Songs stay at 0:00 and wont play

I use my ipod often, and today when i tried to play it all of the songs stay at 0:00 and wont play. I tried resetting it with the menu and select keys, tried the self help "5 steps youd ever need" guide, and i've also tried restoring it and adding all the songs back onto it. Still no luck. I'm on xp pro, and ive never had any problems with my ipod before. Any input is appreciated!

I am getting that exact same problem. My 30gb ipod video worked completely fine yesterday, I had a lightning storm last night and my power went out. It didn't effect my ipod because it wasn't plugged into anything. But this morning, I tried to play a song and it would just skip right over it.
I noticed it was just the ones I bought on itunes. The songs I took from CD's work fine. I've tried plugging it into my computer and unplugging it. Nothing seems to work.
When I plug it in, every song plays normally. Its just when I unplug it and try to listen.

  • Ipod4 syncs music incorrectly with itunes after ios5 update. Playlists list some songs which are greyed out and wont play. Suspect they werent downloaded as Ipod now holds 16 000 songs. Previous max was 9000 songs.

    I upgraded to IOS5. Now have synching problems using the USB Cable . I tried everything. Resent the Synch history in ITunes. Unticked all playlists and synched to clear all music etc of the iPod. Reticked items to synch then still have trouble. After it synchs, I see a playlist with some songs in black and some in grey. The black songs play, the grey ones don't. The same songs in iTunes do appear there and will play. I don't have any broken links in my library. Anyone know of a solution.? Synching takes forever and seems to get stuck on importing the pictures for ages. I walk away and next morning it will be finished syncing but with aforementioned problems.

    You should send this to Apple.

  • When I try to play a song on Itunes, it has an explanation point next to every song and wont play.

    When I try to play a song on Itunes, it has an explanation point next to every song and wont play.

    The usual reason for missing files is that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
    When you get things fixed make a backup.

  • Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!!

    Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.

    When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

    Anyone have songs they bought on itunes that wont play?

    Did I not answer your question?  You didn't ask for any troubleshooting tips.  You simply asked "Anyone have songs they bought on iTunes that won't play".  And I haven't.
    If you have a technical support question, ask it.

  • Music has red dots on iphone and wont play

    Some music has red dots and wont play on iphone but appears on ipad and plays. Also cant update pc with music purchased on ipad that has been backed up on icloud.

    I'm experiencing the same issues. Some songs will play andsome it just skips through and I can't make it stop scrolling up to the point where it will take me back to the main screen. depending how many times I do it or when I do it, some songs that didn't play on the initial try might play then, but not my whole playlist. All the songs play on my Ipad 3 and Ipod and they used to play on my Iphone 4 with iOS 6.

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • My music has a question mark on it and wont play

    my music has a question mark on it and wont play in itunes anymore.

    Which version of OSX and which version of Word?

  • Iphone 4, cant recieve media text with sound sound is seperate and wont play with pictures.

    when recieving media messages the sound seperates into quicktime and wont play with photo.

    I have been experiencing this problem for the last few days.  I've tried going in to settings and changing things on the sound menu but to no avail. I can get no sound on my videos, Internet videos and I can't change the volume setting when the phone is on the home page.
    I originally thought it might be a problem with the volume buttons on the side of the phone but they work for voice memo sounds. That audio seems to come from the ear piece so I wonder is there a problem with the speakers on the bottom of the phone.
    Any ideas on what's wrong? Did I possibly change some settings without realising? Is there a menu to change volume settings for videos?
    I'm going I go into an apple shop when I'm near one because this is driving me crazy!

  • Music wont play on my phone it says its there but its greyed out and wont play what do i do?

    Music wont play on my phone it says its there but its greyed out and wont play what do i do? Ive already re downloaded the music but its not playing on my iphone.

    Ok i think i have found out how to do it. Unplug your i phone, go to settings and then reset then reset all data and settings. This will warn you that it is going to erase eveything on your phone.
    DO NOT BACK UP BEFORE HAND
    then restart your phone and restore back up from when you donwloaded the new IOS5. This should sort out your problem :-)

  • I have a 6thgen Nano, and all the recent songs I've purchased from iTunes wont play at normal volume when connected via audio cable. Can anyone help me figure out why?

    This is a semi-new problem, ongoing for several months. I've purchased songs from iTunes before and they play just fine on my Nano when connected to an audio jack cable, but for some reason, anything downloaded in the last few months plays at an insanely low volume. Normally, if I hit the advance button on the Nano to skip to the next song I'll hear a split second of the song at normal volume, but that's it.
    I've restored both the iPod and my iTunes (using a Dell laptop, Windows 7) multiple times but to no avail. The songs play fine in iTunes itself, but I've even noticed a decrease in volume when listening to the songs on headphones. I'm beyond frustrated with this as I can't find any support online in the Apple archives, and I can't listen to any of my new music without burning to disc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    I have, a couple different pairs, unfortunately, and still no change. TBH, the headphones don't bug me nearly as bad as the fact that I can't plug my iPod into a radio or speaker with an audio cable and hear my latest purchases. Drives me crazy that I can't listen to my tunes!
