While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song? I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

Hello nowrunning,
Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings? To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

Skips to next track after a few seconds

when i have my ipod on shuffle it skips some songs after playing the first few seconds, please help!!!!!!

Remember the skipped songs, go into iTunes, highlight these songs, right-click, choose "convert to AAC (or MP3..whatever you've set). After converting delete the older songs, then sync your pod again and you're done!
Regards, Chris
P.S.: The Problem is, that iPod nano has problems to playback some (unknown) encoded MP3 Tracks. So when you import your Songs always with iTunes itself, then iPod will play all songs perfectly (no matter if you convert them to AAC or MP3, which you can set in preferences in iTunes. You just have to import songs with iTunes).

Powerbook starts up. then shuts down after a few seconds

Help!
My powerbook starts fine boots the system. gets as far as when the system shows the right hand dropdown menus then blacks out. some times the screen flickers first. It then will not start again unless I reset the PMU. then It starts fine only to repeat the problem.
I have tried it with another adapter, and its the same.
I've tried several PMU resets, and pram reset. unplugged it for several hours with he battery out programmmers button etc. But the problem persists.
Any suggestions are welcome

also and wierdly, its will run ok with the power plugged in for as long as the battery charge lasts. Then it does something similar to sleep. but without thesleep light.
I'm am really scratching my head here.
Any feedback would be gratefully recieved

Pavillion dv9730us no boot, no video display, starts to boot, shuts off after a few seconds

   Pavillion dv9730us does not boot, no video display, (tried external monitor while toggling F4, to no avail...)
Tried the troubleshooting proceedure - (hard reset: pulled battery, discharged "start" button , connected AC power,
no difference. Repeated the hard reset after pulling the memory modules, and re-installed one at a time in every possible combination, with no change.
   The laptop attempts to start up, with lights and fan, but only for a few seconds, then shuts off, and repeats this process.
I noticed that the lights stay on if I press "esc" for some reason, but the fan does not stay turning. Other than this, there is no change, (no screen, no beeps, etc.)
   Any insight here would be greatly appreciated!

   Thank you for your informative response. This confirms what I suspected, and it corroborates what I was told by a friend who had the same model, with a similar dilema. The repair price tag seems feasible enough, given that the machine's features are contemporary enough to make it worthwhile to give it a try. I would be greatful for any details on the specified repair options, and if there are any "workarounds" to help prevent such a meltdown in the future, assuming such repairs can reasonably be achieved. Thanks again. (Whatever's right ain't wrong!)

I have the newest version, but when I started it it goes down after a few seconds (half minute) and I can't do anything anymore, not even close it. What happens?

That is all, no more details possible. I tried also uninstall Firefox and install the newest version again, but it did not help. I even have to stop Firefox with the Taskmanager.
As a result I am noew using Google Chrome (and that is not a good solution I think).
So it is not a normal crash and I do not have an ID.
The previous version worked well with me.

You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

Skipping the song after a few seconds on certain tracks

hi, I have spent hours trying to find something about this and there's nothing anywhere, this is getting really annoying.
I bought a 2g ipod nano in February and here's my problem. When i play certain songs, the Ipod will stop after a few seconds and jump to the next one. It happens always on the same song, however I can make it work if I manually skip some of the song by holding the forward button, but it still might jump to the next one after a few seconds. Anyway, I missed a good part of the song in the process and I have to do it all the time. This is annoying because on some albums, I miss up to 4 or 5 songs. I don't think that's what you expect after spending $150 on a new toy.
I noticed it does that on songs that are irregular, with breaks in them. I have restored, reset, erased the songs and replaced them, looked into all the options possible, through the forums and the internet and cant find a good answer. please help me!

thanks for all the help.
now, went to play with those options and it doesn't change anything. I even try to set it up so it would skip the first 3 seconds of the song since it's where it stops. To no avail. just stopped at 7 seconds...
So, it's not the track, it's not the gapless option (on or off doesn't make any difference), it's not the Ipod program (reinstalled it several times). What is it then???

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 *****!!!!

Hi Patrick,
Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I downloaded an album recently, but I guess my internet was going in and out the whole time, and now 5 of the 14 songs will cut out after a few seconds. How can I re-download those few songs?

Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.

I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my matchbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my Macbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
