Brand new ipod touch randomly skipping songs, brand new ipod touch randomly skipping songs

IPod touch randomly skipping songs

I have recently overhauled my entire iTunes music library and sorted out all of my albums, album artwork and artist names etc in preparation for syncing all these songs onto my iPod (well over 240 albums, 3,500 songs and roughly 30 gig of music data)
I selected "Songs" and have shuffled the entire library so I get a mixture of tunes while walking my dog. I have noticed that the iPod will randomly start and stop songs, this mainly happens near the end of a song - the track length is 4:18 and it will stop at 4:15 and go to the next song. I have checked my settings and the option to shuffle tracks when the iPod is shaken is turned off.
I have also experienced that there has been approximately 30 seconds left of a track and then it will go into an entirely different song from another artist. When I click the arrow to go to the next track it will pick this exact song and the time or section of the song it's up to (for example 2:04 into the next song).
When I say that I've overhauled my music library, I converted songs in iTunes to AAC 256kbps format (iTunes plus), I noticed some longer songs defaulted to a time of 4:58 (usually these were 6 minute + songs) so I converted these to AAC 256kbps using a third party program (MediaHuman Audio Converter).
I currently have all of my music residing on another hard drive separate to my Windows 7 OS. I'm at a loss as to what to do as I've restored my iPod several times, manually deleted music and re-added it all with the same errors. They do not seem to happen on particular music tracks as I place the iPod on shuffle often so it will be random what I hear during a walk.
Any advice or replies are appreciated - it really has me stumped as to what is going on.

When connected to my 2014 Buick Enclave, the iPod touch automatically begins to repeat songs.

Hi - When connected to my 2014 Buick Enclave via USB, the repeat function on the iPod touch automatically engages and the songs repeat. I have to manually disengage the repeat function to finish an album, then do it again when the next album begins to repeat. There is no "repeat" button on the Enclave's system, only "shuffle", which works fine with the iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

First I would go the the car system's support site.

- Reset the car system.

IPod automatically skips song

I just bought a song from the itunes store and it plays just fine in my itunes library. I put it on my ipod (nano 2nd gen) but the ipod is automatically skipping the song but is playing all my other songs just fine. I have restored it twice and it still is skipping it. Is there something else I can do or is my song file bad? Any help would be awesome!
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you have restored the iPod and are playing the song in iTunes (which would activate it for the iPod), then there could be something wrong with the song (in which case they'd get you a new version). However, there are others steps to try.
Every week, iTunes has a free song of the week. Try downloading that song and seeing if it plays on your iPod. A link is available below (and will open iTunes on your computer)...
Click here to open iTunes to the free song of the week
If this song does not work, then there is another issue at hand.
In addition, try the steps listed here (specifically under the purchased songs section)...

My I Touch keeps skipping songs, these songs play on my i tunes but wont play on my i touch

My I Touch keeps skipping songs that I have downloaded onto it. These songs play on my I Tunes but wont play on my I Touch. At first it was just a few new songs at first but now its getting worse. Help!

Hello all - I had the same problem with my iPod Touch - The problem with mine was that it started happening when I added new music to my iPod Touch it started skipping most of the songs when I tried playing it in my car stereo, it would only play some songs but not all (my solution) - I back tracked and deleted ALL the NEW songs that I had added recently and after deleting ALL the new songs I tested my iPod Touch and it started working normal again so the problem wasn't the iPod Touch the problem was one or more of the new songs I added was corrupted and it was causing my iPod to skip most of the songs I tried to play - Nothing I tried was helping NOTHING - All you need to do is back track to all the songs you added recently and delete them until your iPod Touch starts functioning normal again...Hope this helps it sure helped me ;-)

Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod? If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?

Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock? How do I get this to stop? I have already done a factory restore and then reloaded my music onto this iPod.

I had this problem after upgrading to iOS4, but didn't discover it until I got to the gym and went to start my workout! No music (except the stuff they play at the gym) meant a short workout for me!
I figure that the glitch comes from the fact that when you upgrade to iOS4 iTunes takes a backup of your iPod, does the firmware update and then puts the backed up content back on, I'm thinking that there are some subtle differences between iOS3 and iOS4 that cause confusion.
THE FIX! I have found that the best fix (in fact the best course of action) is to restore the iPod from iTunes (just hook it up and hit the "Restore" button and tell iTunes to treat it as a new iPod. Then just re-sync all your content and it should work perfectly. It is a much easier way of getting your iPod updated without as many glitches.
HTH!!

Why is my iPod Touch 5 removing songs I have synched? Plenty memory space

Why is my iPod Touch 5 removing songs I have synched? Plenty memory space. It seems to be deleting tracks which I can then download from iCloud (if there is wifi) but I dont want that

Seems like you have the incorrect sync settings
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Many users think it is easer to sync if Show All is turned off in Settings>iTunes and App Store
