Ipod Touch Not Playing Songs

So I just recently purchased a new ipod touch everything worked fine until today when i tried to play some songs and they would not play. It showed the song playing but it wouldnt start and always was on paused even when I clicked play.. Anyone know whats going on?

I ran into the same issue with my new 32gb touch. Everything played fine on my Nano, but when I sync'd my touch, only half the songs played. I have both ipods sync'd with my new computer. When I dusted off my old computer (the one that I actually bought the songs with) and re-sync'd the touch with it, everything worked... So, the only thing I can think of is when I dragged the files to an external hard drive, then dragged them to my new computer, I lost some important data that the touch needed, probably a protection feature. I have everything backed up from the old computer on cd's the long and tedious iTunes way, and will dump my library on the new computer and re-load through the iTunes back-up process, that should fix it.(My non-playing songs show "Protected ACC" on the new computer and "Purchased ACC" on the old computer)

  • 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.

  • IPod Classic not playing songs

    Hi
    Grabbed my 160 GB iPod Classic yesterday and the entire thing was empty. No clue what happened. The only thing I did was update the OS and download a new album from iTunes.
    Resynched the device twice now and now the iPod is not playing some songs. Some play, some tracks skip on to the next one without playing.
    Not finding a clear solution in my searches, though others seem to have had the issue.
    All my songs play fine in iTunes.
    Would love a solution, cuz I like my iPod!
    thanks,
    D

    What format are these problematic files encoded in?  I assume you have worked through all of the suggestions here already?

  • Ipod Does not Play songs

    Ipod does not play music. Instead of playing the song, it just lists the title (like when a song is playing) and then moves to the next song without playing the song. It's as if it automatically forwards to the next song (song titles displays for every second). And this occurs in shuffle mode, and/or selecting a playlist. Need help! Ipod was purchased in this site on May 27,2006.

  • Ipod touch not showing songs in itunes

    I connected my 4th gen ipod touch to my laptop as usual. I have over 3,000 songs on it, but when I click on ipod, then on this ipod, it shows up as zero items. All my songs are still on my ipod, and I use manually manage. I do not want to sync in case I lose everything as I do not keep songs on itunes library. The bar at the bottom shows up as though the songs are there but they are not showing up under devices. It says 9gb free, and the ipod is 32gb.

    - 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
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Do the songs play on the iPod?

  • My iPod will not play songs that I've put on it from my computer.

    It plays Them on iTunes, but they will not play on my iPod.
    It selects the songs, and brings up the screen, and the icon is on play, but the songs do not play.
    They're not songs I bought, it's some that I put on my iPod manually from the music I had on my computer.
    I've restored it, and tried again, but I don't know why that didn't work.
    Please help me! I'm dying of music depravation.

    Are they in a format the iPod can play?

  • IPod is not playing songs and is not being recognised by Windows AT ALL.

    Whenever I turn it on, the error flashes and I can't play songs. When I connect it to a computer, a flashing orange light comes on to say it's charging and do not disconnect.
    It is not appearing in iTunes, My Computer. Device manager shows a 'storage device' and that it is located on an Apple iPod.
    I run the iPod installer that came on the disc, it recognises the iPod is there and says it needs to be formatted. I press format but then it says there was an error communicating with the iPod. There is nothing I can do about this.
    Is this happening to anyone else and what can I do? If you need more information, just ask. Tech support was no real use and I am becoming very frustrated.

  • Ipod sometimes not playing songs..

    my ipod lately has been not playing certain songs. it will skip through the album until it finds one it wants to play i guess is the best way to describe it. it doesnt happen to the same albums every time. when i reset my ipod (select+menu) it sometimes helps, but it still continues to do it. i would hate to reformat my ipod. has this happened to anyone else here?
    thanks

    try to check the settings in your itunes..perhaps you have put a certain song to "skip when playing"..select the song and right click then options and you will find certain options to do with your song...

  • IPod does not play songs in order - iPod Shuffle 1GB

    When I drag songs to the iPod it adds them to the end of the list and then I sort by song name. When I play them on the iPod they are played at the end. When I hook up the iPod they are listed in the right order but that's not how they are played.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPod will not play songs bought from iTunes more than once

    None of the songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store play on my iPod. They play on my Mac, my wife's Mac and my wife's iShuffle, but not my iPod. My iPod is running the lastest software version, and i have the latest iTunes version.
    If I format, reset, restore and reload my music, HOORAH!! they play...ONCE. Then I have to do that all over again if I want to play them again. The songs say they are there, they say they are taking up hdd space, but if I try to play the iPod just thinks about it for a second or two and then skips over the song.
    I have never had any problem with songs ripped off my CD collection.
    Apple are completely useless and offer no assistance and what i have been able to find on their website tells me to do what I've done. Does anyone have any ideas how to make my iPod compatible with the iTunes store?

