Major ipod problem, glitched music. help.

Ok, so here goes the story. 2nd gen ipod, 16GB. this just randomly happened- around a week after i homeshared with my friend and bought some new music.
THERE ARE NO DUPLICATES IN MY LIBRARY CONCERNING THIS MUSIC!!!
Around a week ago, I bought the album Moulin Rouge. I bought it with a gift card on he computer, then re-bought it on my ipod (a mistake, I know) It was completely normal, played normally, no problems. Far before this, I got a song from inception off of itunes, (we built our own world). It was also normal, save the fact that there was a sound at the beginning of it every time it played- like a clap. It started doubling before the moulin did.
The album and song are now behaving oddly. They are doubling themselves up. Like, when I have the Moulin album checked, two of each song pop up in the album. then when I uncheck the album, there still remains the whole album; so it seems there are two copies, one glitched stuck on my ipod, one normal from itunes. Moulin also has very weird ******** album art; the art is like a genius mix cover with another random album. Both of these symptoms are the same with the inception song.
And also, sometimes the moulin picks up random cover art from completely different albums, cover art I have added to songs I have gotten from limewire (NONE OF THE LIMEWIRE SONGS I GOT ARE GLITCHED OR BEHAVING ODDLY)
So, I have reset my iPod several times. I plugged my ipod in, wen under the music tab, and unchecked the 'Sync Music' box. So now the only music that is on my ipod is the weird, glitch music that doesn't seem to be originating from my iTunes library.
I don't even know if restoring my ipod will work with this. I have absolutely no ay of getting this music off my ipod. The 'regular' versions of the song + album are behaving fine, I can still listen to everything on my library.
Please help me. I need to get this iPod through a month or so more, and it just really annoys me to have something like this. I know I can simply create playlists and listen from there, but I kinda need to have my music organized.

You need to repost this in the iTunes discussion group.

  • Major iPod Problems! Please help!

    Recently, my iPod was running very slugish. The videos would skip and take a very long time to load, and then sometimes my menus would freeze or seem to take longer than expected to change. My friend told me that I should reset it by pressing the Menu button and Select button because that should stop the sluggish movement. I did so and when the iPod turned back on, I was prompted with a folder(!) and: apple.com/support/ipod
    It seems now that my iPod is stuck in disk mode. I have tried restoring my iPod to factory settings and still nothing because it is stuck in Disk Mode. Whenever I try to run iTunes, it won't find it because the iPod seems to freeze windows and nothing moves (sometimes the start bar will) and all of my running applications freeze as well. The moment I unplug my iPod, all of the applications unfreeze and work properly.
    Can someone please help me? Thank you very much!

  • Major 160GB ipod problems, no music, no files, no recognition, no resetting

    been using my ipod for a while but yesterday, I opened the ipod to find it says there is no music on the ipod, but on the setting section in the ipod it says, that I do actually have space used on my ipod.
    I tried to connect the ipod to the computer, but nothing shows on itunes. I opened "My Computer" it says that there is a removable disk, but nothing shows up when I try to click it (given that I have some files and documents stored in it)
    when I connect the ipod to the computer, the ipod shows the "Connected" screen, but when I eject the ipod, it goes to the silver apple screen for a long while, and the ipod does a weird clicking noise.
    tried doing the 5R's but cant because the itunes doesnt even recognise the ipod.
    PLEASE any help would be greatly apprecated, I'm not very technical when it comes to electronics, but this is the best amount of detail I can give for now. if there is any more info needed, I'll gladly give

    I a really similar issue a while back, where I turned on my iPod only to find everything gone, but it would still say that something is on it. However, my iTunes would still recognize it, although no music or movies would appear in the the menu. I tried resetting, but no luck. I ultimately had to end up factory resetting it to fix it. Since then, I've had no problems.
    Since the case is that not even your iTunes recognizes it, I would take it in to the Genius bar and see what they can do. Hopefully they don't give you their default answer of "it's an internal/logic board problem," which means you're basically stuck and you'll have to pay them to fix it or buy a new iPod.

