Some songs incomplete in Ipod 2gen 4gig, Driving me crazy !!!

Hi everyone.
I have an issue with an iPod Nano 2gen 4gigs Pink. Some songs are just incomplete... they just play for around 30 seconds and then stop.
I have an iPod Touch as well and those same songs from the same itunes play just perfect. What s more is that when connected to iTunes i can play those songs from my iPod library with no problem on my mac, I also tried on other macs.
So the songs seem to be complete and fully uploaded to the iPod memory, just they won't playback.
I already did a reset of the iPod and re-uploaded the library to the ipod, and now some songs that weren t playing before now do, but some random other that played before now don't work anymore...
Can anyone help me with this ? it s driving me crazy, please !

Some songs in my Ipod classic get get off after a few seconds of playing, but they work fine in ITunes and other Ipods. I have reset the classic several times and same issue happens, any ideas?

I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song. It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white. It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

Unable to play "some" songs on my iPod touch

Hi there!
I've got an iPod touch 8GB with 1.1.4 firmware (with SW upgrade purchased from Apple).
I've got a MacBook running Leopard 10.52 & using iTunes 7.6.1 (9).
My problem has just started today (Monday). The iPod touch was fine on Friday.
The problem is some songs won't play! Others will play - but eg - 1 in 6 songs will play. The other 5 won't! Not good
This happens if you select by "Song" or "Artist" or even playlist.
If I press play then single tap the album art to reveal the play bar (where you can see the play time) - the playtime permentantly says "0:00".
If move to the next song - and that doesn't play, I'll move to the next. Then to the next - and so on - until a song does play. I've tried moving back to a non-playing song .. but no joy!
All the songs I've got were purchased & downloaded from iTunes. And ALL songs play OK on my MacBook through iTunes.
I have tried :
a) Resetting the iPod touch. Power key & Home pressed for 15 seconds. No joy!
b) Restoring my iPod touch twice using my backup. No joy!
c) Restoring my iPod touch and setting it up as a new iPod .. then syncing all my music over. No joy!
Apple's technical support after 1hr - couldn't solve it and suggest that I take my MacBook & my iPod touch to the Apple store in London for them to help diagnose it.
Does anyone have any other things I could try ? It would save me a journey to London. !

Okay, I think I've solved this.
Problem: Intermittent, but consistent of songs NOT playing. Attempted to play via Songs, Albums, Artists & Playlists. When the problem occurred - the playtime of effected song would permanently stay "0:00" - move to the next song. The fault had reproducebility of 5 in 6 songs not playing.
Solution. I think the problem was a corrupted playlist. This is what I did - BEFORE - solving the problem.
Restored my iPod back to factory settings.
Setup iPod as a NEW iPod.
Re-Sync copying across PlayLists from iTunes.
This did NOT resolve the fault (Tried this 3 times)
i) So, restored iPod back to factory settings and setup asa NEW iPod.
ii) NO syncronisation was performed between iTunes and iPod. (The iPod had NO music, no playlists - NOTHING)
iii) Deleted ALL playlists from iTunes. Except the Party Shuffle - which you can't delete anyway.
iv) Created a NEW playlist in iTunes.
v) Copied a range from music to the PlayList (Started off small number. 1, 5, 10, etc)
vi) In iTunes - specified that the only thing to be syncronsied was the PlayList that was newly created
vii) In iTunes - Sync to iPod.
The first time I did this - it only sync-ed 1 song. I made sure, that the first song that sync-ed was a song that couldn't play.
Guess what ? It worked!
I continued selecting ranges - and syncing. I made sure that all songs were ok - as I played the first couple of seconds of each song - every time I synced. I have 77 in total. Not much, I know
Not suggesting that you sync 10 of your songs out of 50k then re-check, then sync again etc etc.
What I mean - is try it for a small number. If it works for the first 10 of your syncs then it should work for the others.
Wonder if the playlists are stored as XML on the iPod touch. If so, wonder if it was a case of the XML not being sync-ing to it's DTD .
I dunno. At least my iPod touch is working now. Hope this helps somebody.

Some songs on my iPod have "duplicates" that I want to get rid of. I need help getting rid of them.

So I just got my iPod touch 5th gen yesterday and with the new iTunes and ios, it's all really stupid and confusing. Just as I thought I was satisfied with the music on my iPod, I find out that some songs have two versions.
I downloadable songs from both my account and my brother's account. I read the message that I can't do the whole download of past purchases for 90 days and went on since it didn't really seem to effect anything on my 4th gen. Now I have 800+ songs on my iPod and I guess Apple decided to get rid of being able to delete songs right from the device. So I delete all the songs from my iPod, go into iTunes on my computer, sign into my brother's account, and download the songs from there that I wanted. Now I have about 300-400 songs downloaded on my computer in iTunes. I sync all the music to my iPod and now I think I'm satisfied. But when I go to some of the artists, it has one song that's ok to play and then it has the same song that can't be played with the cloud button next to how long the song is.
It's not a big deal, but it really bothers me. How can I get rid of the one that has the cloud next to it. Thanks for the help!

The Cloud by the song indicates that is is an iTunes purchase but it is not downloaded on the iPod. If you only want download iTunes purchases to show in the Music app go to Settings>itunes and pp Store and turn off Show aLL.

