My ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

my ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

The problem is the "screen saver". Normally after some time the backlight of your ipod is switched off automatically and a clock appears. This doesn't work properly and leads to resets.
The solution: You have to go in the main menu to "settings/backlight and activate "Always on". After that your ipod should work properly. To avoid a very low battery runtime now, you have to adjust the brighness settings to a low value.
This also solves problems like radomly skipping songs or stopping playback.
I really would like apple to solve this problem, but i doubt this will ever happen.

  • IPod keeps resetting while playing an album

    I recently purchased the new Kings of Leon album, Only by the Night, on iTunes. However, when I try to listen to it on my iPod, after certain songs the iPod will reset itself and show the black screen with the white apple. This is the only album that this has ever happened with. I tried deleting the album and reloading it, but it keeps happening.

    Hey, just had this problem but its been fixed.
    This was my question.

  • My iPod touch keeps crashing while playing a game

    I downloaded recently Dinner Dash Rush and in the beginning it was fine, playing the time I wanted but in these last few days I start playing the game and suddenly it crashes. I have tried turning the ipod off and on but after like the second time playing the game it goes back to crashing. What should I do?. Also, the facebook app crashes A LOT, since the last update. I don't have the IOS 7 because my ipod is the 4th generation and I didn't get to have the update.

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

    Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

    From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
    Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
    How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
    How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
    Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

  • 30gig ipod video keeps resetting itself

    my 30gig ipod video keeps resetting until it runs out of battery life, if i have it connected to my pc, it just keeps resetting indefinately, and if i disconnect it, it does so until it runs out of battery.
    i've already reset it manually, returned it to factory conditions, I dont know what else to do, any help at all would be appreciated.

    Hello eonitwat,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try manually forcing the iPod into Disk Mode and then reconnecting to your computer. This might prevent the iPod from continuously rebooting to allow you enough time to try and reformat the iPod completely using the tools provided by Windows.
    Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod on WIndows. The instructions are for Vista and XP, but you'll find that Windows 7 is very similar to Windows Vista.

    If still no luck, you may want to consider having the iPod serviced.
    Worth a shot.

  • New ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    new ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
    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.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

    The latest version of itunes on my imac keeps quitting while playing through apple tv. Anyone having the same problem?

    Are you downloading iTunes form an Apple website or somewhere else? If the answer is somewhere else, try downloading it from Apple. Click on iTunes in the black menu bar above and go from there.
    Let us know what happens.

    Hello Harrywahi,
    Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with your unresponsive iPod classic.  I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.

  • IPod 120GB keeps restarting

    Hi. I'm having problem with my 120GB iPod. It keep on restarting without getting through to the main menu. Even if I switch to disk mode and restore it on iTunes, the problem still remains. One thing I notice after restoring, my iPod will be completely blank (without any folders, including the hidden ipod_control folder). I need to manually create the folder in order to connect it with iTunes (in disk mode). I also can sync my music in disk mode but once I restart it to main mode, it just keeps restarting again. Any suggestions, please? Thanks in advance.

    I have had this problem with my 160 gig classic. It will reset itself over and over and nothing else can be done while it is doing this. I just let it go until the battery runs out, then charge it by using the AC cable, not connecting to the computer. Once the battery is completely dead and it is recharged it stops.

  • IPod Touch 2G Crashing while playing music

    Hello,
    I've recently had a problem that while playing music, my iPod Touch 2G (4.2.1) has been freezing/crashing seemingly spontaneously. The symptom is an abrupt stop of music playback, coupled with the screen stuck with whatever it was displaying at the moment of the crash. Restarting using the Lock and Home buttons seems to remedy the issue temporarily, but I'm rather frustrated. Any advice short of a restore? I am willing and able to restore it, it's just so bloody long to get everything working properly again >.>
    Thanks for your help!

    Since you said resetting really does not fix the problem restore is you only option.
    I would try restoring from backing first that will leave your iPod like it was before the backup.  However, there may be corruption that is in your backup and restoring from backup may not solve the issues and restoring to factory defaults/new iPod may be necessary.

  • My ipod is not able to play any songs

    first he jumped the list, now he doesnt play any song...Updated and reset the ipod. thought maybe it was due to a song...but he couldnt play any song at all...can sb help me or tell me what to do?

    First make sure Shake to Shuffle is turned off in the Settings.  If that doesn't help, try restoring your iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

  • My iPod 7th Generation isn't playing any of my songs.

    I bought an iPod 7th generation classic. It played all my songs there wasn't any issue. Two days into using it, it stopped playing any music. If you hit play it said it was playing but the countdown stayed at 0.
    I returned it and bought a new one.
    However, the same thing has happened here.
    It is also stuck on lock.

    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.
