My 120gb ipod classic always restarts after playing a few songs...WHY?

This is extremely annoying and now has happened to the last 2 ipod classics I have had (both 120gb). Apple has made a terrible product or something is wrong with something I am doing. After playing a few songs or skipping through songs the Ipod will shut off and restart itself. PLEASE HELP!

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

Please help - My iPod freezes after playing an mp4 movie

Hi all!
I've converted some dvd movies to mp4 using Avex DVD converter. However, after I watch one of these movies, my iPod freezes, and I have to reset it.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks!
-K

.m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats are recognized formats. There could be a problem with the conversion.
You could try another converter.

IPod freezes after connecting to PC/iTunes

I think it's a common problem that iPods freeze after plugging in the USB cable. I don't know if it's working for others, but if i do a reset (hold menu plus select) on the iPod while it is plugged and iTunes is running it works. But i have to do this every time i plug it in... So much to years of software development...

"All of my songs that were numbered or had numbers in the title are not at the bottom of the songs list instead of being the first songs listed."
I assume you meant to say "now" at the bottom of the list?
Unfortunately, like it or not this how the latest version of iTunes sorts songs. Numbers now appear at the end of the listings.

Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
Pc Windows XP Ipod 5th generation

you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list.

My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list even though it has several more podcasts in it. it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them. My older shuffle never had this problem. How can I solve this?

Your older shuffle, if 1st or 2nd gen, did not have the ability to play from multiple playlist. It was essentially just ONE playlist that you loaded manually using iTunes. A very simple device. With the new shuffle, it works more like the "bigger" iPods and you can load more than one playlist (so it is more complex), but if you select a specific playlist (using VoiceOver), it works like the old shuffle.

That is probably because you are playing songs from the All Songs list, instead of choosing a specific playlist using VoiceOver. Podcasts do not play from the All Songs list.
it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them.
If you use VoiceOver to select a podcast, it only plays episodes from that particular podcast.
Here's what you can do, to make it work like your old shuffle. Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Podcasts" or whatever you want. Treat that new playlist like your old shuffle. Manually add the podcast episodes you want on the shuffle, in the order you want to hear them, on that playlist. NOTE: You can adjust the playlist order after adding the podcast episodes.
Select the shuffle in iTunes. You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary. Click Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you set up how iTunes syncs podcasts. Check the box for Sync Podcasts. Below that, since you have a playlist with the podcasts you want on the shuffle, you only need to go to the list under Include Episodes from Playlists and checkmark that iPod Podcasts playlist.
When you click Apply, the episodes on that playlist sync to the shuffle. Going forward, to update the podcasts on the shuffle, update that iPod Podcasts playlist (add and remove episodes) in iTunes. Then, the next time you connect the shuffle, iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes. If the shuffle is already connected, click the Sync button to update.
When using the shuffle, set the shuffle's power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position. Podcasts are skipped on playlists, if the power switch is set to shuffle. Use VoiceOver to switch to that iPod Podcasts playlist. The podcast episodes should play in playlist order.
NOTE: You can load songs in the same way. Create an "iPod Songs" playlist in iTunes, with the songs you want on the shuffle. Go to the shuffle's Music tab, and select that playlist. And audiobooks on the Books tab. You can load as many playlists as you want. The big advantage of the new shuffle is that you can have different types of content and keep them organized on separate playlists.
Here's information about VoiceOver, in case it is not already set up.

Freezes after playing video playlist

My 60G freezes after playing my video playlist. I have to wait until the battery runs down then plug it in to reboot it for it to work again. I took it back to Best Buy where I purchased it, and they installed the latest update. They claimed this would fix the problem. Wrong! Any suggestions?
Thanks!

There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing. However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

IPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!!

iPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!! After installing version 1.2 the "do not disconnect" screen took forever to disappear, so i just removed the cables and it still remained
like that, i restarted it manually, but now it's getting stuck when the apple logo appears...i reset it and when i finnally turns on, and i'm at the language tab, it freezes. can anyone help.!?

Apple just released firmware 1.2.1 for the ipod, you should try restoring your iPod again with that.

All it shows is that the tracks SHOULD be OK.
Next thing to try is to restore her shuffle in iTunes and reload.

Firefox 3.6.3 mac crashes after playing a few youtubes, is there a fix?

Firefox 3.6.3 mac, will often crash after playing a few YouTubes or navigating within youtube pages. Are others having this problem? Is there a fix?
== URL of affected sites ==

Hello Greg.
Make sure your Flash plugin is up to date. If it is and the problems are still there, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons, except Flash (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs

I'm not sure when this problem started, but recently I've noticed that my Apple TV quits syncing after only a few songs. Sometimes it stops after only a few songs, or up to as many as 40 - 50. When I'm trying to sync 700 songs, this is a hassle. Any clues?

Are you certain that the syncing actually stops? Does the ATV disappear from iTunes when this happens?
(As I mentioned on another thread, I thought that my syncing was stopping because the ATV was disappearing from iTunes, but I've subsequently learned that the sync does continue, even after the ATV blips out.)

I downloaded an album and it wouldn't let me play a few songs, so i deleted the entire album to try and redownload it, now it won't let me...help?

Did you remove the entries from your library, or just the physical files?
Delete the entries, close and reopen iTunes, select iTunes Store in the left column, then Purchased in the quick links section. Your missing songs should be listed under Music > Not on his Computer.

I took to my local Apple location and they just replaced it.

5G 60 Gig iPod freeze after fully charged...

My iPod freezes after a full charge. This usually happens after about 8 or more hours of leaving the power plug in, and occurs more often if the ear buds are plugged in. A simple reset wakes the iPod.
Have you experienced this?
Thanks!

They are partially charged. An hour is about right,
no cause for alarm.
how about the usual charging time? how long is it? mine is like an hour, and it is already full after that. is that ok?
