My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

I have same issue with iPad3. all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes. maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn. I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
I have restarted.
I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back! iCloud restore was perfect. I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
please advise.
thanks,
phil

Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work. How can I fix this?

This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

IPod Touch 2G Crashing while playing music

Hello,
I've recently had a problem that while playing music, my iPod Touch 2G (4.2.1) has been freezing/crashing seemingly spontaneously. The symptom is an abrupt stop of music playback, coupled with the screen stuck with whatever it was displaying at the moment of the crash. Restarting using the Lock and Home buttons seems to remedy the issue temporarily, but I'm rather frustrated. Any advice short of a restore? I am willing and able to restore it, it's just so bloody long to get everything working properly again >.>
Thanks for your help!

Since you said resetting really does not fix the problem restore is you only option.
I would try restoring from backing first that will leave your iPod like it was before the backup. However, there may be corruption that is in your backup and restoring from backup may not solve the issues and restoring to factory defaults/new iPod may be necessary.

My ipod touch has stopped downloading new music (purchased via internet or from a CD) from iTunes when I sync it, how do I fix this?

I have a 32 GB ipod touch with plenty of space on it still, but when I sync it to iTunes, any music I've recently added will not download to the iPod. It was working fine until a month ago, but now even though the new songs are visible on iTunes in the "On this iPod page" but they show up as not downloaded. I've run a diagnostic test on my iPod but it said everything was working fine. Is there a way to fix this? I have purchased and downloaded music from cds and all of a sudden I can't add them to the library on my device.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

How do I get my new iPod Touch 64 Gb to play music through my stereo system

As a newbie owner of an iPod Touch 64GB I am trying to figure out how to get music on my Touch to play through my home stereo system. Is there a way to use the output from the Touch via the earphone plug to input to a stereo pre-amplifier to play my music.
Thanks for your help in advance.
PS I realize that I could purchase an Airport Express base station and do it wirelessly.

How do I configure my bluetooth on my iPod Touch 4G to automatically play music when connected and to connect as media not a phone?

Is there any way to have my iPod Touch automatically start playing music when it connects to my car stereo via Bluetooth?
Also, I would like the option to connect to my car stereo as media only and not as a phone. My car stereo supports the ability to connect to a phone via Bluetooth simultaneously with another device such as my iPod Touch as a media source. The problem is that if my iPod Touch connects first it will force out my phone from connecting via Bluetooth since it connects as a phone as well as media. I have been able to make this whole setup work by turning both my phone's Bluetooth off and my iPod Touch's Bluetooth off. Then turning my phone's Bluetooth on first and allowing it to connect. Then changing the Bluetooth option on my phone to only connect as phone. Then turning my iPod Touch's Bluetooth on and that works just fine. Both devices respond perfectly but for that to work I have to do that process everytime I get into my car. Is there anyway to set this up so I don't have to go through all of this hassle?
Btw my iPod Touch has been updated to version 4.3.5.
Any suggestion, comments, or concerns would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jon

If you store itunes andn iphoto library on the TC you could be in trouble. The TC has no auto backup mechanism.. it is simply unable to work as a true NAS. It has no media servers. It is slow.. it is very easy to corrupt libraries especially in connection over wireless. In general we recommend people do not do this.
If you go ahead anyway.. apple have specific instructions for moving the libraries.. do follow it.
I am not sure if the SONOS can play directly from itunes library or has to use an itunes server.. remember the TC is a dumb as a board router with no media servers. Apple TV also need an active itunes to work AFAIK.. you cannot play files.. unless you JB the ATV.
Also be careful as SONOS does not like apple names.. use all SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Finally yes,.. at last .. you can extend the wireless in the TC using another apple router.. you cannot extend wireless using any other brand.

Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

Ipod touch 5 doesn't play music not purchased

I tried everything. I restore my iPod to not just on back up, but I even restored it to manufacturer/brand new. I tried manually dragging my music, and I tried syncing it. I thought it was space but this is a 32 GB ipod touch, and I've had doubled the music before than I'm trying now, and it's still not working. I'm so fustrated with this. And of course it happens just yesterday, after the last update. I dreally don't know what's wrong. Everything else is fine.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
What is the format of the songs and where were the songs obtained?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?

Ipod touch 4 will only play music through Bluetooth device.

My daughter's iPod Touch 4 iOS 6.1.5 will not play music or video through onboard speaker or headphones. Music and videos will not even run unless Bluetooth is enabled and the device is connected to the Bluetooth speaker. I have tried blowing out the headphone jack and different sets of headphones.
Will restoring the iOS help solve this?

As I said in a reply to your other post, it will help if you have a software problem. Not if it is a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 8gb will not play music. It will play through headphones and while hooked to dock though. Any suggessions? I've been through all the reset, restore and nothing has fixed it....

Ipod touch will not play music. It will play though with headphones in and when attached to dock. Any suggestions?

If you have not yet restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod try that. If stil have the problem you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
