    Hello de rock,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do these videos still play okay in iTunes? Are you receiving any error messages about certain items not being able to transfer because they cannot be play on your iPod?
    How do you have your iPod set up to sync? Automatically or manually? Do you also have the "sync all checked songs and videos" option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes? If so, make sure there are tick marks next to each one of your videos in your iTunes library. Then try re-syncing your iPod and see if that helps.

  • Song Doesn't Play On iPod, But Will Play In Itunes

    Hello
    So, i ripped my copy of Disturbed's Asylum to my PC in mp3, the song plays fine in iTunes, but when transferred to my iPod, it will not play if I either select it or pass it on a playlist. The album artwork and information displays fine, but it will just stop at 0 time for a couple seconds, then advance to the next song. Also, the play count increases everytime it runs over the song, so it is capable of writing data to the file.
    I've re-added the song to iTunes and restored my iPod, but neither have worked. Any idea why this happens with just the one song?

    *Skipping songs*
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

    The above relates to songs which have always been a problem. If songs have played fine on the iPod before but don't any longer (and they haven't been updated) then one possible cause is some form of hard drive corruption.
    *Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

    My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

    If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
    If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    The use family sharing to share apps
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
    Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    More details of how:

    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Playlists are on iPod, but nothing plays

    I just bought this ipod a couple of days ago. It worked fine before, but now it's not. I put all of the songs and videos that I wanted on it and it worked until today. The list of songs and videos that I have on the ipod show up on it, but it doesn't play them at all. The space is used up on the ipod, but it acts like nothing is there. Can somebody please help me? This is my first ipod.

    Never mind. I took it to the store and exchanged it for another one.

  • IPOD 80GB Classic not playing all songs but they play in ITUNES

  • Songs are on my iPod but no longer in iTunes

    Hello everyone,
    I just had some computer work done and had to re-install iTunes (the latest version). When I open it up it still shows all the song titles I had before and the correct number of songs. HOWEVER the majority of them won't play. When I try to it says 'file not located - would you like to search for it?' or something along those lines. It seems as though the only files it finds are from cd's I imported and podcasts. Basically I'm missing about 4500 songs, though the titles are there.
    My iPod seemed to sync alright to iTunes and, luckily, all the songs are still on my iPod.
    So here's the question: Is there a way to plug in your iPod and have the song files go INTO iTunes. Like I know they update each other with playlists, play counts etc. I'd really like to recover the songs onto my hard drive.
    I've got windows xp, latest iTunes and an iPod video.
    Sorry this was so long; just wanted to explain it as well as I could.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Tunes disappear from folder - but still play in iTunes???

    I can play songs in iTunes that have disappeared from the iTunes music folder. Maybe I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something, but this has me baffled.
    Here's what's happened: I was looking at my iTunes music folder in Finder. I double-clicked on a song (an mp3 file); iTunes opened and played the song. But when I closed iTunes, the song was missing from the folder!
    I opened iTunes, found the song in the library, and played it again. I did a 'Get Info' in iTunes and it still shows the song as being in my music folder.
    I used spotlight to search for the song name, and it, too, shows the song as being in the iTunes music folder.
    But it still doesn't show up when I open the folder in Finder.
    Worried that something was going wrong with the file structure, I did a clean install of the OS (10.4.11) and upgraded to the latest iTunes (7.5).
    Since then, I've replicated the process with two other songs.
    Any ideas?

    All of the PDF documents on my iPad disappeared. This seems to be a problem that a number of people have experienced, although a clearly documented solution does not appear to be readily available.
    This issue can be resolved by deleting all the PDF documents in the iTunes library. Copying the PDF documents back to the iTunes library and then syncing the iPad will allow the missing documents to reappear back in the collections into which they were filed.
    It is a good idea to make sure that you have a complete backup of all of the PDF documents in the library before deleting them.

  • My 5th gen ipod will not play in itunes

    I have updated my ipod and downloaded the most current itunes software.  I can see all of my songs and playlist but they will not play when selected.

    I ran into similar problem. This what worked:
    OS: XP (itunes 7.5), iPod - classic
    1. Backup itunes.
    2. Uninstall itunes.
    3. Reboot PC
    4. Reinstall itunes.
    5. Reboot PC
    6. Restore itunes from the Backup (it seems this is not necessary, but these are the steps I did)
    7. Restore ipod
    After the above steps - the songs that were skipped earlier play.
    Hope that helps.

  • Songs not showing on 30gig iPod, but are showing on iTunes when attached

    Hello. My iPod has about 5.25 gig of music, video and podcasts loaded. It was working fine. I connected it to my computer to charge and the next time I tried to use it, nothing is showing up on the iPod itself. However, when I reconnect it to my computer, the iPod shows up under Source and all of the playlists and songs are there. Also, when I go into Settings > About, it says Songs 0, Videos 0, Photos 0, Capacity 27.8 GB, Available 22.5 GB, Version 1.1.1, model MA146LL. Thanks for any help!
    iPod 30gig Video   Windows XP Pro  

    That backup only works if you have the files on the computer not on the ipod. You have the ability to take all the data off of your ipod but it will duplicate everything that is already in the library. To do this follow these steps:
    This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
    The only thing that I would tell you is that this will duplicate all the songs in your library. So I would clear your entire library before you start this process
