IPod starts songs part way thru, not at the beginning

When I'm playing songs in a playlist My iPod (30 gig 5th Gen) doesn't start the next track at the beginning. It starts playing at some random point in the tune, it could be 12 seconds in, could be a minute, could be 2. I wiped and restored it thinking that might cure it, and if anything it's worse, as now it's doingit for every song. Any ideas how to cure it? Thanks in advance!

No issue at all when playing tracks on my computer, only my iPod. And it's not consistent how it skips either, for example it can start a tune 15 seconds in one time, and the same track will start a minute in the next time!

My iPod is playing songs half way through and not at the beginning?

Okay, so I will be listening to a song like "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles and will get the urge to change the song to a different band and song half way through of listening to it. After listening to the new band and song and like a month goes by I will go back to The Beatles song and it will begin where i left off and not in the beginning like it used to. How can i fix this because it makes me mad that it starts half way through and not in the beginning?

Hello uhmcookies,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
Hope this helps.

Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?

When updating my apps it stoped half way through and won't start so now I can not use the app recently updated it to ios7

and won't start so now I can not use the app recently updated it to ios7 I have tried turn the device on and off still hasn't work and I would like to actually use my apps and I can not download new apps

If the apps are waiting:
Fix iOS Apps Stuck on “Waiting…” During Download & Install
Otherwise:
- 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.
- Download the apps to your computer and sysnc
- 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.

I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts. The genious bar could not figure out the problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts). The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem. Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail. I've heard this is a video codec problem.

See this extensive older thread on the issue.

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. What do I do???

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music. I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't. I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!? What do I do???

You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC. Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

Any way to not have the albums sh

Is there any way to not have the albums show up when selecting AND playing a song?
Thanks.

Just thought i'd mention that you can do this much more easily by using a program like mp3Tag (free) where you can batch rename file tags. In other words, you can select all your files and change all the albums to blank or whatever you want in one process. take care

The ipod cannot be synced. you do not have the privilege to make changes

My ipod gets half way though the this message, ipod cannot be synced. you do not have the privilege to make changes.
What to do?

After searching this issue out and trying a bazillion different things (with no luck), I deselected 'Enable Disk Use' then re-enabled, and everything is working now.
Dear Apple -- What is up with that?

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

How do I delete photos from iPod Touch? Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod. I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

The songs I bought are not in the file of the songs I bought.

I bought more or less 80 songs but now in the file where are the songs I bought there are only 18 songs (the latest I bought) and the songs I bought before these I can't download them. The first problem I had was that there were all the songs in the iTunes that I bought but there were twice, so I deleted one of the both, and now these songs I deleted are not in the file of the songs I bought. How can I repair that? I'm really nervous.

Sign out of the iTunes Store, Sign in again. You should be able to download your past purchases from iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Alternatively look in the recycle bin for the files that have been deleted, then drag & drop these into ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes.

Hello, I have an ipod touch 2g and I can not download the application or change the version. made for me a solution please. and thank you

The hardware on the 2G does not support an iOS version higher than 4.2.1. If you want apps that require a higher version you will need to get a newer model iPod.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox?

Is there any way to not use the plugin container for firefox? Ever since I updated, my firefox browser has been crashing almost every day and it always says that the plugin container crashed, but the rest of firefox freezes up as well, so I am forced to end the process itself.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default in Firefox 3.6.6)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
