My I Touch keeps skipping songs, these songs play on my i tunes but wont play on my i touch

My I Touch keeps skipping songs that I have downloaded onto it. These songs play on my I Tunes but wont play on my I Touch. At first it was just a few new songs at first but now its getting worse. Help!

Hello all - I had the same problem with my iPod Touch - The problem with mine was that it started happening when I added new music to my iPod Touch it started skipping most of the songs when I tried playing it in my car stereo, it would only play some songs but not all (my solution) - I back tracked and deleted ALL the NEW songs that I had added recently and after deleting ALL the new songs I tested my iPod Touch and it started working normal again so the problem wasn't the iPod Touch the problem was one or more of the new songs I added was corrupted and it was causing my iPod to skip most of the songs I tried to play - Nothing I tried was helping NOTHING - All you need to do is back track to all the songs you added recently and delete them until your iPod Touch starts functioning normal again...Hope this helps it sure helped me ;-)

Why does the music app on my phone keep skipping songs?

My music app on my iPhone 4S keeps skipping songs. It will show the album
cover for a second then it will skip right to the next song and sometimes it will
skip multiple songs. For example, once it skipped over an entire playlist and
went to the screen at the end when it showed all of the songs in the playlist.
I have update 6.0.1 and I haven't used the music app since the last update.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Mine is 18.2Mb it gets to about 37mb tops, Try logging out of the app, remove all apps that are running in the background then shut your phone down and restart, if that does not work hold the power and home button and do a hard reset. You shouldnt loose any data at all but make sure you back up anyway before hand, its just like a forced reboot of a computer really.

The music app on my Iphone 5 is acting up, it keeps skipping songs and wont allow the to play. You can see the music icon the on notification bar play and pause. When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it.

When i go back to the app is states the url is not responding. I have restored it from the backed up cloud save. It is the music app, I played music on pandora and it worked fine. I think it must be the app or the ios.

restore with itunes not from an itunes backup or cloud save they do absolutely nothing only a clean restore will solve your problem

My iphone6 downloaded music keeps skipping songs, anyone else having this problem?

I transferred music from Iphone4s to Iphone 6 and when playing music keeps skipping over songs continuously. Even when you move it to a song, it will keep jumping to other songs. Is anyone having this problem or do you know how to fix?
I have had the phone for over a month and so far, am not happy with at all. Hopefully, I will learn to love but not there yet at all.
Thanks

I've had this problem before and its when itunes screws up on syncing. the only way ive been able to fix it is by restoring my iphone. try this and make sure to back up before restoring!

My iPod just keeps skipping songs

My iPod just keeps skipping through songs and won't play anything.

It skips on my ipod directly not my computer. It would play one song then just keep skipping through and wouldn't play anymore. I figured out how to fix it though. You need to push the menu button and the circle in the middle at the same time until the apple comes onto the screen, this should reset it. It worked for mine. Thanks

My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping songs!

Please help! I have been having trouble with my ipod nano 5th generation skipping and fast forwarding songs. I have done a hard reset of the ipod nano which helped for about a day. However, the next day this problem started again. When I walk with it, it begins to skip songs, fast forward songs and act as if there is something pressing the buttons. A male voice will begin reading off songs on a playlist I'm not even on. This problem has rendered my ipod basically useless and I don't know what to do! I even locked the ipod so touching the click wheel wouldn't do anything; however, there was no success in fixing this problem. Also, I turned off the playback feature 'shake' and I feel like it still thinks that that option is on! I feel that maybe my click wheel is short circuiting. However, I am not sure. Any advice would help me! Thanks!

Since you have already tried a hard reset, perhaps you could try a full restore of the Nano in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would rule out the possiblity of data corruption or a software glitch on the device.

