Why is my iPod skipping and not holding a time?

I have a 4G 40GB clickwheel. It has recently begun skipping briefly every minute or so when playing any songs. I'm sure it's not the songs.
It also will no longer hold the time when I set the clock. It keeps reverting to 12 a.m. Jan. 1, 2002.
I have recently been using an iHome to charge it. The skipping happens regardless of whether I am listening via the iHome or headphones.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

You may want to try a restore.

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....

  • After syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable

    after syncing my music onto my iphone5, why are songs grayed out and not playable?

    If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to drag and drop tracks on to the iPhone and the music will be grayed out.
    You'll have to Manually Manage the music.
    Configure iPhone, iPad, or iPod for manual management
    If you have iTunes 7 or later*, follow these instructions:
    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
    Click Apply.
    Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

  • IPod skips and pauses after update

    After updating to the most recent software my iPod Photo (20GB) started acting up.
    * I can't automatically update my playlists (Error Message: "This iPod can not be copied to" appears after about a third of the songs have been successfully updated). I can then manually copy the rest of them one by one. Tedious!
    * iPod skips and freezes on certain songs
    * Resetting, restoring, re-installing software (iPod and iTunes) does not take care of the problem
    * Songs play beautifully in iTunes and on my other iPod (nano)
    Please help.

    I'm afraid I won't be any help to you, but I DO HOPE someone can enlighten us. I am also having this problem and I have just now exchanged my Nano for the second time because of this loose connection. I suspected the earphones immediately. If I lay the iPod on a flat surface 2 feet behind me without arm/hand interferance and sit like a statue without blinking or breaking a smile, I'm good. But once I breath the earphones disconnect. Would I be soo dumb to think it was because I got the Nano Silver instead of the Green? One friend has a Green and the other has Red. They both have "snap in" solid connections. I'm on my third set of earphones and second car transmitter. NOT making any difference. Someone please....do I keep exchanging this thing until I find a "snappy" earphone hole?

    Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.
