Ipod wont even play music anymore....please help

My ipod doesn't even play music normally anymore. Whenever i play music it just freezes and takes about 5 minutes to load.. and im really sick of it. I only have about 1,300 songs in the Ipod. I have 5th generation 30 GB Ipod and use the latest Itunes. I googled around and some people also have the same problem. They say its from artwork. I tried disabling artwork but still didn't disable any artworks. What should I do?
Thanks for the help.

  • When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help

    Hi there, When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help

    Except for the first shuffle model, the shuffle connects to the computer using the headphones jack, so there is no way to play it when it is connected to the computer.  I guess maybe I don't understand the question...

  • IPOD DOESN'T SHOW MUSIC! PLEASE HELP!

    I have no idea what happened. At first I saw a white screen and then I reset it. Finally the menu showed up as normal, but when I go to music, it does not list anything even though I listened to it just yesterday afternoon and it was fine. It's fully charged. I plugged it into my Windows computer, and it connects fine, my computer recognizes it but then even in iTunes it shows the amount of used/free space accurately except that the files on it that are music and account for 3.73 GB are shown as "other" in orange. So obviously the songs didn't disappear, but I really don't understand... Please help me!! Thanks!

    Restore the iPod.

  • My ipod wont turn off!! please help

    i did nothing to my ipod to make it not turn off. i was listing to it for a while and when i decided i was done using it i wanted to turn it off and it wouldnt work. i can go from one song to the next with no problem and i can pause it and all that good stuff but it just wont turn off. i tried letting it cut off by itself( put ot on pause and wait for a couple of min) but its been almost a half an hour and it still hasnt turn off. please help me!!!

    Have had the same problem for a couple of weeks. Have tried the 5 Rs and other tips found on this site. Nothing seems to work. Only thing that does work is if ipod is connected via USB and itunes is running. It can then be turned off and will remain turned off when you disconnect your ipod. But this isnt much help if you have to connect to your computer each time you want to turn your ipod off! Still waiting for a complete answer I'm afraid ......

  • Ipod wont sync - error 69. Please help!

    So i have an Ipod Classic 6th Gen, 80gb. It will start sync then slow right down to snail speed then eventually come up with
    Attempting to copy to dick "Nickys Ipod" failed. Unknown error occurred (-69)
    Also followed with
    The Ipod "Nickys Ipod" cannot be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
    It will then just stop the sync after only about 200 odd songs. Ive restored the ipod and have also reinstalled itunes as it was previously just freezing itunes everytime the ipod was connected. Im also running Windows vista if this helps. PLEASE HELP!!

    I have the same issue with my iPod nano Gen 3, but my husbands'--bought 1 week later--will sync just fine. Let me know if you get a resolution.

  • IPod does not sync music. Please help before I die. LOL

    ok so i plug in my usb to my iPod after i dragged the music into itunes from folders and what not and you know usually when the music syncs it will till u the title of the songs and stuff at the top while its syncing right? well i add a lot of new songs and it just says that its syncing but doesnt show the process of it being synced...then when it says done i go back in my ipod and the new music isnt there...i've reset the pod a bunch of times..restarted my computer..reinstalled iTunes..i dont know what else to do..if u can help me it would b greatly appreciated..thank you!!

    *i've reset the pod a bunch of times*
    Have you tried "restoring" your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to sync using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • My ipod touch doesnt play music anymore.

    Everything else works fine but when i click a song on my playlist it looks like its about to play it and then returns straight back to the playlist again. Does anybody know a way to fix this?

    Does the music play in iTunes on the computer?
    Try resetting the iPod:
    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.

  • Updated ipod wont open applications...please help

    I updated to the latest firmware on my ipod touch a few days ago. Everything works well except there is a problem with the applications funtion.
    After downloading I press the onscreen icon to open the application but it only opens momentarily to its home screen then closes after about 3 seconds. I have tried downloading other applications but the same thing keeps happening....they all close after about 3 secs and I cant get passed the home screen
    Anybody else having the same problems? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    This is a user-to-user forum - if you want an answer from an Apple technician, you'll need to call AppleCare.
    Have you updated to the current version of the iPod Touch software (v2.1)? That +"Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes if you have lots of 3rd party applications."+ The update is free for those who have purchased the 2.0 upgrade.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    After i Updated itunes al my ipod apps including safari and music, photos and all of them went away and i cannot do anything on it anymore please help?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
    - If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

    Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.
