Ipod will play only some songs

I recently was playing around with other music software, other than itunes. I used media monkey to put some songs onto my ipod. Everything I put onto my ipod from media monkey workes fine, but since I put some songs on with media monkey, all of my previous songs that I put on with itunes now no longer work. Those songs don't play through my ipod or through itunes. Now in itunes, the only songs that play are those loaded with media monkey and all the ones originally loaded with itunes has an exclamation point where there is usually the speaker icon when a song is playing. Does anyone know why I cannot play the original songs through my ipod or through itunes??

To be honest, when you use unsupported, third party apps, you are unnessiarly monkinying around with your data.
I'm the first one to dislike Apple, but the iPod works great with iTunes as-is, and unless you're gonna run linux on your iPod or change it's GUI images, there's no reason not to use their included software. It's not bloated, it's organized and comprehensive, and doesn't take over your pc like AOL or Norton.
My suggestion :Abandon ship. Wipe the iPod, remove all media from your HD, remove media ape or whatever, and itunes, remove all iTunes folders, then start from scratch.
When you do unsupported actions like using lame 3rd part software, don't expect too much support. Apple is always changing the iPod's OS and firmware, and it takes 3rd parties time to reverse-engineer it and adjust. So that causes alot of issues. Stick with iTunes, bud.

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

Plays ONLY some songs when burning dvd

Can anyone help me out here? I have 4 songs in our play list for the dvd...when we preview they ALL play, when we burn only 2 or 3 play. What is up with this?
Thanks,

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

IPod will not load some songs

I have a few problems with my ipod. Apple just gave me a new ipod to replace the one that was having similar but not exactly the same problems. Its an ipod nano ( black). The problem used to be that the ipod would not update. Now it won't load one of the artists onto my ipod. It says my ipods software is too old. I downloaded the new itunes. Also, under my ipod summary, it says that my software is up to date. So theres a contradiction here. Also the summary says my ipod is formatted for windows. I own a mac. Whats the deal??

okay so you show plug it into itunes if you dont have it on your computer you can download it here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
when it is pluged in on the left side there will be a device sign and under it will be the ipod drag the song from itunes to the ipod.
if that does not work there will be a tab called store and under it should be 3 sub tabs called itunes store, itunes match, and purchased
click purchased and all the song that you have ever bought show be there and just drag the songs you want over.
let me know if this worked

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

When I click on some songs in my itunes library it says the file is not detected. If i hook up my ipod will i loose the songs already on it or will it retore the files to itunes?

Before to attach your ipod.... try to find the file where you put your music.... click on that song.... itunes will ask you if you want to locate it.... from there you have to find the song(s) that is one of the folders in your PC.

Constant Beeping Noise only some songs

A constant beeping noise over powers the volume of the song, but only some songs. It doesn't happen when played on the computer through itunes, but only when using my ipod.
Please help...

... i discovered that it will pop regardless if the music is playing or not. although it's not a steady pop. sometimes it will do it every 30 or 40 seconds, sometimes less. i tried using the iPod with headphones and haven't heard the same noise yet though. so now i'm stumped.

IPhone plays only one song at a time

After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play?

How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play? At the moment, each artist in the album is being separated and I can't play them together. For example, to play the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Nile Rodgers, etc. are some of the artists featured. However, in the Albums category, they are each separate choices. I want to play them all together, but can't. Is there a way to do that?

It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes. Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number. For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
Song: <Song Title>
Artist: <Song Artist>
Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
Genre: Soundtrack
I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names. Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

Playing Only One Song

How do I play only one song on my iPod, then stop without automatically going to the next song? I can't find a setting and not sure how to do it.
I play in a small band and have loaded recorded audio backing tracks into the iPod. I want to be able to play the song (i.e., backing track), then stop when it is finished without automatically going to the next song.

Thanks. I knew I could create a playlist with one song in it. However, when on stage that will take too much time between playing individual songs. Unless, I set up a single song playlist for each song, of which there are hundreds that we do.
I was hoping I could find a setting that would allow me to play a single song directly from the Library.

Can you tell me why we play only one song at a time and stop now???????

OK....I will try to stop seething and write clearly. DL'd ITunes V8.0 which ran great for about a week. Now when I try to play from Music library it will play the first song then stop. If I try to advance using the forward button it stops playing as well. This only happens in the Music Library. Playlists function as normal. Please tell me this isn't another Apple "Enhancement". Ugh.

Are the little checkboxes to the left of name ticked? If not iTunes will not advance to the next track as iTunes skips unchecked tracks.
To check all, press ctrl & click in one of the little boxes or use select all, then right click in the selection and choose check all.
Usually this affects both the music library and playlists so I am not sure about it.

Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

Thank you for responding.
Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
I will try downloading latest updates.
I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

IPod nano plays only when connected to PC

My nano is a 3rd, I think. I bought it from Apple's iPod website 2 years ago. I was using the iPod on a Harley-Davison plugged into the iPod connection of a Jenson Marine radio. I had it in a little rubbery protecting case. This pas week I had to ride in the rain. While the iPod was protected from the rain moisture built up inside the case. Now it will play only when connect to the PC.
When it is connected to the PC everything works normal. ITunes does not need to be running, only it needs to be connected via the USB. I plug the speakers directly into the iPod and it work normally. But, when I un plug it, it dies. Not only does it quit playing but none of the keys are active. It is just DEAD. The display remains as it was but not moving. Of course I have reloaded factory defaults and started all over. But it is dead if not connected via USB 04/01/09
port.
Hopefully someone can help. It was a $300 unit. I sure don't want to have to buy another.
thanks,
wayne

It sounds like a battery issue to me. When you connect it to the PC it draws power from the computer and thus it is able to function. Apparently it doesn't have enough of its own juice anymore. You probably just need a new battery.
