iPod classic skip songs

Hi, looking for tips for my ipod classic, which has about 3 years.

My ipod has recently developed a problem where it jumps randomly songs when I play through a playlist.  When this happens, it moves just from song to song without playing one of them.  To stop it, I turned off my ipod then turn it back on and can, to this day, resume playback.

It doesn't seem to be a problem with specific songs because I can come back and play the songs that he jumped without any problem.

In addition, seems not be connected to how old the song is - it happens for new and old songs like.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

You can try to do a restore on the iPod using iTunes.  There may be data on the iPod storage corruption. This erases the iPod, reinstall its software and sets it to the default settings.  The restore button is on the recapitulation of the iPod settings screen in iTunes.

Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod settings - Apple Support

After the restore, synchronize your songs back as you wish and see if the problem persists.

Another test, you can try (and you can do it before the restoration) is to play the iPod when connected to power.  You can do it with an adapter USB power supply or USB port of the computer (with the iPod is ejected).  If the iPod is connected to the power, and you play, this problem never happens?  This is to see if the iPod running off battery contributes to the problem.

  • Cannot copy songs on ipod classic

    I recently found errors when you synchronize from itunes for my ipod to 6gen classic to my hp Windows 10.  When I connect to the start via USB, I get the message "of problems with the drive, the analysis to solve." then in itunes after initially connected and recognizing the device, I get errors for most / all of the songs with messages of unknown error-50 and -53.  When I select the device via windows Explorer, I get the message "Please insert a disk in (name of my ipod).

    I've performed the manual start and ran smartdata that gives these results:

    I want to avoid the scan to fix the solution unless its my only hope - I had problems with the other USB storage after that

    This ipod is still salvagable?

    See corrupted iPod Classic. Overall stats doesn't seem too bad. A restore DFU or reformatting may be necessary to release the waiting areas. Make sure that Windows 10 is fully updated as some recent versions have raised false alarms that require analysis and difficulty when she is not necessary.

  • iPod classic 80 GB won't charge songs

    Hello

    I'm an Italian boy, and I have an old ipod classic 80 GB, but it is held with care.

    I tried to download songs, about 1000 (I was shure first they were totally less then 60 gb) but it stops at the 800th and my computer (end of 2015) with itunes crashes.

    Do you know if the problem is caused by my computer or the age of the ipod because of the abandoned model?

    Thank you

  • iPod classic used to synchronize all the songs in the library

    I have 414 albums and 3100 songs in my iTunes library on my Windows 7 desktop. Same problem on my laptop Win 8.1.

    When I connect my 106 GB Classic iPOD, songs only 398 appear when I click on 'Musical library of full synchronization.'  Up to 85% of the songs that are on my hard drive in the iTunes folder Media/Music doesn't sync to iPOD Classic.

    Help! It used to work very well for years until last year.

    Choose a song that is currently not sync to the iPod.  In the iTunes window, find it in your iTunes library, make a right click and select information.  In the Info window, go to the file tab.  Next to location, what he says it?  If it shows a file path, you can copy and paste in your next post.  (If your full real name is in the path, please substitute for it).  Who can predict an idea why this song (and others) do not currently synchronizing with the iPod.

  • What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were delete

    What is the order of the removal of the songs to an iPod Classic syncing > somehow my laptop has started the process of synchronization without my knowledge and removed approximately 2,000 songs of my iPod classic.  How can I identify which were deleted songs?  I always manually move files to prevent this.  I'm on Windows 10.

    Has no way to know that...

    If your library iTunes music fits on the storage space of 160 GB of your iPod classic, you just set to automatically sync your entire library of music.  Then, it won't matter which has been removed and which do not get deleted, because your iPod music library is the same as your library iTunes music.  And iTunes it keeps this way, every time your iPod connection (or click sync , if already connected).

    If you don't want "everything" in your iTunes library on your iPod (understandable), you can create a playlist in your iTunes library with all the songs you want on the iPod.  Then, set to automatically synchronize the playlist to iPod.  Instead of manually managing iPod, you manually manage playlist in your iTunes library.  The iPod has no need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected), iTunes will update the iPod with the same changes.  The big advantage is, if something happens like what you describe, or needs to restore iPod (erased) or even if break you your iPod (and get a new), need you a few mouse clicks to solve the problem.  Just set it up to sync the same playlist once again, which exists in your library iTunes (not only on the iPod).

    You can post back for more information about how to use automatic synchronization to do what you want more easily, go ahead.

  • need stop synchronization before finishing to avoid ipod classic remove

    I've updated to itunes version 12.5.1, as well as Windows 10.  If I let my ipod classic finish syncing, everything on the ipod is removed.  So I have to restore the ipod in disk mode so that itunes recognizes the ipod and avoid itunes gel settings.  I found the only way to keep my music is to stop synchronization before it ends or the entire contents of the ipod is removed, and I'll have to go through the process of restoring ipod to factory settings again.  During synchronization, I disable the Windows 10 firewall and anti virus as Apple support told me that it could interfere with itunes.  What is - this with the finishing of sync that removes my ipod?

    It's weird...  Hard drive it is possible to the iPod becomes unreliable and is damaged during the synchronization process.  What happens if you set it up to only synchronize a small number of songs, instead of "all"?  For example, on the settings screen of music from iPod in iTunes, rather than choose to synchronize the entire musical library, choose the option to synchronize playlists, artists, albums, and genres, and select only a SINGLE album.  These songs always get deleted at the end of synchronization?

  • I have a iPod Classic 30 GB. I have a new macbook pro and I managed to put my iPod, but now I can't synchronize my iTunes to iPod. What should I do next?

    iPod Classic does not sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro.

