TWO ipods that are skipping songs

I am yet to read a definitive answer to this problem:
you all know it:
my fiancees fifth gen ipod is skipping parts or entire songs... She did not have this problem on the third gen ipod.
she ALSO has an ipod shuffle... the songs are now doing the same thing on the shuffle...
I am not sure how the files could have become corrupted spontaneously..
we are running the latest versions of itunes and the latest software on the ipod.
will try restoring both ipods do anything?
how about reinstalling itunes? maybe something happened when it tried the catalog the music??
what are your thoughts?

Well there is no garentee but I would try to restore both iPods with the 2005-10-12 updater...
That seems to work about 75% of the time...
if not then:
Format the iPod using your computer then restore
If that does not work then maybe they need serviced

I have two ipods that cannot sync to my macbook because i had to replace the hard drive in the mac. the ipods say they are synced to another itunes library and can't be synced with my new itunes account. help!

i have two ipods that are synced to my previous itunes account that was on my macbook before the hard drive crashed. i can't sync with the new itunes on the new hard drive - help!

Why did you start a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer to your new hard drive.
Ipod will sync to one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the ipod.

TS3217 When I try to skip one song on my ipone, it skips through several. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone if I go into my itunes and select that song. So this tells me that the song can be played, therefore, it is not the song.

When I try to skip through a song on my iPhone, it skips through several songs. The songs that are skipped can be played on the same iphone (when I go into to itunes library on my phone), so I know that it's not the song. I have the latest softeware downloaded on both my iphone and itunes. In fact, this only recently started occuring when I reconnected my iphone to my laptop about a month ago to install the new updates on itunes.
I also have an itouch and an ipod, both of which have been updated at the same time as my iphone and they do not skip through songs.

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.

Ipod video is skipping songs

Hi there!
I have had my ipod video for months now. Previously, I could choose "shuffle songs" from the main menu and just listen to my 3,000+ songs in random order.
I rebuilt my computer a month or so ago, and reinstalled the ipod software and itunes. When I did so, I had to completely re-synch all the stuff in my itunes with my ipod.
And the phenomenon I'm experiencing now is that when I do "shuffle songs," it skips songs. It will show the artist and title for a second, then show another artist and title for a second, then finally play the third song. (it's not always the third song--it's random). I have tried going to the song that was skipped directly through the artist's folder, but it still won't play. On my desktop computer (windows, by the way), I can go to that song, and it plays fine.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your help...

I had to completely start over with all my itunes stuff when my computer crashed a few months ago and that's pretty much like what you've had to do with your computer. The same thing happended to me, a lot of the songs started top skip over - there's two reasons for this(there could be more, but these are the two that I know of!)Firstly - do all your songs play in yout itunes libery??? If the songs that are skipping over don't play, the computer can't locate them(this is probably because you've had to re-build your computer - this can cause itunes to become confuesd as to the location of the songs - make sure your libery has the correct destination for all your music) and thus they won't play in the ipod.
And Secondly, If they do still play in itunes it sounds like you may have a hardware problem - that's what I had.I had to get a brand new one as a result!) The best way to try and fix this is to completely restore the ipod so that it's back to the original settings and then sync the ipod again.
That should fix your problem. If you end up having no luck with that chances are the problem really is your ipod(the hardware) and I'd send it back to be replaced. Hope this hepls you in some way!

IPod Classic 80GB Skipping songs

Hello there,
I am facing a trouble with my iPod, there are some songs that it keeps skipping, see, it starts playing the song, and every time at the same second of the music, it just skips the song and goes to the next one of the list.
It doesn't happen with all songs, it happens only with the SAME files, and I can say that these files are NOT corrupted, cause they play normaly on my pc AND, if I press and hold the forward key on the iPod to pass through the moment that the song is skipped, it plays the rest of the song without any problem, so, it happens only in an exact spot of the file, does anyone knows what's happening?
Hope you've understood me, my english is not so good.
Thanks for helping.

I have the same problem on my ipod 80gb classic that I purchased recently. It is VERY annoying that many files have this skipping problem on the ipod but play perfectly fine on my other mp3 players (creative/sansa etc) and on itunes...
The problem is, there is no way to know in advance which songs in your collection (huge) will skip. When I had been to the local apple store for help, they suggested that one possibility is for me to re-encode all my 80gb of music, how wonderful?? And they also started trying to give vague justifications like DRM protection issues that can cause this...asking me to reinstall itunes quick time etc...crap.
Added to this is the scroll wheel which is not so responsive...
I had some respect for apple products, and used to have the opinion they do a few (only) things but do it perfectly... but that feeling is gone, big disappointment.

Cannot compile two classes that are on same package

When I compile two classes that are on same package one class that is independent of other class gets compiled but the other class which uses
the first one shows cannot find symbol error with the first class name

try...
javac *.java
that should compile all the java files in that folder at the same time. I dont know if that will fix your problem but it is worth a shot.
