Ipod stops on a lot of songs with 20 sec. left

I just got an 80 gig ipod last week, and for some reason it will get to around 20 seconds left on the song and just move to the next one. I have done the 5 r's and the songs play fine in itunes. This is driving me crazy please help

I have had this problem many times too. The way to fix it is to delete the bad entry from ur itunes library, (not the actual file, just the itunes entry) then sync ur ipod. This will get the bad song off of the ipod. Disconnect the ipod. Re-add the song to ur library. Then re-sync ur ipod to rewrite the song to the ipod. Sometimes files get written badly to ipod. This is the way to correct the issue.

    How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

    When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
    If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
    now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

  • IPod updates a lot of songs with no apparent reason

    Since today I've noticed that every time I plug my 5g 30GB iPod in, iTunes updates about 5GB of songs with no reason. I didn't touch the songs in the meantime.
    I found somebody else with the same problem in the forums, but with no solution.
    I don't use manual syncing, because I use a smart playlist to fill up my ipod and want my ratings and play count synched automatically also.
    I didn't have this problem before.
    Thank you in advance for any help, maybe it's a bug that Apple will soon fix.

  • IPod stops in the middle of songs

    This is a new problem, just started after updating to the new Itunes firmware. I have tried resetting and wiping my entire ipod, upgrading to the newest firmware, etc but my ipod randomly stops during a song. Sometimes its a few minutes, sometimes its a few seconds. I am at wit's end with it and it is extremely frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I had a similar problem with 1 song and my ipod nano. basically the song played fine in itunes and fine on my touch but the nano would stop the song about halfway through. After doing some tests here is what I did that seemed to resolve the problem.
    1. Right Click on the problem song in itunes and select show in explorer or finder. This will open the file location
    2. Duplicate the file and add the duplicate file to itunes
    3. After you have added the file to itunes alter the name of the song so that you know that it is the duplicate. Right click on the duplicate file in itunes and select get info make sure the "Where:" is showing the duplicate file name.
    4. Sync your ipod make sure you've set it up so that the duplicate file is put on the ipod.
    5. Check the song make sure it plays through
    6. Here's the downside you have to go to each playlist that you have the problem song in and put the duplicate song in there next to it.
    7. Go to the music library find the original problem song and DELETE IT FROM YOUR LIBRARY NOT YOUR HARD DRIVE SO WHEN ASKED TO DELETE THE ACTUAL FILE SAY NO
    8. Go back to the explorer or finder window with the files in it and delete the duplicate.
    9. Go back to itunes and double click on the duplicate file you added earlier which will give you a prompt that it cannot find the file find the original file and select it.
    10. Restore your tag information and your done.

  • 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

  • Hpc310 stopped updating at 2of2 with 1 sec left

    my hp c310 printer would only print very lightly , i cleaned then vents on cartridges and tried to update on web and it stopped  at 2 of 2 with one second left.

    Thanks
    I phoned my local support shop and the know this problem.
    Will go there this afternoon, if they can fix it right away
    it will be a fast one.
    Otherwise the n73 will be replaced; they told me it had to do with bad soldering of the hardware. During FW upgrade these problems pop-up, they do not occur during normal operations......

  • 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!

  • IPod stops playing and gives apple symbol with weird colors.

    My IPod was in my pocket for only about 2 minutes and it stopped playing music and gave me a weird apple symbol and blue with white shading every where like it encountered a virus or something. It goes back shortly after but it keeps happening. Is this a known issue with the newer IPod Classic? Do I have to restore my IPod? I have had this IPod for about a year. Any ideas of what is going on??

    Maybe try restoring your ipod. Some of the files could have become corrupted.
    Hope this helps...

  • Upon upgrade to 11 Iost a lot of songs with the!. I've looked thru normal proceedures tried a few with no sucess, can I ever recover the missing originals, can I undo 11 ?

    after upgrade to 11, I lost hundreds of songs, searched files seems 11 has maybe deleted them, tried several different things including recovery software,still no luck, can I undo 11?

    Focus on a single file that shows with an exclamation mark. Select it, press CTRL+I to Get Info, click No when prompted to locate the file, and look at the location given on the summary tab. Now use Windows search to locate the file by searching for files with the same filename. Post back both paths and I can suggest a resolution. In the unlikely event that the original has really vanished rolling back to an earlier version of iTunes won't fix anything.

    1. My 3G and 4G service is going out.

    3. It gets very hot with little to no use.
    4. Sound doesn't work sometimes.
    5. Battery life is utter garbage.
    6. The camera is horrible.
    I've called up already and did a soft and hard reset. I am unable to send it in for repairs and they couldn't fix it at the store. I am very upset and either want a fix or I want to be able to trade it in for a new phone.
    Hi Jaredk
    3 and 5 are related, 1 and 2 may  be part of that as well.  The camera has terrible lag and all in all isn't that impressive but that's being addressed.  I haven't had or heard any issues with the sound cutting out.
    Have you tried going to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode and select CDMA Only to see if that fixes any of the issues you're seeing?  Specifically the reboots and heat.
    For the reboots I would recommend un-installing most of your apps and then slowly add them back until you notice the reboots start up.

    Found this solution in another thread, what you want to do is go into the Nike Fitness thing, go to run, go to Spoken Feedback and set it to off. This should fix your problems.

  • IPod touch stop playing music after two songs!!

    Hello,
    I hope you can help me, because my problem is very frustrating. I am listening to my iPod touch, in my car through the car speakers, or through the earbuds. Once a song stops playing and the next song after it starts playing, the second song gets about 20-30 seconds into it, and then it stops. Completely stops, and I look at it and I am back at the home screen. This does not happen every-time, but I still don't know why it does this.
    I also have another problem of the same type, but this has to do with the videos in YouTube. I watch a YouTube video almost all the way through, but then at the end, maybe 1 minute left or so, it stops, and goes back to the home screen.
    Also, when I am on the internet, Safari, and I am listening to music while loading a page, the music stops quickly after the page starts to load and then everything gets put back to the home screen.
    I know thats a lot to read, and maybe reply to, I'm sorry, but those are all my problems.
    Thank you so much for your time.
    -Sean

    I have the exact same problem as originally reported. The song stops in the middle and then proceeds to the next song. One time I also saw the failure where I was returned to the main screen. More details follow.
    My issue is 100% repeatable when it happens. As an example, I have a song I purchased on iTunes and downloaded last night. The song is 3:53 long and when I play it on my iPod Touch, while watching the "progress" bar, it consistently stops when the song reaches exactly 1 minute played. The progress bar continues silently for a few more seconds before then proceeding to the next song. This happens 100% consistently. However, if I manualy drag the progress indicator past the 1 minute mark while playing this song, the song will then play successfully until the end. I have the latest version, 1.1.2, on my iPod Touch.

  • Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

    I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

    The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes.  If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
    When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window.  There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs.  Did you check that checkbox?  If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled.  If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply.  Click Apply.
    That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs.  If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.
