5th gen keeps returning to Apple screen
Posted: Sep 23, 2008 2:13 AM
 

All of a sudden after playing anywhere from 2 to 4 songs my Ipod stops and returns to the Apple screen briefly. Then it goes to the main menu screen.

What's going on here? Is there anyway to stop this and get back to normal?

Thanks in advance.

It seems like it might work ok on Shuffle. However, when I try to play the 30+ songs I added yesterday (purchased from itunes) the problem occurs.

Any ideas?

It's not the battery obviously, so..

I'm having this same problem. I downloaded the new Kings of Leon album and it freezes and resets after playing 3 or 4 songs. I've tried reseting and restoring the settings.

I downloaded the new Kings of Leon album, and I'm having the exact same problem. The ipod resets after playing 3-4 songs from the album.

This all started after I purchased nearly 30 Iron maiden songs from iTunes.
It doesn't do it on any other songs on my iPod.

None of our resident experts on here can help?

I'll tell ya, if Apple can't help, they've lost a very loyal and free spending iTunes customer!

Same problem here. Ipod restarts to Apple screen after playing any 2 songs off of full album purchased 9/23. Very frustrating!!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I thought my iPod was breaking down - normally resets between sex on fire and use somebody - or after playinng any three songs of the new Kings of leon album - sort it out Apple!

I've had the same problem after purchasing KOL. There's another thread on here with loads more people having the same problem but no answer from Apple. The only thing Ive heard that works is putting the album into a playlist, burning it to cd and importing it again. I think this would affect the sound quality though so I'm not too happy if thats the only fix. Hopefully one of the experts on here will speak up soon!

Got this response today:

"Dear Ryan,

Thank you for contacting us, my name is Lillian and I hope you are having a good day so far. I understand that you are having trouble playing the album you purchased on your iPod, that after playing two or three songs it freezes and then completely resets itself. I can certainly appreciate your desire to resolve this issue and I will be more than happy to investigate this for you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide me with the discussion board links, I will definitely pass it on to my support team.

I looked into this for you and after speaking with my support team, I have posted a fresh copy of the album to your account to see if downloading a new file and transferring to your iPod will help.

Ryan, as an iTunes Store Customer Support representative, I usually handle issues related to billing, downloading, customer accounts, and the items available on the iTunes Store. The question you asked falls outside of my area of specialty. However, Apple does offer some resources that should help you."

add another disgruntled customer. I got a brand new download but it craps out on me on the third song, and it's the new Jenny Lewis album too. This is total B.S. Apple knows this is happening and hasn't sent out a message? I have an itunes card for my birthday and I don't want to buy any more songs because I'm afraid they'll just crap out like this album. A new download does nothing. I have the newest itunes. I do NOT want to copy the album to a cd and lost sound quality. I could have just bought the freakin album if I was gonna do that anyway.

This is also happening to me. Last week I purchased the new Jem and it shut down after the third song. Today I purchased 3 singes which it shuts down on two of them as well as the new Ben Folds.
