Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

Why does my iPod Classic keep trying to sync items from my iTunes library that are no longer there?

I have an iPod classic, 160GB model, that keeps trying to sync items that are no longer in my iTunes library, is there a way to stop it from doing this? My iTunes library is on my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB.

Clarification needed
Does your iPod clears your iTunes library or the music in the iPod itself disappears, when your sync the iPod?

Why does my ipod classic keep freezing my itunes account

so i have had my ipod classic for a few years not and i love it. but lately i cannot plug it into itunes without it freezing my itunes all up. i have tried resetting it, ive re downloaded itunes and everything i try doesnt work. i dont know what to do. i really dont want to have to go buy a new one.

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Why does my iPod Classic keep connecting THEN disconnecting immediately?

Here's the deal, I bought my iPod Classic used, and is the 160GB version in "space gray".
I connect my iPod Classic, and immediately it disconnects itself right away(!!). I would have searched a question, but let's face it, all the other info is now out-dated. So please, help!

Why does my ipod touch keep pausing itself?

While listening to my first generation ipod touch, it will just pause itself. Whether using headphones, auxillary jack, or skull candy speakers which connect through the charging port on the ipod. REALLY ANNOYING!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does my ipod nano keep pausing about 10's seconds into a song

when my ipod nano 8Gb is plugged into my computer works fine. but when i unplug it it plays for abt 10=20 seconds and then it pauses..very annoying. anyone know how to fix before i throw it against a wall?

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

NEW ipod Classic keeps pausing

My iPod classic keeps pausing randomly, every 1-4 minutes. It happens in my car when it's plugged into the auxillary jack and when I use headphones. When I am listening with headphones, it sits flat on my desk and doesn't move at all and it still pauses.

It may be related to the data "caching" used by iPods with a hard drive for storage. This caching (pre-loading upcoming song data into memory) allows the iPod to play continuously, even if movement and vibration cause access to the iPod's hard drive to NOT be continuous. However, if the iPod is stationary on a desk, this should not happen.
If you have not already, Reset (restart) the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes. The cause may be data corruption on the iPod's storage. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. After the Restore, sync your songs as before, and see of this problem still recurs.
It's also possible that the iPod's hard drive is faulty, and that is why the iPod is having problems accessing the song data (which causes these pauses). If the Restore does not resolve this problem, you should have it looked at under warranty. If there is a conveniently located Apple Store, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar. OR, if possible, return it for a full refund and get another one.

Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please

why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please

All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while. Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent. Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

HT1320 why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

It's not a "fix," actually. If that is a 4th gen iPod connected using USB, you need to do what it says and plug it in to the white square power adapter that originally came with those models. Later Apple power adapters should work; third-party adapters may or may not work. It has something to do with voltage. The USB connection to computer does not provide the required voltage (although it's obviously fine for normal syncing and charging).
If that iPod is connected to a FireWire port, it apparently provides the required voltage, because that step does not come up during the Restore. That model was a transition between iPod connecting to FireWire and connecting to USB. Earlier models required FireWire. Later models only used USB.
If you don't have an adapter, and there is an Apple Store nearby, I guess you could take it to the store's Genius Bar. I'm sure they have a power adapter there, to complete the Restore. (Just don't let them re-do the Restore on a Mac, if you use a Windows PC. Different storage formatting.)

Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

Why does my ipod classic shut off unexpectedly

Why does my ipod classic (80 gb) shut off unexpectedly? This happens often and more so when the earphone (any earphone) moves. The only time it does not shut off is when my ipod is lying flat on a table.

Hey madelinefrommiami,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue if moving the earphone shuts off the iPod. A frustrating situation for sure. Take a look at this page for information on available service options.
