Trying to fix my sons Ipod before Christmas- it skips over downloaded songs
I have two questions, but if you can answer the first... I will get the second one later.
My son's Ipod skips over songs that are downloaded from Itunes... they show up on the playlist and also on the Ipod- but play for one second (actually just show up on the display) and then move on... what's up?
#2 Question. We have paid for and downloaded songs from Itunes... and some, but not all... will not let us play them.... says something to the effect that we are not authorized...
Please help.
Confused in Alabama.

You need to connect to a computer with iTunes and restore...start iTunes, connect the USB end of the iPod cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod, connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod. The proceed to recover and restore the iPod.

I tried to update my sons ipod. It has the itunes logo with a usb port on the screen. If I restore it I will loose all his games and music. Is there any way around this?? Please Help??
Yes, that is your only option.Yes. You have to restore.
Try the following if you have difficulty restoring.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod mini skips over downloaded itunes songs only
after downloading songs from itunes, the ipod mini skips over the songs after playing them 3 or 4 times
Make sure you have the newest version of iTunes and iPod Updater, and do a restore with the Updater and resync the songs via iTunes.
Generally skipping purchased songs are related to out of date software and updating and restoring or reputting them back on seems to help. -

I am trying to update my sons generation 4 iPod…i do know that there is a way to update his iPod to iOS 6.I do have a Mac Desktop.Could someone please help me ??!! Is there a way to hook it up to my Mac Desktop and update?
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

Need expert help - iPod Classics will not play recently downloaded songs
Sparknotes version of this question, so you don't need waste your time if you aren't interested:
-iPod Classic skipping over songs
-problem with iTunes transferring the files
-need help ASAP, we DJ with these iPods most weekends
Multiple iPod Classics are skipping over songs and will not play them. This is a recent issue and these ipods are not new - we have been using them for several years now. The playlist and the Macbook from which the playlist came are also not new. The playlist copies onto the ipod so that i can see it on the device, but after unplugging the ipod and trying to play a song the screen just gets stuck for a few seconds, with the play symbol showing in the toolbar, but then skips to another song until it can find a song it can play.
After some investigating i found that my itunes must not be properly copying the playlist - it shows up on the ipod, but when i view the ipod contents in itunes, that playlist is not there. Upon a second attempt at copying the playlist to one ipod, i found that all files still show up in the song list, some files are now playable, but not all. My husband and I are DJs and one can understand that this is quite a predicament, when all of our ipods suddenly only play certain songs.
Restarting the ipod does not solve issue. Again this is an issue with multiple iPods, so i am thinking that maybe it is an iTunes problem but i don't know where to begin trying to fix it. One thing i did notice was that when i plugged the ipods, iTunes sat in the "verifying iPod" stage for quite a while. I found some past forums that touched on this but it seems to usually be connected to updating the version of iTunes, and i have the most current version (10.6.3). This playlist was made years ago and the files should not be corrupt, at least they have worked fine in the past.I find this concept worth considering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve
The one year limited warranty ought to see you through "early failures". I have a sneaky suspicion that extended warranties are intented to cover "random failures" before "wear out" failure becomes likely which is why such cover is often limited to 3 years, the period when it is least likely to be needed.
In your case, assuming there is no obvious physical cause that has been overlooked, it would seem to be a random failure in years 2/3. Not common, but they will happen to someone.

I have an ipod mini 4g and when i download songs it doesnt work!
I have a ipod mini 4g that iv had for about a year and awhile ago i noticed that when i downloaded songs from itunes they worked for a little while then they just wouldnt play! the song name showed on the screen for a second but then it just skipped it and went onto the next song that i downloaded from a cd. i tried deleting it and putting it back on through the library but it did the same thing! what am i doing wrong
All I can suggest is:

Can you receive messages?
Could you send before when connected to this network?
Have you tried when connected to another network? -
Literally, over night, my iPod started acting weird. I cannot choose a song, when I do, it automatically skips about 3-5 songs before finally playing one. If I try to go to the next song if I do not like the song it landed on, it still skips 3-5 songs again.
Also, where all my songs are, a lot of them have the 'stop' button as if I was playing them already.
I have tried restarting and restoring and nothing had helped. Any ideas?SOLUTION: Some Music Won't Play After Upgrading Your iPhone To iOS7

My iPod touch is skipping over certain songs it used to be able to play, help?
It started a little over a week ago. It was after I had downloaded the recent update, I was listening to music and skipped this one song when I noticed it skipped over two. Then I tried playing one song and it skipped over that one and the next completely. I skipped back and it wouldn't play the song I had orginially wanted, but did play the one after it that it had skipped over. I've tried turning it off and reseting it. I'm at a real loss here because I thoughted it would be just a glitch and go away, but at this point I'm really fed up. I have a feeling it has to do with the recent updates since it use to play the songs it skips over now just fine. The songs have almost nothing in common and so far I've found it's about a donzen or so it skips over.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Classic will not play newly downloaded songs
Ok, I recently downloaded some new MP3's (from a 3rd party site, mp3fiesta.com) into iTunes. The songs play perfectly on iTunes and they also have no issue playing on my iPhone 16. On the other hand, they refuse to play on my iPod classic 160. I use the classic in my car, and it's what I play 99% of my music through. It pretty much worked flawlessly until I downloaded these new songs. I re-formatted it last night, and did a re-synch as well....but it still won't play these songs. It skips over them and then goes to the main menu...
HELP!!!I have the same issue. Additionally, I'll select one song to play and the ipod will play another in the same grouping. I switched ipods, restored to factory, synced and the same issue with the same songs. What is going on?

My generation 6 IPOD Nano will not let me put songs on my playlist from the library. A message comes up saying it has to be downloaded from the cloud. I do I bypass this?
If the songs are not in your iTunes library, download them as indicated here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519. Then sync them to your iPod.