    If "reset" means you did a restore on it (to erase it), after the restoration, the iPod is set by default to use the parameter manually manage music and videos] .  If you expect not to sync automatically, you need to Sync music.

    Connect iPod and to find his button on the device to iTunes.  The screenshot below shows the left upper corner of the window of my iTunes, iPod button circled in red.

    Click this button to display the settings of the iPod summary screen in the iTunes window.  Along the left side, in the sidebar, under settings, click on music.  Parameters of music from the iPod screen to the right.  Check the box to Sync music.

    NOTE: For anyone else reading this, all the songs of the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

    This enables automatic synchronization.  You can choose to synchronize your entire music library or a part of the selection .  Implement this screen as you want, and then click apply to sync iPod.  Further, iTunes automatically keeps iPod "in phase" with the changes in your music library (or the selected part of it), when you connect the iPod (or click sync , if already connected).

    If this isn't the problem, thanks for posting back with additional details about your situation.

  • IPod Classic reeked havoc on my iTunes!  Help!

    Can someone help PLEEEEEAASSSSE?

    I kept my iTunes library on an external hard drive Lacie for recent years.  From time to time I simply opened my iTunes library, music new dump in and re - sync my iPod classic.  A week ago, I did this and got an error during the synchronization.  The iPod is really old, almost complete, but still works.  Nevertheless, I had to stop the sync, restore the iPod and regain sync.  I did it and everything was fine... or so I thought.

    A night or 2 later I went to play a song on my iPod and noticed he wasn't there.  In fact, a very important (and random) part songs were gone from the iPod.   I went into my iTunes library to check and found a large number of songs with the red exclamation points.  I am aware of what that means and has been able to reconnect broken links which gave me about 200 songs which did not work.  The rest seems to be completely DISAPPEARED from my library.  If I go into the files of the album all that remains album files work... NO SONG NO FILES.  I did a spotlight search of title on the HDD for the songs and nothing.  What the * happened?  Miss me him more than 2000 songs.  Very random too.   Some albums have half songs left, a few 1 or 2, some not at all.

    Even weirder, is that if I connect to my iTunes library that sits right on my macbook (which is much smaller, but it shares some of the same songs) on a song/artist will play for that whole part of the alphabet.  For example, the song "Blue Sky" of The Allman Bros plays almost each piece separately in the section "A" of my library.  We go to a Beck song for all the songs of 'B' and so on.  Something bad happened?

    It could be my madness, but I swear yesterday as he tried everything to flow back to the previous libraries to change my main media folder location, which for a second that I did something that made all these songs to work again.  While I had that on the screen, I selected all the good work tracks and thrown on a flash drive to dump if all goes well in to my iTunes corrupt and all library set. I did, and none of the tracks that I've just spilled on the flash drive appeared.  A bunch of other tracks were there, but they were the songs that I didn't need to fix.

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

    HELP PLEASE!

    Since this problem noticing, you have restarted your Mac?

    iTunes, media synchronization is from iTunes library to iPod, so it is unlikely that the iPod "reeked havoc" on your iTunes library.  More likely, there was (existing but undiscovered) on your external drive and sync data corruption caused the problem on the iPod (a week ago).

    Run disk utility, select the disk volume (indented under the player) in the disk utility sidebar.  Click first aid.  You can also do the first aid with the drive selected in the sidebar, but a problem is more likely to be detected by checking the volume in this case.  You can also check the internal drive of the MacBook.

    You use Time Machine to backup your user data?  If this isn't the case, you are using other backup methods, such as cloning?

  • Apple and iPod Classic music please help

    Hello

    I have an iPod classic which I use for a number of speakers, I am owner and you use in my car.

    I am able to download music from Apple's music in my iTunes and then sync with my iPod Classic? This will allow me to use Apple music with my iPod Classic?

    Any input would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Songs downloaded from the Apple music streaming service subscription have DRM (copy protection) which prevents loading on iPod (except iPod touch).  The computer or device must have an Internet connection to check your subscription music from Apple.

  • is it possible to mix a playlist on ipod classic?

    I have several lists in memory on my classic ipod but do not know how to mix songs on a single reading list. When I select it shuffle shuffles all the songs stored on the ipod which is all my mixed together playlists. Am I missing something?

    Hi alex8199,

    Thanks for your question.   If you want to mix all the songs in a single playlist on your iPod Classic, you need to activate Shuffle for songs.   This will be random songs in an album or playlist you choose.

    Do this select Menu > settings > Shuffle.   Press the Center button to toggle your options and choose songs.  Press and hold the Menu button to return to the main menu.

    Now, go to your playlists, choose a playlist and press play.  You should see the shuffle icon in the upper right of your screen, and only the songs in the selected playlist should play.   If you do not take a specific playlist, all the music on your iPod classic will be mixed.

    Alex, take a look at the iPod Classic User Guide for more information.

    Have a great day!

  • IPod classic 5th generation has no audio headphones.

    IPod classic 5th generation has no audio headphones, but it can play songs via computer, when connected to the computer. IPod recognizes when earphones are plugged and hold when deployed switch. Is the likely problem the headphone jack or a material issue of motherboard. I could try a correction to the earphone Jack, but a motherboard problem is a totally different animal. Would appreciate some advice from someone who had had the same problem and solved the problem.

    I guess you've proven the headset with another device. Y at - it no suspicion of audio if you push the plug in one way or another? Who could confirm that it is just the plug that is damaged rather than anything else. The taken switch headphone jack Assembly is relatively cheap. I've done several outings permutation of these two classic battery of 5th and 6th gen. The hardest part is the case open but there are guides online that explain the steps.
