Since syncing my Ipod classic three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it just stops. After a little while, it moves on to the next song.

I have an old iPod Classic, 5th generation with video 30 GB. I sync via a pc. Since syncing it three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it moves on to the next song or if it's the last song, it goes back to the menu. I just synced again and it it still doing it.It also has a small group of dots near the middle of the screen that weren't there before.Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?  Thanks.

Please disregard this question. I have a better worded version coming up.

  • My computer died and I had to buy another one.  Now I can't sync my ipod classic.  What is the deal with this?  I added songs about three months ago and it was fine.  Now it won't sync.  It says it has a duplicate file.

  • My iPod classic keeps jumping to the next track and switching itself off.

    My iPod classic keeps jumping to the next track and switching itself off?

    It happens randomly. I can be listening to a song, it finishes and then theres no sound. The track doesn't actually start at all. When i say skips i dont mean is in the middle of the song and jumps. I mean the ipod switches to the next track.
    Format - All my songs have been ripped from CD's or downloaded from I-Tunes. I cant find the file type, sorry.
    I had a look on the link but the symptoms dont link to mine. It happens randomly, not when im cycling or moving the divece nescessarily.
    Thanks

  • I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with itunes but the error message says that it can't be synced because the required disck can't be found. What does this mean?

    I'm trying to sync my ipod classic with my itunes library, but I get a message saying it can't be synced because the required disk can't be found. How do I find what this disk is? I have over 2,000 songs in my itunes library but only 497 sync. Help!

    Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

  • A song that I just bought won't play more than 1 minute and 3 seconds with sound.

    I bought a song 2 days ago and I tried to listen to it but only 1 minute and 3 seconds of it will play with sound. My iPod says that the song is still playing but there is no sound. The volume is up but there is nothing. I tried to "report a problem" when I got the email receipt but my iPod said it couldn't connect to the iTunes store.

    Try deleting the song and redownloading it if you are in a country (USA is one) that allows free redownloads by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Firefox 4 was functioning well until two days ago. Browser will not open to my home page and tool bars do not appear. Was able to find toolbar but "back" button does not work. What changed?

    Firefox now opens to a blank page and the word Firefox appears in upper left hand corner in orange. It, apparently, contains a drop down menu. I can navigate from here but "back" button does not function in any website. How do I get it back to where it was previous to this change?

    You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
    (i) Page thumbnails (default)
    browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
    (ii) Blank tab
    browser.newtab.url = about:blank
    (iii) Built-in Firefox home page
    browser.newtab.url = about:home
    (iv) Any other page
    browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • My Ipod Touch will only search for available Wifi networks for a second then stop, and it will never find any networks anywhere.

    OK I own the 1st generation Ipod touch and granted I bought it used and its pretty old, but the Wifi doesnt work at all. When I click on the checkmark box it turns on and it looks like its trying to find a connection, but it only tries for one second (literally) and then stops trying to look for a connection. It wont bring up any connection to choose from no matter where I go, it wont find one connection. Please help me this thing is driving me insane. I was told it could be a bad IP address, and that there is a way to get a new one. But How? I already reset it and restored it and nothing seems to fix it. So now I dont know what to do with it now.

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

  • The audiobook I downloaded will only play for 20 minutes then quits. Never had this happen before. How do I fix?

    Downloaded an audiobook onto my iPod Touch and listened to the first 20 minutes of it. Then it just stopped playing. No matter how I tried to get back to where it left off, it would only begin from the start. I tried putting the same audiobook onto another device and it does the same thing. So, then I tried to listen to the story through iTunes on my desk top---- same thing. How can I fix this?

    It sounds like the file you downloaded has been corrupted in some way, although you should check using Get Info > Options tab that it doesn't just have a truncated stop time. Use the report a problem link in your account history and explain the circumstances. Someone from the store should help you get the issue resolved with a fresh download.

  • Syncing my iPod classic with Itunes on Windows 8

    Hello,
    I completed an itunes update a few days ago. Since that time; I have been unable to sync my iPod classic with my library or even manage it. I have been searching and see that this has become an issue for many people who use Windows 8. Is there any way I can fix this issue? I do not want to manage my iTunes music on the cloud. I just want to be able to plug in my iPod and manage it through iTunes. Is there any way I can do this?
    I contacted support for assistance, but didn't really receive any answers to my questions. The first reply was asking me what my issue was (when I had already wrote a lengthy explanation of the issues I was having) and the follow-up said that I needed to call to speak with a representative to see about support options including fee-based support. I don't feel that I should have to pay fee to understand why I can no longer sync my iTunes with my iPod. I have many songs in my library and I have paid for them all. Why can't I have access to them on my iPod? As it is; I can't even manage my playlists anymore.
    I am considering selling my iPod if I can't get this issue resolved. I really don't want to because it is still fairly new, but I don't see any reason to keep it if I can't use it.
    If anyone has any feedback or knows something that might help me get this sorted out I would be very grateful!
    Thanks--

    how did you fix it?

  • IPod Classic won't display artwork, delayed gap when playing songs

    Hi there,
    Recently I had my computer wiped and upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista (Ultimate) The music and iPod were both originally synced to the XP version, Upon reinstalling iTunes on my computer and placing the songs stored on my external hard-drive in my iTunes library and re-syncing my iPod Classic I have found that artwork will not display on the songs (it does display in the side view when browsing through albums though.) along with this whenever I choose a song to play on the iPod there is a long delay with the iPod loading and even just skipping a songs, which is even more annoying, Along with this when I sync my iPod or go to update it, it crashes iTunes
    I have tried restoring my iPod countless times, I've enabled disc use, disabled disc use, browsed over and over at the settings and preferences, restored the iPod, reset it, reformatted the iPod, reinstalled iTunes, defraged the iPod (I know its not recommended) performed a disc check on the iPod (which there are apparently no errors) I originally believed it to be corrupted but went through the necessary steps to fix that, I'm at wits end with the thing, any help?
    I'm pretty anal when it comes to my iPod being all organised so this is a massive bother to me lol.
    Cheers for any help and suggestions,
    Phil

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary).  Note how this Music tab is set up.  Maybe you can do a screen shot.
    Now, select the new iPod in iTunes.  Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod.  Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change. 
    The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full.  I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

    The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic. 
    Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?
