IPOD not playing songs in order when not set on shuffle

During play of music. My IPOD will make a noise and then change songs. There is no other problem with the unit. Does anyone have a suggestions as to what the problem could be?

I have used these two programs to get the data out of the ipod, Xplay and Floola. The former is commercial, the latter is free but xplay has a few more options.

Need help: playing songs in order, strangewindow message, upgrading I-Tunes

I have 2 situations I hope someone can help me with:
1: PLAYING SONGS IN ORDER; WINDOW MESSAGE
I have CDs of music that when I load them onto my pc laptop the song names don’t come up—each song lists as “track 01” “track 02” etc.
When I try to play the album thru I-Tunes on my laptop, the songs won’t play in order. i.e. ALL the “track 02”s will play before going to “track 03,” then ALL the “track 03”s will play, etc. So I made a playlist of each CD.
Now when I try to play the Playlist, I get a window message that says, “The song “Track 01” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?” I can choose ‘yes’ or ‘cancel.’ YES takes me to folder selections. I find the song and click on it and then it plays.
There must be an easier way. I don’t want to search for each song one at a time in order to play an entire CD in order.
2: UPGRADE
I need to upgrade. I have I-TUNES 7.0.2. I went online to apple.com and couldn’t find any upgrade option, so I clicked on “download I-tunes”. I got a window that says “download complete.” But how do I tell if it’s really installed? Where do I go on my computer to see what version number it shows?
Any help is appreciated,

1. You have done something that has confused iTunes about the location of the files in its library. Without knowing what happened, it's hard to make a specific recommendation, but if you moved your files around manually, move them back, and then, if you want to change the location, do it only by setting it in iTunes preferences and then using Consolidate Library.

When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on. While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below). Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

IPod does not play songs in order - iPod Shuffle 1GB

When I drag songs to the iPod it adds them to the end of the list and then I sort by song name. When I play them on the iPod they are played at the end. When I hook up the iPod they are listed in the right order but that's not how they are played.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it?
Thanks in advance.

You might want to post in ipod shuffle forum.

I have the shuffle option off on my iPhone 4 but when I listen to an album it does not play the songs in order. How do I stop this from happening?

This is the control DaVBMan is talking about. Tap the shuffle control until it shows white for shuffle off.

Playlist is not playing songs in order

I recently synched my ITouch with my IMAC. After the synch process, I noticed when playing a playlist on my ITouch that the songs were being played at random. I did not press shuffle. I did not have this issues when I synched the ITouch previously.

Make sure that Shake-to-Shuffle is turned of in Settings>Music
Confirm that the Shuffle is turn off ion the Now Playing screen. Tap the crossed arrows icon on the Now Playing screen until it is white for no Shuffle
Next
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

6th gen ipod won't play songs in order?

My 6th gen ipod, The little square one,
I have playlists, but it does not play the songs in order - so why even have a playlist? Did something in the updates to iTunes change this? Plus there are no settings either in my iTunes which is up to date on my iMac (Maverick 7.1.1) which allow my to assk for this when syncing nor is there an option on sad little gen 6th. (I soooo regret I wore out the battery on my gen 5 nano).
Anyone?
Thanks!

Hey esmeglass!
Is it possible that you simply have shuffle turned on while playing your music? Try using the user guide for your iPod, found below, to determine if shuffle is turned on and how to turn it off:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Problem in playing songs in order - First Generation shuffle

I've been having a problem over the past few months, when trying to play my songs in order on my ipod shuffle (first generation). When I do, it suddenly stops in a song and freezes (also flashes green on and off). I switch it off and restart it, but the same problem occurs. I've tried the 5 R's and lost count the amount of times I've had to restore it.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
Sal, Scotland

This was not the first site I encounered in my first two hours of searching . . . the other sites said that I could do this and that but did not provide the links to actual instructions.
When connected .. the Shuffle appeared as an icon on the desktop, and two itunes windows were launched.
I could not disconnect in a manner that satisfied the MAC even after ejecting from all three places. However, after connecting and disconnecting about 20 times, setting up an Apple ID 3 or 4 times, and randomly clicking various parts of the itunes windows for a few hours, I finally was able to delete and reload songs and actually have the Shuffle play more than two. I can now forward to more than one song at a time.
Hopefully, my instructions above will assist future Shuffle users or at least make than feel better in their random quest for useability. BTW - I did find a teeny tiny manual with lots of redundancies. After much squinting, I ascertained that this manual instructed me to click things that I did not have visible on the screen so it was not useful.

IPod ot playing songs

My iPod will not play the songs i have, it stays at 0:00 and then will skip to the next song which will also not work. It does this until it finds a song that will play. Ive checked the volume and the songs that do not play on my iPod will play on itunes.

I have used these two programs to get the data out of the ipod, Xplay and Floola. The former is commercial, the latter is free but xplay has a few more options.

Keeping certain songs in order when shuffling a playlist

Is there a way to keep certain tracks in a playlist in order when shuffling the rest of the playlist?
For instance, Pure Prairie League -- "Falling in and out of love" & "Amie".
Or most of the end of The Beatles Abbey Road CD???

Itunes not playing songs in order

Hi,
Ever since upgrading to 11.0 iTunes won't play an album. I doubleclick to play the first track of either an album or in a playlist and then after the song is done it doesn't move on to the next song. I have to go back and doubleclick again. Also, clicking the "next" button doesn't work either, it just stops the song. The shuffle is not on neither is the repeat icon.
Is this a bug that needs to be fixed? Because at this moment I cannot listen to an album in sequence on my computer and that seems like pretty standard stuff that a media player should be able to do.
When in my Music library, I click on a song and then click next and it takes me way down the alphabet, it will play that whole song and then it will go to another track further down my library. And then back up again to the second song it went to and then just loop between these 4 albums. I have 50 GB of songs in my library so howcome it's jumping bewteen only 4 of them??

Have you tried checking all the songs you wish to play? Normally the collumn for placing a check is the first on the left. This worked for me.

Not playing songs in order (premium and not on shuffle)

Hye guys, long time lurker first time questioner.I have spotify on my iPhone 6 64 gig running iOS 8.4 and spotify version 3.6.0.923. In the last few days I've noticed that spotify doesn't always play albums that are in 'Your music' inthe correct order. I am a premium member and shuffle is turned off on the device so it would usually just play from the song I've selected until the ned of the album. The application is not doing this currently. It may play several songs in the correct orderbut after a few songs it'll just start playing in the wrong order. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hello there!
What you are experiencing might be a bug.
Have you tried closing the app and its process and then reopening it?
Does restarting your phone help?
If nothing works, maybe a clean reinstallation will do it:
On the home screen, tap and hold the Spotify icon until it shakes.
Tap the X symbol on the icon.
Hold the Home and Power buttons down together until the Apple logo appears.
Open the App Store then search for and install the Spotify app.
Keep in mind that a clean reinstall will delete all data stored by Spotify, so you'll need to sync your offline music again.
If nothing fixes the issue, then maybe the next Spotify update fixes it.
Hope this helps! ♫