    This just happened to me on one song I purchased from iTunes (it plays fine on iTunes on my MacBook). I'm on iTunes 8.0 (haven't yet upgraded to newest version). Everything else works fine so should I do this for only one song - or is there another easier fix? I did copy the song to a cd so would it work if I just deleted the one song and imported it? Or is this a sign of a deeper problem?

  • IPod Touch wont play songs

    OK,I know normally this wouldn't be an issue as I could just remove the songs but my computer was recently wiped of all memory so in order to keep all my current music on my iPod I've been manually syncing it. I added some songs a few days ago and they do not play at all and every time I try to play them the iPod just freezes for about a 45 seconds to a minute. Is there anyway that I could just remove the problem songs without removing everything, seeing as I cant sync my iPod to iTunes?
    Thanks a million.

    Seriously? Nobody knows anything about this? It's a really frustrating problem Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • New Airport Express and iPod Touch not playing nicely

    I've been using Verizon FiOS for over a year, and during installation the tech hooked up a wireless Actiontec router. The router worked fine most of the time, but every once in a while it stopped working with the iMac and iPod Touch (1G). Sometimes it would work but then drop the signal for a few moments and reconnect moments later. Sometimes I couldn't connect for days at a time. I would either need to unplug the router for a few minutes or call Verizon to have a tech reset its settings. I do have my Xbox 360 plugged in via ethernet to the router, and during these outages, the Xbox worked. I figured that the router's wireless connection wasn't as compatible as it could be with my iMac and iPod Touch. I decided to purchase an Airport Extreme because my folks have one, and using the iPod Touch there was as easy as could be. It always connects instantly and has a strong signal throughout the house.
    I hooked up my brand new Airport Extreme last week. Verizon's setup is through coax, so I have the coax plugged into the Actiontec, and an ethernet connection from this router to the WAN on the AE. The AE is in bridge mode. Both routers are downstairs next to my TV and Xbox, and my iMac is upstairs. The connection thus fas has been solid on the iMac. I get full signal strength and great download speeds. This isn't any different from the Actiontec; I am just hoping that the AE doesn't drop the signal and need to be reset like the Verizon router needed from time to time. The Xbox 360 is also hooked up to the AE now, via ethernet. It's working just fine, too.
    My problem is now with the iPod Touch. Its connection to the AE is weak in comparison. If I am sitting right on front of the AE downstairs, it works. As soon as I go upstairs (where the Actiontec worked just fine), it loses the signal completely. At the top of my stairs, around fifty feet from the AE with no walls between the AE and iPod, I lose the connection. It simply does not work upstairs, even though this is where the iMac is located. The Actiontec router is no longer broadcasting wirelessly. Obviously I am trying not to use that router because it's unreliable, so I really want the iPod to work with the AE.
    I have read I don't see anything here that helps me. I have reset the network settings on the iPod Touch. I have unplugged and replugged in the Airport. There's not much else I can think of to figure out why the signal reaches the iMac just fine from a distance but not the iPod. If anyone has troubleshooted this before, I'd really appreciate your help.

    I have a very similar problem with my AE! My MacBook, MacBook Pro & iPod Touch (1st Generation) all get a GREAT signal from our AE. BUT, our iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and new iPad (WiFi) get terrible signal strength unless we're right next to the AE!! Tech support at Apple is of no help! I'm ready to sell them all! This all started when we got the last OS update for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. So it must be a software issue not a hardware one..
    Any ideas?

  • Ipod Touch not playing on any speakers!

    If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a 16GB ipod touch from 2008. It has been working great until yesterday, when I brought it into work, put it on the iluv dock and it visually looked like it was playing, but no music was coming out. Naturally, I thought something was wrong with the speakers. So, the next day, I brought in the one I use at home, which is a handheld Memorex dock/speaker system and it will play intermittently at best. I have blown on the ipod, the speakers, to see if that would maybe clean it out somehow but it hasn't helped. If anyone has had any experience with this or could suggest any ways that I might be able to fix it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

    Follow the directions on this page. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    It will put your iPod into recovery mode and should make it visible to Itunes.
    Then you can restore it again and hopefully for the last time.
