IPod software bug?

Hello, I would like to know if this is an apple bug, and if not how do I go about correcting this problem...
My ipod will play tracks just fine, however when going from one track to the next, there is a slight (2 second or so) playing of another song (not from the playlist i am currently in.) Is anyone else out there having this same issue?

Haven't seen that in a while, and this is the only article I know of that discusses the issue.

IPod Software Bug or Faulty iPod?

I just purchased a 5G iPod, my first iPod ever, and I've encountered a problem. I'm hoping someone else can try to reproduce it to see if the problem is in the iPod's OS or if perhaps I have a defective unit.
I'm a Mac user, but my iPod is formatted for Windows because I need to be able to connect it to Windows PC's for use as a USB hard drive. (I transport large Photoshop images to a local printer for output, and they're Windows-based.) The 'About' on the iPod says it's version 1.0.
Anyway, after spending much of the weekend familiarizing myself with the unit, I decided to try the alarm clock feature to wake up this morning. Well, the iPod 'came on' this morning at the set time but did not play the selected play list. I know it came on because the LCD screen illuminated. However, there was no sound, so I decided to investigate. I've come up with a series of steps that reproduce some odd behavior, so if you have at least one video and a play list on your 5G iPod and could follow the steps below, I'd be interested in knowing what happens for you.
1) Set an alarm to play a play list a few minutes from the present time.
2) Go to videos and start playing one, but stop the playing by pressing the 'menu' button.
3) Now press and hold the 'pause/play' button to turn the iPod off.
4) Watch the iPod to verify that it comes on when the alarm is triggered. For me, it does come on and it's in the state it was when it was turned off - i.e. at the list of videos - but no music is playing. That is, the alarm was triggered, but it doesn't play the specified play list.
5) Now move your thumb around the click wheel as if to scroll the list of videos. For me, the menu items - i.e. the names of the videos - disappear. What I see is just the blue selection highlight that moves up and down on an otherwise blank screen. That ain't right.
Again, this is on a Windows-formatted iPod running version 1.0 (the latest as far as I can tell) of the iPod OS software.
If anyone else can try this out, whether you're iPod is formatted for Mac or Windows, it would prove helpful.
Thanks much,
Steve

IPod software v1.2 v1.3 bugs -- cannot shuffle by albums

I found my iPod nano can not shuffle songs by albums under correct setting after I upgrade the iPod software from v1.1 into v1.2 or v1.3. The only way to fix this problem is to restore iPod software v1.1. I hope Apple Computer staff can find out this bug and fix it with v1.4, thx.

IPod Battery bug (software)

I opened a thread @ www.podtunes.de with the subject "Geringe Akkulaufzeit bei meinem iPod 30GB" ("Low battery lifetime of my iPod 30GB"), which is one of the biggest discussion there at moment because most of the iPod G5 (Video) users have the problem that the battery doesn´t work as long as it should do. But as I notice this isn´t a hardware problem, it seems to be a bug in the iPod Updater 2005-10-12, which caused all the trouble.
I have thought about this problem for two days and would say now that this seems to be a bug in the programs which lets th iPod interpret the battery lifetime and decides about shutting down the iPod to keep the usersetting alive.
Maybe one of you guys from apple can give us a statement for the problems with the actual iPod software or if it´s any other bug?!
Thanks,
Nezumi_R (Dominik B.)

The battery indicator only seems to be a 'rough guide' to the remaining charge, and has existed on all 3 generations of iPod that I have owned. I think the problem is caused by the software 'predicting' the life remaining in the battery based on the drain at that time. For instance, when iPod first switches on, the backlight is 'on' and there is scroll action while seeking the tune or video to play - this puts a heavy load on the battery, and the software 'predicts' that at the present current draw, it wont last long - as soon as things 'quiet down' the software re-calculates info based on the lower drain with backlight off and nothing happening at the interface, so gradually the 'red' indicator will go greeen, and the longer the interface is untouched, the reading will get more accurate. But as I said at the beginning, its only a rough guide anyway -
I did see on another forum, that the best way to solve the problem was to stick a piece of black insulation tape over the 'battery' display - although it wouldnt look too good on a 5G iPod
Hope this helps.

5G iPod Software 1.1 Update - More BUGS than FIXES!

I just updated my 5G (mac format) iPod to software version 1.1 and right away noticed that someone bungled up BIG TIME!
To start with -- holding down the MENU button doesn't toggle the backlight anymore!
Next -- try clicking in the NOW PLAYING MENU quickly with the CENTRE BUTTON... Are you seeing stars yet?? The menu repeats itself endlessly.
I dunno how Apple could have gotten this so horribly wrong. I expect iPod Software Update 1.2 for the 5G iPods tomorrow!!

Has anyone found the Video problem yet?
Try playing a video, wait for 20 seconds and then a big fat nothing. Video freezes and then it starts to play but without sound. Has anyone found this to happen. I have re-installed the software several times with the same result.
Hey Apple are you listening? Thanks a lot for screwing up my iPod. Time to think of a new brand.

Another user is using iPod Software.....

I'm trying to get more songs on my iPod and when I connect it and iTunes starts running a note pops up and says:
"Another user on this computer is using the iPod Software, so iTunes is unable to communicate with this iPod. Please ask the other user to log out." I checked and nobody else on the computer is using iTunes. Does anybody know what I am supposed to do or what this means? I cannot get anything about/on my iPod on iTunes... please help

Try restarting your computer.
This is NOT the kind of help that I find valuable. Restarting the machine is the
last thing I want to do! Is this a bug in the iTunes? Is it a sequence problem? i.e. should you plug in iPod, then start iTunes? Somebody has to have a better answer.

