Ipod touch would start in middle of songs/remembers placement when skipped

Ipod touch start in middle of songs. When I put it shuffle or skip to the next song it starts at random times for the next song. Apparently the ipod remembers where I press the next botton to skip songs and keeps that placement in that song for next time when it comes up on shuffle. Is there any way to turn this off where whenever it goes to a new song it will play from the beginning rather than where it last left off?

Hello there,
I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
Hope this helps.

  • My sons Ipod touch would start charging and then the screen turns white and it freezes.  I am trying to figure out how to reset it, but it is not letting me.

    My son's ipod touch is not charging because the screen turns white and it freezes up.  Trying to reset it and figure out the problem but don't kno what to do.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

    My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

    I have an Ipod touch.  Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs.  Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
    All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes.  A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes.  I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
    I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help. 
    I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
    the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
    I'd appreciate any help.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

    Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
    1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
    2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen stops shuffling at song 12 repeat and shuffle bars are blue - what could be wrong

    my ipod touch 4th gen stops shuffling at song 12, and the music stops all together, does not go to next song - I am playing my ipod on my Bose system  -  the repeat and shuffle bars remain blue - it only occurs on this particular playlist -Note:  I created this playlist on my ipad - the first ipad out - with icloud it is on my ipod as well -  I am totally baffled - and have checked settings, etc - do you think i need to connect to computer to sync?  Please help

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?

  • After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

    After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
    Anybody else experiencing this issue?
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...

  • How to erase ipod touch and start over

    Hello All,
    Michael K. here. This is my first post and my first time here. I hope you can help. Thanks.
    I downloaded IOS 8 a few days ago onto my iPod Touch, 5th gen.
    Ever since I put the IOS 8 on I've had nothing but problems! ----- ie: message states I have no internet  connection. I don't. How do I get it back?
    I've checked my setting in the Wi-Fi section and my ID is there, with a checkmark next to it. Above it though is: Wi-Fi with the green area on the on/off switch showing. My ID has a padlock, the wi-fi symbol and the circled i.
    When I go to the ICloud page on the ipod ( as instructed in the ipod IOS 8 manual I found on the internet ) it has my name at the top of the page, my email address in small letters directly under it and then a space that asks for my password.I changed my password on my Mac-mini ( which I'm using now ) about an hour ago. I've typed my password into that space a million times, just to be sure I wasn't mistyping it but after waiting through the " verifying " process, I get a message that reads : " The password you entered is incorrect " ----- then there's an " OK " to check.
    Please help!
    I just got this Mac-mini four days ago, replacing an HP ChromeBox. I thought that this was gonna be smooth sailing since the swap. Wrong!
    Very frustrating not to be able go listen to podcasts on the iPod and also miss the music while exercising.
    So I thought that by " wiping out the iPod Touch " and starting with a " New " ipod, I could get the thing working again.
    As you've no-doubt surmised, I'm not very computer literate. My reason for wiping out the Touch is because that's how I remember to " fix " many things.
    Heck, just unplug it, wait 15-20 seconds, plug it in again, and Viola!!!!! the problem is fixed.
    But should I wipe out my ipod? There's nothing really on it that I need. I can install stuff I want again later.
    Anyway, sorry for the long rant, but can anyone tell me what to do to get m iPod working again?
    I'd REALLY appreciate it!
    Thank you,
    Michael K.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch will only play the same song over and over unless you manually fast forward?

    My ipod touch will not shuffle through the songs. It just plays the same song over and over.  All that shows at the top is the info picture.  How do I fix this?

    Do this:
    Play a song.
    Tap the screen once so you see the scrubber.
    To the left of the scrubber, there's a set of two arrows going in a circle - if it's blue, it's set to repeat.
    Click on it once to make it white - no repeat.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.
