Is this normal or is my ipod broken?

i cant play purchased songs. all it does is go through them all without stopping. just wondering if i should invest in a new one or not

Before you sync music that's been bought at the iTunes store you should play at least one of the new tracks. This will ensure that iTunes 'knows' you are the authorized owner of the tracks. Otherwise the iPod 'thinks' the tracks are not yours and will not play them.
I've also noticed that sometimes the iPod will spontaneously 'decide' the tracks aren't authorized and stop playing them. It has happened to me twice. I don't know if it is an iPod bug or a 'feature' and I'm clueless as to what triggered it.

  • Hello, my Ipod bottom of the screen has a problem. It is too high. Is this normal?

    Hello, my Ipod bottom of the screen has a problem. It is too high. Is this normal?

    What does "the screen is a bit crash" mean?  If the screen is cracked you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  Although the broken screen is not covered by warranty, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise, Apple will charge $99, $149 or $199 for the exchange, depending upon the capacity.
    A third-party place like the following may be less expenisve but you will lose the remainder of  the warranty.

  • HT1363 Got iTunes 11.0.2 and iPod classic. ITunes no longer connects to iPod - wiped all contents and there is no way to re-connect - is this normal?

    Got iTunes 11.0.2 - as far as I know the latest version. My iPod classic no longer connects - gone through all on the "help" still won't work. There is nowhere with the word "device" and the iPod has now been wiped clean. Is this normal with the new version?

    You might want to try connecting to another computer with an older version of iTunes. If it connects, reformat it straight away just in case before adding your songs back in. Otherwise, you might want to seek for help at the official iTunes stores in your country. Chances are that the iPod might be corrupted, though iTunes being the problem can't be ruled out either.

  • IPod mini battery discharges in just 3 days. Is this normal?

    I left my ipod mini off for 3 days and it was completely discharged. This is a new battery. Its as if it doesnt turn off and discharges the battery while not in use.
    Any ideas? Is this normal?

    Yes. Apple has stated that is has experienced a shortable of return boxes due to the higher than expected demand for replacements.  For now just keep waiting as the 10 day return period does not start until you actually receive the box to return the iPod in.

  • I just bought a refurbished Ipod 3rd generation 8 gigs, but when I enter the serial number into Apple's site, it shows up as a 2nd generation. Is this normal?

    I bought a refurbished Ipod touch, 3rd gen(link: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC086LL/A?mco=MjI4NjY2MTE)
    The home button broke on me, so while setting up servicing for it, when I entered the serial number into the Apple site, my supposedly "3rd gen" Ipod showed up as a 2nd gen. Is this normal? And if not, what can I do about it?

    There are no 3rd gen 8GB models.  They did not make them.

  • I am attempting to load the latest software on my niece's iPod Touch on my PC but the sync is taking forever - 1 hour plus so far? Is this normal?

    I have set up another user screen on my PC (MS Windows 7) & downloaded iTunes and then downloaded the latest software version. The sync has taken over an hour so far, is this normal? It is my niece's iPod and she has her music library on her laptop but has not downloaded the latest software - does this cause a clash if the iPod is registered to a different PC? Any help or guidance in an idiots simple way would be most appreciated. JT

    It is the update firmware is taking so long?  It can take an hour or more for the download.
    If you do the update on other than the syncing computer, all the music and apps will not be on the iPod after the update see:

  • HT4310 I have the ipod shuffle. It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes.  Is this normal or do I need to change something with the settings?

    I have the ipod shuffle.  It only holds a charge for about 45 minutes.  Is this normal?

    It's not "normal," but lithium batteries wear out over time and eventually are not able to hold a charge, and that is "expected."
    So, if the iPod shuffle is a few years old, and you used it a lot, the battery may be worn out.  If it's brand new (or less than one year from purchase date, you should have it checked under warranty.

  • White iPod Touch 4th gen, has blotchy Screen, is this normal?

    Hello Everyone I have a white iPod Touch 4th gen that I've had since before Xmas. I have a problem with the display. Since I received my ipt, I have noticed that the screen is blotchy, that is most noticeable when viewing solid colours, is this normal? I have read that the adesive used to bind the glass to the screen can result in discolouration however, while this may be the cause of the blotchiness, it does not seem to be going away, I have not been able to find anyone with a similar problem, so would greatly appreciate some advice on the matter. many thanks in advance.

    It's like a bad paint job basically, the closer you get the worse it looks. The problem is that it's only noticeable under certain conditions. I tend to read iBooks in night mode and that's when it shows up the most, it can be quite distracting. I just wanted to see if this is normal before I take it in. Thank you very much.

  • Pressing sleep button has a wide variety of random effects, is my ipod broken?

    I have the relatively new iPod Nano 9th Generation, and I have had it for nearly a year. Everytime I am done selecting a song, I put my iPod to sleep by clicking the sleep button so it continues to play the song, but doesn't waste as much energy on illuminating the screen and such. I do this often, and now the button is becoming more increasingly difficult to press and less technologically responsive. When I press the sleep button now, it either pauses the song, skips the song, reads the songs title, does nothing, just funtions properly, etc. I feel it may have something to do with the jack of my headphones, because when I am not physically contacting the headphone jack (I usually use it as sort of an extender to make it easier to hold on such a small mp3 player), it normally is a little more responsive. I would attempt to use another pair of headphones, but I do not have any left, and do not wish to invest in more if this iPod is nearing its breaking point.
    So, the big question. Is my iPod broken?

    It also effects other buttons aswell, such as the increase and decrease volume. They still have the same effect as the sleep button however. All on screen buttons work just fine, it is just the physical buttons. I have recently tried different headphones and the same thing happens so it isn't the jack I don't believe, and there is no easy was to test without headphones altogether because there are no internal speakers to tell me whether it pauses, or reads the song information with siri's voice, or skips to the next song, etc..
    If you were unaware, this is the type of iPod I own. It is roughly 2 inches by 2 inches and the jack is plugged into the bottom right of the iPod while the buttons are placed on the top.
    From left to right, the buttons order is: Decrease Volume, Increase Volume, Sleep Button.

  • I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?

    I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?

    It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.
