Problems playing music on my ipod...

So i recently noticed that all the songs that I upload to my ipod (mp3s) are not playing when i select them on my ipod. I double checked with itunes to make sure that they were playing there and they do. I'm just confused on why if it's uploaded why they are not playing on my ipod when i select them. Any help?
ok this seems really weird but i noticed now that all the songs that don't play were all added to my ipod on the same date 9/27....i tried deleting them from the ipod then replacing them and updating to their respective playlists but they still would not play...btw all songs added after 9/27 are playing with no problems....this is weird...

Try to check if the battery is completely drained. Then charge the iPod via a power connection, not the computer. Sometimes the computer screws it up. Then, reset the iPod and plug it into the computer.

Problems playing music on iPod and iPhone 5

While playing music on my iPod or iPhone 5, some songs suddenly stop playing. The progress bar keeps moving as if it is playing but the audio stops. Songs play fine on my computer in my library. WTH?

Is this songs purchased on iTunes Store or were imported by a CD?
If the songs were purchased by iTunes Store, you should try to download it again, maybe it was a trouble when the song were processed!
You should give it a try!

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it automatically returns to the artists screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this..?

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it immediately returns to the artists screen. Can anyone help?

- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next would be a restore. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factoruy defaults/new iPod.

Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

HT1329 Can I connect my old iPad to my iPod to play music from my iPod

Can I use my old iPad to play music from my iPod.

No. There is no built-in software functionally to directly access an iPod from an iOS device, such as an iPad.

How do i play music from my ipod shuffle gen 4 on external powered speakers

Can I play music from my IPOD shuffle gen 4 using external powered speakers? If so, how do I hook it up?

First a curiosity question. Why do you want to play through the computer? Why not use headphones?
Ok, now to your question. I have never done this before, but this intrigued me. I did some experimenting and got it to work. Here is what I did:
1) Connect Touch to computer.
2) Open iTunes.
3) Your device will show up in the left panel.
4) Click the little triangle next to your device to expand it.
5) You now have access to the different content on the Touch.
I have played stuff from Music, Movies and my playlists. Everything works the same way as if it was on your PC.
Hope that helps and good luck!

Yu can also pod.

How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

henry is correct. you can't do that.
however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen.

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock from my iPod, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen. Help me please.

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Is anyone having problems playing music on their iPhone? At times, particularly when you've got headphones in songs sound like a badly scratched CD, continually skipping in various sections of the song. Problem occured post-IOS 5 update.

Why is playing music off of iPod through iTunes so slow?

I've been having a problem lately with playing music directly off of my connected iPod in iTunes. I double click a song to play, and then the entire app locks up for at least 20 seconds, presumably while it's finding the song on the drive of my iPod. This is every time I play a song. I don't think it does this when it skips to the next song on its own.
Is it supposed to take this long? I know that I used to be able to do this, no problem before. It's really annoying when I'm trying to weed songs out of my iPod, but when I'm not sure what song I'm looking at, I have to decide if it's worth the wait to play the song to figure out if I want to delete it or not.
I feel like ever since iTunes 11 was released, plugging in the iPod touch and managing it has been a huge ordeal every time. It takes forever for it to "sync apps, sync photos" and "backup to the cloud." But now I'm just ranting. Is there a way to speed any of this up?

New Nano (8GB) freezes when trying to play music. Nike+ IPod at fault?

This is the second nano I've received, the original did the same thing. The nano works fine when I first play it, but after I upgrade to the latest ipod firmware and try using my Nike ipod thingie, I have problems with it freezing up. I take it to work (where I'm outside & don't have a computer) (no Nike connector) & try selecting something, but as soon as I try playing Music or a Podcast playlist, it freezes with the Play arrow button & "Now Playing" in the top menu & the light on. No button combination or toggling the switch will unfreeze it. I have to wait until after the battery has worn out & I get home to connect it to my computer to get it back to normal.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Cube, iBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Does this happen with any song or video you play? If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Any help apprecaited

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen
