Nano speeding through playlist without stopping or playing...HELP

I can get into my playlist, but as soon as I hit the play button, it just quickly scans through all of my songs without playing anything. I am able to pause, but once I play again....same thing. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
Do you and your family have seperate playlists? My brother has an iPod too, and I figured out that I had to create one playlist for each of us. I think you have to have a later version of iTunes, though. Anyway, once you're in iTunes, create a new playlist. Then, click on your iPod and your iPod summary will come up. Click on "Music" and first check "Sync music." Then, select the second option, "Selected playlists." Click on the playlist you have created.
I hope this makes sense and that your iPod will work soon!

  • Itouch going through playlist without playing any

    I have only had my itouch for 6 months, and when i go to play a song or shuffle it looks as if it will play, but then it starts skipping through all of the songs in my playlist without stopping or playing anything. The play button on the screen flashes, but you cannot push pause or stop. I have tried shutting it off and restarting but it doesnt help. Has anyone had this problem, or know how to fix it?

    Yep, I've tried the first of the Rs tonight, so hopefully I shall not need to proceed with the others. Thanks. I'm curious to find out if this is a commonly experienced glitch, or simply a random thing.

    My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • How can I get itunes on my i pad to play single songs in a playlist without stopping it manually?

    How can I get itunes on my i pad to play single songs in a playlist without stopping it manually?

    To turn on the check marks on, say, 150 consecutive songs in a list, do the following:
    Click on the first song in the list.
    Scroll to the last (150th) song in the list.
    Hold the shift key down while clicking the last song in the list.
    All 150 songs will then be highlighted.  Click the check box in one of the 150 songs and all songs will exhibit the same behavior.

  • Nano skipped through playlist then shut down.

    I was in my car and my nano was hooked up to my radio via my charger/adapter. I wanted to skip a song, so I pushed the button and it started skipping through my playlist. Then it turned off and showed an icon (I don’t remember, but I think it’s the file with the exclamation point) and displays www.apple.com/support/ipod. I hooked it up to my computer when I got home and my iTunes doesn’t recognize that it’s plugged in. I tried the thing where you hold the menu and select button at the same time after you've moved the hold button. I didn't work. I'm not technically savvy at all and I need some help. If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thank you.

    If reset did not work as you mentioned, then I would attempt to restore the iPod. Just connect it to your PC and within the 'Summary' tab, select restore.
    Remember, restore will wipe out the contents on your iPod. When restore is completed, just sync your music.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

  • Playlist shuffles through list without playing

    I have a list of 50 spoken-word cd's that I've added to iTunes as audiobooks.  I put them all in a playlist.  When I play the list on my PC or iPad, it works fine, but when I try to play it on my iPhone, it does one of two things.  Either it shuffles through the list without playing, or it goes back to the previous screen.  I tried deleting the list on my iPhone and recreating it in iTunes and then resyncing, but no luck.. Suggestions? 
    Thanks,
    Amy

    Thank you for taking the time to respond!  I was just on phone with Apple Tech support, and when we disconnected, phone was working perfectly.  60 seconds later, the big black square with turning wheel in middle REAPPEARED saying "connecting to..." And 2 seconds later all music was removed from phone.  I reconnected phone to Air, sync'd AGAIN, and at this MOMENT I have music......go figger!

  • HT3775 Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?

    Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch.  Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.

    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
    Very important to uninstall the old first.
    Uninstall >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then reinstall new from here >   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Then restart your Mac.

  • Please help: My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything.

    My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything. The songs do exist physically on the device.
    I tried updating the iPOD but still the problem was not solved.
    Is there any way by which I can play the songs without downloading them again on iPOD?
      Windows XP Pro  

    I just had the same exact problem. It's like the Nano was forwarding thru the songs by itself..nothing would play!
    So I went and looked at the manual, which suggested I try resetting it first. I did, and it worked! Here's what I did:
    The manual instructed me to turn the "hold" switch on & off. Then it said to hold down the Menu and center button at the same time, until the Apple logo appeared. Then in a few moments the main screen came back on...and I was able to play songs again.
    Hope this works for you, good luck!

  • Ipod nano cycles through song titles in playlist:

    Gateway   Windows XP  
    When I try to play any song in the "purchased" or "newly added" playlists on my wife's nano pod it cycles through all of the song titles. I cannot get it to play any of the songs I select. It just continues to cycle through all of the titles. I know this is a malfunction because my 30gig Ipod does not function like this. I can select and play any song in any playlist. I'm thinking perhaps there is a setting I need to change.

    It doesn't sound like a settings issue to me.
    Try resetting the iPod by toggling Hold on and off, then holding Menu adn Select for 6-10 seconds until Apple logo shows up.
    If that doesn't work, make sure it has the most up-to-date software (version 1.1.1 released 3-23).
    If the problem continues, try restoring the iPod through the iPod Updater. This will wipe the iPod's memory clean, so you'll have to re-put the songs onto the iPod through iTunes.
    I hope this helps!

  • Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list.  For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library?  Thanks -Rog

    Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
    If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

  • My iPhone 4 stops after playing one song on any playlist after updating to IOS 5

    Hi all.
    I just upated my iphone to IOS 5 and my music playlists will only play one song, or a few songs and stop even when hundreds of songs are listed on that playlists.
    The top arrows allowing to enable "repeat playlist" or "repeat one song" work but the playlist just won't play or shuffle.
    I also realized that while the phone is on this freeze mode the "play icon" shows as it is playing but the timer won't move so the song is stopped.
    When it does play a song it shows the wrong picture of the album as well.
    Anyone having the same issue?

    I have the same issue. Some songs play, while others do not. The play indicator says it's playing, however the time indicator never moves. Can't tell what the difference is between the songs that play and those that don't until I get home tonight and can check iTunes. Tried a hard reboot of the iPhone (4) but that did nothing.
    This all began this AM following the iOS 5 upgrade.

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

    Getting really frustrated as i am a complete novice on this type of thing, any help would be appreciated. i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled no joy

    Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
    I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
    I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
    Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
    I'm a happy man once again.
