When I go to play my music, it shows the song, but just skips to the next song and goes through the entire playlist. WTF!!!! I just lost all my music when my computer crashed (I had just got an external hard drive to back it all up, but hadn't done it yet) and now this. I feel like throwing up.
These same songs play(ed) on your computer? Usually when I have a bad song on my iPod, it came from a bad file on my computer... I have to re-burn the CD.
Not really. I've been having to use my girlfriend's computer since mine crashed last week and it was working fine. Last night I downloaded some podcasts and those worked fine. After listening to those, I wanted to listen to some music and they're all like that.
yeeeesh! I have no clue, man. sorry. Did you try removing the songs from your iPod and reloading them back on?
Damn you, halfbreed. I was about to recommend that. It's like a Ctrl+Alt+Del for your iPod. Do it and check back. But maybe I shouldn't advise anything, since you want to paper my house... huh? huh?
This happened to me before too - it means the files that indicate you are allowed to play these copy-protected files have been accidentally deleted. You will need to redownload Itunes and then reboot your Ipod. You'll then have to move your entire Itunes queue back into the Ipod. Give their customer service a call and explain what happened.
Depending on the iPod, there are different methods to reboot. One way that works on my classic and my wife's Nana is to flip the "hold" key to hold and back and then press the "menu" and center key simultaneoulsy until it reboots. Other iPods are documented on the Apple web site.
its Apple's way of telling you that your iPod is already 3 months old, and there are newer models available for purchase
OOOo! Ooooo! Can I take this one, please, guys?!?! Thanks! : Elaine and Jerry are at Jerry's apartment. Elaine: And now I think she might really be interested in you. And Dan is obsessed, he keeps leaving these annoying messages on my machine. The phone rings. Jerry: Would you? Elaine (answering): Hello? Nana: Hello, I need to speak to Jerry. Elaine (thinking it's Dan): Oh, it's you. We were just talking about you. Listen, Jerry doesn't want to talk to you. Nobody wants to talk to you, so why don't you just drop dead? Elaine (hanging up): Heh? Kramer enters. Kramer: Any word from Nana? Jerry: No. Elaine: Nana? Jerry: Yeah, my grandma's missing. Elaine: Missing? Jerry: Yeah. I think it might have something to do with those checks. Elaine: Um, what does Nana sound like? Jerry: Like a grandmother, why? Elaine: Well... Jerry: Oh, you hung up on my Nana?! Elaine: I don't know, maybe. Jerry: You told Nana to drop dead?! Elaine: It's possible. Jerry: Yes, it is! Kramer: Alright, alright. Look, Jerry, we gotta get down to PBS, PDQ. Jerry: Alright.
Well, it was set for 1/1/00 for some reason. Changed the date to today, rebooted and still the same. My itunes was lost when my computer crashed (got a spyware warning message and then a blue screen), so I don't have those. Luckily I gave all my music to a friend's hard drive, but I will have lost everything I've downloaded in the last month which is a ton (and quite a bit of money).
I recently had my iPod freeze up. Even after pushing the center and menu button at the same time to restart it, it still wouldn't work. I finally had to go to the iPod troubleshooting site and re-start in "disk mode" which meant having to have everything put back on my iPod (and I have a 60 gig one so that took some time). I say that what subtomic told you is the way to go but you may also want to read the troubleshooting site that apple has for the iPod just to keep as a reference.
Oh and I can't stress enough on how important it is to have all your music backed up on an external hard drive! Several months ago, I accidentally knocked off my 200 gig Seagate external hard drive to the floor. Wound up damaging it to a point where it couldn't be fixed. Needless to say I was extremely sick and upset about this. But I got lucky that a fellow co-worker had borrowed my external hard drive and made a copy of everything to his own external hard drive. So, I bought a new one (a 500 gig that was a Seagate Free Agent) off Amazon for under a hundred bucks. My friend (the co-worker) then made a copy of all of his stuff and placed it on my new external hard drive. I then went through and deleted the stuff I didn't need. I also had to add about 50 albums that weren't on the original copy but this was a helluva lot better than having to go through and saving over 1000 albums. I learned the hard way to keep my drive far enough back that it won't ever be knocked off again.
Cool. Thanks for the help guys. If I hadn't have given all my stuff to a friend last month, this would officially be a crappy crappy day. I guess I should count myself lucky that this is what I consider to be a crappy crappy day.
