My 160gb iPod is contantly rebooting itself during playback

No problems at all while syncing. However, when I am using it, it plays 4-5 songs perfectly, then it randomly reboots from the Apple logo. Any ideas/suggestions?

You may not have a backup of those files, then. Have you checked for backup according to this knowledge base article:

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Try a hard reset first.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button
until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds,
and then the Home screen.
If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks? What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

Ipod shuts off by itself during play

My Ipod shuts off by itself while it is playing. It does it in the hold mode as well. Please help.

i reset it at first and that didn't seem to work. so i downloaded the itunes version 7.0 again and volia!!! it worked. it hasn't given me that problem. its been 2 days and no shut offs!!

My ipod Classic continually reboots itself. PLEASE HELP!

I get it to disk mode and then attach it to iTunes where it wants to restore the ipod to its latest software - which on mine is 1.1.2 everything looks good until it stops trying to restore and gives me an "unknown error 1430"
SO, I try to update my software through iTunes, then I get the iPod software update server could not be contacted. There is nothing wrong with this server. It has been working fine all night until iTunes couldn't get through. Every single new piece of information has a problem associated with it - this doesn't sound like the Apple that I once knew. I just know I have a whole lot of work ahead of me on trying to fix this problem, and I've already been disappointed by Apple a few times lately. If only Steve Jobs were still here - he'd get this ship back in order. LOL!
Does anyone know a way for my ipod to work like it should again?
Thanks for letting me vent too, by the way.

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM !
for anyone else who else is having this problem.
Uncheck "Manually manage music" and when that question pops up, just click okay.
then Enable disk use will be checked.
then everything works perfectly!

IPod wants to Import Photos During Playback

My Ipod wants to keep importing Photos even when I am playing a song,,, It will stop the song and want to run the import wizard,,, I have photo importing off,, what can a I to fix this..... I have a Click Wheel IPod

I am having the same problem. I am listening to music and then the music stops and the ipod displays the message "ready to connect." Occassionally I get a message about "no card inserted" and I have never used a card so I don't really know what that's about. It is more aggravating than anything because after toggling through the menu it will go back to music.
Is there a setting that I have accidently activated? Any help would be appreciated. This usually happens when I am using the DLO car adapter....any connection?

Hi Woody,
i want you to follow few steps
1) fully charge the ipod and then see if the symptoms reoccur
2)if it does, no point in resetting the ipod... instead update the computer with the latest ipod softwarre updater and restore the ipod with it..the contents of the ipod will be deleted you have to redownload them from your computer...now see if the problem reoccurs
3)if yes then you have to walk in to a nearest apple store maybe your ipod needs a service...no need to jump to conclusion that the ipod isnt working first follow the steps...
Regards,
Sam

IPod mini has ticking sound during playback

When I play music, some (but not all) songs have a ticking sound. Any idea what I can look at to correct this problem?

Yes, they do, including after updating to iTunes 6.1 or whatever the newest release is. The ticking sound is not audible playing the CD using iTunes, though. The only thing I have been able to think of is that the USB port is not a high-speed port as it is on my son's computer where the ticking sound is not audible with the same music. Any thoughts?

IPod pauses during playback, even when Hold is on

My iPod recently started to pause all by itself during playbacks. The problem has been recurring, sometimes as frequently as a few seconds apart. It stops even when the Hold switch is on. Motion seems to make it worse, although the problem still occurs when the iPod is sitting still. I haven't dropped the device or otherwise subjected it to impact. Please help!!!

You should restore it.
See this: Restoring the 5th generation iPod (iPod with video).

HT1435 iPod Classic reboots itself every minute, is there a way to restore it?

After populating a new iPod Classic up to 50GB of 160GB space, it reboots itself every minute. No chance for iTunes to recognise so no way to reset/reload the device.
Any other way anyone can suggest? Mainly to delete the contents before replacing/returning to the shop.

My iPod wont turn on anymore. I have had my iPod since the end of January of 2012, Last night it shut off on me. It keeps trying to reboot itself, but all it does it show the apple symbol, then the screen goes white and reboots again. I need help. :(

Hi, My name is Cassie.
I bought my iPod off of amazon just around the end of January of this year (2012). Last night I was playing around on my iPod. Listening to pandora, and editing pictures. I got to a picture and clicked edit, and then my iPod shut off. It rebooted itself and seemed to be running as if nothing had happened. I put my music back on and went back to the picture and tried to edit it again. I clicked the edit button and the ipod shut off again. This time, it kept rebooting. It went to the apple symbol to turn on and about thirty seconds, the time it normally takes to turn on, the whole screen went white and then shut off and tried rebooting again. It kept doing this over and over again. After a while, it did eventually stop, but only to a completely white screen. It was like that all night long because I fell asleep. (gave up on it). It is now the afternoon and after I held the lock button and the home button down the screen when off. I let it sit for about a half an hour, then I tried turning it on again. But it still is doing the same thing. I have no idea what I could have done to make it do this. Unfortunalty, I am not home to connect it to my own iTunes, but regaurdless, it wont even connect to the computer. I did have my ipod plugged in the whole time it was rebooting and shutting off last night. It was connected to my wall jack which normally works fine. But even having it plugged into the computer as it is now, its still doing the same thing. I am dissapointed that I might end up loosing everything that I have on it. I have not been able to sync it to my computer to save all the apps and pictures and music I have stored on it. I really do hope I can get some help or advice!
Thank You!!

My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

Hi.
Here's the story:
My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem.
Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
Bye.

In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 classic 160 GB continually reboots itself after crashing about a half hour ago. How can I fix this?

Please help me figure out how to fix this situation, whether I can reset it or whether I need it serviced. I tried the center and menu buttons, and again, it just kept rebooting itself.
I stopped upgrading iTunes at 10.3.1, so please don't suggest that I upgrade because I need my Front Row. Plus, my iPod has been working for at least 6 months with 10.3.1.
Thank you,
Erik Jurado
