IPod wont stop shuffling,track 'x' of 'x' missing,and no time elapsed bar?

I have an iPhone 3GS running OS 4.3.1. For some reason, a few updates back, I noticed that my music was playing differently on the iPod.
Firstly, there used to be a bar at the top of the screen when a track was playing to show how far through the tranc you were. It also allowed you to fast forward and rewind through the track. This has gone.
Also, along with the bar, it would tell you that track 'X' of 'X' was playing so you would know how many you had listened too and how many tracks were left. This too has gone.
One last issue. My songs dont play in album order. It seems to shuffle and I have no idea how to stop this. Any suggestions for all 3 issues? Cheers.

Tap the now playing screen to display the additional song controls. Tap again to hide them. When the additional song controls are showing, tap the shuffle control to turn shuffle on or off. Blue is shuffle on, white is shuffle off.

  • Ipod Wont stop Resetting

    I think I wrongly disconnected my new 60Gb Gen 5. It wont stop resetting itself every 5 seconds, I tried many times resetting it by pressing Menu,center button for a few secs. Please help! I did try reinstalling Itunes as well, it wont recognize the never-stop resetting Ipod.

    Sounds like the ipods software got corrupt. Reset it and TRY to set it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Since its reseting itself over and over it might be alittle hard, but just wait til you see the unlighted apple logo and QUICKLY hit and hold Center and play/pause like the link I've posted says.
    If you get it in disk mode, you need to restore it with ipod updater 06-28-2006. If you do not have this ipod updater it can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Restore will wipe the ipod clean, and they suggest anything thats not on the PC you try to get off the ipod and onto the PC before restoring. Being the ipod is resetting over and over I doubt you can get anything off it, Put if you want to try post back BEFORE restoring the ipod

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • My ipod wont charge. The screen flashed white yesterday and now it doesnt work

    My ipod wont charge. It died yesterday and when i did the lock home button thing the screen flashed white. After that the dead signal wont even pop up now an suggestion. Its a ipod touch 4 generation, 36gb I tried charging it to my computer, wii,tv, wall plug NOTHING WORKS.!
    1. The lock button and home thing WONT WORK.

    Try:
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - 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 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.

  • My ipod says that there is an error code (-1) and every time i try to update i get the same error code over and over again help?

    my ipod wont update because it gives me a (-1) error code and i really need to update it and suggestions? ive read the troubleshoot page on it and it said something about uninstalling the security software and i have no idea how to do that.....

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Wont stop shuffling

    my ipod's shuffle is turned off but when i go to listen to a song it goes back to the music menu. it won't play any of the song and keeps shuffling through them.

    well when you hit the center button 3 times while playing a song, it should come up with something that says : shuffle off songs albums. just scroll through there and turn it off. hope that solves your problem!

  • Ipod wont stop synching in itunes

    After installing the new software my ipod touch won't stop synching every few times I change songs in a playlist from my ipod or if I try and change the audio levels of a song, it just starts synching and everything is taking forever because of this.
