the problem is when i am trying to switch to the next song, it sometime take longer then usual to load the next song. I only have about 4gb of music so i know its not an issue of overloading the ipod. Also including the lag time there is also some point where it wont even load the song name or let me control the ipod. has anyone had these problems? i have a fifth gen 30gb ipod video btw.

Sounds like you need to reset your ipod or resync it in itunes. That is, completely wipe it clean and reload your media on it. Sometimes over time it can get like you described. Doing one of the 2 I have suggested will usually do the trick. Other then that your ipod may be starting to become defective.

well i just reset my ipod plus use the restore button. It gotten a little faster but there is some lag what else do you suggest i do? i bought it off ebay and i have the square trade warranty plus the seller 60 day warranty. It work fine with my head phone but not with the avic so what can i do now?

It could also be a bad ipod cable. Switch out the cable if possible. Also, if you can try another ipod to see if you get the same problem. If it works fine then your ipod is probably defective.

it must be this ipod problem because my gf nano works perfect. It is just weird how it work fine with the headset but when it is the avic then it becomes a problem. The ipod cable is fine because i bought it brand new and the nano never had a lag issue. I just dont get it.

Just Because it works with the headset does not mean its not defective. The headset does not use the dock connector on the ipod like the cable does. I would try to get it replaced or service.

It works fine with a headset because that's a different port. There might be something wrong with the data port on that ipod but the headphone port is working fine.

could it just be the fact that the unit is running multiple things at a time and it just takes longer for the unit to process the song change? i know nothing about computers so im just throwin it up there...HiFiSi, what do you think?

I think that would be the case had he not tried a different ipod and that one worked fine. Seeing as one worked fine and the other didn't, my guess would be tat the data port is malfunctioning and slowing down the data rate or causing communication problems, or there's something wrong with it internally.

well im in the process of sending this ipod back to get it fix from the ebay seller. Luckily it was a real business type ebayer so they should be able to fix it. If not then i still have the square trade warranty to fix it =] hopefully it'll get fix or i'll get a another ipod from them

you should download copypod and a keygen so you can back up all your music. thats what i did whenever i reformatted my ipod then i scanned that folder for any corrupted files

If it is the problem of data transmition, otherwise,it can`t be work partially...i just guess

well i just sent to ipod back so they can look at it and replace the part or just give me another ipod

Same thing happened with my new 4000DVD. I put about 20 vids I converted from youttube...they worked.

Then I added about 50 more and only one(the first) video plays...to play anything else I need to use the iPod control itself, not through the touchscreen. If I try doing it that way, it blanks out the song, artist ...etc. and says "stopped"

DId you solve your problem? I've kinda given up, but if I can reformat(3rd or 4th time on my 5th gen 30gb) and it works, then I am good to go.

But I doubt it.

I also have about 20gb used on mine though.

they couldnt solve it so i got a refund and i just bought a used 60gb so hopefully this one will work. But reformating your ipod won't work it is the ipod charge port that cause the problem. So replace it or repair it.

Weird, I have a brand new in the package IPOD cable from Pioneer.

its not the cable cause i had a new one too. It is the port you know where you plug to charge your ipod? that port is the problem not the cable or the avic

Make sure you give the iPod time to recalculate the "gapless playback info" after adding songs and syncing. That could be one issue.