Can't get some songs off my ipod!!

For some reason I can't get some songs off my old ipod. recently I lost all my songs on my new ipod so I went to my old ipod followed the steps of extracting files from ipod to itunes and come to find out that some songs didn't go into itunes. The files I want were downloaded using imesh and they are mp3 format. For some reason when I go into my computer and open my ipod's music folder the songs are not there yet they have to be because I can see and play them on itunes when I connect the old ipod.But I can see one of the files in a folder except that one file is really the entire album. It's about 13 songs and I can't seem to seperate them. So is there anyway to directly transfer all files from the ipod to itunes instead of doing the copy folder steps as described in apple's "transferring music guide"? Also I tried consilidating library and that didn't work either.

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

Can't hear some songs on the ipod

after I downlaod a song onto my ipod, I can't hear it. It skips the song and moves to the next one. But when I plug the ipod into itunes, and see the playlist, I can hear it.
problem: I can't hear songs independently with ipod.
I don;t know if it is the format it is in but it is driving me crazy.

How are you putting the songs on your iPod? Are you loading them through iTunes?
If you're just using the iPod as a removable drive and dragging the songs to the iPod, they will be stored on the iPod but not accessible through the interface.

I downloaded some songs to my ipod touch 5G and now headphones won't work properly.

So I bought some songs from Jessie J a couple of months ago and today I completed the album. After all the songs had downloaded I tried listening to them through my headphones, but no sound was coming through. I can get some sound if I twist them around, but the sound is not consistent. This is not happening with just the new songs, but old songs and other apps. Sound is working fine without the headphones plugged in. I have no problems like this before but the headphones are relatively new as I lost my previous pair. My ipod touch is about 5 months old.
What can be done to fix this? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

First confirm there is not a problem with the headphones
Then
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Cannot Download Some songs to the iPod Shuffle

I just bought a new iPod Shuffle. I have iTunes 7.0. I cannot download, or sync, or Autofill, or drag certain songs to the shuffle. I get error messages like: "Some songs cannot be copied to the device because 'the song' cannot be played on that device". So far all these songs are *.aif files. I tried converting it to AIFF but that didnt work either.
I have a regular 20G IPOD and I was able to download these songs to it. Someone please help!!!!

Thank you very much Michael. I see that in the users guide. I am dumbfounded!! AIFF is an Apple fomatted file!! How is it that an Apple device (iPod Shuffle) doesn't support its own file formats!??! OMG!! Somebody please tell me I am not crazy.
I fixed the problem by ripping the song as an MP3 file. Apparently this Apple device supports MP3 files, but not their own AIFF propietary file formats!

Why after upgrading to the new os do some songs in the Ipod library have a dashed circle next to them.

After upgrading to the new os some songs in my library will not sync to my Ipod. I can see them on my computer in the Ipod library with a dashed circle next to them. How do I get them to play on my Ipod. They are songs from store bought CD's in my Itunes library that will play on my computer in Itunes. They do not appear on my Ipod. I can see them when the Ipod is connected to the computer in the Ipod library. I reset the Ipod by holding the home & power button, I went into general settings and reset the device. I synced again but still no songs.

I have the same problem even from iTunes bought music it appears with dashed grey circle beside the ones that I have recently added to my iPod by downloading them from the iPod itself. I honestly think it has to do with the 7.0.3 update that they have recently released. It may have solved other problems but it has created more problems along the way.
Hopefully there will be a solution soon, if anyone has news or solutions please post thankyou
At least now I know I'm not the only one with the same kinda problem

View music on ipod - this is driving me crazy!

please help me... i know there's probably a very simple solution to my problem but i still cant figure it out...
im using itunes version 7 and whenever i double-click on the ipod button on itunes, all i get is that summary thing and all the other tabs (music, podcasts, games, etc)... but what i want to do is see a list of the music that i have uploaded on my ipod.
the thing is, i accidentally uploaded all the songs i already had on my ipod in the itunes library and when updated my ipod, all the songs were duplicated. i deleted the library, but i just wanna make sure that my songs on the ipod are okay.
but thats not what i need help with. i need help with viewing my music that's already on my ipod. im so stupid because i think the music i have on my library are the same i have on my ipod but, as i said, i just wanna view my ipod using the "list" and not the summary tabs etc.
please help! i've been trying to figure it out for a month already!!
thanks in advance!

Itunes can't copy some songs to my ipod

So I keep getting a warning from itunes that it can't copy 3 songs from my library to my ipod. This is what the error says word for word.
"Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because one or more errors occurred." It than lists the 3 songs that weren't transfered. The weird thing is that they songs were originally on my ipod but since I lowered the bitrate of all my songs, now they can't be on my ipod. It's weird because I've never had this issue until I changed the bitrate. And the songs that are giving me troubles are songs from different albums and different means of getting them. One was from a CD, the other from digital download and the other was from iTunes it's self. So... their good songs and I miss listening to them. What do I do?

Hello the_atm
If the songs are having issues syncing to your iPod, see if you can create a new version of the songs in either MP3 or AAC format and then sync it across again. You said one of the songs was a purchase from iTunes, try deleting the songs and then download it again if it will not convert.
