Why is my Ipod shuffle acting strange?

Ever since I put certain songs on my Ipod Shuffle, it has acted strangely with those somgs. For example, when I try to skip one of the songs, it instead goes back to the beginning. The same thing can be said for going back in the song list. Sometimes, after doing it fast enough, it changes the VoiceOver language for no reason from English to a language I can't identify. This is even wierder when the song title is in English. Some of the songs I added are not llayed at all, or when I play a voiceover of one of the songs, then go back to hear the name of it again, it says a different title. This happens only with these songs, which is about 8 sings, but the Ipod only plays 5 or 6, and it says one title one second, and another title the next. Is it the audio files? I have erased all of the music, then re-synced it, but it did not help. This problem is very complicated and strange. Also, this all happens when the songs are in order, as I do not listen to music when it is shuffled.

Puede que se haya averiado. Llévalo a tu centro Apple más cercano. A lo mejor es problema de las canciones. Prueba formatearlo y luego meter otras canciones. Si pasa lo mismo será mejor hacer lo que te he comentado antes. Espero ayudarte y suerte con tu problema.

PD. ¿Eres español? Por favor vótame soy nuevo en esto y tengo muchos cocnocimientos pero la gente no me responde. Gracias y otro saludo.

Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
Details -
4th Generation
I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
(e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
881 MB are still left
Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

A few possibilities... (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
(1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
(2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging. Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
(3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
(4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle. Does it change from a power adapter?
(5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing). If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge. To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging? If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen. There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use. If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply. Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge). If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use. NOTE: When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

Why wont my ipod shuffle charge?

I have had my ipod shuffle for awhile now,.,,, Now i have it on the charger and the charger in my pc but it wont show up on itunes! It is on the dock and the charger is hooked in the pc all the way but it wont charge!!!!!! IM DYING WITHOUT MY IPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and type the following the command verbatim (or copy and paste it).
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
You will be prompted for your admin password. Go ahead and enter it. Then reboot your Mac and delete a few files to see if they now to go the trash first instead. Just be sure it's nothing too important.

Why is my ipod shuffle pausing my music when the screen times outs?

My Ipod shuffle is pausing whenever the screen times out...please help.

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

Why is my iPod Shuffle(2nd Gen) constantly deleting songs by itself? And how do I stop it?

I have an iPod Shuffle, 2nd generation, and it keeps deleting all the songs in it. After putting songs in it, again, I never sync it to my computer to avoid any problems. I don't have any podcast tracks to avoid any problems, because I've read that sometimes the iPod gets confused or a conflict happens and it erases everything. If the iPod stops working cause the battery is depleted, it shuts off but also deletes anything in it. Whats the problem and how do avoid this problem other than keeping it charge? I think, if I ever charge the thing from a wall charger, it will delete the songs again.

There may be data corruption on the iPod's storage. You should probably try doing a Restore using iTunes. When you connect the shuffle, the button for Restore is on the iPod's Settings screen in iTunes.
The Restore will erase the iPod and reinstall its software, with default settings. If data corruption is the cause, the Restore should fix it.

Help!! iPod is acting strange!

Hi,
I have had this problem start about three days ago (Jan. 25th). When I turned off my iPod for my French class, it did. But then later, I hear some loud music coming from somewhere. I look around, and its not from anyone. I glance down, and my iPod is on! My headphones are blasting the music, and I remove it from my belt clip to turn it off. Strange. It's playing a different playlist from when I turned it off, 3 minutes ago! I was playing some pop, and now its playing rap! I turn it off, and the day goes.
The next day, I leave my iPod on my table while I do some chatting on MSN. Suddenly, I hear whirl of a hard drive. It's not my computer, it sounds like something from an iPod...I look over, and its on! It already played through 6 songs on my rap playlist and was to re-load its cache, on its 7th song. I turn it off, and nothing happens later on.
The very next day, I come from my kitchen after having some pizza for lunch, lean down and turn my computer on. I suddenly hear a whirl of hard drive, the same sound. I look to my iPod, and its on its 7th song, about to re-load its cache, agian. It's playing a different set of songs, and the same playlist as yesterday, but different songs. It looks as if it re-loaded the same rap playlist and started playing it, in diffrent orders. (I have shuffle songs on) It used up about half of battery capacity since 3 days ago, and I'm afraid that it will turn on at middle of night or in middle of a class and drain the battery. Anyone have solution?

This happened to me and turned on during R.E class! It doesn't happen that often though. Perhaps take out the earphones after turning it off to prevent it playing but i'm not sure about the battery sorry.

Ipod Touch acting strange

My ipod touch is acting really strange. Several things are happening, but I think they are connected somehow because they all started at the same time. First, when watching movies the screen expands and contracts. It's really distracting. Second, when listening to music or audio books, the display screen (with the song, play/stop/fwd/rwd) reverts back to the playlist screen. If I want to fwd to the next song, I have to hit "now playing" to get back to the screen with the song on it. Third, If I am scrolling down my songs, the screen will automatically shoot back up to the top of the list (the A's, for example)without me even touching it, and before I actually have time to make a selection. Has anyone else had these problems? I can't find any information on it. I have tried cleaning my screen and "restoring" my Ipod....both by hitting the two buttons on the touch and while synced to Itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My advice would be to just go into an Apple Store and get it checked out with all these problems. If you don't have a store near you, you should arrange a call with an expert on the Apple website. Go to the support page, go to the bottom and select 'Contact Us'. Then choose what you want to do.

Why does my ipod shuffle when I don't want it to?

When I play a playlist, my iPod nano sometimes shuffles songs even when I try to play songs in order. How can I stop this from happening?

Go to the now playing window. Then deselect the shuffle icon

HT1369 why wont my ipod shuffle sync with my laptop

Help!

You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1. What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
After you get it updated see if syncs.

My iPod is acting strange. It keeps shutting down every time I try to edit a photo! What's wrong?

Every time I try to edit one of my photos on my iPod touch it shuts down!

There is a bug in iOS 5.1.1. You have to wait for an update (if you have a 4G). If yo have a 3G iPod there may be no further updates.

Why is my virtual keyboard acting strangely?

My newest issue is that the virtual keyboard now pops up with nearly all "finger motions " that scrolls the display. THIS is really irritating, and time consuming! Previousl, the keyboard when you tapped into a text box.

I think that stedman's suggestions will probably work for you, but if it doesn't, the next thing that I would try is to reset all settings. No data is lost with this either, but all of the device settings have to be entered again.
