Songs skiping crazy

I have the NANO 1rst generation. Yesterday I had my ipod connected to my laptop and I disconnected it without the safely remove hardware. After that, I charged it and today when I tried to listen to my ipod, the songs skipped like crazy without playing any of them. I had to press PAUSE and then play and it started to play. But as soon as the song ends, the skipping repeats and I have to repeat the same steps... If I don’t press PAUSE if keeps skipping and skipping. I don’t know what to do! I already reset it... I don't know if this happened because I disconnected unsafely? But, what can I do?

I am having a related problem. I have had increasing skipping, and now find that shuffle is on for every song. I have gone back to iTunes; it does not indicate that the shuffle is on. I am looking for a solution short of reloading iTunes which I think I will end up doing.

ITunes radio scrolling songs like crazy!

When I select a station on my iPhone on the iTunes radio, it goes crazy. It starts scrolling through different songs super fast without playing them and will not stop scrolling. This does not happen all the time, but it happens a lot! I do not use Match and I have an iPhone 6 with latest upgrade. What is going on? Does anyone know?

My guess is that it's just the internet connection dropping the stream every now and then. But hard to say for sure without actually hearing it and also knowing how you're connected to the internet.

Philips mp3 go gear raga wont convert drm protected old purchased songs, goin crazy please help!

as the long title states, my old (waaaay old purchased songs) tunes wont convert from the drm protected state to get into my new mp3 player. My new purchases synch no problem.
I have downloaded drivers,updates, addons etc from phillips with no luck.
The apple itunes site is confusing as **** for support questions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks all.

Thank you for the response. I did indeed find the Itunes plus feature and when I clicked that it brought up an option to purchase drm free versions of an entire album of movie sound track songs that my ex had bought 6 years ago but I had no option to purchase drm free versions of the single track purchases that I had made years ago.
So instead of a bunch of great Pere Ubu, Suicide, and Killing joke tracks I wound up with drm free versions of Loyd Weber tracks.... I purchased the darn movie album hoping that maybe it would somehow apply to all my old songs but it did not.
My guess is that perhaps old songs purchased individually are not eligible for the plus service?
All I know is that now when I click on the itunes plus option it says I have no eligible Itunes plus songs available. Key word being eligible Im guessing, so 40 songs sit unusable.
I am going to hit up their customer service email thingee but I dont see having a happy ending.
Thanks for the response anyway.

Vista64bit Apple Lossless song skiping

iPhone has been skipping while in the middle of playing a song to the next song and tagging partially played song as played. It has bee getting progressively worse. Called support and with through all steps but keep happening. Went to Genus bar and iPhone was replaced thinking it was hardware. Started happening again and went to level 2 tech support. I had done a thorough job of troubleshooting and eliminating all other possibilities like corrupt files. Tech suggested that I sync my iPhone with my 32bit XP laptop (used before 64bit driver). Now it works perfectly so there is a problem with the Vista 64bit iPhone/iTunes driver. It may also be related to Vista64bit/Apple Lossless (all my music is lossless). I know that Vista64bit is near the bottom of Apple's to do list but is there any chance of having this repaired before the next update (and the 2ed gen iPhone that I'm already in line for)?
Also this is iPhone specific because my Nano and iPod continue to work fine.

Jason,
As stated had level 2 tech support and did lots of troubleshooting.
Latest iTunes/iPhone software
Have almost 400GB of lossless music (have well over 2500 CDs) and use my PC as a 24/7 home music server with Airports. All tracks play fine and also play fine on my Nano and iPod.
<edited by host>
Since it is random (it may play 15 songs before a skip or it my skip 5 in a row) to better test lossless/64bit driver I would need to encode several songs in AAC then load them on my iPhone with the Apple lossless versions to have a controlled test. This would be time consuming and I'm also obsessive about maintaining accurate play counts/play date info. Have emailed my tech contact saying I would do this but have not heard back.
Does Apple tech support monitor this board?

