My 80 gig ipod color stops updating half way through

My ipod 80 gig color stops updating half way through the synch process. I have tried to restore it and it still fails and gives me an error message saying it cannot read or wrtie to the ipod after it is half way loaded after trying to load 5000+ songs only it gets to about 2,250 and stops.

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

  • IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

    IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

    Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
    But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.

  • My Mad Men shows stop downloading half way through.  Why  is that happening, and how do I fix it?

    I bought mad men and the shows stop downloading half way through.  Help!

    Do you get an error message when you try to download the items? If so, what does it say? (Include error message numbers if you're getting any, please.)

  • I recieved a notice that there was an update for Elements 13 but when I try to install it it stop's half way through then I get the error message that "updates could not be applied" I have tried several times and it continues to give me the error. What is

    I get a message that an update is available and when I install it the update stops half way through and I get the error code: U44M1I210 for Camera Raw and Elements 13.1 updates. I get the message "UPDATES COULD NOT BE APPLIED" Can someone help with this? Thank you. David

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
    I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
    But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
    Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
    You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s)  and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
    If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
    Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
    Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • Why do songs stop playing half way through?

    My husband downloaded a new playlist to his iphone, but many of the songs end half way through and then go on to the next song.  How can we fix this?

    Hi ktrib76,
    In my experience, the songs that are skipping may not have transferred over to your husband's iPhone correctly. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to the iPhone).
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from the iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

  • My iPod is playing songs half way through and not at the beginning?

    Okay, so I will be listening to a song like "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles and will get the urge to change the song to a different band and song half way through of listening to it. After listening to the new band and song and like a month goes by I will go back to The Beatles song and it will begin where i left off and not in the beginning like it used to. How can i fix this because it makes me mad that it starts half way through and not in the beginning?

    Hello uhmcookies,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I believe the "Remember playback position" is enabled for these songs in iTunes. This option will ensure that wherever you leave off in a song is always where it will be picked up off at. This is a nice feature for audiobook tracks, but not music.
    Anyways, you can disable it by removing the check mark next to this option from under the track's Options tab in iTunes. You can access this tab by right->clicking on the track and choosing "Get Info" from the menu.
    Hope this helps.

  • After restoring iPod it stops syncing half way

    After restoring iPod, it stops syncing while it is downloading music with an error message "Attempting to copy to the disk. iPod failed. The disc could not be read from or written to".
    My music is less memory than what my iPod can hold.
    What's up with this?
    THX!

    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

  • My nano just switches off and stops playing half way through a track

    Tried resetting several times ... still stops after approc a minute
    I switch it back on and press play and it continues right were it went on pause.
    Attempted to check if the MUSIC SETTINGS had some timeout ... but cant succeed.
    Any advice?

    Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
    Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
    Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
    Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

  • I bought an album but 3 of the songs stop playing half way through, it's just silence. Can I get a refund and if so, how?

    Recently, I bought the Adam Barnes album and I put it on my iPod. When I started listening to it and it was great. But when it got to track 4, it played the first minute and then it was just silence for the rest of the 3 and a half minutes song. It did this again for tracks 5 and 6 too, but the other tracks are fine. I checked my iTunes and it doesn't work on there too. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I get a refund? If so, how can I get one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Media Encoder CS4 stops encoding half way through

    I am going a little bit insane.
    Running PP and Media Encoder CS4 on Windows 7 and attempting to export a 5 minute film on preset 'Download NTSC Source' (but this happens no matter what settings I use): Media Encoder runs for approximately 5-6 minutes, loads the sequence, begins to encode and then stops.
    It doesn't spit out an error message, it finishes the file (a 6MB .wmv file (on these settings) that plays a blip of white and then ends) but never gets further than four minutes through what should be a 35 minute encode process.
    I've trashed the prefs, I've run all the updates, I'm using XP Compatibility mode ... I literally cannot figure out why the process should just ... stop.
    Help??

    Welcome to the forum!
    Do you have any titles, graphics or MOV files near the beginning of your sequence?  I think there was a bug in CS4 that would trash the encode if they were there.  It was eventually solved -- either through an update or in CS5.  Make sure your copy of CS4 is fully updated.

  • Nike Amp: stops connecting half way through workout

    I've been using the Nike Amp with my ipod for the past two months. It's a great piece of kit, and I've come to depend on it to change music, pause a workout when I need to wait for traffic etc. Now it loses it's connection to the ipod mid workout which is rather frustrating. Does anyone else have experience of this problem and any advice as to how I may resolve it? Thanks

    This happens to me in a roundabout way. I suspect the watch is just not a very good transmitter. I've had 3 watches replaced now and they all do the same thing.

  • Was watching a video I downloaded earlier today, and it worked fine. Tried watching it now and it stops about half way through. Solutions to this issue?

    This happened just today with the only two videos I downloaded from iTunes. They seemed to stop working after I synced my itouch, but I don't know how that would have caused the problem... Both videos will play about 2 minutes on the itouch, then stop.

    In case you do not know, to redownload videos you have to contact iTunes.
