IPod Stops & Starts

This started just this morning.  My iPod is fully charged, and I was listening to it with headphones.  It played for about 2 minutes, then stopped.  I hit the Play button and it started playing again...then stopped again after 2 minutes.  I've never had this happen before.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

If you are using an iPod Classic, do a iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON. then release the buttons

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

    my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
    I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
    I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My iPod classic has stop working and when ever i try to synch it there is a alert saying that do not disconnect it and there are some songs which when i try to play the iPod re-starts again so please tell me what is the issue

    my iPod classic has stop working and when ever i try to synch it there is a alert saying that do not disconnect it and there are some songs which when i try to play the iPod re-starts again so please tell me what is the issue and some sound is comming from the back pannel .
    so please do something about it and give me the solution
    thank you,
    Saajan jain

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!

  • IPod stops syncing after a while, won't eject and then crashes iTunes

    Whenever I try to update my iPod Classic 80GB, after 1000 songs or so the iPod stops syncing (gets stuck on a song). Then the iPod won't eject, even when dragged into trash.
    Then, when trying to eject iPod or quit iTunes, iTunes crashes and has to be force quitted with iPod cable removed.
    When I check my iPod it says there is no music/photos etc on it.
    I have reinstalled the latest iTunes and restored my iPod with the latest version, my OS software is all up to date too.

    Actually at 1200ish songs the iPod hard drive starts making some severe clicking/clanking noises. I'm guessing it means the hard drive is screwed since it's the same symptoms as my last iPod
    Why does this happen? Both my iPods were about 2 years old when the hdd's started clicking, surely hdd's last for more than two years?

  • Ipod stops syncing after about 11gb on data transferred

    ok, my ipod stops syncing after i transfer about 11gb of data.
    my music collection alone is 12gb, i also have alot of photos and videos and other contents.
    it doesnt matter which format the ipod is in, mac formatted or windows formatted its the same result.
    its an 80Gb ipod classic.
    any one have any clue as to why this is happening?

  • IPod stops playing when using Safari

    Ever since I updated to 1.1.2, everytime I'm listening to the iPod and open Safari to surf, the iPod stops playing after about a minute or two. The song isn't over, and its not at the end of the playlist. The music doesn't fade out either, like its receiving a call or email. Just straight up cuts out. I tried restarting the phone, which helped the first time, but now it starting doing it again. I've searched for answers elsewhere, to no avail. Thanks!

    I had heard about this for quite awhile, but never experienced it. Then the other day I was sitting outside an Apple Store, listening to some music and decided to take advantage of the free wifi for a moment. Suddenly every song would stop everytime a page loaded or a I used the back button. Totally reproduceable.
    I held down the start/off button and turned off my iPhone, waited a few seconds, turned it back on, and the problem went away -- at least for the time beling.
    Sorry I don't know a permament solution, but that did work for me.

  • 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.

  • Ipod stopped working with iTrip

    My iPod stopped working with my iTrip very mysteriously. I left it in the car for 2 hours (as I always do at work) and it worked when I left and wouldn't work when I went to drive home. I've replaced the iTrip and know that it works with another iPod (identical to mine and bought at the exact same time).
    Does anyone know if there's way to fix this?

    I just started having issues with my iPod as well. It is paired with my JVC receiver through an iPod adapter. I can normally control my iPod through the JVC once it is connected, but the last few days I have had to control it through the iPod itself. The screen on the receiver says connecting, but never does unless I do manually.( pressing play on the iPod). I can still see song titles, but no control. IE pause, next or previous songs. Nothing seems to work, and have treid powering both off then back on. Is this an update issue that wont let them pair anymore? I also tried a friends iphone and seemed to work fine with the JVC, so the receiver is not the issue.

  • Volumne control via the earphones is not working, all other functions stop,start, next/orevíous title work fine

    Hello,

    All other functions available at the switch on the earphones work fine (Stop, Start, next/previous title, accept incoming call)
    I have already several times rebooted the iPhone 5S.
    I'm gratefull for every hint

    Hello Any one? Apple?
    Ah forget it... it been two weeks and nothing.
    The product wasn't even designed to last for 2 years, and mine is trash after less than one.
    I will NEVER buy another song from the itunes store or another iPod. or even another Mac product for that matter.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer friend. My admin has successfully killed my session forcebully. And he doubted that i may not have enough rights to Stop/Start application and he provided me the required rights. After that also the error is repeating as below. we two are not getting where we went wrong.

  • IPod stopped sync with iTunes

    My iPod will no longer sync with iTunes, I see the Ipod, it starts to sync, goes to step 4 (waiting for changes to be applied) then finishes but does not sync.

  • TS1369 I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not in itunes. At this point my ipod is connected to my computer but when it finishes syncing it's no

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?