  • MAJOR EXPORT PROBLEMS! PLEASE HELP!

    Hello. I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I'll try to be brief. I'm having a horrible problem with exporting my films.  I work on a PC. To me, that shouldn't matter, but here's what's been happening.  I shoot my films at 23.976 frames on the 5DMII and the 7D.  My film got into a film festival. They asked for a 720p mp4 file. OK, no problem. I went under H.264, I exported an HD File, with 23.976 frame rate and I checked both boxes for Max Render and I set a 2-pass. I exported and when I played the vid back through Windows Media Player, it felt fine.
    BUT, at the festival this past weekend, I was horrified to discover that my film, and no other films, was having a major sound problem. The audio was about half a second ahead of the footage, so they kind of looked like they were speaking correctly, but their dialogue would finish right before their mouths would. Super embarrassing. All I noted when I saw the tech booth was that they were using a mac laptop hooked to the projector, so I assume maybe it was quicktime they were running? Also, I believe they put all of the vids together as one file so it would run together as one block, but still, I believe most of the other films were shot at 23.976 frames as well, so that shouldn't matter.
    I went home, thinking maybe I just wasn't being diligent enough and I needed to really look at the sound. Maybe it was off. But I keep all of the temp tracks, the sound from the dslr, on track 1 and then just mute it. I unmuted and played both tracks, and there's no difference. No echo, no weird delays, they're both perfectly synched up.
    I've been having this problem for a long time but this was the first time that I REALLY could see the problem, probably because it was on such a big screen. Just my opinion, but I've found that most festivals are running MAC software and it seems like the vids I export seem to have an audio problem being played through mac programs. Another instance, briefly. I did a screening for a feature I edited. I exported an HD mp4 and put it on a friends MAC. The sound was off when we pre-screened it. I have a PC Toshiba laptop, I ran the vid through windows media player, and it felt much better, so we screened using my laptop and it went fine. But what does that mean?
    Has anyone else had this problem? It's not just festivals too. I have a subscription with Vimeo, but every short film that I put up there has some kind of an audio drift problem. It's always minor so some people see it and some people don't, but I'm certain the vids are fine on my timeline. Do I need to export using something else? A different setting? As a quicktime vid? That last question seems kooky since any tutorial I've seen is usually wanting h.264, so I just don't know.
    Please let me know if there's anything I can try or if you just have an opinion. Thanks very much.

  • Still major stalling problem in ITUNES  **HELP ME PLEASE!!**

    OKAY, I got rid of my anti-virus program completely, and STILL iTunes takes up 100% of CPU power from 11-17 seconds, causing the playback to slow down completely and distort the songs...
    Here's my original post:
    Alright, here's my esoteric problem:
    I cannot playback songs in iTunes without 6 seconds becoming REALLY slow.
    I opened the task manager, and for some reason, even with everything else closed 100% of my CPU processing power is used from 11 until approx 17 seconds while a song is playing. If I start it at another point, it happens 11 seconds into it.
    I tried it on all 3 buffering settings, and there is no improvement on any of them.
    I have 1 GB of RAM, and the processor is 2.4GHz.
    I have 610 albums currently, with about another 100 or so to rip.
    I have no problem playing the mp3s back in WinAmp -- I have in fact been using iTunes for sorting and searching, and for my iPod (of course), and using WinAmp to playback, but it's annoying when iTunes places different tracks under different artist names, etc.
    I am completely befuddled by this problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    --Seth

    What version iTunes?
    Dual processor, yes or no?
    If you do the MSCONFIG thing does it act differently

