Ipod touch wont play music

Ipod touch was playing music and now I try to select a song to play and it does not play but blinks and takes me back to the playlist. It happens to every song I select. I have already tried to power it off and power back on it does not work still

Perhaps [iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1510] or [Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26488?viewlocale=en_US] will help.
Good luck!

Ipod touch wont play music and youtube

i have a second generation ipod touch. I cant watch youtube videos, movies, and play music. It is updated and i restored it. I redownloaded all my data. After that it still didnt work. Also it shutdowns completely by it selves. It freezes up sometimes. Could it be a virus or could be since i dropped it a few times. All the apps, mail, safari, and everything else works fine.
Please help:(
Thank you

If the problem persists after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod then it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Help!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

My Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging

my Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging. We have already restored the settings of the Ipod but it doesnor help. Please your advice.

Yes the manufacturer (Philips) says that the device (CD player with a docking station) should work with my IPod+iOS 6.2.1; we've updated the Ipod to iOS 6.2.1.
We've bought the device this week, so I assume the firmware is up-to-date...
My Ipod also does not work on another device with Apple-docking station, whereas other Ipods do connect with my new Philips device. I think it is pretty clear that my Ipod is the problem?
I think we'd best go to an Applo store?

Why cant my ipod touch 4g play music with headphones?

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

HT1665 I have recently purchased a sony docking station and my ipod touch wont play through speakers. does anyone know why

I cant get my ipod touch to play through a docking station I have recently purchased. A second ipod touch works fine. Can anyone tell me why it wont play through speakers?
thanks

What model iPod and iOS works and which does not?
Sometimes a 4G iPod will not fully sead in the dock because its case configuration is different that previous models.
Also, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility.
Have you checked the dock manufactuer's support stie for compatibility?
Sometimes this works:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My ipod touch wont play through my docking station

hiya i have an ipod touch. aout a week ago it stopped working with my docking station. it wont play through the docking station speakers. ive tried two other ipods on the station and they work fine so its clearly a problem with my ipod. the ipod registers that its plugged into a charging source and starts playing music when its plugged in but through its own speakers rather then the docking station. i've tried doing a full factory reset and that didnt work. does anybody have any suggestions?

- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

IPod touch 3g plays music while locked

For some reason only when the remote headphones are plugged in it'll start playing as if it were haunted about 40 min or so later. It seems to happen if the iPod was playing music and is paused and then locked. I've done my research and it seems this is common and even if I restore or get a refurb it'll still happen. I just want to know if apple is aware of this and if it plans to be fixed?

If the problem isn't the headphones or earbuds, then by elimination the problem has to be the mini output of the iPod Touch - which is known for having problems. If you go to your Apple Store, the Genius Bar will able to take a magnifier and document what problem there is with your iTouch mini output.
If Apple repairs your Touch, the price is likely to run over $170; iPod Juice, which isn't affiliated with Apple, does the same job for considerably less. Or, you could sell it on eBay, stipulating the specific issue to the potential buyer.

My ipod touch doesnt play music anymore.

Everything else works fine but when i click a song on my playlist it looks like its about to play it and then returns straight back to the playlist again. Does anybody know a way to fix this?

Does the music play in iTunes on the computer?
Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My ipod touch stopped playing music in the middle of a song and now stops playing music. It says that it's playing a song but i don't hear anything. I've tried turning it off and on and restoring it's settings.

So like the title (which i thought was suppose to be a question to tech support) suggests, my ipod touch has stopped playing any audio sound. I've turned it off and on and restored it to it's default settings and still nothing. If it helps, it stopped playing music a few minutes after i accidently had some water on it.

- First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
- The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Try both headphones and speaker.
- If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

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.

Ipod touch wont play through speakers anymore

My Ipod touch played and charged fine on my Philips docking station until this week - now they won'tdo either but other ipods work fine so it's not the speakers. Any ideas?

- Make sure the iPod is fully seated in the dock. If you have a 4G those are harder to seat.
- Look at the dock connector for abnormalities. Compare with the working iPods.
- Yu can try the folwing to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

IPod touch wont play apps

Hey I just put some apps onto my iPod touch from the app store on my touch, and when I try to play them it loads up what looks like the first page of the app, then just jumps back to my home page. What do I do?

- typoHi,
1. Try a Reset, hold both buttons down for about ten seconds, ignore the "Slide to turn off" and only let go when the Apple logo pops up in the middle of the screen. Wait a minute or two and your Touch will restart.
Try the App.
2. Remove the App by unchecking, resynch. Then reinstall.
Try App.
3. As 2 but redownload the App from Appstore.
Try App again.
Come back if no go.
Dud.
