IPod stops after 2 minutes of playing, consistantly

this is the first Apple product I can truly say I am disappointed in. Brand new user, I have used up my one call and now I have a product that I have to talk outsiders to get help with a manufacturers product? I use that iPod for assissting going to sleep so it has not been abused! It will play for about 2 minutes then quit, try again same scenerio. I have no idea as to how to correct the problem.

Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing. You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.

Ipod stops after each track ends in a playlist?

I have a problem: Suddenly, my ipod stops after each track ends in a playlist. This happens with every playlist and every track, all of which worked fine until this week. All tracks' settings are "yes" on 1) part of a compilation; 2) remember playback position and; 3) skip when shuffling. I have not updated any software or added any new content to my ipod. I imagine that some setting has been switched on or off, but I am unable to identify which one. Please help as these are my audio books! Thanks!

I have an iPod Classic (I am fairly new to the medium) and when playing music the Pod goes smoothly from one song to the next but, when listening to a book (brought in from a CD copied into iTunes) it plays one track and stops.
See below for a link on how to copy a CD into iTunes if you want an Audibook.
I have tried checking the gap less album box (what is that for by the way) but it makes no difference.
If you've heard of Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd then it's used there when you want no break between tracks. Or any DJ mixed continuos play CD. Or some classical music. Take your pick
Third question, can I make a book copied into iTunes an Audiobook? How?

No problem, hang around and read a few posts, there's always plenty to learn in here.

160gig iPod Stopping After 2 or 3 Songs

My iPod would just stop after 2 or 3 songs when I'm listening to it on "shuffle songs," an album or a playlist. It happens when I listen to CDs that I ripped, albums that I bought from the iTunes store and DRM-free albums that I bought online.
At first, I thought it was a problem with ripped CDs and some kind of copy protection, but then I started noticing this for EVERYTHING, even when I put podcasts into "On the go" playlists.
Should I update my iPod/iTunes?
Help? Please?
Also, is the 160gig supposed to be laggy? Or is it the album artwork slowing things down?

I too have a problem with my Classic 160GB version where a song will play and the unit will just shut off. Usually this happens while I'm charging it and playing it through a dock but not totally all the time that way. I start it back up again and often that corrects it but sometimes it takes several restarts. This is a problem that I don't see Apple addressing. I can't update my unit also due to an error code 1430 so I've contacted Apple to create a service issue

My ipod stops after afew songs during shuffles

Since updating to the 1.2 firmware, my 60GB ipod will stop after 20-30 songs, show the Apple logo and then return to the menu. Is this a problem others are experiencing? Can it be rectified because it's hugely annoying and frustrating.

IPod stops after 10th or 12th song-after updating ITNS

5th Gen iPod running Firmware 1.2 and iTunes 7.0.1.7. After updating through Software Update from previous iTunes, I updated the Pod as recommended and now it stops after every 10th or 12th song. I have tried every step mentioned on http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ but with no luck. Ran perfectly fine on previous version.
Any ideas?

This happens to me too. Only thing I can think of is I recently downloaded latest software. Help!

Video player in iPod 60Gig. Sound stops after a while playing large clips

I have been converting DVDs and large video clips into iPod MPEG 4 format for the iPod with the Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter 4. This softwrae works just great and the files plays well on my PC with Quick Time player as well as others. When loaded to the iPod they all start OK but the sound disapears after a while. If I fast-forward or backward then it works for a while again.
I do not see this behaviour with short clips (3-5 minutes)
As far as I can see this is related to the MPEG4 player in the iPod. Anyone have a similar problem or some resolution to it.

Nope,
But I just discovered that that it is actually not only the sound that stops working but rather the whole video that has a "hick-up" and then when it continues the sound is gone. If I fastforward/rewind then it seem like the player rocovers and play the stream correctly again.
What are the Mp4 clip prefs you have used when converting?
I am planning to try some other settings when converting to see if that makes any difference but I doubt it will help. I think we will have to wait for a "better" i.e. working Video Player for the iPod ...

IPod stops after playing 1 podcast

I bought my iPod Nano mainly to play podcasts that I subscribe to thru iTunes. With 1 exception, this combination has worked beautifully. I like that every time I sync, the podcasts that I listened to gets removed and replaced with new podcasts downloaded by iTunes.
Here is the exception. When there are multiple episodes of a podcast, lets say "The Ed Schultz Show", Nano stops playing after each podcast and returns to the main menu! How do I get it to cycle thru all of the unplayed episodes before stopping and returning to the main menu? I picked this podcast because each daily podcast is broken up into small segments instead of one big podcast.
This may be a futher irritation - the episodes are listed in most recent first so I have to start at the bottom and work my way up. This is inconsequential at the moment since I have to select and play each episode singly but may become an irritation IF there is a way to make it play all episodes as I am trying to make it do. I want it to play chronologically as intended.
One possible solution I read about was to put the podcast in a (smart)playlist. However I can see a potential problem here. On iTunes, I have the podcast setting to delete all unplayed episodes of a podcast. However, since I only listen to the podcasts on the Nano, not in iTunes, it seems to me that iTunes thinks that none of the episodes have been played since all of the episodes are still there. So if I create a playlist to hold the podcasts (in hopes of getting them to play continuously), I have a feeling that one of the best features of the iPod/iTunes in playing podcasts would be defeated, i.e. automatic removal of all played episodes!
Any comment/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy,
I haven't replied back to this post yet until now, but I think I might have figured out what was causing the problem for me (or at least reproduced the problem reliably).
I have noticed that the problem is only present when I manually delete all individual podcast episodes from a particular podcast but leave the podcast title heading on my iPod.
If I leave at least one episode under each podcast title heading, the iPod behaves normally.