  • Major iPod Problems, Need Help Solving

    One day I was casually syncing my iPod video with my computer to get a few new songs uploaded onto it.
    Suddenly, the iPod freezes up, shuts itself off, restarts, and magically it has forgotten everything and pretends it is a brand new iPod.
    No problem, I think, believing it will just need to load the songs again and everything will be fine.
    However, this is not the case.
    The iPod would then continue to load all the songs, shut down after loading them, restart and again pretend it is brand new and lad all the songs again.
    This continues to happen again and again.
    I try to update my iPod, figuring it may just be a version error or somesuch nonsense. The updater refuses to work and actually causes my iPod to crash, saying it has a diskwrite error.
    It refuses to "System Restore" on my computer, so I run the "System Restore" on another window computer that I own. And it runs just fine, making the iPod load songs once more.
    And I think, problem solved!
    However, again, this is not the case.
    I load it once, everything goes fine.
    The nxt day, after buying more songs, I try to upload and after the upload, the iPod shut off, restarts, and pretends to be new once more.
    I go through the "System Restore" process again, but afterwards, the iPod all out refuses to upload my music fully, shutting off about halfway through the process each time.
    And now whenever it is plugged into my computer, windows says it is unreadable and must be reformatted, so I run the updater and it says that there is an "iPod manager internal error" which could basically be another language considering my only basic knowledge of computers.
    Is there any way to repair my iPod at home? Or must it be sent in to Apple?

    GREAT NEWS!
    Last night, through some very thorough digging in the
    "Search Discussions", I found the answer and now my
    iPod is running perfect once more!
    Thank you very much for your help b noir. Without
    you, and many others on this board who had their
    problems solved by equally helpful people, I would
    still be digging through Apple's support section to
    no avail.

  • Please Help Me, Major Ipod Problem

    Please Help:
    Recently I downloaded the new Itunes(Itunes 7). After downloading it I was prompted to upgrade my Ipod (30g Video) to the new system (1.2). Almost immediatly after finishing this download my Ipod turned off, and is now frozen and will not turn on. Also, my computer doesn't recognize when my Ipod is plugged in, nor does the "Do not disconnect" screen come up, my Ipod stays blank. I called Apple they told me that I can send in my Ipod for it to be fixed, but the hard drive on the Ipod will be wiped. I recently bought a new computer and do not have any of my songs in my library, this is over 2000 (2000 + dollars) songs I have bought that I am currently on the verge of losing.
    If anybody has any ideas on how can get my computer to recognize the Ipod is plugged in so I can back up all the songs (via my computer, ipod...copy all music files) would be greatly appreciated, that way when I send in my Ipod and then get it back, I can put my songs back on.
    Thank you in advance!

    A few things come to mind. First Linux. 2nd opening of said iPod and taking out the hard drive and hooking it into a EX USB hard drive connection. Not sure if it is the same.. but it is worth a shot... from the pics that I have been looking at, they appear to be the same. by doing this you will be able to tell where the problem is for sure. if it works then I think that you can go to iPod_Control (enable veiwing of hidden folders on PC) on the iPod in my computer.
    hope it works out for you.

    I have tried various USB ports, two different computers, restarting my Ipod, talking to apple technichal support, putting my Ipod into disk mode, manually trying to get the compter to recognize the Ipod through the manager, and smashing on my desk out of anger hoping that something might happen (just kdding). I believe thats everything, any other ideas you have are greatly appreciated.

    one thing that you can try is something my dad taught me. This works great especiall if you have a PC.
    When i had to replace my laptop and was worried about losing all of my purchased songs from itunes, i was told to plug the ipod into the computer BEFORE installing itunes. it will read on your computer as a mass storage device and then all you need to do is simply go into the folders and copy all of the files into your "my music" folder (or whatever folder you choose). After that, you need to install/reinstall itunes and when it searches your computer for music, ALL of your music (including purchased songs) will show up and all will be okay.
    Just a few hints;
    although this seems very simple, if you're a simple person like i am, you'll expect to see the songs on your ipod show up with normal/regular titles.....THEY WONT. They'll show up as letter-number combinations, but the music is all there.
    In short;
    1. uninstall/delete itunes
    2. Plug in our ipod (but don't reinstall itunes yet)
    3. copy ALL of the files you can find on your ipod
    4. reinstall itunes
    5. let it search your computer for music
    you should be fine at this point.
    I hope this helps!

