mean an incomplete download? How do I rectify this? Please help

Ipod skips last parts of some songs

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2 from 7.0.1 for windows. On certain songs I play on my iPod, the last few seconds, or even about 20 - 30 seconds will not play. The iPod will freeze and then the remaining time of the song will skip straight from 20 - 30 seconds to about 1 or 2, then pauses and the next song in the playlist starts. I have played these affected files in iTunes and the song plays to completion. Also, the tracks are not checked as part of a gapless album and the start and finish times are also not checked. Please advise me on what to do as it is getting very frustrating. I have tried resetting the iPod, and also restoring it and syncing my entire library twice. I do not want to do this again as it takes hours as my library is quite large!

I have the same problem on my shuffle and my 60gb iPod. It skips on song, pauses in the middle of videos, tv shows and movies. I returned to Apple, but they found no problem. I have restored both iPod and NOTHING!!! I wish someone would find out how to fix this. It is driving me completely nuts!!!!

IPod skips final minutes of a song; but iTunes plays song OK.

Sorry if this has been discussed before; I tried to find a similar topic but couldn't find anything. It if has been discussed before, please direct me to the thread.
One particular song on my iPod never plays the final minutes - play always stops at exactly same point (more than a minute to the end), playcount is incremented, and next song is played. It always happens to this particular same song, that is never played to the end.
I have already checked if any stop time is checked for the song but nothing is marked.
iTunes plays the song correctly up to the last second.
I appreciate your help.

Hi there, thought I'd share my ipod nightmare that may or may shed some light on problems of skipping/jumping.
I corrupted my database on the ipod and the only program I found that would display/backup the songs is ipod access (http://www.findleydesigns.com/ipodaccess/index.html) - as I only keep music on my ipod to save space on my computer - and even that kept on crashing, so I backed up one album at a time. 5 hours later...
So I did a restore, this time mac formatted not PC to the 1.3 firmware. Chucked the songs back on and most of the songs would skip/jump....oh yay.
Trawled through lots of threads - eg firmware, defrag issues etc... and thought the best was to revert back to 1.2.1 firmware and zero the data - as there is no conclusion what is the problem.
So this is what I did:
1. Erased ipod with Disk Utility using the zero out data option (in security options) - this takes about 1.5 hrs.
2. Deleted the 1.3 firmware files (ipsw and signature file located in (user)>library>itunes>ipod software updates.
3. downloaded the 1.2.1 ipsw and sig files and put them in the above directory.

4. disconnected from the internet (so it doesn't update to the 1.3 firmware) and restored the ipod. (might have to download the 1.2.1 firmware/updater - can't quite remember sorry - maybe included in the above files)
Ipod is all sweet now. Think I will buy a esata drive for backup now and also read more before I push that yearning update button.
Good Luck.

My ipod will not advance to next song, how can I fix this?

My ipod nano will not advance to next song, neither in regular play or shuffle. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

Your sequence settings and clip settings are not matching. To make them match, right click on a clip and choose New Sequence from Clip and a new sequence will be created based on your clip settings.

My music app shows it's still playing a song but it's playing next song without finishing the last song.

Since I had my iPhone 5S (I now have a 6 plus), I've had a problem with my iPhone Music app showing that it's playing certain songs but towards the end, it jumps to the next track, but without finishing the one it was playing. The music bar doesn't change - it shows as if it was still playing the former song. It happens randomly with certain songs and it appears all my playlists have been affected by this. I've restored the phone and restored both an iCloud backup (to rule out software issues that iTunes is copying over into the phone) and an iTunes restore from backup. I've also deleted entire albums and redownloaded them right onto the phone, hitting the exact same snag. I've also restored the phone and started it as a new install and hit the exact same snag. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
This is an 8G black Nano.

Longer songs stopping before finishing, next song playing in the remaining time of the previous song?

Hello apple communities, it's been a while.
So, problem, with the music app (or the particular albums/artists/songs) this time.
Longer songs are stopping before the end of the songs, it's almost like it skips, but the wierd part is this:
In the remaining time for that song, the next song starts playing.
Make sense?
No?
Well, here's an example.
The song deadman goes for 12.04, 12 minutes and 4 seconds.
The song after that, change goes for 10.47, 10 minutes and 47 seconds.
What happens is deadman will play for about 3 minutes, then skip to change, however, the ipod still says it is playing deadman, which has about 9 minutes left.
It is only the one artist it is doing this with as well. Both albums. However, they play fine on itunes, on the CD's, on the Ps3 and my mp3.
I have tried deleting them and re-adding them to my ipod but it doesn't fix it.
The fact that is only one artist, out of 38 or so, makes me think it's the files, but if they play fine everywhere else, it makes me think something has gone wrong in the syncing process, but there have been no error pop-ups.
My ipod is a 4th generation ipod touch, currently Version 6.1.3.
Itunes is version 10.7.0.21.
Thank you for your help.

Next Song Button - Stops the song and does not advance to the next song

I just loaded 8.0.2.20. Now I cannot use the ">>" next song button. I've tried many playlists and rebooted the system - no luck.
If song 1 in my playlist is playing and I click on the next song button, song 1 stops, song 1 remains highlighted in the main display area (list view).

I just figured this out. All of my songs were "unchecked" after I was working on setting up iTunes for multiple ipods. Now that they are all check, the "forward" or "Next" button works fine.

My keyboard keeps popping up in the middle of my screen instead of the bottom u keyboard keeps popping up in the middle of my screen instead of the bottom. How can I get back to appear at the bottom of my screen?

My keyboard keeps popping up in he middle of my screen instead of at the bottom. How can I fix this?

Press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or so you should get a popup - slide your finger up to 'Dock' on that popup and remove your finger from the screen and the keyboard should move back to the bottom of the screen.
You can also turn off the ability to undock and split the keyboard into two halves via Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard 'off'

Skips to the next song while in the middle of a track (in Shuffle mode)

On some tracks, my iPod suddenly skips to the next track when it is in shuffle songs mode. This seems to happen randomly in the middle (or close to the beginning...e.g. 30 seconds in) of tracks, and I can't figure out why it isn't playing the whole track. Suggestions?

I imagine sbonewicz looked at a couple of the More Like This threads listed in the panel on the right and found a solution there, such as this one...
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Shake to shuffle shuffles all songs instead of the playlist I am in. Why?

I just purchased my Nano 4th gen, and Shake to Shuffle is pretty cool. But it shuffles all the songs. This is probably by design, perhaps, but it makes more sense to me (being a layman) that I would want to stay in my playlist.
Was there a reason for this? Perhaps I am unreasonable...
Might this change in a later firmware upgrade? At least give us the option to have it shuffle just our playlist, or all songs.
Anyone else have this issue?

Hi CaroleH,
If you are having issues accessing or uploading photos either in apps or Safari, you may want to make sure you have installed the most recent iOS update that was just released:
iOS 8.0.2
