My video Ipod has stopped song playback

My four month old video ipod (60G) has stopped playing songs. It allows me to select songs and brings up the artwork as if about to start the time counter goes to 0.00 but never starts even though there is an arrow in the top of the screen indicating that it is playing.
I reset the ipod several times to no avail then reset to factory settings today loaded my full library and this hadn't worked either.
I have installed the recent software patch too.
please help me

Im not sure if the warrenty is still in effect. It is 2 Years old and the problem is that it will not update. No dont tell me about restoring my ipod, restarting computer, reinstalling itunes, and etc. I have done that plenty of times. The first 2 time my ipod has this problem those worked. But it randomly stopped working. So I restarted computer, didnt work, reinstalled itunes, didnt work, restarted ipod, didnt work, charged ipod fully, didnt work. So I decided to restore my whole ipod and now it wont even update the songs anymore. Could I take this to a apple store and see if they can fix it. Ill be going by one today.

Ipod has stopped putting songs into the recently played list, Any ideas Y?

My ipod has stopped counting songs and also now wont put any songs into the recently played playlist and its really annoying- Any ideas on how i can sort this out?

I am also having this (or a similar) problem. For years I had an Auto Playlist of Podcasts with "Play Count is Zero"/Live updating rules so they were removed each time I synced my iPod after I listened to them. Recently, the Playlist has stopped updating. That is, the podcasts stay in the playlist because the play counts never update. They show in the podcast library with 0 plays no matter how many times I play them on my iPod.
I also noticed that none of songs I play have their playcounts updated in the Library after I play them on my iPod. All the syncing seems to be going one way (from the PC to the iPod and not the other way around). I picked a song with a playcount of 1 and it over and over just to test it out and no dice/no update.
Any clues? Is there a setting I am missing? I tried resetting the iPod.... And the iPod played tunes/casts are also not appearing in the Recently Played list....

My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
Help ASAP needed

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

I took the video in 2009. I can't remember the camera model I took it with and the other information you request does not show up in the "i" panel in iPhoto.

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Thanks in advance,

Use a program like yamipod (from yamipod.com) to take the songs and playlists back to iTunes on the computer. Best part is that yamipod is free.

Ipod has stopped syncing

Hello
My ipod has stopped syncing on a windows 7 machine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. Under devices I can "traansfer purchases from ipod" but am not able to sync. When I run diagnostics from help it finds "no ipod" under device sync test. I ahve tried some of the other suggestions as well such as reinstalling drivers. I have also reset ipod. Please help!

I to have this problem it took many attempts to sync my Ipod. I also think it is a problem with the previouse up date, I recived another yesterday and have yet to try again with the new update installed. I was thinking it was my firewire card, and was going to try the usb cable if it happened again.
Well it all synced up ok this time via firewire, only 5 new tracks though BUT trying to copy contacts from out look now crashes itunes.

IPod has stopped updating

I drag songs/videos or even delete them, and it looks like I changed it. But when I unplug it from the computer nothing changed. My new videos/songs aren't there. I tried to see if the reverse was also true, and removed everything I had on my iPod. Looked empty, reloaded it, everything was back.
Umm...what do I do now?
Edit: it is still displaying the songs I deleted, but they are not playable anymore.
So something is updating
Edit 2: When I delete my iPod songs from iTunes, the amount of space used remains the same. It does not go down. But when I add more songs the amount does go up, but then they're not there when I unplug the iPod, but the smae taken is still taken.
Edit 3: Lol, after 3 hours of trying to get it to work it just started updating again. Oh who knows?

chris -
My ipod is doing something similar. It has stopped syncing with itunes. I added new songs into my itunes and when I plugged in the ipod it acted like it was updating. It even said "update complete". But, when I went to play my new songs, they were not in my ipod. So, I updated my ipod software, updated my itunes, restarted my computer, and reset my ipod. I plugged it up again - and it did the same thing. It acts like it is updating, but the songs do not transfer. What should I do now?

Video iPod has now crashed twice

I've been using my video iPod for just under two weeks now, and it has frozen on me twice. The first time, it froze when I docked it with iTunes, and today it froze when I went to start a video. In the first instance, I couldn't do anything with it until the battery ran out and it shut itself off. Right now, I am waiting for the same thing as the screen just shows a tiny strip of the video clip.
One more thing... often I cannot shut off my iPod after having watched a video. I have to play a song first before I can shut the machine off.
Have other people experienced these problems with their video ipods? My mini has never been this much trouble.

Reset your iPod when it gets stuck by pressing Menu and Center until the Apple logo appears.
Yes, others and I have the problem of the iPod not going to sleep after watching a video. It's a bug Apple will fix sometime next year or the year after.

30gb video iPod is playing songs out of order.

I have a 30gb Video iPod (4 or 5 years old). It has suddenly started playing album tracks in the wrong order. When I look at the album track listing, the songs are the correct order, but it won't play them that way. It's always in a different, arbitrary order. Please help! Thanks in advance.

First, try doing a Reset to restart the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
If that does not help, and this problem only affects ONE album, and this album's songs are seen as having the correct Track # information in iTunes, what I would do is delete just this album from the iPod. Then, add it back. If there is some corrupted data on the iPod related to the album's song order, this should fix it.
If it's happened to all albums (or many albums) on the iPod, I would do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes. Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. Click the Restore button. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.

Ipod has stopped being recognised by windows or itunes. tried everything

I plug ipod into the usb cradle

ipod screen then brightens with same 'do not..' message then goes back to menu on ipod

nothing updates and itunes diagnostics say connection has failed. all usb hubs reported in diagnostics are ok.
I have tried:
1. resetting ipod
2. windows /manage/settings/ipod checks
3. system restore
4. driver removal of ipod
5. firmware update removal in itunes directory
6. ipod lead instead of cradle and other USB ports
6. everything else suggested on the help and support centre
the ipod works fine and I can see/hear all music and video on it and the itunes library matches the ipod
device manager sees the USB device as (0)ipod and says it is working fine
but the ipod is not being recognised??????
HELP!!!! please
thanks

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.