Itunes LIBRARY GONE! (5th Gen80GB)

Hi,
I have a 5th GEN 80GB iPod.
I would not say a proud apple owner, given all the problems I’ve had over the years with the device apparently overheating ,then shut itself off while playing in a JBL soundstage speaker thang, (could have been the JBL, (but they insisted it's not them, it's the ipod) as well as the music library in my itunes on the computer suddenly disappearing.
I have XP Home SP3. I installed the itunes software in my primary boot hard C: Drive, and kept all my music in my second internal F: drive. I’ve always had all my (mp3) music ripped from all my old tapes, CD’s and online purchased tunes on my computer, in a music folder.
When I bought this 5th GEN ipod, I installed iTunes on this computer, opened itunes, up and created about ten playlists, then methodically dragged each genre from my music list folder into the specific genre playlist into itunes…follow so far?
So the bad thing for me was, that every time I changed anything at all (date, mis-spelled word, wrong artist, etc.,) to one or more songs in my Music folder, when I opened itunes up, there would be a yellow exclamation next to any of those ‘corrected’ songs, then I would have to Double-Click on it, then LOCATE, to put it back into itunes again.
Last night, after buying four Mp3 songs from Amazon, which automatically opens up itunes to place them there, I noticed all my playlists ands songs were GONE! GONE! GONE!
For some reason, I thought by downloading Gizmo which restores itunes music back into itunes from my ipod would work, but it simply placed all the music into my itunes/itunes media/music folder on the C: drive which was filling up the 74GB drive, and ALL my music was close to that size.
So I uninstalled Gizmo, created another MY MUSIC>ITUNES MEDIA>MUSIC in my F:Drive (500GB) then changed the directory output in my itunes music in itunes Preferences to this location on nthe F Drive.
So is it crazy that I have two sets of music on my computer? About 38 GB of regular Mp3 songs, then another 37.2 GB in my itunes music directory?
I keep those regular songs in there for backup, in case this happens again. So now, I also see exclamation marks in hundreds of songs in the itunes library, which, SORRY, apple seems to think I have all kinds of EXTRA time going back and LOCATING each and everyone of those darkened checked songs! Crazy!
Does anyone with itunes have two sets of folders for music…main Music folder, and also itunes library folder? Or primarily, just the music in the itunes. I listen to my music in WINAMP, not itunes when I’m by the computer, preference I guess.
Thanks for any light on this subject.

Because my Primary drive is only 74GB, I got this pop up message telling me the C: Drive is out of space,that's where all these itune files were going. So I changed the path in preferences, to go to my second hard drive to a created new folder named 'MY Itune Music'. That added another 37 GB of music to my secondary HDD
Right. Because the music you had in iTunes is still in the first location and iTunes is using that.
Putting music into a folder then pointing iTunes to this new folder does not add it to iTunes.
Edit > Preferences > Advanced > 'Keep itunes media folder organized' is CHECKED.
....The second option, 'Copy Files to itunes media when adding to library' is UNCHECKED
This is fine.
When you add new music to iTunes, it will stay in the location you add it from. iTunes will not copy it anywhere.
The easiest way to manage music is to keep it inside the iTunes folder and iTunes manage it. Then everything is in one location. In addition, if you want to move your music, it's simply a matter of moving the entire iTunes folder and nothing will be changed or lost.
If you try to do things yourself, you must do a lot more work to make sure everything stays straight.
Quit iTunes.
Go to /Music/ and copy the iTunes folder to the F: drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library* and select the iTunes folder you copied to the F: drive.
Now everything will be as it was except the library files in the iTunes folder are now on the F: drive and this is what will be used.
The iTunes folder in /Music/ on the C: drive is no longer needed.
To get everything inside the iTunes folder...
iTunes prefs Advanced and make sure iTunes media folder location is set to /iTunes/iTunes media folder not eh F:drive.
Tick *Copy files to iTunes media folder....* and tick *Keep iTunes media folder organized*.
This will keep everything inside the iTunes media folder you pointed to in prefs Advanced.
Now go to File > Library > Organize library > Consolidate.
This will copy everything in iTunes library into the iTunes media folder you pointed to in Advanced.
At this point you can delete everything outside of the iTunes media folder on F:
Then you will likely have a bunch of duplicates in iTunes (since it was messed up before.
iTunes menu File > Show duplicates will help to sort it out.
If you edit filenames or paths outside of iTunes with windows explorer, iTunes will lose them.

