| | This morning I was going to listen to some music, so I got my iPod, turned it on, and it reset (I hadn't had it plugged in for a while). When I got to the music, it would go through half of a song, then skip to the next. After doing this a couple times, it would just skip entire songs. It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more.
Later I looked on the internet for some ideas, so eventually I tried resetting it again, as instructed. This worked for a little bit, but then it started skipping over songs again. I reset again, and it lost all the data, then I reset once more and all the data came back. After that I tried playing some more things, but it kept skipping over parts or whole songs, and came close to freezing a couple times.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening and/or how to fix it? After it lost the data once I've been reluctant to touch it, so it's just sitting there charging. |

try wiping it clean, then putting all the songs back on. Try using different computer, put i-tunes on it, and that should wipe the I-pod clean and just load your ipod back up. What happens is that if the Ipod can't read the song, it stutters, tries to play that part, and sometimes skips songs. try that, or else send it back in.

Yes, try to fix it in an apple center. if you try to repair it by yourself and something goes wrong the guarranty will not pay you anything.

What kind of ipod? Shuffle? mini? I have an ipod mini and it isn't as bad as yours, but one of my songs it starts playing the first 3 seconds of and skips it. That is the only song that it does that on though. It may be because the music files might be corrupt. If they were obtained illegaly that wouldn't be abnormal. Definitely talk to the proffesionals.

It's a regular 20GB. I'm going to try to update/restore it and if that doesn't work I'll take it to an Apple store. I got a big burst of irony this morning when I thought it was working, but then skipped half a song and went to "I Should've Known Better."

My iPod's just started skipping songs at random points through tracks, hasnt done this before and the files arent corrupt or have any imbedded viruses in them, checked all of that, I have a 120gb ipod classic, I think its the HDD, possibly faulty? if not that then faulty OS software on the ipod to **** it up if its been of shuffle too much! it really is pissing me off as I've only had it about a month.
if it carrys on then I'm just taking it back to the apple store,... Or it could just be driving itself insane with the 15000 songs on it atm... Could b a reason... And to the person who said to "get an mp3 player, mines got 500mb" **** that, burn a cd in MP3 format! thats 700 meg alone! how do you expect to fit 90 gig of music on CD... Its a lot of CDs!

My nano is skipping 7 songs...Since I only have about 250 songs on here so far, it is only playing about 30 songs...
I tried reseting it by pushing the menu and middle button but it didn't work.
*If worst comes to worst... I'm going to start my ipod over, then I'll check with the apple store... But if you have any suggestions besides "erasing everything" and "going to the apple store" please feel free to suggest.
Thanks.

How to fix an iPod that skips
My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,
buy a zune. :)
I have an iPod that does the same. I dropped $300 bucks on this P.O.S. And I have to have iTunes to keep track of my music, it can only be repaired and keep the warranty by an iPod repair shop... Just as they have before, Apple is way too proprietary... They didn't learn their lesson the first time.

Does not work
My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,
Restoring and reloading the mp3s from a defragmented computer hard drive DID NOT work. Songs play OK in computer. The program "MP3Checker" is a waste of time. Other files fail but the real songs that fail on ipod pass the check.

Hi there,
I tried what iguest suggested: push the menu and middle buttons together for 7 sec and it worked. My nano which I've had for 3 years and no problems just started to skip every song until it finished!

Apple Ipod Vs. Microsft Mp3 Player
(32) Well first and foremost, I'll say this: I'm an iPod man. I love iPods, I have two of them in

cool stuff. 30GB is quite a bit for an mp3 player, let alone the 60GB version. So there's also
room for not only your music, photos, and videos, but your other files, because you can use it as
sort of like a flash drive. So in short, I can't get enough of my iPods. But recently I heard of
Microsoft coming out with their Mp3 player. Even though not many details have bee....
