My Ipod Keeps Skipping tracks!! HELP!

my ipod keeps skippping songs when im playing one of my playlists!. it only plays any recently added songs and i have resest it but it doesnt do anything. Is it because i often charge it through the computer????...HELP!!....

I, too, amd having the same problem! When I have my 20GB iPod in "Shuffle Songs" mode and I hit the "next song" button, it will sometimes skip the next song, or the next two songs, or even skip 5 songs before settling on one to play -- this is getting to be really frustrating!!!

Hiya

I have the exact same issue with a 5th Gen iPoad with 30GB. I also posted it on this forum without any reply. There doesn't seem to be any contact with apple support. Question: how do problems get resolved? - How does apply support stay in touch with its customers? Does apple have any support?

My iPod keeps skipping music after I upgraded to IOS 7, I would tap a song and it wouldn't play all 308 of my songs, it would skip

I can't play my music, it keeps skipping when I tap on it. I tried everything and nothing is working. Thank you so much in advance. I appreciate it!

If your music was purchased in iTunes you can always redownload it for free... but without any backups.. there's no other way to get the music back.

My ipod keeps skipping songs, and my itunes won't play anything since the update. help

DAMAGED LIBRARY, SKIPPING TRACKS, HELP PLEASE!

I'm really hoping to get some help here, because I'm super bummed out about this. The other day Itunes on my laptop started skipping during one of the tracks that was playing. I didn't know what was going on, so I figured maybe it was my computer so I did a "disk clean up" and then defragmented my harddrive with Auslogic. Re-started my laptop, then openned up Itunes.
I got the message "Importing library" and after taking forever I got an error message saying something like, "Library damaged..." and it changed the file to "damaged". Once Itunes finally openned up, it said something about "gapless information" (sorry I don't remember the EXACT messages) and it ran through all of the tracks I had in Itunes. NOW I have a ton of problems with Itunes on my laptop:
*almost all the tracks now skip, it seems real hit or miss, the albums I purchased through the Itunes Store, as well as albums that I got from cds are all incredibly jacked up for the most part
*other tracks that I downloaded outside of Itunes are also skipping
*all of the TV shows that I purchased through Itunes are all showing that I never watched them (you know how they have that little bullet next to them if its a new file you haven't watched) even though I've seen all of them, plus a "TV Shows" playlist was created that I never made
*all of the podcasts I had subscribed to are all gone, instead a "Podcast" playlist was created where all the podcasts I have have all been moved to
*a number of the standard default playlists are all back, even though I had deleted them a long time ago to cut down on the number of playlists I had on my iPod
*now Itunes is showing "Playcount" and "Last Time Played" even though I had previously set up Itunes NOT to show them
Whew. That's about all I can think of. I've tried listening to some of the music I had downloaded outside of Itunes through Windows Media Player, and it skips there too. So I don't know if the problem is with Itunes or if my entire library is just completely jacked and unrecoverable.
I should say that after experiencing these problems with Itunes I never synced my Ipod back to my computer, so everything is still set up on my Ipod and plays perfectly, just like how I had it. If I had to could I upload my library from my Ipod back to Itunes so I could have all my music again?
Please help me. I literally listen to music pretty much all throughout the waking day. Either on my computer or on my Ipod while driving, working out, or at work. I really, really don't want to have to accept that I've lost my entire library after spending hundreds of dollars with the Itunes Store and spending thousands of hours downloading, searching, catalouging, all that. I would really, really appreciate the help.

Someone please help me out here. I've tried un-installing and reinstalling Itunes and the exact same symptoms were still there. So far I haven't synced my Ipod to my computer in over a week because I want to keep my music, but also this means that I'm not getting anymore podcasts or anything, no new music at all to my Ipod, plus I can't listen to music at home anymore because it skips. Someone please help me.

IPod Randomly skips tracks in the middle of play

As the topic says, I have a 30GB ipod and it sometimes skip to the next song on my playlist after the first 10 seconds of the song. The song differs every time and if I were to go back to the skipped song, it'll play through fine. Then after a while it'll do it again with another song exibiting the same symptoms. This happens randomly. So I've concluded that it's not the songs that are causing the problems. (All tracks are in MP3 format)
I don't know if it's broken or something wrong with the iPod's firmware and if I can get it fixed without too much hassle.
Any help will be appreciated

IPod Classic - skips tracks between songs

i have a brand 120G classic. when i play with my BOSE sound dock it periodically skips half way through tracks -- various tracks. But when i use any of my other iPods (iTouch, mini, friends classix) they work fine (so that eliminates the docking station being at fault.
i have rebooted, reloaded, reinstalled software for the iPod classic. BUT it keeps happening.
any ideas?

I, like everyone else, am having the same issue. I have a black 120GB classic. Noticed the issue while deployed to Iraq and working out in the gym. Thought it was a headphone issue (was using the ear buds with remote) returned them and problem remains. Now back and having the problem even when not being moved around. I am gonna try the back light recommendation, but, I don't like having the back light always on, so, that is a pain in the butt. I, too, AGREE that having this problem listed for OVER a year now is POOR business management APPLE!!!! This is the only issue I have ever had with apple products....But, definitely the most ANNOYING problem to have...

Ipod Mini skipping tracks randomly

Help, my Ipod's gone all weird on me - had it for approx 8 months without a pick of bother, however yesterday its refusing to play certain songs - songs which have played without a hitch before, and automatically jumps or skips to the next listed track. The songs play fine on my PC and were all downloaded from itunes.

You need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

IPod keeps resyncing tracks for no reason.

Grrrrr. All of a sudden, and for no apparent reason. Any time i connect my ipod classic, roughly 1500 tracks decide to resync themselves, even though they haven't been played, ratings haven't been added, haven't been added to any play-lists etc. As you can imagine, it's very annoying indeed, and probably not doing the ipod's HDD lifespan any favours either.
I've tried restoring my ipod, and re-installing itunes. But alas, it's still behaving badly.
Help!!!

First, please give us some time to respond. You posted only about 12 hours ago and it sometimes takes a little time until someone with an answer logs on and reads your post.
My suggestion would be to start a brand new iTunes library and resync your entire iPod. It sounds as though there is an issue with the library file in which the "sync indicator" for these songs is not being properly set.
You can start a new library by holding down the "Shift" key while starting iTunes (Click Here to see Apple's instructions). You will then be prompted to either open a different library, or create a new one. This procedure will not over-write your old library, but will, instead, create a second library in the location of your choosing (the new folder "iTunes 1" is the default location). You then need to replicate the settings from your old library (music location, for instance) and import all of your music to the new library. Make certain the setting to "Copy files to iTunes music location" is off (you don't want two copies of all of your music files). Once all this is done, you can sync your iPod with the new library. This will erase the iPod's contents and replace it with the contents of the new library (so make certain that all of your music is there).
Keep in mind that if you choose to try this, things like play counts, ratings, etc. will not be moved to the new library.
If this does not work, or the results are unsatisfactory, you can go back to using your original library by holding the "Shift" key again and choosing your old library when prompted.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

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?
