Itunes/ipod classic skipping halfway through songs

When I skip to another song while 1 is currently playing and I get back to it at another time, the song picks up where i left it. Not at the beginning where it should???? This happens on itunes and my classic. Is there a setting somewhere i can not find?

Hello ragweed fan,
Make sure the "Remember Playback Position" option is not enabled for these tracks in iTunes. To do this, locate the tracks having this issue, right->click on them and choose "Get Info." When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab and make sure there is no tick mark next to "Remember playback position" and see if that helps.

  • IPod Classic - skips tracks between songs

    i have a brand 120G classic. when i play with my BOSE sound dock it periodically skips half way through tracks -- various tracks. But when i use any of my other iPods (iTouch, mini, friends classix) they work fine (so that eliminates the docking station being at fault.
    i have rebooted, reloaded, reinstalled software for the iPod classic. BUT it keeps happening.
    any ideas?

    I, like everyone else, am having the same issue. I have a black 120GB classic. Noticed the issue while deployed to Iraq and working out in the gym. Thought it was a headphone issue (was using the ear buds with remote) returned them and problem remains. Now back and having the problem even when not being moved around. I am gonna try the back light recommendation, but, I don't like having the back light always on, so, that is a pain in the butt. I, too, AGREE that having this problem listed for OVER a year now is POOR business management APPLE!!!! This is the only issue I have ever had with apple products....But, definitely the most ANNOYING problem to have...

  • IPod Nano (2nd Generation) song skipping halfway through song

    This only happens with one song on my new ipod nano.
    So I go to listen to this song. Let's say the song is Tourniquet. So, I get 2:47 through the song. It freezes up then, stays there for a couple of seconds, and skips to the next song. Always in the same place. Then I'll go to go back to the song, and it'll go to the song before Tourniquet.
    Is there any way to fix this? I've already tried resetting, and that doesn't do anything.

    Mine does this too. Have you found an answer?

  • IPod classic, songs skipping halfway through or at beginning.

    Certain songs will be skipped, halfway through their playback on the iPod, no matter which device I hook it up to, or the song will show up, then be skipped.  They play back fine in iTunes, so what can I do to fix this? iPod support won't help because I'm out of my warranty, and they want me to spend $29.99 just to get an answer.

    I'll add that the particular songs that skip (at least 50) played just fine before.

  • Songs skip halfway through in iTunes and on iPhone

    Howdy.  I was recently forced to get a new laptop when my hard drive crapped out on me.  Fortunately, my music was backed up on an external hard drive.  Since I was at my five computer limit, I did have to de-authorize all computers from my account and then authorize the new one to play my purchased songs.  However, I now find that some (not all) of the songs I purchased will skip after about 1:50.  Specifically, I bought the 700+ song Bob Dylan collection when it was first offered; these songs seem to be the only ones affected. 
    I know other people have had similar problems.  The reason I'm starting a new thread is because the songs sometimes play all the way through, depending where you're trying to play them.  Let me explain:
    iTunes 10.6: skips to next song after 1:50
    iPhone 4S (latest iOS): skips to next song after 1:50
    iPod shuffles (2nd and 4th generation): plays through
    Since there are a lot of songs affected, I'm wondering if there's a cleaner solution than "delete and re-download ad infinitum".  Any help would be appreciated.

    mine has just started to do this today, have you had any luck fixing it?

  • 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...

  • IPod Classic skipping/stopping when using Infiniti M37 factory installed dock

    We have 2 Infiniti M37s and when I use my iPod Classic in either one, songs will skip/stop during play (happens randomly and not with the same song each time and the frequency differs, too) and then resume, though all songs play without skipping/stopping when I use my Bose headset (not in the car!).  It happens on all road surface types and, thinking it may have been the cable, have used 3 different cables to connect from the car dock to my iPod.  Same problems.  I had a Toyota before and never had this problem with with the same iPod.  Help?!!!  Thanks.

    This most likely won't completely solve your problem and you might've already tried it, but try restarting your iPod. It might just need a rest! To do this, press the Menu and center button on your iPod until it turns black and then restarts itself. (You'll know it's restarting when you see the apple come up on the screen.)

