Why are my songs skipping???

I downloaded an album from iTunes and they play on the computer but when i copy them to the iPod they just skip through until the end...

Hello, Jon, and welcome to the Discussions.
Have you updated your iPod with the latest software? Note that I'm referring to the software (firmware) on the iPod itself, not your version of iTunes.
Even if you have updated your iPod, it might be worth doing a Restore (use the newest updater) and reloading all your tracks. That sometimes fixes the problem.
Hope this helps.
BTW: Since you're new to the Discussions, here are some general tips for getting the most from the forums:
- For future question posts, please fill in the Apple ID Preferences in your Discussions Profile with complete information about your system (exact model, RAM, hard drive space, OS and level, etc.). Then be sure to check the Show information about your computer box below the text input field when you create a message. If you have more than one type of system, include the same information as appropriate to the system you're asking about in the body of your post. By providing complete information on your system, others will be better equipped to help you resolve problems.
- Please be sure to read the forum FAQs and do a search for your topic both in the KnowledgeBase and in the Discussions forums (try at least a couple of different keywords) to see if your question has already been addressed before you post a new question. It may save you waiting time, and will help keep the forums from getting cluttered with redundant posts.

  • Why do my songs skip to the next song mid way through the song?

    why do my songs skip to the next song mid way through the song?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Hi,
    In advance preferences, you can tell iTunes how to organise your library. Tick  keep iTunes organised and copy files to iTunes media folder.
    If this I has already been done, you may need to add track numbers from get info.

  • Why are the songs in my iphone playlists grey and I can't move them.

    Why are the songs in my iPhone playlists grayed out.  I am unable to move and organize them.  I just downloaded some audio books from Audible and I cannot moved them to a playlist on my iPhone either.  What step am I missing?

    So, if I haven't made any albums, I can't move pictures in the main window of the Organizer?
    Yes, you can't. The default order in the main window is based on date, ascending or descending when you are in the standard 'thumbnail view'. If you are in 'folder' view, with your folders shown in the left panel, you are shown the pictures in alphabetical order of the file names.
    I haven't created albums yet.
    I have so many pictures. I wanted to put all the pictures for each album next to each other so I can find them easily.
    It's not difficult to create albums and 'drag' pictures in it. When an album is selected, you can move your pictures around in any order in the main window panel.
    Albums are one way of grouping and ordering pictures. You should try to use keywords to organize and retrieve your pictures.

  • Why are the songs downloaded from my computer grayed out and won't play?

    Why are the songs that I downloaded from my pc not playing on my iphone and grayed out?

    Hi sweatt,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You may find these steps helpful for resolving the issue you're encountering:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4054
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) may not appear, or may appear grayed out in iCloud. This can occur if your computer is not authorized for playback of that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
    To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for, locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    Best,

  • Why are the songs in my itunes library playing at slow speeds?

    Why are the songs in my library playing at slower speeds? They sound likean old casette player with rundown batteries?

    What are your hardware specs?
    OS, version of iTunes, etc....
    Is this on a computer or iOS device?
    iPods can change the playback speeds, but in iTunes on desktop/laptop, it could be caused by other programs.

  • Why are some songs in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format

    Why are some songs I've purchased in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format?

    iTunes store used to sell its music that way several years ago, but then removed DRM protection as a standard format I think 2 years ago.  How long ago did you make the purchase?  I don't think they still use it on any audio now, but it is definitely used on video.

  • Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

    Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
    the songs are in the library

    I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0.  I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad.  I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

  • Why are the songs I've deleted off my Ipod grayed out?

    I've deleted the songs manually off my ipod, as there is an option to do so. However, when I click into my songs on the Ipod, there are the songs that I had already deleted and are grayed out. They won't play-because I've deleted them. I've gone as far as deleting them off my Itunes and computer all together. The grayed out songs are still there and will not go away! Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

    Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

  • Why are certain songs being transferred over to my laptop over and over again through Homesharing even though they are already in my new library?

    So I recently bought a new Windows laptop and tried using homesharing to transfer my songs from my computer, but I got really frustrated and confused. Certain songs keep being transferred through homesharing to my new library even though I already have a copy of the song in the library. I checked to see if I had the actual file in my media folder and it was there, so why do the songs keep being copied? And, if possible, can someone also explain how to transfer playlists? I know Apple said to export/import playlist but what does that mean?

    Yup, same issue.
    Playlist - Right-click on the playlist and select export, it will create a .txt file.
    On the other computer File/Library/Import Playlist, select the txt.file.
    Or, just select the Playlist in homeshare and select it and hit import.
    For some reason when you select "Items not in my library" it is does not show files correctly, if you purchased it in iTunes, they show correctly, or if you loaded them, they don't.

  • Why are my songs missing from my playlists using match? How can I fix it?

    On my mac mini, iTunes shows my playlists as expected.  It also shows the iCloud icon (also expected). However, when I use my iPhone to try to sync/download a few of the playlists, there are no songs in them.  I even tried adding songs AFTER I finished the iTunes Match and only one of the eight songs showed up in the playlist on the iPhone, even though all eight had successfully been loaded to iCloud through iTunes Match.  Any ideas / suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I think I am having the same issue. I had a number of songs on my phone. I signed up for Match, and switched over my iphone library to Match in settings. Everything was fine, all of my playlists synched to itunes.
    I then decided to free up space by deleting all of the previously stored songs from my phone. After I did this, all of the songs that were once on the phone vanished (rather than appearing with a cloud symbol). All of the songs that were in the cloud prior to the delete are still there, but none of the songs deleted from the IOS device are there.
    Everything looks fine in itunes.
