Ipod Video says "now playing" but timer stays at 0:00 and no music plays

I just purchased a 30 GB Ipod from a friend, it was restored when I got it, I out all my music on it from i-tunes, and when I went to select a song, it would say "now playing" but no sound was coming out, and the timer stays at 0:00. So even tho it says now playing, it really isn't. Any Idea what the problem is???

I am having the same problem with my 60BG iPod. It will stop between songs, indicating that it is still playing (and not paused), the timer stays at 0:00, but the playback does not continue. I have also had the problem recently where a song will stop mid-way through, again not paused, and will not continue. I reset the iPod but this has not resolved the issue since it is apparently not a one-time problem. Hopefully there is a fix that does not require erasing my entire songlist, and since I manually control my music, using the "restore" feature on iTunes is not an option.

i bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it? people pls help.

omijh,
It will not work no matter how many times you choose to restore your iPod touch. If it is blocked than it is blocked. So prern do not restore your iPod. It will take up your time and will be a waste. Listen to stedman1 and Dave Sawyer. An by the way, Facetime is available on iOS 4...so again you are wrong.

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play. For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

HT1476 Iphone 5 says its charging but just stays at 2%.

When i plug in the Iphone 5 to the wall and my computer it says its charging but its stays at 2%. When i plugged it in at night it was at 2% and when i woke up it said it was charging but still at 2%. Ive tried charging it with my mac but still says its charging and is still at 2%. Can someone please tell me how to fix the issue. My phone has always charged normally and now it wont. Ive tried different cords too.

I understand that, but this doesn't answer my question.
If the battery is actually at 2%, the iPhone would power off with a depleted battery fairly quickly.
How quickly does the iPhone power off with a depleted battery after the iPhone is disconnected from a power source?
Any change after powering the iPhone off and on, a reset which is similar to a computer restart, or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes?
If no change after the latter, the iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

I haven't used my iPod in a few months. Gave it full charge, music showing on screen and in iTunes. But when I push play, it says "Now Playing", but the time isn't moving forward and nothing is playing. I have already reset it and that didn't help.

I've had this iPod Classic for a couple of years, and only use it every so often, mostly when I travel. Just bought a speaker so I can listen in the house. Gave it a full charge. The music is showing up on the screen, and it also shows up in iTunes on my computer. When I try to play something, whether it's a song, artist, album, whatever, the screen shows the name of the song and displays "Now Playing". The time stays on 0.00, however and doesn't move forward; and no sound is coming out whether on the new docking speaker or with a headset. I tried the reset procedure, but still no change. Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!

A 4th gen iPod can not be upgraded to iOS 8. 7.0.2 is the high version it can run.

Ipod Classic, no Now Playing for videos?

Is this only on my classic, or am I the only one who is bothered by this? When I pause a video on my ipod to go through a playlist or back to the main menu, there isn't a 'now playing' option to resume the video i was watching. Also If I pause the video for too long and the ipod shuts off I can't resume the video when I turn it back on. The previous generation wasn't like this, is it just the Classic I own? It's making it a bit harder to watch movies on the go, if I can't turn off and on my ipod without losing my place in a movie. It's like reading a book without a book mark.

HT1212 I just bought a new ipod touch from a friend but she didn't reset it and everytime that I try to rest it, it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes" but I'am connected to Itunes and it also says put in correct passcode?? how do I reset it

I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Ipod Touch restarts 'now playing' when turned off?

I use to be a 2nd gen ipod nano user and I just play my songs from the song list (not artist, album, genre etc.). Every time I turn it off and turn it back on, it shows the last song I listened to and the position I'm at (For example, 123 of 400).
Now that I switched over to an ipod Touch, every time I turn it off and turn it back on, it can't remember what song I last listened to and restarts my playlist position (For example, I'm at song 56 of 300 and when I restart it, it goes back to 1 of 300)
This is very frustrating to me. Is there a way for the ipod Touch to do what I described in the ipod nano?? Or is that just the way it's made?!

If you put it in sleep mode by briefly pressing the sleep/wake button on the top, and then go to turn it back on by briefly pressing the sleep/wake button or home button, it will continue where you left off in the playlist.
If you shut it completely down by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button until you get the 'slide to power off' message and then go to turn it back on, it will not continue where you left off. It will just display the playlist you were in.

Ipod stuck in "now playing" mode

but nothing is playing. I believe the problem started when I uploading a music CD to the itunes software. All of the songs read "Track01 Track02" etc. When my daughter selected "Track10" it went to "now playing" but no music. Now it's just stuck there. I've tried to connecting to computer in an attempt to delete the tracks, but no luck. It won't power down. Is there a way to reset, remove the battery, etc. to get this thing working?
thanks, John

Update....I read another post about how to reset and it is playing okay now. However, why does itunes not recognize the name of the songs instead of just "tracks" when uploading musical cds? Other songs that I transferred from "my music" over to the ipod had the names of the songs.
thanks