Ipod stopping after 1 min or so

Help. Never had a problem with an apple product out of the box- my fat mac in 85 through 7 more so this is frustrating. Finally got an ipod gb. Fully charged it, downloaded my songs and it will play one minute or so of any song - shuffle mode or by artist, etc and then it reboots to the apple screen and back up. Feels like the drive is spinning down and up. I've tried resetting it many times. Reloaded software. Every simplistic thing recommended in the cd help file and that I've seen here. Anyone else have this problem

Hi,
Uninstall your current copy of the Flash player plugin that is required to stream YouTube content, then reinstall new, then repair permissions.
Go here and follow the instructions. Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

IPod crashes after attempting to play a video or song!

Alright, I was watching a video on my iPod, when suddenly is freezes and starts making a screeching noise. I reset it, and tried to play it again. All I get is a black screen. I reset it again, and tried to play a different video. Same result. Then after resetting it again, I tried to play a song, and the same thing happens. I tried to play some games, and the default games work fine, but the games downloaded from iTunes don't work. So I restore the iPod in iTunes, and that worked out fine, but when I tried to sync my iPod, Windows says that it can't save it to E:iPod and try saving it somewhere else. I had never had this problem until the iPod stuffed up. Can someone please tell me what is going on, and how it can be fixed?!?

I am quite new at Logic and have two questions:

When I bounce a Logic project to iTunes, I have no problem listening to the song on my computer - in iTunes. But when i sync my iPod and then click on the song there, the iPod 'crashes' (needs rebooting) - and when it's ready again, nearly all the battery power has gone.
I have tried most of the options when bouncing ... aiff, wave, mp3, m4p etc ... all of which give the same result.
Sounds like a F^&*ed up iPod. IMO.

How come the 2,000 page Logic manuals - as far as I know - never touches upon the subject of mastering?
Because Logic is mainly used to create music / post production. Not so much for mastering. The guys who created Logic are not mastering engineers..but musicians.
If you want to master with Logic, you CAN. Go get a good book on mastering... there's a few out there.

Imported tracks crash iPod 4th after track finishes playing.

Imported tracks are converted music files from .mp3, I used Roxio Sound editor to 'enhance' the bass because these tracks otherwise playback faint compared to more recent tracks.
Note: This crash does not happen with all similarly converted and enhanced music tracks, but it is consistent with the 2 out of 10 songs so far.
I am planning to wipe the memory clean, but wanted to see if there are any other known solutions.
Thanks!

Hello there, German1.
The following Knowledge Base articles provide some practical and informative steps for how to bring content into iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
and
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347
From the "Adding music and other content to iTunes" article, this information in particular may prove useful:
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.

When I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes to the next one. how do I fix this? These are songs in entire albums that I have purchased.

when I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes on to the next song. This is happening with songs on albums I have purchased direclty through itunes

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on 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.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
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.

Ipod stops playing after each podcast

When I play music, each song plays one after the other like you expect. When I play my podcasts after each one the ipod stops and goes back to menu screen. How do I get it to play the podcasts one after the other like songs? Is this a setup item I missed? Thanks for any help.

The iPod does not use folders like you do in Windows or Mac OS. They are invisible to the user.
You are not explaining yourself very well or you have never used an iPod.
I don't understand how using folders will make it easier than it already is.
If everything is in folders and you do not use playlists, then you have to move everything around into folders to listen to specific music.
I never said playlists were cumbersome but they are sometimes ineffective. Some times you don't want a certain rating or a certain grouping but maybe you just want to listen to one album in order or one podcast.
So select that album or that one podcast and press play.
It's much easier to find that podcast or album by name then it is to scroll through thousands of entries to find the starting title of the group.
Why don't you do it this way now?
I go to
Music -> Albums -> pick one and play
Music -> Podcasts -> pick one and play
That's what the problem was last week I would go to artists choose the artist then the album and then it would play one song and skip to the top menu.
That seems to have been a glitch.
I go to Music -> Artist -> Album and press play. It plays the entire album with all the songs in album in order.
It did it for every album and every song I chose every day of the trip a couple weeks ago and yes they all have there check boxes selected in iTunes.
The check box is used only if you want to use Update only checked songs in iTunes prefs -> iPod. Once the songs are on the iPod, this option has nothing to do with th eiPod.
