IPod mini stops playing and beeps!!

My iPod mini will be playing a song, then it will just stop playing and start beeping in this weird pattern. The display still shows that music is playing, but it doesn't start playing until I reset it. Then sometimes the sad iPod will show up and I have restored it 3 times now and this is still happening... is it shot??

for the "sad ipod" try this:

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete the songs and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I bought a coldplay album today and was listening to it and a few of the songs get to about 1:15 and just stop playing and go to the next song...can anyone help?

also when i was downloading them a few had stopped for unknown reasons but i just resumed the downloads and it said they were all done and i synced the 19 songs fine.
can anyone help with this?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

My ipod just stopped working and won't charge or turn on what so ever

anyone have any ideas of whats wrong?

I have the same problem.. i dont know what to do!

My ipad mini just stopped working and will not turn on again.

I tried holding the home and power buttons, but one of two things happen; either the white apple comes up (and shuts off) or the screen goes to the "iTunes" screen (and shuts off). What gives? It's charged to approximately 90% and I am right in the middle of an awesome

Ok, it is charged enough and tries to reboot but gives up. Try plugging it in with the wall charger and then try the reboot and see if it progresses past the logo. If it still won't restart, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking. I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on. Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again. I can't go forward or go back. When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air. I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing. I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's. I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem. I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product? It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

I Just ran into the same issue:
My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
Then it would get stuck at the same place.
I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
re-synced my playlist and same issue!
did a restore as described above - same issue.
Solution in my case:
one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
- Deleted the song from the local library
- re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
- now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
- re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
hope that helps someone else....

Songs (MP3) Just Stops Playing In iTunes.

Does anyone know why songs (MP3's) just stop playing in iTunes? Album art won't show up and the song was played several times in the past. Is there an answer for this or will it never be resolved? Is this the fault of iTunes or the songs or the user?

iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about the MP3 tags. Even if they played in previous versions, they might not play in itunes 8. But they might play in other jukebox porgrams like WMP or WinAmp.
See if your ID3 tags are correct using MP3 Validator.
Here is a good web article on it:

Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod? If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

I was listening to iPod nano in docking station and pressed center button and music stopped playing and a high pitched sound is emitting from iPod.

My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

So my first iPod 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 months! Please help!!!!

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.
