My 6 Gen Nano skips songs completely...??? Plays in Itunes

So.. ..My ipod was working fine untill one day.. it decided to only play certain songs...
I can choose a song, and it will completely just skip over it, wont even play for 1 second.
ALL songs play in Itunes. All songs are from CD's
Yet, apple says there is nothing wrong with my ipod.
I've reseted it, restored to factory setting, updated the version... nothing helps
I WANT MY SONGS

One thing you can try is import using error correction. You would have to delete the songs out of iTunes first.
-Click edit, prefrences, then import settings, put a check in error correction, then click done.
-Reimport the CD then test.
One good step to try is: sync the album with a different ipod. This will rule out the ipod as the culprit.
Hope this helps.

  • 6th Gen Nano skipping songs

    Hi all
    I have a 6th Gen Nano that i recieved as a replacement for a 1st gen.  It has been working perfectly until recently when i noticed that it started to skip some songs.  It is not all songs that are affected but a significant proportion of them.  The songs play fine through iTunes and are also ok on my iPhone 4 and also used to play fine on the Nano but not any more.
    The songs affected come from different places (CD Rips, Amazon etc) and looking at the file i can see nothing that could cause the problem.  I have created a blank itunes library and added the affected songs to it before syncing with my Nano but this still causes the same problem.  The Nano has been wiped but this doesnt help.  It is running version 1.2 of the software which i think is the latest.
    I have taken it to the Genius Bar where it was wiped and some diagnostics run on it but this didnt help either.  I paid for a replacement 6th Gen Nano (it was out of warranty) but this nano exibited the same problem with the same songs.  I have been refunded the cost of the replacement but still have a very tiny brick at the moment that i cannot use.
    It seems that the Nano doesnt like some of the songs for some reason and when going through the sync process it doesnt sync all of them even though they appear on the iPod the mp3 file may be missing when i look at it in finder.
    As the song plays in iTunes and on my iPhone it is perplexing as to why it doesnt on the Nano.  Does anyone know of a way to identify if a song will not play on the Nano as at the moment i am putting them on there and seeing which work and which dont.  As they used to work on there i am not sure what to do.
    Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved.
    Cheers
    Simon

  • Zen Nano skips songs between playing

    i own 2 zen nano's and both of them have been skipping songs randomly between playing... for example, it'll play -2 minutes of a particular song, then it skips to something else... then it'll come back to the original song...what's going on?
    i've changed batteries and all!!

    >mojitocrazy: thanks for responding to my post... i have a MAC (...)
    >i have 2 zen nano's... one of them is a year old and it has never given me problems and >i've always used the same method of downloading
    >JUST RECENTLY it started acting nuts!
    >the second player is a brand new and is giving the same problem..,
    Hello again,
    My NANO worked just for 22 days after I got it...
    Then the flash memory corrupted and I was unable to delete/update files...
    During the time it was working good, I experienced some mp3 files were incompatible with this player: BUT such files were simply ignored and the first next valid song was played instead. This is not really a shame for NANO because there are a lot of mp3 codec variants so, sometimes even the best player for PC fails to play...
    But the strange behaviour of your NANO is not clear to me...
    Theory :
    May be the file sistem has logical errors. So, the files are randomly chained and the player is playing some data from the first song, some from the next song and then from the first song again(?)
    Long time ago, I had an HDD crash. It was a software crash due to windows halted while writing the File Allocation Table. The result was all my movies, stored on HDD, get mixed togheter! Incredible...
    ->If you clear the files from NANO and then upload them again in a different order, the songs play bad in the same manner or it depends on the position in the memory?
    Theory 2:
    your firmware got damaged in some parts while you was upload mp3 files and now the program is corrupted...
    Both cases randomly happened because the NANO firmware is bugged and bad designed in the file handling, I think...

  • Does the 2nd gen nano skip with VBR mp3s?

    Hi,
    I have a 1st gen nano that skips with vbr mp3 podcasts. I would love to get a second gen for more space, but if it skips like the first gen, I will pass.
    Can anybody confirm whether or not the problem with VBR mp3s on the 2nd gen nano skips or not?
    thanks

    At first I thought there was something wrong with my iPod, but I'm glad to hear this is a common software fault.
    I just re-coded my MP3 collection to VBR and find that about 10-20% of my files skipps on my iPod nano (2nd gen). I might up the quality of the VBR and seee if that makes any difference.

  • Skipping songs without playing

    My iPod has started skipping songs without playing them. As soon as you select play it skips each song until it the end of the play list - is this a hardware fault?

    I had the same problem myself. Not being especially proficient with computers, I eventually simply removed the songs files from my ipod (and library). After reinstalling the files, everything worked fine. Perhaps this is a symptom of a larger problem, but so far so good. Hope this helps somewhat.

