My classic ipod has not been used for a while. On the face of it everything appears to be working as normal but now I find that when I go to a song in my playlist it will not play. I have tried restoring but that didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Can the song in the playlist play in iTunes?
Er....thanks but I was rather hoping to be able to play my iPod when it is NOT connected to my computer. You know, walking around with earbuds in, the way it was designed to be used!
Richard, Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I'm trying to see if the song is not corrupted and can be played in iTunes. If the song cant be palyed in iTunes , it wont play in iPod.
OK, I understand your question now, sorry about that. Yes, the songs on the iPod play fine on iTunes, they just won't play on the iPod. I have tried resetting it but it makes no difference. Every other function of the iPod appears to be OK, very strange.
Can you Reset theiTunes Sync Alert
This is to enable warnings, that the song is incompatible for your iPod model.
Then put the iPod in Manually Manage Music, and drag the song from iTunes library to iPod, to see if there is any error message.
Your post does not mention if that song has ever played in your iPod, so I assumed it has never. Some High Quality music format are not compatible with iPod.
I reset iTunes sync alert, manually dragged songs from the library onto the ipod and got no error messages. All these songs have played fine on the ipod previously, now none of them do.
OK I'm out of suggestions, since you mentioned that you have Restored the iPod, which I may have misunderstood.
My last suggestion is the obvious, Reset the iPod
