My ipod will only cycle through the songs when i tell it to play

when i tell my ipod to play an album it doesn't play just skips through every track and then exits to the main menu help!!!

Sounds like the audio files are missing. Connect your iPod and reload the songs and see what happens.

  • My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?, My ipod audio only coming through the right headphone whats wrong?

    Ive tried with mulitple headphones but my audio on my ipod is only coming through the right headphone. Whats wrong with my ipod? WIll I need to purchase another one?

    I don't know if this is a common issue: I bought an iphone from someone and notice that only the plug design of the stereo headphone that comes with it fits in its receptacle. I tried others that are generally for the same size but they can't go deep enough in the receptacle thus can't get any audio. One thing I noticed is that this iphone's receptacle is deeper in the device than usual, so any other plugs other than the one provided can't fit. I can't use my external speakers with it!!! I fail to understand this. All all iphones like this or is it a defect particular to mine? After all, my ipod touch doesn't have this issue! If anybody knows, please tell me.

  • My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

    my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

    The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

  • Ipod will only mount through USB

    could anyone please tell me why my ipod will only mount and update with the USB cable, and not the firewire as it used to. it won't mount on the desktop or the new laptop (c/w Tiger) this way but seems fine through USB. Is using the USB a one way road?

    ... not sure. I have had trouble before. Turned out to be a "bad" firewire port. Others have reported that switching Firewire cables helped.
    We can either try to figure it out ... or we could suggest uyou just reset everything. The latter is often easier.
    This is in order of difficulty, I think:
    1. Reset several times - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
    2. Check the iPod directory - with your ipod disconnected, open iTunes and set the iPod preference tab to Manual. Quit iTunes, connect your iPod, and if iTunes opens, quit it again. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities folder). iPod should show up in list of drives on the left. Select the iPod and click "Repair".
    3. Delete the iPodDriver.kext file:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61937
    4. Since you have a back-up of your music, open Updater and Restore your iPod - this will reformat it so your music (on the iPod) will be lost. It will be replaced when you resync it with iTunes.
    5. Reset your USB and Firewire ports - you might run a check to see if you get the same behavior using a different port. To reset the ports, go here:

    One of those should do it.

  • My iPOD nano just races through the songs

    Ok, my ipod, after clicking on any source of music (albums, songs, artists, etc..) shows each song for about one second, without even staying on the song long enough to hear anything. It just goes from song one to two to three to four, etc, extremely fast. It also does not show me any of the pictures for the albums. That is not a big issue for me, I just would really like to listen to my ipod again. Please help me in any way you can.

    Try reseting it (by holding the center button and the menu button at the same time)and if that dosen't work restore your ipod from the iPod updater.

  • TS2972 My new computer will only copy half the songs from the old one when I used the home sharing.

    The message that came up at the end was there are 6 problems. Can anyone help me?

    Hello sherron13
    Check out the first article to check out issues with your Home Sharing connection. If that does not work, then try to copy the songs using a different method from the second article.

    Make sure you don't have the Manually manage music and videos box check on the Summary tab

  • When I press play on my iPod the only the thing that happens the songs cycle through the current playlist instead of playing the audio. How do I fix this?

    Ever since this morning I synced my ipod to my computer all that happens is the ipod cycles through the songs in the current selected playlist. No audio or anything. All the songs that are in my song libraries and are synced to my ipod properly. I did not disconnect the cable whiile it was syncing. It has been a long time since I synced it. Why is my ipod doing this? This ipod is the current ipod classic with 160 GB. Please help

    Thank you, when I meant by I haven't synced with my library in a long time. I meant the day before this morning. So I already synced it and I am not hearing any audio when I press play. Right now I am in front of a mac at my job and I have synced and ejected it from a different computer and it still isn't working. Does this have anything to do with the fact that it might have something to do with my music library at my home computer?

    My ipod classic crashes after about 2-3 days of being attached to my Kenwood KDC-248C receiver in my Pickup.  There are about 2700+ songs on the Ipod, but only get through the first 200 to 300 songs.  The screen fades, but there is still power and a charge.  Does anyone have a clue because I don't.?

    There seem to be compatibilty isuue with KDC receiver and Ipod Classic firmware 1.1.2.

  • After synchronising, the iPod song starts part way through the song. Same song starts fine on iTunes. Wassup?

    Why is it that after I synchronise my iPod with iTunes the track on my iPod starts part way through the song? Only happens with the occasional song and is not widespread. The iTunes song on my laptop is fine - when I play it from iTunes it starts from the start.
    Any help would be very welcome

    You're in the exact same situation as me, and I can't seem to find help with this problem.

  • Ipod nano would'nt play, just kept looping through the songs.

    My nano is only six weeks old. It was playing fine but then suddenly stopped playing and would only go through the songs and then go back to the main screen. I just wondered if anyone ever experienced this same problem.

    i had the same problem and i couldnt figure out what to do so i sent it back to apple and i got it back within a week and it worked fine but all my music was off of it. but it worked and it was free.

  • Skipping through the songs...

    I have had some struggles with my iPod since it was synched with a dying laptop PC computer. After a lot of restores and resets, it seems to be back now. I am now using a different PC desktop successfully with my iTunes. However, I have had a recurrent problem...I live for the Shuffle...so I start Shuffling randomly through my Library and after, say, 3 songs that play normally the iPod begins to skip through the songs rapidly (with the elapsed time of the song always at 0:00 and not proceeding). If I choose a song specifically, then this one song plays but it tries to proceed alphabetically after that and again just skips rapidly through a lot of songs without stopping. If I power it off and back on, it is still in this skipping mode. I have to reset it or resynch it with my computer to get back to temporary functioning again. At first I thought this was related to a new car adaptor I bought, which plugs the long narrow slot at the base of the iPod to my car lighter for both charging and FM radio transmission, because this skipping happens every time in my car. However, it also happens, though less consistently, with just regular play just through the headphones.
    So, is this is a common problem? Is it likely a sign the iPod itself is damaged? Or a holdover from my synching-to-the-computer problems?
    Thanks
    Michael

    I am having the same issue with my iPod skipping through all songs that I have downloaded from iTunes and only playing the CD uploads. I just have to plug it into my PC and it will refresh from the iTunes but that doesn't do me a lot of good if I am traveling. Anyone with suggestions on how to correct this?
