Some albums not playing on iPod Touch

Hi.
Some of my music from my iTunes library is not playing on my iPod touch. Only the music with album covers are not playing. Strange.
I have tried to delete it all and reload the music, but no luck. Any help?

Try a restore from backup. If still problem try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Why do some podcasts not play on my touch?

    I download podcasts with Itunes. When I sync to my 1st Gen Ipod Touch most play fine, but some will not play on the touch. I get a message that there are some podcasts that will not play on my touch. They are all downloaded with Itunes and in the MP4 format. There are other shows in the same "sieres" that play just fine. But some episodes don't sync. They play OK in Itunes. How do I get them to sync to my touch?

    Hi AC,
    Thanks for that.
    I have Apple TV 1 & only use Handbrake.
    An example of 2 problem videos:
    High Society
    MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.09GiB
    1 Video stream: AVC
    1 Audio stream: AAC
    Encoded date: UTC
    Tagged Date: UTC
    Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
    Video 1290kps, 720*416 (16:9), at 25 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
    The Marine
    MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.53GiB
    1 Video stream: AVC
    1 Audio stream: AAC

    To a layman like me, these specs look similair to specs of my non-problem videos.
    e.g.
    The Pawnbroker
    MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 764 MiB
    1 Video stream: AVC
    1 Audio stream: AAC
    Encoded date: UTC

  • Songs not playing on iPod Touch

    I upgraded my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5.  I had trouble with apps but they are fixed now.  My problem now is music.  It retained my data but some songs won't play.  I didn't buy them on iTunes - they are from an older library when I didn't have iTunes.  Now it just plays the next song and it's very irritating.  They play on my computer and I haven't changed the file location.  Any tips?

    Not sure if your issue is the same I had: not playing tunes, playing the wrong tune, skipping ahead several tunes, selected song and playing song not matching. Here was my fix:
    Altered from original solution from Emily P:
    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Sync
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • Youtube videos will not play on Ipod touch 5 after ios update

  • Some songs not playing on iPod in iPhone

    I've had about 4 iPhones over the past few years and before that i had a second generation iPod nano. Over this period of time, I purchased a lot of music thru iTunes either on my computer or thru the one in iPhone. I then transferred music over from each iPhone to the new one. Usually this has worked fine, however since I upgrade to 4S, I've noticed that songs I have purchased thru iTunes on past iPhones (or the old iPod) no longer play. Although when just testing out different ones now I notice some old ones will play and others won't. I'm not sure if it's just a random issue or not. If I have it on shuffle and it comes to one of those songs, it either stops, or oddly enough, it will start playing a different song but still show the other song's album cover and information. If I play a song individually and it doesn't work, it will either just do nothing or it will skip to the next song immediately. I can't quite figure out what's happening with this but I'm guessing it has to be a migration issue.
    Has anyone else experienced this and know how I can fix it? Is it just a matter of authorizing something within iTunes or iPhone?
    Please let me know. Thanks!

    This is actually happenening on my non-itunes bought songs...basically songs that got converted from another source...perhaps from my old MP3 player from Sony...the problem is, they used to work on my ipod, and now they don't. I did try resetting the ipod, but that didn't seem to help.

  • 2nd Audio track from merged .m4v files does not play on iPod Touch

    I used Handbrake to encode two .m4v files of a concert DVD that spans two DVDs. I then took those two files and combined them into Quicktime Pro to create a single .m4v file. The file plays fine in QT but when I transfer the file to my ipod, only the first audio track (from the first file) plays. Once the video from the second file plays, the audio is silent. Here's what the movie properties look like:
    Enabled Name Start Time Duration Format
    ====================================================
    Y Video Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- H.264
    Y Audio Track1 -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- AAC
    Y Audio Track2 -- 1:27:28:87 -- 0:54:24:02 -- AAC
    N Text Track -- 0:00:00:00 -- 2:21:53:90 -- Text
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    So basically, anytime I combine more than one mp4 file in QT7 Pro, it will always create multiple audio tracks when doing a simple "save as" (vs. export as)
    Not exactly. QT has it own set of rules. As you noted, the video track had no problem merging into a single track. This would not have happened if you had merged video compressed differently or added an image/stretched image sequence. Not knowing your specific work flow or settings, I hesitate to make any claims here. Frankly, when merging audio, I normally prefer to use GarageBand when I want to create a single master audio track and still retain control of the other tracks for mixing purposes. However, I could just as well have exported the audio in the original file using QT Pro to a single audio file and used that audio track to replace both original tracks keeping both the original video and chapter tracks. It is all a matter of which work flow you consider easiest for a particular job or project.
    If I've exported out my chapter file as a plain text file, how do I go about reintegrating that withing the final mp4 file using QT?
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/chaptertracks.html
    The above link is a somewhat old tutorial explaining how to create a chapter text track from scratch. Since you already have the chapter track, just refer to the steps indicating how to add the text file back to your main movie file. (Ignore the step that says to set a "Preload" option as this pop-up has been removed.)

  • Movies not playing on Ipod Touch

    I purchased a movie directly from the Ipod. The download was successful but every time I try to watch the movie it says "This movie cannot be played" this is the first time I ever tried to watch a movie on it. Please help!

    i downloaded a tv episode yesterday (it was free, only reason i did it - normally they're way too expensive & i'd rather buy the dvd instead)
    this happened, it wouldn't play until i'd synced it and reloaded the tv ep onto my ipod.

    No, you should have Restrictions OFF.

    Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

  • My Ipod Touch is giving a error message of 'This accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' whenever I dock it in my Bose Sound Dock and refuses to play but will charge the device?? am screaming mad and want to be able to play audio thru using the 2

    my ipod touch will not play music thru the Bose sound dock and displays the message 'this accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' how can I fix it?

    "This accessory is not supported" usually refers to an inability to charge the iPod, but the music should still play throguh the Bose dock. My iPod Touch works this way.
    However, when the Bose refuses to make any sound, I unplug it from mains power for one minute. Then plug it back in and try again. This always sorts out the sound issue, but of course, it still will not charg the Touch.
    What happens in your case?

  • After Updating podcasts and some show zero TIME and not play on ipod

    Why do some podcasts not play and show zero TIME? At first I tried to play on ipod and after choosing to play a podcast it wouldn't play and jumped back to original title list on ipod. I wondered why, then went into iTunes and it showed the TIME on these as zero. Therefor there is nothing there to play, but I wonder why some different podcasts do this? Is it the website person who produced it that messed up so it wouldn't get into iTunes with anything, or is it iTunes not working? I have all podcasts set to Import using MP3 Encoder in Prefs, so then the KIND in list of podcasts show up as MPEG AUDIO FILE- does this make a difference?

    iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    I noticed I had to click on title name in podcast list, then I saw highlighted UNSUBSCRIBE at bottom as you said and was able to re-get podcast and it now has some minutes showing in TIME so am able to play. THANKS!
    I still wonder why this happens and if it's on iTunes side or producer of podcast.

  • 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.