  • Plz help major ipod problem

    Hi
    i just bought my ipod about a week ago and it already appears to be broken, but before i bring it in i wanted to make sure that this is a serious problem.
    yesterday I left my ipod connected to my computer to charge. After a few hours I came back and saw that the meter was showing that the battery was near empty. I soon realized that the ipod was actually frozen. I tried restarting the ipod but all i would see is the apple logo, it would never go to the main menu. So i let the battery drain and i am now in the process of charging it. It did not show up on Itunes, and right now all i see is a white creen, its been charging for atleast 30 minutes
    PLEASE HELP

    check the apple support on the site first, apart from this discussion, which lets them know of pending issues, the support site will have FAQ... there is prob a 2% chance that its a dud.... not comforting i know but have a look at the support first.
    Re the charging, 30 mins is too short for a first charge. 2hrs first charge should give it 80% charge... better to leave it till it says "Charged" and the flash is not strobing the battery icon.. also make sure its not going to get toooo hot, take it out of any case , ipods need to breath, or they overheat, shortening the life of your battery..... oh and try not to charge it overnight too often, for the first few times.... let the charge run out. a few videos should see to that, A car , sorry an automomile charger is a good back up if you are out and about.
    hope its ok, i know how you feel, i had a 3g 40gb die on me @ 19 months... and it was twice the price here that you guys are paying....

  • Another Ipod Problem - Purchased Music wont play

    I just recently recieved my fifth repaired Ipod in a year and a halves time, and now I have another problem. I loaded all of my iTunes songs to my iPod, but all of my purchased music will not play, it just skips over them to the next song. What is going on?
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Could you share this again? I have looked for answers to this issue in multiple threads and have yet to find anything that works. All the latest stuff, resync, etc. and the purchased music still won't play after some interval of time. It plays fine for a while then it just skips through the titles.
    Is it a time thing or something you can set?
    Thx for any insight.

  • Major ipod problems

    I'm using a third generation 20gb ipod. Today the touch pad completely died. It is acting like it is stuck on hold and the touch pad has been disengaged even though the hold button is in the off position. I tried to reset it, but it is completely unresponsive. The only way I can turn it on is to either plug it in to the charger or turn the hold button on then off. The only way to turn it off is to let it sit and turn itself off. I can't plug it in to my computer because the cable is going bad and my computer doesn't read it any more, and I am having difficulty finding a new firewire cable since ipods no longer use them (which I still think is a big mistake on apple's part). I can't get help from apple since the warranty for it expired long ago. Does any one have any ideas? I would rather not have to buy a new one since I like the touch pad better than the buttons, and I can't afford a new one for another 6 months.

    Hello everyone. I'm a new guest here and this is my first time in the Discussion.
    Actually I got the same problem too. I got the new I Tune 5.0 and then when I updated my IPOD, all the songs got disappeard but as some of the guys were mentioning that the songs are still there in the Hidden folder for the music. It happened to me several times and I were able to solve it by "accidentally" pressing the Games button or leaving a large empty space (more than 15 GB).
    However, the same problem is still the same.
    Can we get a reply or any help here from the Apple care.

  • IPhone 5 - iPod App Glitch - Please Help!

    Ok, so when I play music on my iP5, there are many songs that go silent towards the end of the song, yet the track bar still scrolls down to 0 as if the song is still playing. All of my music plays just fine on my iTunes on my PC, as well as my Apple TV. I have reset the phone and reloaded the music, still same problems with the same tracks. Tried just removing the music and reloading onto the phone, still same problem. This is happening to music I have loaded from CD's or other mp3's as well as music I purchased off of iTunes. Please help!

  • Major iTunes problem!  Need Help!!!

    I have completely cleaned out my iTunes library and all music files on my iPod, but it still says I am using half of my iPod storage. (8.79 out of 19 GIGs) I have uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted, shut down and still every time I plug in my iPod, it reads half full. Can anyone tell me how to get my meter back to zero?

    Just run the iPod updater. One of the choices is to restore it back to factory defaults. That should wipe the drive. Then you can run the updater again and install the latest version of software for your particular iPod.
    I had the same problem once before, and that took care of it, lickity split!
    Good luck,
    Mike
