Ipod turns itself off - only playing 1 certain album!

on Monday evening I purchased Ne-Yo- Year of the Gentleman via the i-tunes store.
Having played the album on Tuesday morning, I incurred a problem. It will play 2-3 songs perfectly fine, but if I go to skip to the next song the ipod turns it self off and the apple icon appears on the screen.
The ipod loads up again after about 2 minutes but obviously this is a very inconveinet and annoying problem.
I have tried playing other play lists and it doesn’t have the same problem its only Ne-Yo.
Can you give me an idea of what the problem is and how to correct it?
Thanks

I was hoping either a reset or restore would do the trick. In this case it could be the album itself may be the culprit. So, the only thing I can suggest is to ask Apple if you can download the album again. I'm not sure if Apple will allow it though given their strict iTunes download policy. You may want to try anyway.
I suspect it could be either a bad tag in the songs or a corrupt file.

  • IPod turns itself off in dock

    I have a new iPod classic 160gb. From time to time, the iPod turns itself off while playing, but only while in a speaker dock. This has happened in two different docks, including the Bose SoundDock and the Griffin Journi. Somewhere midway through a song, the music stops, the backlight comes on, it goes into charging mode. If I hit play, it continues as if nothing has happened.
    I don't have a problem listening through headphones, anyone else see this?

    Add me to this list.
    Along with the frustrating, well known and widely shared iTunes freezing issues, my (second, first one returned)silver 160GB classic also experiences this 'shutoff' in my iHome dock. I haven't had this issue with my DLO Homedock deluxe, but when in my iHome speaker dock playback starts fine but then just shuts off midway through a song when it feels like it, then like was said, goes to the charging battery screen. So, this new iPod has made iTunes, old video docks and now even my iHome dock worthless. I've really begun to question the intellegence of this 'upgrade'.

  • IPod turns itself off

    I have had my iPod classic for almost 3 years, and it has started to turn itself off without me telling it to. It will do this while I am playing a song. I would prefer to not buy another one. Anyone have ideas?

    Well the most obvious question is: is the battery running down which is then causing your iPod to turn off?
    After a few years the battery will not re-charge properly and the play time will then be much shorter. Check the battery status button while your iPod is playing to see how long before it drops from full charge to empty. If it is quite quick - and that is why your iPod is turning off, your options are have the battery replaced (either by Apple or a thrid party) or buy a new iPod.
    The next most obvious question - if the above is not the problem - can you turn the iPod on again immediately, is it always the same song (or songs) that causes the iPod to turn off?

  • Satellite 2430-S255 turns itself off while playing video clips

    My Toshiba Notebook Satellite 2430-s255 turns itself off within 5 minutes whenever I play streaming video clips from web sites using Windows Media Player version 10.0. I uninstall version 10 and used version 9, but there was no difference. Computer has 512 meg memory and 10 gig of extra space on harddisk.
    There is no problem when I play DVD using the same software.
    Toshiba support has been telling me that cpu is working hard and it heats up to cause this problem. I used fan to circulate the air, but computer still turns itself off.
    Can some one help.

    HI Jyotsna,
    Any graphics activity will tend to make your notebook run hotter and will therefore need adequate cooling.
    Check that your airways through the CPU heatsink are not clogged with dust and debris (lots of threads in this forum about it), and also make sure that there is sufficient air gap under your notebook to allow air to get in to the fan vents.

  • TS1363 my ipod turned itself off and now it wont come back on

    My ipod was fully charged & it turned itself off & now it wont came back on. What should I do? I sometimes have the same problem with my iphone3GS.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. (And there is no need to SHOUT.)

  • HT3798 my 1 week old new ipod classic doesnt seem to play certain albums/songs that play fine in itunes and fine on my old ipod. any ideas why?

    i have just purchased a new ipod classic about a week ago and it wont play certain songs/albums and stops them halfway through the track. if you fast forward past the spot it plays and it plays perfectly on itunes and on my old i[od. any ideas?? HELP

    Since the iPod is only a week old, I would consider returning it to Apple or wherever you purchased it from and showing them what is happening.  If they decide that the unit is faulty, they'll swap it out for you at no cost.

  • My ipod turns itself on, starts playing, and then dead battery.

    Try resetting your ipod. If that dosent work you can restore you ipod.

    My IPod Turned Off By Itself & Now It's Not Wanting To Turn On.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my ipod turn itself off when I try to sync it?

    Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch to the computer it starts the sync and then my ipod restarts, i cant restore my ipod because I have loads of songs and apps on it, which I havent been able to transfer to the computer. What can I do?

    Try resetting the iPod.  Nothing will be lost.
    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.
    You can also try another cable and usb port.

  • My Ipod Nano keeps turning itself off halfway through a song, anyone know why this happens?

    I have had my Nano since November and have downloaded cds and music of downloads.  When I play the ipod halfway through a song the ipod turns itself off. Do you think this is a fault with the Ipod or am I doing something wrong when downloading the music?

    Hey jokoboco,
    At this point get your ipod service with apple. Have your Serial number ready. Sounds like your iPod has a hardware issue, a kind of defect. Use any of these options:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    or
    1800 MY APPLE
    or
    apple.com/retail
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod touch turns itself off automatically

    I got my iPod touch 2G 16GB this Monday and it reacts strangely when it plays music or video using the speaker, it turns itself off automatically. Is it because of the low battery? Or anything else?

    it might be because of the battery, or it could just be that it is putting itself in "sleep" mode, if that is what has happened it will "wake" when you push the hold or the home button. but im not sure this is just a guess. what happens when you push one of the buttons after it has shut down? does it continue to play the music once it has turned off?

  • What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was  when I was online ,but have to start games over.

    What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was  when I was online ,but have to start games over.

    The original iPad has a slow processor and only 256 MB of memory so it often runs into low-memory failures.
    Double click the home button and dismiss all of the recents - I do that weekly.
    Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider - I also do that weekly.
    Both seem to help to reduce the low-memory faults that occur.