  • My ipod click skips to random songs after playing 10 seconds of a song

    my ipod click skips to random songs after playing 10 seconds of a song and it won't reset either, can anyone help?
    ipod click   Windows 2000  

    There are three possible causes of skipping music after playing a bit of the song:
    1) the music on your computer is munged
    2) the music was munged as it transferred to your iPod
    3) the iPod is 'confused'
    Listen to a couple songs on your computer - the same ones that are skipping on your iPod. Are they okay? Scratch problem 1 - otherwise you have some reripping to do, assuming you haven't backed them up.
    Next, reset your iPod. If the music is still skipping then the fastest fix is to use your restore/upgrade software to restore the iPod. This will erase the music and re-install the iPod's operating system which will take care of possible problems 2 and 3.
    If the iPod isn't resetting - first make sure you are following the reset instructions for your iPod. There are different methods for different generations. Also, sometimes it is best to reset with the iPod plugged in. Finally, make sure you don't have the hold button set.

  • How to get music for itunes windows to itunes ipod classic

    how to get music from itunes windows to itunes ipod classic 160?

    Connect the iPod to your computer, select the Sync options you want, let it Sync. Click on the eject button.
    At which point do you get stuck?
    Have you previously put music onto this iPod?

  • My iPod classic accidentally went through the washer. I put it in rice and now it will turn on but it just shows a red X. Am I just out of luck?

    My iPod classic accidentally went through the washer. I put it in rice for about two weeks. It will now turn on but only shows me a red X. I plugged it into the wall but I am afraid to plug it into my computer. I don't know if that will have an adverse affects on my computer. Am I just out of luck on this one or is there any way this is salvageable?

    Rice is a weak drying agent. You can buy stronger desiccant's that will do a better job of drying out the iPod. But please use caution, these desiccant's can be poisonous, so use caution.
    Considering the very high value of an iPod classic I would make every attempt to repair it.  One example is shown below, but there are many types available.

  • Ipod classic skips with songs downloaded from itunes and mp3's.

    I have an ipod 120gb classic, I listen to it in my van through my alpine car stereo, i found that it would start to play songs and then skip to the next song in the playlist, i thought it may have been the cable for the stereo that was the problem, 2 month ago i changed the stereo and the cables and with the brand new stereo the ipod is still skipping through songs which leads me to believe that its an ipod issue and not my alpine, is there anyway to correct this, as it is very annoying, i bought the ipod to avoid having cds and damagings them now the ipod is doing what cds do, skipping tracks, and then ive noticed for such an expensive investment, apple has not been able to resolve the problem.

    I need to know more specifics about your problem.
    Are your songs ending earlier than expected and the play count incrementing? If you push the back button to play the song again, does it end at the same premature time? Can you scrub (push the center select button once and then scroll) to a point 60 seconds after the songs cuts off and hear the remainder of the song play? If you listen to the same song on your computer and it plays fine all the way through and all of the above applies, then the problem is that iTunes is omitting a small amount of data in the midst of the data stream as it transfers files to the iPod.
    Uncheck the song(s) ending too early; sync; check the song(s) ending early; sync. iTunes will then send a new copy of each song to the iPod. If any song on the iPod isn't repaired after this (and the point where the song cuts off may change), then repeating the process for any song which didn't get repaired should work.

  • Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

    Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

    Try this Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Test the sound again.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
    Good Luck!

  • Bought a new album; Songs skip halfway through, how do i prevent this?

    I recently spent 16 dollars on a new album ive been anticapating listening to. I get ready to hear it for the first time and all is going well until the first songs skips to the next song about halfway through play. I listen to the next song and it skips aswell. every song on the album stops playing about halfway through and skips to the next song, which basically results in me having no music. I tried moving the cursor (what ever you call it) to the later bits of the song/s but it will automatically skip and wont let me play it from their. What can i do to fix this?
    P.s this occurs on my ipod AND Itunes.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • My ipod songs get halfway through song and then move onto next song automat

    Hello,
    I'm rather frustrated. Got ipod as gift at weekend and have downloaded a couple of songs from ITunes.
    They play fine on my laptop, but when I play them on my ipod, the song gets halfway through and will then automatically skip onto next song... sometimes it only gets 16 sec's into song and then moves straight on...
    Have restored back to factory settings and then put the songs back onto my ipod and they're still playing up... can anyone help me???

    Hi Ab,

  • IPod Classic Skipping Songs?

    Ever since yesterday my iPod Classic has been skipping songs when I press the next button. I browse songs by artist, and when I choose the first song in an album instead of saying like '1 of 6' it'll say '4 of 6' and then it'll just go through the songs arbitrarily. :/
    I also can't locate the voice recorder feature either. I treat my iPod Classic as if it were my child, this recent malfunction has really gotten me shaken.

    Forgot to mention, I've already tried hard resetting, didn't do anything.
