IPod touch keeps mixing up my songs

My iPod touch keeps mixing up my songs. When I try to play certain songs it displays the cover art and info for the song I selected but consistently plays a completely different song. I reload the affected song and it works fine after that, but then another song suddenly gets mixed up.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to stop it?

Hi, mine does the same thing. It started happening about two software updates ago. My songs will only play in random order. It really *****.

  • Why does my iPod touch keep repeating the same song?

    Since I loaded the software update 4.1 my music keeps replaying one song unless I choose to shuffle. What have I done?

    Hello jennysipod,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure you don't have your iPod set to repeat one song. While one song is playing, tap the artwork to bring up additional controls. You'll see a icon below the scrubber on right side that probably has a 1 on it. Tap it to change the setting to something else such as off.

  • I recently was given someone elses ipod touch.  There are some songs on there I want to keep and many I want to delete.  Is there a way to upload the songs to my mac  so I can add them to a play list I have and delete the one's I don't want?

    I recently was given someone else's ipod touch.  It has some songs I would like to keep, but most I would like to delete without losing the one's I like.  Is there anyway to either upload songs to itunes in my mac or sync a playlist with the ipod without erasing all the music currently on the ipod.  Also, is there a way to delete specific tunes on the ipod?
    Thanks.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

  • First-time user of IPod Shuffle, my husand has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs already on his ITunes account. If Is it possible to have two ITunes accounts so his music is not automatically loaded onto my new Shuffle?

    Just bought an IPod Shuffle; my husband has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs on his ITunes account.  Is it possible to have two different accounts on the same computer to prevent his music from being loaded onto my Shuffle?

    When you say "iTunes account," I think you mean iTunes library.  An iTunes "account" is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store (your Apple ID) and purchase songs (and other media).  The iTunes library is what you have on your computer, with your songs and playlists.  That is what you use for syncing iPods.
    You can have a separate iTunes library.  If you create a new user account on your computer (using Windows) and log in to that user account, iTunes will create a new iTunes library for that account.  In fact, Windows will keep ALL of your documents separate, as if you are using a separate computer.  That is probably the best way to keep your songs in a different iTunes library.
    You can also create a separate iTunes library in the same Windows user account, if you use this procedure to switch between iTunes libraries
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1589
    Also, you can use the same iTunes library, and decide what songs you want put on the shuffle.  iTunes does not automatically put songs on the shuffle, unless you tell it to do so.  This document explains how to load content on shuffles
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When connected, your shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
    FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual on this support web page for the shuffle

  • My iPod touch is stuck on one song in my play list when in the shuffle mode.  How do I fix this to shuffle through all the songs in that playlist?

    If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.

  • My ipod touch os5 wont sync the song artist with my itunes... help me... i wan't my ipod song artist to be organized again like lha last OS...

    my ipod touch os5 wont sync the song artist with my itunes... help me... i wan't my ipod song artist to be organized again like lha last OS...
    i already organized my ipod songs name and all the artist.. buat it won't sync with my iPOD using OS5... i have no problem before using OS5... thank you...

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing, now wont open at all.

    I got my ipod touch a little under a year ago, and soon after getting it i noticed that the music would randomly stop and go to the homepage. It wasn't that bad because the music would always come back up, and it didn't happen that often. But then it started getting more and more often. Recently it started taking two or three times to get music to open, and now it crashed last night, and even after two hours of nothing but trying to open it, it still wont open. I'm getting a new ipod soon, but i wanted to know if there was any quick fix.

    This is kinda weird... My iPod touch keeps crashing although I got os 3.1.3.
    It always crashes while tring to play chalkboard stunts.
    I got a second generation iPod touch. Any help would be very helpful.

  • My iPod Touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't accept it.

    My iPOD touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't take.  It took it numerous times earlier in the day.

    Maybe at one point, you may have miss typed the code when setting up the code. You'll have to factory reset your iTouch.
    Try restoring in Recovery Mode:
    iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into Recovery Mode
    If unsuccessful, try DFU mode:
    iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into DFU Mode
    After fully restored, set up with one of your back ups:
    iOS: How to back up
    Or set as new iPod:

    Hope this helps.

  • 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.
    Next:
    - Reset the car system.
    - 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

    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
