Ipod Skipping Tracks !
 
Hi all

Recent problem Ok this morning !.............when I go to play Tracks on the iPod says they are there and even shows time lengths but doesn't play them - just skips from one track to the next until the end of that Album/Artist and then returns to the menu!

When I look in Itunes under administrator's Ipod all songs are greyed out

Any ideas

Thanks

Mike

are they tunes you have purchased from the itunes store?

do they play properly from the playlist/ library on the pc?

Songs appear in the libary and play ok.

I think the best way is to start again ie delete all the music on the ipod and reload................even having problems doing this because everything is greyed out so I can not clear it !!!

ANy ideas

Thanks Mike

Delete you Itunes music folder from the My Misuc folder in XP, assuming that you have XP of course.

Itunes is not having the problem. The iPod is.

Mike: I think your iPod's database is corrupted. Trying using Ephpod (http://www.ephpod.com/ ) to fix it.

Failing that, you will need to reformat the iPod and transfer your songs again.

Edit: BTW, just found out that the current version of Ephpod does not support the latest iPod software (the one released a few days ago).

If the iPod's database is corrupted, reformatting the iPod and transferring tracks again is probably less hassle than downloading and fiddling about with an unfamiliar piece of software.

True, that's why I also suggested it..
