Round icon next to song on ipod will not play

I recently purchased 2 new songs the Apple store that loaded to itunes fine. After sycing, the songs were on my ipod touch but with a round icon (with a small rectangle in the middle) to the right. The songs will not play, and when i attempt to play, the pop up on my ipod says, "Cannot play. Connect to a wifi network to play song". In addition, the new songs are duplicated on my ipond, but not in itunes. The songs play fine on itunes. I have tried deleting all music from my ipod,and re-syncing without a resolve. All the previous songs purchased and synced to my ipod are fine...only the two most recent songs have the issue. I haven't had any problems in the last few years until now. Anyone else have the same issue, and find a resolution? tks

It seems like something is wrong with those song files. They might be missing or corrupted.
Try restoring your iPod, and then putting the music and videos back on your iPod, assuming they are in your iTunes library...

    My iPod will not play the next song, it continously plays the same song unless I manually change it.

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

  • IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

    iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • TS3297 I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my ipod

    I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my touch.  There were no error messages, and I see them fine on my touch.  They get to a certain point in the song and jump to the next song.

    Do they play ok on your computer's iTunes ? If they do then try deleting them from your iPod and then re-sync them back to it.
    If they also don't play on your computer's iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

    My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

    See this article.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song and it will not play in its entirety. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I downloaded a song and it will not play in its entirety. Is anyone else having this problem? This has occurred on two or three songs I've downloaded lately.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a couple of weeks or so.

    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site?
    Does the manufacturer say the dock works with your model iPod Touch and iOS?  Many do not.

  • Songs transferred to Ipod will not play in Itunes and don't show in Ipod

    I have had a nano for a good 6+ months and have yet to be able to fill it up with music. Under 200 songs it is a crap shoot whether or not the songs will show up after I eject it. If I load 200+ songs to the Ipod one of two things happen. 1. After ejecting the Ipod none of the songs i loaded show up on it, and after linking it back to the computer, itunes tells me that it must be restored. 2. a good number of songs will not play but are skipped over. The album art shows for a split second and goes to the next song. The next time I plug it into my computer it says that It does not recognize it and forces me to restore it again.
    I have done the following among other things.
    1. Repeatedly restored my ipod, this does not help.
    2. Re-installed Itunes and Quicktime.
    3. Loaded only AAC files.
    4. Turned off Spy Sweeper while before plugging in my Ipod and load songs.
    5. Disabled Norton Anti-virus.
    6. Confirmed how I am ejecting it.
    6. Replaced my Ipod once.
    7. Bought a new computer HP Pavillion a1630n.
    8. Invested well over 40 hours of my time trying to get this thing to work.
    I have over 200GB of music which and I cannot get much more than 2GB on my 4GB Ipod without a problem. As of this writting I have restored it 6 times, after each time I drag my songs to the Ipod icon, when it is done loading, I press the eject icon next to the IPod and each time I click English-->Music-->Artists--> and after that all I get is All-->All-->Nothing. I plug it back into the computer and have to restore it and start over. I have had the same problem on two Ipods, and two Computers. I want this to work so bad. Help Help Help.

    The exact message that I get each time I plug my Ipod back in states, "iTunes cannot read teh contents of the iPod "MILOPOD." Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
    I am continually restoring my Ipod over and over again reducing the number of songs on it over and over until I get lucky enough for the songs to stick. Only about 100 or so will regularly stick. I am now restoring it for the 7th time.

  • My iPod will not play songs that I've put on it from my computer.

    It plays Them on iTunes, but they will not play on my iPod.
    It selects the songs, and brings up the screen, and the icon is on play, but the songs do not play.
    They're not songs I bought, it's some that I put on my iPod manually from the music I had on my computer.
    I've restored it, and tried again, but I don't know why that didn't work.
    Please help me! I'm dying of music depravation.

    Are they in a format the iPod can play?

  • I am not computer savvy.  I have a second generation itouch, and have never had any problems.  Just recently, certain songs will not play.  It will skip the song to the next one.  Certain videos will not play.  The message, "This movie could not be played

    I am not computer savvy. I have a second generation itouch and have never had any problems with it until now.  When I try to play certain songs, it will not play the song and skip to the next song selection.  When I try to play certain videos, the message "This movie could not be played" appears.  I contacted a tech spec who said it was possibly a format problem.  How do i fix this?

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It will not play except when connected to my computer.  I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

    My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs.  It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds.  It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me   I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work.  How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting?  I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily.  Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks.  Karen in GA

  • 30 GB Video IPOD will not play the songs...PLEASE HELP!!!

    My 30 GB Video IPOD just stopped playing the songs. You can move easily through the menu, select a song, and press the play button, but the song will not play (the time bar doesn't move at all). It's as though it is frozen...it never moves from 0:00. Every other aspect of the unit is working...but the songs. Can someone help???

    Been through these?

  • 5th Generation IPOD will not play

    Up to this morning everything has been working fine. Today only 6 songs will play out of 25 CD's and 2 video's that have been loaded the past 3 months. When I attempt to play a particular CD, it runs through each playlist song but will not play any of them. I reset the IPOD however, that did not fix the problem.
    Gateway   Windows XP  

    I have the same problem, with a few additional things- these same files which the iPod just breezes through one by one (and not playing) will not play in iTunes on my computer, either- an exclamation point appears next to the track in the album, and it doesn't offer to have me locate anything.
    Ditto for some videos- ! in iTunes next to them when I try to play, and on the iPod when I try to play said videos, the screen goes black for a while and then goes back to the menu I was just at.
    Some MP3s work fine, some videos work fine, everything else SEEMS ok.
    Answers or better yet, a fix...someone, anyone- PLEASE??!!!?
    FYI, GQCOP, I just dumped by files that did this, though there were quite a few. Grrr.
