New ipod 30 gig 5th gen. Stops playing in the middle of songs

My brand new device stops playing a song. It does not matter if the hold button is onor not. The display still shows the song. I hit the play button and it continues. Might work for 5 seconds or five songs. No rhyme or reason. I have done the 5 R's, but it does not solve the problem. Any advice?

See if this helps

  • Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing in the middle of song

    Ipod nano 7th gen stops playing song randomly while listening. What gives?

    i think i FINALLY solved the problem - by simply switching the wire that connects my ipod to my computer (i was using a firewire, and switched to a usb).
    Did you by any chance have the iPod connected through a hub , or through another device, G?
    Its not uncommon to have issues like this occur if , for example, you have a firewire device equipped with a "Prolific" 3507 firewire bridge . THese are found in many cheap external FW enclosures used for external burners and HD's , for example. The only real solution is to disconnect all such devices to avoid interruptions on the FW bus. (or, at least with the iPod, you can simply use USB2 instead).
    Cheers

  • IPod Color (4th Generation) Stops Playing in the Middle of Songs

    Okay, maybe I'm looking for an excuse to get a new iPod. I really don't want to, but my two and half year old iPod Color (4th generation) is starting to act funky.
    Starting yesterday, for no reason in the middle of songs it goes into pause mode on its own. The display is still on, the song it was playing is still listed. It's just like I pushed the pause button, but the iPod did it on its own without me touching it. I wasn't running or shaking it and I've done a hard reset. But, it still does it on purchased songs and imported songs. Battery is fully charged. It's driving me nuts.
    Anyone have this problem? A solution?

    I have the same iPod and the same problem. And it's getting worse. Also, I've noticed that at least one album in particular seems to "crash" it or whatever this is. However, that crashing happens at different times with different songs on that album. The only consistency is that that album at some point crashes it. Other crashes appear to be random.
    It normally only requires that I toggle the locking switch and then hold down the center button and the menu button simultaneously for a few seconds (5? 10? I forget, but it's thereabouts.) Usually it then works, but sometimes it thinks its fully charged battery is dead and shuts down. Then I plug it in for a bit and it's all fine.
    Sometimes in iTunes after one of these episodes iTunes tells me it is corrupted and I need to reset it and reimport all my music. I think it's lying to me when this happens but I do it anyway.
    Most recently this crash thing happened again and the holding-buttons-down trick worked to shut it off but then it wouldn't turn back on. The dark Apple logo at start-up would appear then it would give me an icon of an iPod with a sad face, a triangle sign with an exclamation mark and the url for the iPod support site. Then shut down. Most troubling with this episode is that when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes would no longer recognize that it was there nor would Finder.
    But, I just fixed it by trying the bang the top corner hard on the table (seriously, it works). And that did the trick.
    Mostly I figure it is slowly dying and it won't be long until none of these tricks work anymore. So I relish every moment with it and secretly hope it does die soon so I have an excuse to get a newer, fancier one.

  • IPod 5th gen stopped charging in the middle of a charge.

    I was charging my iPod touch last night and in the middle of the charge, it stopped and gave me the "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPod."  It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source.  It's now almost dead and I really need my iPod to charge. I've already tried resetting and clearing the debris out of the port.  I'm not sure what else to do.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Try another charging source since I do not know what " It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source.  " means
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • New iPod Touch 5th Gen- iOS 7.0.6 major battery drain.

    iPod Touch 5th Gen, 32GB
    Have all the major known drainers off: such as Reduce Motion, Location Services, Notifications, Bluetooth, etc.
    Was at 100% this a.m.
    Usage: 2 hours, 9 minutes
    Standby Mode: 11 hours, 45 minutes.
    It was at 65% 4 minutes ago. 4 minutes later, it's at 60 % battery, and it wasn't even on.
    I always turn it off when not in use and turn wifi off.
    Only used to send texts via iMessage and take a few photos today.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Try:

  • Brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64gb problems with first power on

    I have just received a brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64 gb from amazon. After reading the instructions i tried to power it on but nothing happened.
    It was suggested on here to try the recovery start but again, nothing happened.
    I then plugged the device in to a wall socket charger to see if the battery is flat,but the apple logo comes on for about 15 seconds then goes off again. If I hold down the home button while the apple logo is off, after a while the ipod goes into recovery start up, but as soon as i unplug it from the wall socket adaptor it turns off.
    It will not do anything plugged into the usb soccket of my laptop.
    Any ideas or will I have to return this to amazon?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You can go to an Apple store even if yo purchased it from Amazon

  • On/off button not working on brand new iPod touch 5th gen

    My daughter has just unboxed a brand new iPod touch 5th gen that arrived today.
    It wouldn't turn on so I assumed the battery was flat which I thought was odd but I plugged it in and it came on - 90% + battery.
    The on/off button does not do anything. We've pressed it, held it - nothing. If I press the on/off and the home button together, Siri starts.
    It will only switch off after a minute has elapsed. We can't do it manually.
    What's going on? Any ideas?

    If you have an Apple store nearby I would make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

    Otherwise I would call Apple. You get at least 90 days of free telephone support.

  • Brand-new iPod Touch 5th gen often freezes win7 while charging

    Hi,
    I've had a new iPod touch 5th gen for about two weeks now.
    I also have a laptop that runs Win7, that has had no problems whatsoever until now, and that has no problems when the iPod isn't plugged in.
    Here's what happens:
    I plug in the iPod Touch to update files and recharge the battery
    All goes well, iTunes sees iPod, battery's charging
    Lalala
    Bam! Some 15-30min later:
    Laptop freezes over.
    I have had to manually shut down the laptop more than a dozen times in a couple weeks now.
    The iPod is killing the laptop dead. Slowly, but surely, it's happening.
    I love my laptop. I NEED my laptop. I otherwise love the iPod too
    This happens whether the iPod is ejected, but still charging, or not; whether iTunes is on or not
    I unplug the iPod: nothing; laptop still dead.
    Sometimes, it happens when I change songs, as I simultaneously listen to the iPod while it charges.
    Other times, it happens while fiddling with playlists and tag infos in iTunes. (<-- I am particularly weary of this one, since, it seems to me, the iPod takes a few good seconds to access tag infos/change songs, much longer than, for instance, did my iPod Nano 5th gen, though, understandably, that one did not have an OS)
    Other times, it just happens suddenly, with no apparent cause other than that the iPod is plugged in.
    Could it be the cable? (any way to find that out without investing in a new cable? )
    The iPod runs iOS 6.1.3; the laptop runs iTunes 11.0.5.5.
    The laptop is equipped with a fairly new SSD, no HDD [does that matter?!]
    Any help/ideas to get these two to get along would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks.

    If yo mean the iPod freeze and does some things when charging. other users have experienced that problem. However. I have not seen a reply concerning the resolution.

  • IPod classic stops playing in the middle of a song

    I've had the same iPod classic for seven years.  It still works very well, except that lately it stops playing in the middle of a song.  I have to hit "play" for it to start playing again.  Sometimes it will go for only ten seconds between stops, other times it will play just fine for several minutes before stopping.  The song that I'm playing doesn't affect the stops.  This only happens when I'm running, so I'm wondering if maybe the vibrations from running are what's causing it.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this?  I've tried restoring the iPod, and that didn't affect anything.  I always keep the battery fully charged.

  • How do you unlock iPod touch 5th gen if you forgot the code

    How do we unlock and iPod torch 5th gen if we forgot the code?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • Music stops playing in the middle of my song

    All types of music I play (YouTube, purchased etc. ) just stops playing in the middle of the song and still has the pause button as if the music was still playing. This isn't the first problem I've had with the iPhone recently. My camera had condensation in it at what point and no water had gotten on the phone. Also, my lol button recently stopped working and it isn't stuck or anything. I don't understand why there has been so many issues with the phone. I take very good care of it and I have a lifeproof on it.

    - First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
    - The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - Try both headphones and speaker.
    - If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required.

  • Songs stop playing in the middle of the track

    Ok, so I've got hundreds on songs in my library and I noticed that certain songs stop playing in the middle of the song on my iPod. I get dead air, and then it starts playing the next song on the list even though the screen still shows the album art of the song that died. I have deleted the song from my player and then re-downloaded the song straight from iTunes only to have it happen again. I decided to run a little test and play that track on both my iPhone (3GS) and iPod (iPod Touch bought 2013) and sure enough, the song dies around the exact same time on both devices. I did not try syncing either devise to my computer (music files are not on my computer hard drive, but on a separate hard drive), so it wasn't like I kept removing and syncing a corrupted file. Now I'm finding more and more tracks have this same issue. So I have two questions:
    1.) Is there a way to identify corrupted music files on my devices or will have to listen to each track in it's entirety to identify whether it is corrupted or not?
    2.) Will I need to repurchase these tracks in order to correct the problem of playing in it's entirety?

    I have similar problem on two photo sleeks - affecting the same songs. I think it is a problem in the ripping of the CDs rather than the hardri'ves - otherwise it would affect different songs?
