My ipod touch (and iphone) won't play long audio files.

What happens, is it gets to 5 minutes or so, sometimes 10, then skips to the next track. And when I skip back to the track I was listening to it won't go past that point. Why would this be? Could it be the way I have my ipod set up or the audio track? (These are long audio tracks btw, 50mins-1hr long)
Thanks

What is the source of the files? Do they play OK in iTunes on the computer?
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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have a problem an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem

  • Since latest update, Sound Check on Ipod touch and Iphone doesn't work.

    My playlists have always played at an even volume before Sunday's software updates to Itunes, Ipod touch, and Iphone.  Now my playlist volumes are all over the map.  I teach a fitness class in a large room to 70 people, and this is ruining it!!  Apple support on the phone told me it should work.  Yes, it did work until the update, and I didn't change anything until I noticed it wasn't working anymore.
    Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes, restored my Ipod Touch as a new Ipod, and even deleted and reloaded my music.  Still not working!!!

    Just a stab in the dark, but check:
    Settings -> WiFi -> (your WiFi network) -> HTTP Proxy
    Set the Proxy to Auto and see if that helps.

  • IPod Touch (and iPhone) can't find Belkin N Wireless Router

    I spent over an hour looking for an answer to this problem today and accidently found a solution - so am posting the answer.
    Have a 2 year old Belkin N Wireless Router (model F5D8236-4v1) with SSID broadcasting on and WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) security selected.
    All the Windows laptops in the house could see the wireless SSID and could successfully log in after entering the WPA/WPA2 password.
    Both iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS could NOT see the SSID. Also entering the wireless router IP address directly instead of the SSID did NOT work.
    After an hour of looking for solutions on-line, including:
    - Tried no security
    - Tried WEP 64 and 128 bit security
    then stumbled across a thread in a forum where someone referred to changing a "-" (dash) in an SSID name to a character. So tried this.
    The old SSID name includes spaces - "name name1 name2". I deleted the spaces, and the problem was solved.
    This Belkin router comes with a default name of BelkinN_WirelessXXXXXX, but does not say in the online help to NOT use spaces in the SSID name. And again, the Windows laptops could see the wireless Router while it had the SSID name INCLUDING the spaces in the name.
    Hope this saves at least one person going through the same wasted hour.

    Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

  • I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

    I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there.  However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually.  Can I still add stuff onto my two devices?  And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only?  Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices?  Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

    Morning @mb,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

    Music imported from a CD or another source
    iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
    Best of luck,

  • Same application on both ipod touch and iphone

    Is it possible that you're not supposed to be able to use the same Free Application (in this case New York Times) on both iPod Touch and iPhone 3G? I seem to be able to access NYT on my iPod but not on my iPhone.

    Allan,
    Thanks for your info.
    I'm still puzzled. I am logged in to the same iTunes account.
    And both my iPod Touch and iPhone are said to be properly synced. Both of them have five different applications that I really like (New York Times, Wunder Radio, etc.). These applications all appear on my Home Page of both iPod Touch and iPhone but they only work on the iPod Touch.
    I can't figure it out.
    The only clue I have to offer is that a couple of times the applications will work if the iPhone is miles away from my computer and my iPod Touch. Could that mean something?
    Anyway, thanks for your help.
    John B.

  • HT3775 I have Mac OS X v10.6.8 and it won't play an mpg file. Any idea why not?

    I have Mac OS X v10.6.8 and it won't play an mpg file. Any idea why not? I get the message that The document “M2U00002.MPG” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file. But when I go to the help page it says that Quick TIme will play MPEG. Any help would be appreciated a lot. Thanks!

  • My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't play certain songs?

    Okay, so here's what happened. I opened my iTunes (the latest one) and it's also on the latest iOS, and then plugged my iPod touch into the computer. Since an album didn't have album artwork and I wanted an album artwork to show up in my ipod, I added them. After that, I let it sync. After that, I tried to play it but it won't play. Since it is a bunch of songs from an album (Adele-19), when I try to press and play it, it would skip swiftly and it won't play. The album artwork is there already but it won't play, instead, it will skip songs. When I tried to play it in iTunes, it works perfectly.
    Also, I've tried turning the device off, even tried resetting it. But no luck. I just got this device last Christmas, didn't fall or anything. Can someone help me? Should I delete the music and put it on iTunes again? Thanks in advance!

    Yes, do that.

  • Can I sync both my ipod Touch and iphone to the same itunes account.

    I have an ipod touch and ipod classic that both sync to the same itunes account, and I'm thinking of getting an iphone. Will I be able to use the same apps on the iphone and ipod touch?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    It won't be a problem. You can use an 'unlimited' number of devices (iPods, iPhones etc) on a single iTunes account.
    I rushed off to O2 on Friday after work and got myself an iPhone.
    I backed up the iPod touch first (which was running 3.0 by that time) and then activated the iPhone using the iPod touch backup. Pretty much everything synced across exactly as it was on the touch (i.e. all Apps and paid apps), notes etc. One app I had never got to run on the iPod (iOSMaps) suddenly appeared on the iPhone too. Much like when you get a new Mac you find that all your settings and windows are preserved. When I opened Safari on the iPhone the last two pages I'd been looking at on the iPod were open. The only things that didn't sync were my emails - which of course downloaded shortly after the account details were synced (this is as expected), the iPhone suddenly being named 'iPod touch', my home WiFi password didn't sync and my email signature (not surprisingly still read - Sent from my iPod touch'.)

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

    I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

  • My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge.  Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic.  Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

    My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch.  It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic.  Anyone else have this same issue?  Any solutions?

    The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay.  The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs).  My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work.  So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch.  We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger. 
    One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic.  So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal.  Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord.  Or that I need to purchase an applie charger.  We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work. 
    My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
    Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

  • IPod Touch and iPhone - Syncing both on the same computer

    Is there any reason I would have a problem syncing both my ipod touch and a new iphone on the same computer? I want to have all of my music on both. My iphone arrives today and wanted to avoid any major issues.
    Thanks -

    Normally I would recommend this...
    Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
    When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
    This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
    However, I don't think you get the show artwork option for the iPhone, correct?
    Cheers,
    Patrick
