Ipod will "pause" randomly in a song

My ipod nano will pause when i am liseing to it in a middle of a song and i will have to unpause it...even when i have it on "locked" it will still pause
does ne one kno why?

Your iPod is probably 4th generation. New to generation 4 is a feature that pauses the iPod when the earbuds are disconnected. A nice feature except that some buds have plugs that are just a little wiggly in the socket and this wiggle can trigger the pause. You might try wrapping a wee bit of tape around part of the jack.

IPod will pause randomly! Driving me crazy!!!

Can anyone help me??
I recently bought a new 60GB video iPod and since i can remember, it has been pausing on its own when i play a song. this does not happen all of the time and it is not because i am accidentally hitting pause in my pocket or anything (i have tested it by just holding it in my hand). at random times it will just pause like every 4 seconds or so a couple of times and then be fine for several minutes until it starts up again. does anyone know what this may be and if there is anything i can do to fix it???

yeh ive got a video 60gb and i also get the problem but for me it only happens wen i watch a video.
ive test the microphone jack, because theres some auto pause function.
its really frustrating but wat in pauses i will have to fastfoward to the point it gets unpaused. if i let it sit there paused it will become unpaused but without any sound :S

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.   Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

TS3474 My Ipod will not play the next song, it continously plays the same song unless I manually change it

My iPod will not play the next song, it continously plays the same song unless I manually change it.

It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

IPod Touch Pauses randomly

My 16gig Touch has been pausing randomly while playing music. I took a 3 block walk and it paused 7 times. From the music screen, screen turned off, main menu, ect. It will do it even when nothing is touching the screen, I have reset it twice now and it still does it (even worse with the 2.0 software upgrade)

same problem.....8GB....It will play a song and randomly pause mid song....Sometimes 4 or 5 times in one song.

My IPod will only play the same song in the playlist. What is happening?

My Ipod will only play one song (over and over) in a play list. It was workig fine and then all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please help.

Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
Hope this helps

My iPod Touch pauses randomly. Can anyone help me?

Hello!
So my iPod has this strange tendency to pause randomly while it plays music. It has gotten to the point where it makes listening to music impossible (and therefore the iPod useless). I have tried everything:
-the 5 or 6 R's that Apple is promoting
-i have changed headphones numerous times (i think it might be the headphone jack)
-i have even sent it into apple care and they sent it back saying they are "unable to reproduce the symptoms"
It seems to work properly when i plug it into a stereo that has the same hookup as the ipod update cable.
can anyone help me!

Mine also pauses at random, I think it has something to do with the battery or power management, which can be either software or hardware related. it happens mostly at random for me but seems to get worse as it gets down into the red.
things I have tried to fix it
different headphones (still did it)
restore (still did it)
restore w/ no apps (still did it)
bluetooth headphones (via a bluetooth adapter since its 1st gen) (still did it but VERY rarely).
Also I would like to add that when i'm running it on an ipod dock, it still does it but not very. (so its not just the headphone jack)
i'm running 2.2.1 i'm thinking of upgrading just to see if it fixes it, any success stories?
I called apple and they want $199 to fix it which I think is completely bs!

Got a new macbook, when i sync my iPod, will it erase all my songs

So will it erase all my songs when i sync it to my new macbook?

Yes. An iPod is designed to only sync with one iTunes library/computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it whatever is in the new library empty or not.
So what'll you want to do is copy all of your content on your iPod to your new Macbook Pro and into iTunes. You can transfer purchases from the iPod to iTunes via File -> Transfer purchases. For music outside of iTunes you'll need the help of some sort of third party program such as Senuti to help you get the job done.

My ipod will not advance to next song, how can I fix this?

My ipod nano will not advance to next song, neither in regular play or shuffle. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

Your sequence settings and clip settings are not matching. To make them match, right click on a clip and choose New Sequence from Clip and a new sequence will be created based on your clip settings.

Ipod playing at random part in song after on pause

I pressed pause on my ipod and came back to it about 1/2 an hour later. I pressed play and it started playing somewhere different in the song! Near to the start, but not at the start!
I just updated my software-however I updated it while the ipod was plugged in...maybe I should not have done that?

It's possible that you triggered the touchpad to do something while you had it in your pocket. I can work all the controls on my 5th gen unit through the fabric of every pair of slacks I've tried it with. (I also have a hard plastic case that covers the whole thing except the ports and click wheel, which makes it easier to do things by feel.)

Ipod will load only a few songs of my library

I have about 341 songs (1.6GB)in my library. When I try to copy all the songs to my 20GB Ipod only 24 (85MB) will load into the Ipod then I get a windows error message that says "Attempting to copy to disk "Ipod" failed. An unknown error occured". I have run check disk on the Ipod in disk mode and have reformated it and restored it. When I look at the Ipod disk in system manager it says the disk is 'healthy' and almost all of it unused. Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks!

hi Walter!
Thanks for your help. I have run CDcheck on all the songs and it says there are no errors. Also I have set the ipod to manual update and have selceted different groups of songs and no matter which shongs I select the update always fails with a -69 error after 22-24 songs; seems to be realted to size and not number of songs.
good man! that's an excellent series of experiments.
... well, it looks like our best bet now is trying to swap out your Belkin for an Adaptec 4300. Get one from a store with a good money-back guarantee (like a Best Buy), so if it doesn't work there's no harm and no foul (except for time and effort opportunity costs).
post back to let us know if you get any joy.
love, b

Ipod will not turn off mid song?

I'm having a problem turning my ipod off mid-song, I could do it until yesterday and now it makes me exit out of an album and pause it in the main menu? Does anyone know why and how to resolve the issue?

Problem solved. Just reset and works fine.

Ipod fastforward, pause, skip while playing songs

Hi guys,
As the title suggested. My Ipod gets naughty and fastforward, pause, skip itself while i'm playing some songs. Has anyone got the same problem??

No
Try the solutions mentioned in the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual.

My ipod will only cycle through the songs when i tell it to play

when i tell my ipod to play an album it doesn't play just skips through every track and then exits to the main menu help!!!

Sounds like the audio files are missing. Connect your iPod and reload the songs and see what happens.

Ipod will only sync a few songs, takes way too long, music not on ipod.

(first off I have a 6gb mini. I use a usb 2.0 and Im seeing if I fare bettter with the older software. so far no luck.)
I've strugglig with this damned thing all night, first I had the "folder !" then I had the "blinking apple", now I have that all worked out its time to put music back on right?(Ive updated and restored god knows how many times) WRONG! Like a kick to the kidneys, the ipod updates something like 8 or 9 songs then tells me the update is finished. after wasting my sweet time, like 20 minutes for 8-9 songs, those dont even stay on the ipod. what the hells wrong?

Make sure you don't have the Manually manage music and videos box check on the Summary tab