ITunes keeps skipping songs on my iPhone and iPad

This is a problem as many have reported. I have about 4500 songs on iMac that are combination of my own CD's and purchased music from iTunes. I have several dozen songs or more that are skipped on both my iPhone 5 and iPad air. I have been to two different genius bars to try to rectify this problem to no avail. For instance I have the CD Stage Fright by The Band. Even though on both my both my phone and iPad it shows the songs, song 1,2,3 and 5 won't play. I have tried everything. I have turned off iTunes match on my iMac. Turned off iMatch on my phone, deleted the music on the phone. I then turned iTunes match back on my iMac to refresh. Turned on iMatch on the phone. Now my entire library of songs are in the iCloud. I proceeded to download the Stage Fright album on the phone and once again the 4 songs will not play while the other 6 songs from the album will. This isn't a case where iTunes doesn't sell the album. They do and every song is available for purchase. Each one of the four songs plays perfectly on my iMac. I have never done an exact count of the songs that won't play on my iPhone or iMac. That would involve trying to listen to everyone of the 4500 songs. Another CD in particular is the Power and Glory from NFL Films, the music of Sam Spence.
Some of the clips are spoken tracks and some are music. I would say about 5 or 6 tracks will not play but get skipped over.
There is some glitch from the various updates of iTunes and iMatch over the last couple of years that have caused this. I could understand if tracks were somehow corrupted but they are not. It varies from artist to artist and album to album. Sometimes it is only one song on a particular CD.
I am purchasing the iPhone 6 next week. If no one can come up with solution can someone tell me how do a hard sync of my music from iMac to my iPhone. When you do a hard sync to back up with phone with the cable to mac when you click on music it says your songs are in the iCloud. When I restore my new phone from back up how would one do the hard sync where each of the 4500 songs are uploaded to phone. I know this is a long process as this is what everyone did before iMatch.

Since this has been posted I guess no one has a solution. The only other reply is someone else had the same problem. Apple doesn't care because they would prefer their solution which is to buy the tracks from them and not load your own CD's on iTunes. Somewhere in the cloud the tracks that don't play on my iPhone are sitting there. Makes absolutely no sense that the other uploaded tracks work fine. I guess I'm going to have to test all 4500 tracks to get the exact count and then go over the Apple store to see if they can submit this to a software engineer at the Apple campus to find an answer.

My 4th gen shuffle keeps skipping songs

ok the ipod isnt on shuffle and when i turn it on and click play the first song plays then the 3rd then the 7th and so on i tryed deleting the songs that wont play and puting the back on but that didnt work and sugestions

if you make a playlist and load the podcasts in the order you want to listen to them, it will work. In effect you are double syncing. I had the same problem and got it to work

Need help, how to keep some songs playing together

I've done a lot of searching for an answer to this but can't seem to find one and I'm not sure this is possible, but let me ask anyway.
I have a number of playlists in which I shuffle the tunes but would like to have certain songs (for example Queen's "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" play in the correct order (i.e., back to back) as they are intended.
Is there a way to sort of "combine" or group these two songs so that even during a random playing in a playlist they will still play together?

Actually, if you have the CD, the easiest way to do this in in iTunes. You won't need to use iMovie.
Before you import the songs from the CD, select (highlight) the songs that you want to combine together, go to the 'Advanced' menu and select "Join CD Tracks". This will combine the songs together when they are imported into your Library.
Hope this helps!

My Ipod keeps skipping songs

While i was listening to my ipod (it was in my pocket) i accidentally knocked the buttons. Now when i play my songs it just skips every song. Only when i press pause it stops but when i press play it starts skipping really fast again.
I think this is something to do with the settings. I tried using the "Reset All Settings" button but it still does it. Any help someone can give me on how to stop it skipping would be great. Thanks

do these links offer any help?

This is a recurring problem for me as well. I sync my music and there will be songs that play about half way and then just skip. It is not a problem with a file format because it did it the other day with a protected .m4p file. Now if I remove the file from the playlist and then resync it will be fine but then some other files are messed up. It will also add distortion to a file that is not there when I play it on the PC. The files also play just fine on 3 other ipods (a shuffle, a 3g 30 gig, and a 80gb classic).
Yes, I have tried resets, and have done at least 3 restores and the problem has not been fixed. I suggest you try to play your music on shuffle and see if the problem occurs. It has to be more widespread than this. Come on apple! fix this! It has gotten to the point where I have to keep a pen and paper handy when I listen to music so I can write down which files need to be removed and resynced when I get home. This is ridiculous!!!

Just updated to the newest 7.1 and cannot listen to my music. Once I skip one song it keeps skipping songs one after the other without stopping. Any idea?

I deleted the app from the muttitask as well. But once I open it and skip one song it does not stop? Haven't restarted my phone maybe somebody wants to run some diagnostics on it. But it is pretty frustrating. Have an iPhone 4 btw

Follow the directions here to restore the iOS:

Do not restore from backup, rather sync your content back to the phone. Test now.
