songs on ipod not working.. (1 Viewer)

[icraig88]

hey guys,

i have an ipod nano 2gb. i delete all the songs that were previously on it and put new ones on, plus some of the old ones back on. but for some reason when i go to play the old songs they skip straight to the new ones. i've asked a couple of people and they don't seem to know why. i've tried resetting the ipod and still continues to do this. any ideas? can u format the ipod somehow? has anyone else experienced this problem??

by the way i deleted them through My Computer/:G/Music > Delete all songs (showing the hidden files).

cheers guys

I think the Ipod still keep the song list before you deleted but the actual files are already deleted and thats why it skip straight to the new songs when you tried to play old songs.

have you tried Restore to factory setting? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

You should've deleted them with the iTunes software, really.

Seconding the restoring, too.

You goof. In your future, manage your iPOD songs via iTunes - don't just go adding/deleting them straight from the device.

what an inferior and annoying device. I am glad i never bought into that apple hype.

iTunes is an excellent piece of software. It makes organising, adding and deleting music files seemlessly easy. I fail to see how this makes the iPOD 'inferior' or 'annoying'.

i do add through itunes... i delete through the device because i found songs werent being deleted through itunes..

iTunes is a crappy piece of software. It makes organising, adding and deleting music files impossible. I find it stupidly easy to see how this makes the iPOD 'inferior' or 'annoying'.

Corrected.

Now tell me how to add an .avi video to my video iPod...

"It makes organising, adding and deleting music files impossible."

If you find that task 'impossible', then there's no hope for you.
