My ipod video wouldn't play music anymore

Today i was listening to my ipod video and it was perfectly fine after an hour, I wanted to listen to it so I went on to artists and clicked on one, then it started skipping through all the songs in that artist and it wouldn't play any music at all! Please help! Its a ipod video - 30GB

Ipod wont even play music anymore....please help

My ipod doesn't even play music normally anymore. Whenever i play music it just freezes and takes about 5 minutes to load.. and im really sick of it. I only have about 1,300 songs in the Ipod. I have 5th generation 30 GB Ipod and use the latest Itunes. I googled around and some people also have the same problem. They say its from artwork. I tried disabling artwork but still didn't disable any artworks. What should I do?
Thanks for the help.

After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod. It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod. It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

Try:
- Reset the dock
- 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.
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play. For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

My ipod fourth generation only play music through headphones cant play on it's internal speaker

my ipod fourth generation only play music through headphones cant play on it's internal speaker

- Insert/remove the headphne plug a dozen times or so. Clean out/blow out the headphone jact.
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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 the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likey have a bad headphone jack.

Video wouldn't play on iPod; Used Videora & still won't work

Hey guys, I have a 30 GB Video iPod, and I'm a bit new at this. I have some videos I downloaded and when I tried putting them into my iPod, it said it could not be played, since it was in .avi format.
But then, I found out about Videora, so I decided to try to convert my videos in Videora so it can play on my iPod video. Now, if anyone has used Videora before, they know that they have alot of options like MPEG-4/320x240/768 kpbs Stereo/128 kbps to H264/320x240/16:9/640 kpbs Stereo/128 Kpbs. When my video finished converting, I tried putting it into my iPod again, and it said it could not be played, even though it was in .mp4 format.
Could someone please tell me which one I should use, MPEG-4 or H264 ? And tell me what I'm doing wrong? I used Videora once to download a video, and now I can't seem to remember what I did. PLEASE HELP!?

Connect iPod to TV and play music

Hi all,
I bought the new iPod classic 120Gb about two weeks ago and got started with iTunes to create a library (using a Windows PC). I am very satisfied with how things are going until now.
Now I want to connect the iPod to my Samsung LCD and home cinema set using the component cable to watch video's and photo's. My question is as follows:
When playing music, is it possible to see the iPod menu on the TV screen? When I am sitting on the couch I will not be able to read the iPod screen, so I want to browse the menu's on the TV-screen (using the remote).
Is this possibe or will I only be able to use the TV-screen for watching video content and photo's?

I already thought so... May be an improvement for the future?
Anyway, I can create a good playlist and let the iPod do the rest

My ipod shuffle 4g wont play music from a cd

my ipod shuffle 4g used to play music, and i gave it to my dad. he synced it with a different pc and now music wont play. he put roughly 15 songs from a cd or two and only one plays, however it seems like a non-ear damaging version of static (that's the closest description i can get). the pc has WinXP SP2 Home 900MHz 256mb ram but i noticed iTunes when you open the all about it thingy (how to use it, etc not help but an overview) the videos become corrupt and if they do play they horribly lag and have color distortion (nothing is actually wrong with my monitor tho), and when you try to eject an ipod it says nothing is in that drive and you have to use My Computer to do it. its mysterious because on my Win7 laptop it used to function just fine, with music that came with Win7, iTunes Store content, and liek 5 cd songs. anyone know what's wrong? i haven't used iTunes in a while so I forgot a lot about how to use the deep menus and troubleshooting, etc. the pc is very old (he bought it from a gaming uhh... it was a place that used to be popular for gaming when computers had windows 2k, xp, me, and early versions of mac osx so the computer was very old and the place was going to close) about idk but it had Win2k and he upgraded it to the current version of xp. and the warranty on the iPod expired last month, because i bought it on my 12th bday, and i got frustrated because now i can't take it to an apple store for help free of charge or send it in for free warranty repair. grrr...so any help is MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated.

Did you select the option to play the music via BT?
Did it work before?
Do the spkearker work OK on another device?

IPod Video Folder = All my Music

Okay, first of all, i've had really bad luck w/ iPods Lately... I had a 30Gig Photo, it "sadface icon'd" and i sent it in, got a new one and sold it to my friend and bought the new 60GB Vid. My friend had troubles w/ the new one and luckily got a new-er one for free. Hassle.
But anyway, i have the 60GB Video iPod and when i click the Video Folder, when i click movies it shows all my "songs" and when i click Music Videos it shows all my "artists"... It seems like a simple fix or lame gitch. If i send it in, i'll lose all my movies (didn't back them up). Over-all... the Music works Great, but even when i find Movies or Music Videos in the "songs" in Music Videos, they only play the sound and has the first screenshot on the page (and this isn't the "TV Out" issue, because i've tried that).

Ohh yeah... and this same deal happened to two of my friends, EXACTLY.

IPOD Classic - Can I play music through HDMI

I have a TV with HDMI in
Bought a non Apple cable to play music through HDMI input
Can I PLay music through any HDMI convertor cable
Thanks

The iPod classic supports composite or component video. Unless you have something with enough smarts in the cable to convert that to HDMI then it isn't going to happen. There are no apps for the iPod classic and it doesn't have the hardware. Does the TV have component, composite, S-Video or SCART inputs? Any of these could be driven from the classic.
