Why won't a few songs play on my 7th generation ipod nano?

They do play on my itunes,but I wanted to listen to them on my ipod and they look like they want to play,but they skip to the next song before it would even start.I've tried it many times,but they will not play on my ipod at all.Any helpful advice?

I would to a Restore.  Select the iPod in iTunes.  Go to the Summary tab for the iPod.  There is a button there to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod.  All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

  • Why won't the full song play?

    why won't the full song play? It plays the first 11 seconds on EVERY device then skips to the next song. It's Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode

    Hi bsiria,
    If you are having an issue with one or more songs not playing completely, you may want to troubleshoot this by using the steps in this arcticle -

    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.

  • TS1717 Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

    I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
    1- games
    2- voice memo

    1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
    2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
    3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld

  • Why won't the whole song play that I just purchased from iTunes?

    I just purchased 23 new songs from the iTunes store. There are quite a few of them that will not play the entire song before moving to the next song. For example, the one song reads that it is 3:24 long yet it will only play for the first 1:11. It then switches to the next song in the playlist no matter what I do. What is wrong???

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Why won't my 2010 MacBook Pro recognizing my 1st generation iPod Shuffle?

    My 2010 13" MacBook Pro does not recognize my 1st generation iPod Shuffle. Do I need software? Is there anywhere I can go to download it?

    Hi all -
    I cannot view my flash drive OR my office server, which I should be able to connect to via VPN. VPN was installed on my Macbook Pro at my office on Friday. It worked fine. Now I bring it home, and I connect using VPN, and it shows that I am connected, yet the server hard drive icon does not appear on my desktop (as it usually did) and I can't see how to access the server at work.
    I also cannot view flash drives when I plug them in - they just don't show up.
    I had Norton installed; I read online I should disable that. I did this, and no luck. I also have already done all the things suggested on this post and have all the boxes checked, and yet, still cannot use a flash drive or access my work server.
    I am stuck? Do I have to bring my Macbook pro in for service? I have NOT upgraded to Mavericks.
    Thanks for any help.
    I am not that well versed in finding my way around a Mac - so keep any explanations simple, please.

  • 7th generation iPod nano flashes apple logo with a white screen and won't play.  What is wrong with it?

    I have a 7th Generation iPod Nano that started flashing the Apple logo with a white background.  I have tried Diagnostics, restoring the iPod and even resetting it.  At one point it was in a Restore Loop.  I'm thinking maybe it has a virus but reading further says that I may be missing one of the drivers.  Is there any way to fix it without taking into a tech?? Please help...miss my music!!

    Hi jkjuarez2012,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
    Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

  • Why is my 7th Generation Ipod Nano not placing music in the same album?

    But to be more specific.
    Let's say I've bought a music album from iTunes.
    All the music is in the same album.
    But there is this other song I've downloaded and I want to put it on that same album.
    On my ipod, for some reason, they are on separate albums.
    And yes, I've put ALL songs under the same album name.
    (I know this isn't a big deal but I'd like to shuffle the album with all the songs together.)

    Hi TheBigWhiteGun,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Even if the album name in the same, if the artist or "album artist" is different, it still might not show under the same album.
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
    There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
    The album names of the songs may differ slightly
    The songs from the same album may have different artists
    Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
    See if that works for you.
    Best Regards,

  • Apple mobile device USB Driver won't install (Code 37) on my 7th Generation iPod Nano

    As a result, iTunes won't detect my iPod. But the iPod will charge when I plug it in to my comp, and there is an iPod folder in "My Computer". But after installing iTunes, it no longer says “connected” on the iPod (even though it still charges it). And, in Device manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark that appears in the DVD/CD-ROM drive directly after installing iTunes – there is also a yellow mark next to “Apple mobile device USB Driver” when my iPod is plugged in. For both, it says “Code 37.” I know how to fix the DVD/CD-ROM drive problem (by deleting the filters) but the Apple driver still won't install after that. I've tried troubling shooting this. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but it hasn't made a difference. And I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, too, and every time I reinstall iTunes the same thing happens: my iPod no longer says “connected on the screen,” and the  DVD/CD-ROM drive gets code 37 again. Also, I tried different USB cables/ports.
    Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I think I've already read a lot of troubleshooting guides on this site, but haven't had any success so far.

    Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by “leaving all other USB devices disconnected”? Does that include my mouse, keyboard, etc? And does that mean I uninstall those things in the device manager?

  • 7th generation ipod nano won't turn on

    So this is what I was doing before my ipod went black: I was listening to a podcast, then paused it and turned it off. The next day, I went to go turn it on. However, I pressed the home button accidently and it was already on, and playing some music/podcast. I don't know what it was because after that, the screen immediately went black. I tried to turn it on but it didn't do anything. So, I charged it for about 2 hours. I pressed the hold button to turn it on again, but it wouldn't do anything. It doesn't turn on. I just got it like a week ago. Also, when I plug it in to my laptop or desktop, a message pops up saying that it is not recognized. Any help is appreciated!

    I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • 7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

    7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello Marie,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on.  I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
    All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset.  To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
    I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:

  • Skippings songs on 7th generation iPod

    Hi there.  Recently purchased a 7th generation iPod Nano along with a dock.  While playing on the dock, songs would skip periodically.  I exchanged the iPod & dock but songs are still continuing to skip.  When I play the songs on my computer, there is no skipping. 

    No, there is no hold button or function on the 7th gen.
    (Resetting is done by pressing the wake/sleep and home button for 6 seconds).
