Q: i pod won't play songs selected

Hello there,

 

Please bear with me as I am new here. I am not sure of the model of iPod I have - it's discontinued. I want to say it's a 5th gen. I inserted an image. It's not an iPod Touch. It's very slender and has a clickwheel at the bottom.

 

Well, we all know that iTunes bugs us continually to update to a new version. I typically decline because it messes things up, but I finally gave in and guess what...it messed things up. My iTunes songs play fine on my computer, but they no longer play properly on my iPod. Say, for example, I go to Playlist 1, highlight the first song - Detroit vs. Everybody - and click play. Well, it goes to the second song in the playlist instead. So I try again, highlighting the first song in the playlist. It now goes to the third song in the list.

 

This happens also when I just go to Songs (not a playlist). Say I highlight Bittersweet Symphony in my song list and click play. It goes to Blast Your Radio, which is three songs down. It's like it's just making up its own mind about what it wants to play. I've called Geek Squad twice and they were just like, "Ummm....try contacting an Apple Support community. We don't know." I know this happened once before when I dumbly accepted their demand to install an update, and someone had a solution, but I don't recall what what solution was. Can anyone help??? Thank you!!!