  • My ipod touch now skips songs I bought from itunes (only the ones from 2013 to now) and won't play them. How do I fix this?

    Hey folks! My iPod Touch now skips songs I bought from iTunes (but only the songs I have purchased since 2013) and won't play them. What do I do?

    First try deleting the songs and redownloading them
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Next
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • 2nd gen nano not recognized by XP or iTunes

    Situation:
    2nd gen nano with Nike+ will not appear in Device Manager nor charge. In essence, the XP pro computer does not see the nano at all. However, Nike+ still works, the nano still works in an iHome clock radio and it will beep when connected to a dock.
    Troubleshooting:
    * 5Rs attempted - however, since the PC Device Manager will not see the nano, I can't issue any restore commands.
    * even with nano in disk mode, PC does not see it
    * older first gen nano still works properly with same iTunes environment.
    Has the USB on the newer nano gone bye-bye?

    Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

    Yes that is correct
    Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • When selecting a song to play in iTunes, I get an error message indicating the song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it.  I have no idea where to look since the library hold all my files.

    When selecting a song to play from iTunes library, I continually get an error message indicating the original file could not be found.  Then asks, would you like to locate it?  Does anyone know how to fix this?   I'm not even able to play the songs I purchased due to this error message.  Any ideas how to remedy this problem? 
    Thanks

    It would help to have more background about your iTunes collection such as if you keep it on an external drive, or if you have moved or renamed anything recently.  iTunes is very sensitive to you renaming or moving files or folders involved with your media.  iTunes only keeps a reference to where a media file is located  and then goes to look for it when you try to play it. If you have changed things since it was added to itunes then it's like me sending you to look for a friend in my addressbook but that friend has moved.
    The other possibility is your computer is starting to lose files.  Again, the computer uses a reference database to tell it where on the drive to look for a file. If that database gets corrupt then it starts losing files.  Use Dsk Utility's first aid to verify your hard drive.

  • Every song I play in Itunes gets deleted out of its album

    Hi, I hope someone can help me. Every song I play in Itunes gets deleted out of its album and gets put into a Various Artists album.
    What can I do to stop this from happening?
    Thanks in advance

    That sounds like the tags have been updated by some other software, perhaps Windows Media Player, then iTunes comes along, reads the tag as you play the track and moves it around according to the new information. The damage is likely already done.

  • When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing and making little clicking noises. Any ideas?

    When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing for brief moments and making little clicking noises. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Error -36 is an I/O error, which could indicate a damaged Catalog file, corrupted bitmap or (even worse) a dying HD.
    I would recommend to run Disk Utility and perform a 'Verify disk'.
    If lots of errors are found, try to save as much files as possible to another disk.
    Then perform a 'Repair disk'. Repairing a catalog file or bitmap might cause loss of files, that's why I recommend to verify first and save the files, before repairing.

  • I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

    I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

    If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
    On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

  • IPod nano skipping song

    Hi all. I downloaded a song from the itunes music store and uploaded it it my nano (1gb), after about 16-19 seconds, it will skip to the next song. I have checked the settings for it on itunes, tried the 5 r's and taken it out from the library and added it again but to no prevail. The song will play all the way through on 2 computers. Any help will be greatly accecpted. Thanks
    Self Built   Windows XP Pro   1GB iPod Nano, XP desktop + laptop (painfully saving for a 17" Core 2 Duo iMac)

    I too am having songs getting cut off problem on a gen1 Nano. I've read through the Apple discussions and I've tried the 5R's several times, rebuilt the iTunes library, completely reformating the nano by writing zeros over the data, restoring back to an earlier version (1.1 and 1.2) and still the same thing. Digging into this further, I find the same songs do not cut off on my G2 20gig iPod, only on the Nano. I only started noticing this problem when I updated to iTunes 7 and the iPod updates that went with it- it doesn't mean the problem wasn't happening earlier, just that I wasn't noticing it.
    Digging still further, I find only a few songs have this problem (I've found 7 out of out >4,200) and that they seem to match up. Song A stops ~30 sec before the end and song B stops ~30 sec from the beginning. Song C stops ~54 sec from the end and song D stops ~54 sec from the beginning. Further, these 7 songs were all downloaded from iTMS between 9/17/05 and 12/11/05 (I bought a total of 30 songs during that period, but have only found 7 that are afflicted so far).
    Lastly, if I burn those songs to disk as an MP3 and reimport them, the songs play in their entirety. Sadly no solutions here, just observations.

  • Skipping songs completly

    Songs that recently got down loaded from the iTunes Music Store will not play on my new nano. It displays the song title, artist, and album art in the now playing menu starting at 0:00, then it skips over the song before playing and goes to the next song. I have already tried to restart the ipod and reload the songs but this had no effect. The files play fine in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
