My ipod touch is skipping songs from my play list since i got the upgrade to 5.0.1

I just upgraded my daughters ipod touch to iOS 5.0.1 and it downloaded "newstand" and "reminder". Since the upgrade certain songs from my playlist wouldn't play, or would skip to the next song in the playlist.I have tried to restore to factory settings to no avail. aaarrrrggghhh!

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.

  • IPod touch randomly skipping songs

    I have recently overhauled my entire iTunes music library and sorted out all of my albums, album artwork and artist names etc in preparation for syncing all these songs onto my iPod (well over 240 albums, 3,500 songs and roughly 30 gig of music data)
    I selected "Songs" and have shuffled the entire library so I get a mixture of tunes while walking my dog. I have noticed that the iPod will randomly start and stop songs, this mainly happens near the end of a song - the track length is 4:18 and it will stop at 4:15 and go to the next song. I have checked my settings and the option to shuffle tracks when the iPod is shaken is turned off.
    I have also experienced that there has been approximately 30 seconds left of a track and then it will go into an entirely different song from another artist. When I click the arrow to go to the next track it will pick this exact song and the time or section of the song it's up to (for example 2:04 into the next song).
    When I say that I've overhauled my music library, I converted songs in iTunes to AAC 256kbps format (iTunes plus), I noticed some longer songs defaulted to a time of 4:58 (usually these were 6 minute + songs) so I converted these to AAC 256kbps using a third party program (MediaHuman Audio Converter).
    I currently have all of my music residing on another hard drive separate to my Windows 7 OS. I'm at a loss as to what to do as I've restored my iPod several times, manually deleted music and re-added it all with the same errors. They do not seem to happen on particular music tracks as I place the iPod on shuffle often so it will be random what I hear during a walk.
    Any advice or replies are appreciated - it really has me stumped as to what is going on.

    Close the music app in the multitasking bar. Then try again.

  • HT1879 How can I transfer songs from one play list to another?

    Any time I try and move a song to another play list I can't.  It just will not let me...

    Correct.
    You cannot transfer (move) songs to another playlist.
    You can copy to a regular playlist but not a smart playlist (with a gear icon).

  • My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

    My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?

  • When trying to play a song from a play list on my phone it automatically skips to another song

    This is happening on my ipod and iphone; I'll select a song to start playing from a playlist and it automatically skips ahead 1-3 songs and starts playing, and whenever I try to play that song it does it again. Some songs we put into itunes from disks and some were bought from itunes and it doesn't seem to discriminate against either type and it's really bugging the crap out of me! Just started about a week ago....any suggestions? clues?

    It could be because of a corrupted song. Usually a resync will solve this issue. Try the following form of troubleshooting to find out which song is corrupted.
    Select Manually Manage Music and Media (or videos, can't recall which). Select half of your library and sync it to one device, and sync the other half to the other device. Play the songs and see which device skips. If only one skips, then it means that the half of the library that you synced to that device contains the song causing the problems. Split that half of the library in half and keep repeating the syncing/testing/splitting process until you find the song. Then delete/redownload the song. If both skip then it may be multiple songs.

  • IPod Touch 4G, some songs don't play after Update to iOS 4.2

    I have songs on my iPod that do not play when I select them from a playlist. The iPod just keeps skipping the song immediately and moves to the next in the list.
    However, the very same song plays, when I select it directly from the "Artists" or "Album" view.
    And: The same song plays fine under iOS4.1.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problems.
    I created smart playlists of unlistened music (play count = 0), and it reads the first song, the second, then the fourth, the sixth, etc. It reads the two or three first in order, and then skips one song, plays one, skips another, plays another, etc.
    I do not have that problem with "regular" playlists.
    I disabled the "shuffle when shaken" option. (translation from French)

  • How do I fix my ipod when it skips songs,doesn't play song,or plays a different song than requested?

    My ipod started messing up ever since i downloaded the ios 5. Everytime i request a song it will skip the song and pick a random song, not play the song at all sorta like it's frozen in that spot until i fix it, or i will click on a song and it will play a different song all together but with the title song that i chose. i'd really apprieciate the help. Thanks so much,

    When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
    It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
    You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
    Or you can try this.
    No power adaptor? Try this.
    Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

  • I got the new iPhone 5 how can I make a song from my music a ringtone, I got the new iPhone 5 how can I make a song from my music a ringtone

    I got new iPhone 5 can't figure out how to make one of the songs from my music playlist a ringtone

    There are many apps in the App Store, which you can download (many are free) that will let you take a song on your phone and turn it into a ringtone.  Virtually all of them will require that once you've made the clip, you do something like email it to yourself, then connect your phone to your computer, save it iTunes, then sync it to your ringtones library on your phone.  Go to the App Store and type in Ringtone.  Lot's of options will appear.

  • Cloud is slow, choppy and unreliable on the go AND I cannot load songs on my phone permanantly since I got the cloud. How do I fix this?

    Are you talking about iCloud or iTunes Match?
    They are different things.  If you want your music on the iPhone, you should download it from iTunes Match.

  • Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?

    Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?  How do I get this to stop?  I have already done a factory restore and then reloaded my music onto this iPod. 

    I had this problem after upgrading to iOS4, but didn't discover it until I got to the gym and went to start my workout! No music (except the stuff they play at the gym) meant a short workout for me!
    I figure that the glitch comes from the fact that when you upgrade to iOS4 iTunes takes a backup of your iPod, does the firmware update and then puts the backed up content back on, I'm thinking that there are some subtle differences between iOS3 and iOS4 that cause confusion.
    THE FIX! I have found that the best fix (in fact the best course of action) is to restore the iPod from iTunes (just hook it up and hit the "Restore" button and tell iTunes to treat it as a new iPod. Then just re-sync all your content and it should work perfectly. It is a much easier way of getting your iPod updated without as many glitches.
    HTH!!
