3rd generation nano hates certain songs!

I am sure that this question has been posted before but - here it goes. It seems that my 3rd generation nano randomly stops playing musical tracks for no apparent reason. A song will be playing and before the song is over nano stops the tack and proceeds to the next. Whether I am shuffling songs, playing an album - whatever, it just randomly cuts a track short.
I have tried restoring it to no avail.
Any wisdom or advice out there???
Thanks so much!

The songs were purchased from iTunes therefore I do not believe that they are corrupt. May I ask how a song can be corrupted?
I am assuming that a visit to the Genius Bar is order, correct???

Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS. Sorry about that!
That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation. I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere. It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home. I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider.
So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers. I have experienced this on AT&T. Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

Hi, does anyone know if I buy a 7th generation nano off ebay, will it be covered under the one year warranty even though I wont have a reciept?

Hi, does anyone know if I buy a new 7th generation nano off ebay, will it be covered by the one year Apple guarantee even though I wont have a reciept? I.e using the serial number.

Yes. It will stil be covered and all you need is the serial number.

My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File. For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

Is the 7th generation Nano capable of playing podcast's continuously?

Just purchased the 7th Generation Nano and have discovered it will only play one podcast at a time and not go to the next one in the order automatically. After doing research, I have learned that I can get it to play all the podcast in order only after I have created playlists, this seems to be a bit akward. Is this the only option there is? I read on this forum where someone was having just the opposit issue, their Nano was playing all the podcasts one after the other without having to do it manually.

I am super intrigued by your question!
I have an ipod nano 7th gen and I can not play only one podcast at a time no matter how hard I try.
Searching the internet for information only finds people with the exact opposite problem of yours: everybody seem to only be able to play them continuously. That is what happens to me as well.
How are you able to play 1 podcast episode and have it stop right there when it ends?
I search every couple weeks to see if someone found the way but nothing ever comes up: your comment is the closest I have ever found. I would love to know how you do it.
Thank you!

My ipod crashed or skips when playing certain songs

Whenever I use itunes I can play all of my songs, however when I use my ipod nano 5th generation I am unable to play certain songs. When I try to play these songs my ipod either skips over the song or crashes. Both my ipod and itunes are up to date. I have tried doing a restore. I have tried taking off all the songs and reloading them (this just causes a different set of songs to become unplayable). I have also checked all my music files for corruption with software from CNET(they are all fine).
The most common response I've seen to problems similar to mine is this...

Nothing on that page works.
Please help, Thanks.

It's hard to say what cause of error is in particular, without a bit of troubleshooting. Where were these problem tracks downloaded from?
Have you tried all of the troubleshooting here?
Troubleshooting songs that skip on iP
Again, I"m not really all of this troubleshooting is worth it since as you stated the problem is only apparent on the older iPod Video, which would point to an issue with that device. You could try and do a disk diagnostic on it to see if there is anything in particular that stands out there. See this post from another forum member turingtest2 describing how to perform this test and what the numbers mean.

Apple doesn't have a trade in policy, but they do have a recyling program where you can bring your old iPod into be recycled for a 10% discoun towards the purchase of a new one.

7th Generation Nano Water Damage Issues....

I had an early generation Nano that I ran with 5 times a week for 3-4 years. Never had any water damage issues. That Nano was lost with luggage and I made the move to the new 7th Generation nano.
Ran on the same schedule and after 4 months had water damage issues. Has anyone come across water susceptibility issues with the newer generation models? I am concerned about investing more money into devices through Apple if they are just going to get water damaged easily.
I was suprised when support said Nanos are not designed for high intensity working out (like running) - though they have a deal with Nike fitness. Anyone have any suggestions on a smaller MP3 player that can hold up to sweating?

Hi,
I seem to have the same problem with my (quite expensive) shure in-ear headphones. Every time I touch the (firmly inserted) headphone-plug or lock the screen, the ipod stops playing. It seems to work fine with the apple-headphones but they sound awfull compared to them... :/
This really ***** and makes this thing pretty much useless for me since I am using it for working out and this is bound to happen alot.
Were you able to solve your problem and if yes how?

7th generation nano ipod turns on automatically

My 7th generation nano turns on automatically? Anybody know why?

I'm sure its something simple.
You probably have an alarm set in your calendar.

Shuffle by Album on 7th generation Nano

My old 3rd generation Nano included a "Shuffle by Album" feature which chose a random album, played track 1 through the last track, then chose another random album, and so on. I like this feature because it allows me to listen to music continuously while cycling rather than stopping to choose a new album when the current album completes.
I just bought a 7th generation Nano and have been unable to find the "Shuffle by Album" feature. Does it exist in this version? If so, how do I turn on "Shuffle by Album"?

Have the exact same problem on my nano g6.
from older posts: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2573122, It seems like Apple had "Shuffle by album" function removed.

Please Help, iTunes has taken my right to play certain songs

Please Help, iTunes has taken my right to play certain songs.
These were free songs with coco-cola codes some time ago.
Now in Mtn Lion it has took the playing rights from me and locked them off!
Anybodys help on this subject is much appreciated...

Yes it worked,
Right-click in it > Show in Finder. Finally, right-click in that file > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions. See if you have got read permission,
Clicked through the Get Info > Sharing & Permissions and when I closed the window the song played again.
Not sure why but it worked for me!

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit only works with older nanos with the 30 pin connector. What kit or what accessory do I need to utilize the Nike ipod sport kit fuctionality?

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector. Not sure if the kit will work. What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano? Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?

Hey SeanW89,
Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:

Connect to Bluetooth accessories
You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks,
Matt M.