Tethering and Music

So i've had my Droid for about 10 days. The sales guy at the store sold me on the tethering option stating that it is great internet service for any laptop...super fast, yada yada. So he puts the tethering app on the phone for me, which was free, and it works except it won't show any secure sites. Like it will nav through news and general sites but anything I need to log into it won't work.
Then there is the issue of music. He sold me on the fact that all music and ringtone downloads on these phones is FREE. Well, the music app he downloaded worked for the first three days. All i had to do was search, click, and download, and the song was on my phone for free. Now that app has stopped working.
Was my sales guy full of crap?? Or am I just new to this?? Thanks all!!!

Thanks for the help Rob. The music app was MusicWizard. Literally, the first two days I downloaded songs like crazy. Then the following day I thought of a song so I followed the same procedure I had been using and when I clicked the "search" icon nothing loaded. It was a blank page. Thinking it was a fluke I tried it again the next day, still nothing. I guess I don't get why it worked and then stopped. Hopefully someone has some insite into this.
Ok, on the tethering. I think I did see where you had to pay like $9.95 for the full features of the app, like to access secure sites. I wonder if that is a one time fee?? I'm trying to get rid of my $59.99/mo. I am paying for VZ's internet through the USB modem.
Thanks again!!

My itunes library on my phone and computer are not working

when i try to suffle my songs on my iphone, my songs go crazy and start suffling through all my songs. it also deleted about 100 of my songs for no aparent reason. when i went on my computer to get them back, they wouldn't sync back. last week i bought some songs and i wanted them to be on the computer, but when i plugged it in, they weren't showing up, and not playing or having any artwork. and then after a while they dissapeared off of my itunes.

Hello bill42567
Try changing the way you sync your music by turning it off and syncing, then turn it back on and sync again to see if the tracks move over. Also if you have purchases that were made from the iTunes Store, you can download them directly to your computer without your iPhone being plugged in. The articles below will sort you out.

Wow! What is the deal with iTunes?

Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes has been incredibly flaky. It just stops playing songs! Crazy. Very annoying. Tonight, out of the blue, my airport express will show a low signal and iTunes will say there has been some error connecting to my remote speakers. I guess I can see an error with the wireless connection, although it has never happened before, but the deal with iTunes just stopping a song mid stream is really crazy. Very random. Man I should have stuck with Tiger. All sorts of strangeness happening with Leopard, even though I erased and installed. Any thoughts?

What version of iTunes are you running?
What version of QuickTime are you using?
Have you applied the latest updates to your APE?

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);
HTH

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.

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 !

Hi,
I am having same issue with Gen 3 Nano, 8 gig, Red. Need help its like half my music. i have learned that on SOME songs you can scan forward past about 30sec and listen to rest of song, but this is not a fix. any ideas?

When I download music into Itunes and move songs into playlists, Itunes has twice randomly deleted all recently added songs from the playlists they have been added to. It is driving me crazy. Has anyone else had this problem?

When I download music into Itunes on my PC, every song is transferred into a specific playlist. Twice now when I have opened up Itunes, all the recent songs that have been moved into playlists have been deleted by Itunes. I now have to go back and figure out which songs are missing and re-add them. It is driving me crazy. I have 10,000 songs and now have no idea which ones are missing and which ones have been retained.
Please help. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi TRuss08,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like songs are missing from iTunes on your PC, and need to be re-added. I know that can be a frustrating situation.
The tips in this article may help the process go a little smoother:

My situation is improving a little. When I returned home I found that my imac went to sleep during the match process (I would think that the process would keep the imac awake, but I recommend people with large libraries disable energy saving features while Match is working). When it completed the process the second time I tried, a LOT of the greyed out tracks returned to my iOS devices. The only ones missing right now are the ones pending upload to the cloud. I have a few tracks that I've purchased and are on my iMac HDD that are greyed out, but that list is down to 10-15 out of 12,000... so I can work on those when Match is done.
I'm surprised that the iOS devices would restrict you from accessing sync'd content while Match is running - i.e. the content is already on the device. However, it's error handling that must not currently exist in the service.
My biggest take away right now is the lack of information Apple provided on this service. I'm using third-party tutorials online instead of a simple "what is Match and how does it work" document from Apple... Documentation is still a must, especially for new and potentially complicated services like this. I.E. tell me that you are going to restrict my access to my own content during this process, and that this process may take 2-3 days (still uploading).