Method to downgrade iPod software from 1.1 to 1.0.3

Based on problems with 3G iPod nano software v 1.1, the following is a way to get back to v 1.0.3 which will resolve these issues until Apple gets the bug fixed. The following link describes the issues:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1347183&tstart=0
To get back to 1.0.3, first go to your User Library > iTunes > iPod and remove the two files labeled as "iPod_26.1.1". I also removed any "previous iTunes Libraries" from my User Documents > Music folder. Then turn off your internet connection to prevent an automatic update to version 1.1. After opening iTunes and connecting the iPod, you can then "Restore", and it will ask if you want the previous version that you have in your library. After restore and sync, you're back in business!!

Hoss-
I'm on a Mac, and you have windows, so I'm not sure the files would be identical.
If you updated your 3rd Gen. iPod Nano before Jan 15, 2008, then the files absolutely must be somewhere on the computer used to sync it. The v 1.0.3 update was early Dec 2007, so if you accepted the update between those dates, you'll have them.
I'm copying the instructions for windows from the second post in this topic:
"Thanks for the info. The restore to 1.03 worked fine and the file names were close to the same in WindowsXP and can be found in this user folder C:\Documents and Settings\"User Name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates."
It's possible that the C: drive may not be the location for your computer - so check out all your drives to see where windows buried them. Make sure that drive is active when connecting the iPod.

Ipod Software 1.3

Does the new Ipod software 1.3 solve any problems or create more? I have a 20gig gen3 that was rendered useless after going up to 1.2 but my Nano is fine at 1.1. Anymore I am leary of updating anything unless it's not working!!

it's required for the Nike Voice Kits:

i don't have an especially good feel for what the bug fixes were with 1.3. could you describe the problems you were getting with 1.2?

Does new iPod software work?

I just recently downloaded the new iTunes update and it made iTunes impossible to open. I got it working now but I was just worried about downloading the new iPod software update.
So if you've downloaded it already, does the new update work or should I leave my iPod as it is until a new update comes out?

Hi, the new iPod software update is working fine and I didn't experienced any problem or bug, don't worry! Probably you had a problem updating iTunes but it could happen in particular if you're using Windows XP/2000. Let me know, bye!

IPod Software Updater won't recognize my iPod

Hey guys,
I just got a new white 30GB ipod with video. I plugged it in and iTunes said that I had outdated software and I had to download it. So, I downloaded the latest updater, and then I installed it. I plugged my iPod iin again, and my iTunes 6 (latest latest version) again told me to install the software, so I opened the software updater, and it couldn't recognize my ipod!
I can't copy a lot of songs to my iPod because it says that it is outdated, but I can't update it because the updater won't recognize that I have an iPod plugged in even though my Finder and iTunes do recognize it.
Is there something I can do? Please help me!
Plz help!
Thanks in advance!
Matt.

Well, I just got off the phone with an Apple tech and you won't believe the load of c**p I am going to have to do because of the message "some songs won't transfer because your ipod software is too old."
Now, keep in mind, I have a brand new 30GB iPod video and it has the very latest software on it. I also have the latest version of Quicktime and iTunes and Tiger.
This is verbatim what the tech said:
You have to uninstall your ipod software, the iTunes software, and the Quicktime software, then reinstall all of it in a specific order to make the new iPod work.
Is that a load of crap or what?! Since when do they make people reinstall their applications simply because they have a bug in the product?!
So, if any of you are having trouble with the "old software" message, beware of what the tech may end up telling you to do.
I'm very ****** and ticked off at Apple for releasing a product that has obvious problems, given what I've seen on this board, and instead of releasing a software fix, they expect the end-user to fix their problem. That's BS!!!!

Deleting and syncing videos / iPod software version

Two questions:
1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?

1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
No, if you delete from the library and sync then they will be deleted. You could either switch to manual managment of your iPod or you can remove the physical files from your computer while retaining the entries for them in the iTunes library. When you try to sync again iTunes will report that it cannot sync certain files as they cannot be found, but it should leave the previously synced files on your iPod. You can disable the warning if you choose. You will still be able to add new videos onto the iPod by adding them into iTunes, then syncing. You can also remove items you no longer want on the iPod by deleting their library entries. I would stress, however, that this method should be avoided if it results in the iPod containing the only copy of a particular file because the iPod could easily be lost, stolen or need restoring at some point. When (and not if!) you restore your iPod, you will lose all the files on it. For this reason a better appraoch would be to get an external drive to hold data you don't want on your main computer & sync from that.
2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?
Only really matters if there's a new feature or bug fix which affects you. Since Apple don't publish a list of bug fixes it can be hard to tell. Me, I'm all for the latest version but others are more cautious. Horror tales of "the update bricked my iPod" are common enough on here, but you don't generally hear the voices of happier users so I wouldn't worry too much.

Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

Software bug in OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (IOS)

I found a software bug in OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (iOS) and is related to the space characters inside the logon name. I am using SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4617.1000 June 2014 CU) and my setup
corresponds with the OneDrive for Business App requirements.
I am not able to connect using OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (iOS) to the SharePoint 2013 OneDrive personal site if the logon name has space characters in it. With the same user account, but this time with the logon name changed (removed all
the space characters) the authentication works and I am able to configure the app (OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 - iOS).
I wrote more details here
http://www.vioreliftode.com/index.php/software-bug-in-onedrive-for-business-1-2-2-ios/.
Any other of you in the same situation?

Hi,
I understand that the issue occurred in OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (iOS).
If this is a suspicious bug, I recommend you to open a ticket with Microsoft.
In the meanwhile, you can post the thread at the OneDrive support forum:

More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to OneDrive for Business.
