  • 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.

  • Ipod Wont Sync My Music in itunes

    Ok big problem. I have all my music saved onto a 120Gig Western digital Portable Hard drive. i have an 80gig ipod. ive had it for about 5-6 months. i am now having a problem where it wont sync. what happends is that all of my music is in the itunes library. when i try to sync my ipod, none of the music syncs and all of the locations of the original file become lost. when i go into my hard drive and look, all of the files are missing. but when i either unplug the hard drive or restart my comp all of my music is there again. if i try again it does the same thing over and over. any suggestions? t would be appreciated. thanks.

    In answer to your last question, no - your iPod is not a goner, but you need to work out what has happened first so that it doesn't happen again. I'm guessing that if you look at "Other" on your iPod you may find it's quite large.
    Look on your iPod, go to the Settings menu and choose the About option; on that first display the graphic should show lots of blue (audio), some darker blue (video), some yellow/orange (photos if you have any) and a small amount of orange/red (other). That's the sequence, don't worry if the colours are slightly off or not there. If the last one - other is larger than the audio then that's where your storage has gone!
    I still think that your PC has allocated a different letter to the external hard drive compared to when you previously added the music. Then, when the iPod cannot find the music on your PC when synced, it moves the songs to "other". Have you checked to make sure there are no "rogue" drive letters still allocated and have you ruled out the possibility of connecting the hard drive in another sequence when connecting up other USB devices? (As I mentioned in my last post.) Once you have done that, then look in iTunes.
    If I understand you correctly, only some of the songs (in iTunes) have an exclamation mark against them, while some do not, is that correct? If so, it means that iTunes cannot find the location of ones with exclamation marks. So look at some of the songs that do not have an exclamation mark and try the *Get info/Where* to find out where iTunes thinks they are. Then check to see if the same drive letter is allocated to the hard drive when you connect it. They should be the same letter, are they?
    If not, that's been the problem. If they are the same, try "asking" iTunes to see if it can now find the location of one of the missing tracks. (It's possible of course, that some newer added songs were added after the drive letter changed and this will be a problem, but let's hope not!)
    So, what's the situation now? If you think the problem is a changed drive letter, make sure that the correct drive letter is now allocated and then ask iTunes to find the missing songs. (Unfortunately, this might be on a song-by-song basis!)
    Once you find the missing songs, (or if you don't you will just have to import them again into iTunes.) and your iTunes is now complete again, it's time to sort out the iPod.
    Connect up the iPod and on the iTunes Summary screen, use the Restore function. This will restore your iPod to its factory settings and remove everything from it, thus freeing up the missing storage space. then a fresh Sync will add everything back onto the iPod again. As you can appreciate, all this will take a bit of time, which is why you need to understand what happened so you don't have to go through this again.
    Let us know how you get on.
    Good luck,

  • Ipod wont put purchased music on itunes

    it used to be that when i would connect my ipod to the computer it would give me an error message that said could not syncronise ipod, session could not be started and then apple came in with a message saying that i have valuable information on my ipod and if they could use it and of course i said yes send to apple, so now when i connect my ipod to the computer everything works fine but those songs still wont go onto the computer so what is going on? i dont get any error message anymore it just wont go onto my purchased playlist.

    Plug your iPod in and (if it doesn't already) open iTunes. In iTunes, go to File < Transfer purchases from iPod. That should transfer music you purchased using the touch into iTunes. Since that is normally what happens, I think your error message stopped the process.

  • My ipod wont play certain music from Songs, but the playlists work fine, why is this happening?

    after the most recent Ipod update (along with the recent Itunes update) my ipod has been acting weirder than normal......on occassion it has frozen up or completely erased all my music when i connect it to my computer and has been sayng it's corrupted (it has since stopped doing this once i updated it but the past few days i have had to restart it numerous times) and when i plug it into itunes it freezes itunes and i have to argue with the thing just to synce my music!
    all the music that is on Songs has been added so it CAN locate the original file so im not sure why all of a sudden it wont work...

    This may work:
    -Plug in your iPod
    -Remove the song files from your iPod
    -Disconnect your iPod
    -Reset your iPod
    -Plug in your iPod
    -Send the songs back onto your iPod

  • Our ipods wont sync purchased music since the itunes update

    After our most recent itunes update, our purchased music doesn't sync with our ipods.  You must click on the song and drag it to the playlist you want.  Also, we are unable to fine a sort feature that shows purchaced music by most recent purchace, only by artist.  What is the fix for this, or is it a simple setting change?

  • Classic IPod wont load new music from ITunes ? Help!

    I have authorized a new computer with windows 7 to my itunes but cant get my IPod Classic to load new music from it. It recognizes the IPod but does not sync? I click on IPod tab that comes up and then summary and the open itunes with this ipod is checked, click sync at bottom right and it makes the ding noise but no music load?

    It says I tunes is synced with another I tunes library (probably my old one) on LAPTOP 20. Do you want to erase this IPod and sync with this I tunes library?
    so my question is do I have to lose everything on my IPod and start over, why cant I just sync my IPod with my new I tunes ?

  • My ipod touch doesnt play music anymore.

    Everything else works fine but when i click a song on my playlist it looks like its about to play it and then returns straight back to the playlist again. Does anybody know a way to fix this?

    Does the music play in iTunes on the computer?
    Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipod wont play the music that isn't bought in the itune's store

    I went to put one song onto my 5th Gen Ipod, and it updated to the latest version, next thing I know, it has deleted everything that wasn't bought over Itunes. So all the CDs that I imported no longer show up on the device. But if I look at the device though itunes (on my computer) it says that its all there, but I can't access it on the device itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm quite sure that's a problem connected to the last iTunes update (12.1.0.50), it affected my iPod 4th gen touch as well as many other users'.
    I think the only solution is waiting for the next update and hope this it will fix the bug.

  • Ipod wont save music

    Tried to add additional music to Ipod Touch but something went wrong and I had to restore it.  Once I restored the IPod wont save any music.  It goes through the syncing stage and when its finished the music file is empty.  Is there any way of fixing this?

    I would recomend trying to restore again, but don't do ANYTHING until it's done (both on you computer and on your iPod).
    When it's done restroing, try playing some songs from within iTunes. Do they play? If yes, try syncing again. And don't touch anything. If the songs in iTunes don't play, you know that the song files in iTunes itself are corrupted, and you might want to re-import or re download. Then try syncing again.

  • My Ipod Touch 4th Generation wont connect to Itunes anymore

    I have an Ipod touch 4th generation and suddenly it wont connect to my itunes anymore. It will connect to the computer but the device isnt shown on itunes. I cant sync my ipod up with any music or apps or even transfer pictures from my ipod to my computer. I have a Windows XP. Please help. I need my music. It used to connect automatically and with no problem.

    Here

    Does it charge?
    Does the iPod work? turn on?
    See if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow the restore.

  • TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

    I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

    What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
    The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
    Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
    If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
    if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
    If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.
