IPod will only play songs from one album

Help! I downloaded an album onto my iPod, and now my iPod will only play songs from that album. When I go to select songs from another album, my iPod skips over them like it is searching for something.

Have you seen the suggestions in this article?:

  • My ipod will only play out of one headphone

    i know it is not the headphones because i have brought new ones twice now and the right headphone still wont play... does anyone have any help or do you think apple will try to fix it?

    I have the same problem but my warranty has run out, anyone have any suggestions? I've tried different headphones and its definately the socket you plug headphones into on the ipod thats the problem.
    I'd prefer not to just get a new ipod when all that seems to be wrong is the headphone jack!

  • IPod will only play "legit" songs after Vista upgrade

    iPod 80 GB
    Windows Vista Business
    iTunes 7.1.1
    Ever since I upgraded to Vista, my iPod will only play songs I personally ripped from CD's or bought from iTunes.
    I do have songs downloaded from other sources (friend's bands sites) and the ipod starts to play them for one second and then the "time bar" goes fully blue and the song doesn't play.
    It took me a full restore and reload to figure out that it was only the downloaded songs that wouldn't play.
    Thanks in advance.

    Quite a number of people have had similar issues because the songs are MP3/AAC using VBR (variable bit rate) and the VBR tags are not correct.

  • My IPod   will only  play the same song in the playlist. What is  happening?

    My Ipod  will only play one song (over and over) in  a play list. It was workig fine and then  all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please  help.

    Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
    Hope this helps

  • I can only play songs from the cloud that are checked with a dark checkmark-I have many other songs with a faint check that don't play

    Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

  • Ipod will only play single songs

    i am not extremely adept with technology but i know some basics, i'm having trouble with my 30GB ipod video, it will only play single songs, if i choose an artist with more then one song in that category it automatically zooms through them all rapid fire and then returns to the main menu... i have no idea why or how this is happening, is it possible i have a virus of some type? if so, how can i get rid of it or fix this problem? i have tried resetting it several times and syncing several times, nothing has changed.... also my second problem is that the videos i have on my ipod will play but they do not play any sound...i am more concerned with the first problem tho. if anyone could offer some advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Do the songs play in the iTunes? However, usually if an iPod scrolls through all of the songs instead of playing them it is a software issue. I'd try restoring the iPod to factory settings and syncing the music again.

    Also, with your second issue. Where are the videos from? If they were something you imported on your own check this out:

  • My ipod will only play from 1 heandphone. whats wrong?

    my ipod touch only plays from 1 headphone and iv'e bought 3 different pair. it'll only play if i do a certain thing with the cord. idk what to do. help me !!!

    Hi,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802#acoustic provides tips that will resolve most hardware issues. One of the tips it provides is checking the iPhone's headphone jack for debris. You can try connecting and disconnecting the headphones a few times to remove lint or anything else that might be down there.
    If the issue persists with some headphones but not others, the headphones with the issue will need service. You can setup service for the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic online here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

  • Is It Possible To Only Play Songs from Specific Playlist?

    I got a new iPod Shuffle for Christmas and have put 2 playlists onto it. The 1st playlist is a running one and the 2nd playlist a general one.
    Is it possible for me to play songs only from the running playlist when I am running. It currently is playing songs from both playlists?
    Thanks

    Yes.   See this article for how to it manually.

  • Cannot play song from purchased album

    I purchased 2 albums from the iTunes music store - 1) Spin Doctors "If the river was whisky" and 2) Steely Dan " A Decade of Steely Dan". When originally downloaded, all played fine on all devices (via iTunes Match) Iphone, ipad, Macbook Air. But now I am unable to play one song from each album. Specifically,
    "If the River was whisky" and "FM". When trying to play the song, I am prompted to enter my Apple ID to authorize the computer, which of course it is already authorized as the other songs from the same albums play. I have de-authorized all computers and just authorized one but still cannot play. Note that the file type of the problems tracks is "ACC audio file" not "purchased ACC audio file"
    Help anyone?

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • Group songs from one album together

    How do you group together multiple songs all from one album? iTunes imports these as multiple albums all with the same name. It's driving me nuts, why oh why is iTunes nowhere near as good as Windows Media Player?

    If you look at the getinfo page for these tracks. Is there an entry in the Album Artist Field - NOT the ARtist Field. You can put any value you like in here
    eg Various Artist, Artist A and Friends whatever and then if this is the same accross all tracks they should display as one album.
    iTunes 11 seems to have a far more rigorous interpretation of tags compared with iTunes 10 where you did not have to bother with Album Artist.

  • IPod will not play songs purchased from itunes

    my ipod will show me the album (songs, artwork, time of song, etc.) but when I press play, it just quickly skips through all the songs. So far this has only been the case with music purchased through itunes. I restored my ipod but nothing has helped thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    This just happened to me on one song I purchased from iTunes (it plays fine on iTunes on my MacBook). I'm on iTunes 8.0 (haven't yet upgraded to newest version). Everything else works fine so should I do this for only one song - or is there another easier fix? I did copy the song to a cd so would it work if I just deleted the one song and imported it? Or is this a sign of a deeper problem?

  • IPod will not play songs bought from iTunes more than once

    None of the songs I have purchased from the iTunes Store play on my iPod. They play on my Mac, my wife's Mac and my wife's iShuffle, but not my iPod. My iPod is running the lastest software version, and i have the latest iTunes version.
    If I format, reset, restore and reload my music, HOORAH!! they play...ONCE. Then I have to do that all over again if I want to play them again. The songs say they are there, they say they are taking up hdd space, but if I try to play the iPod just thinks about it for a second or two and then skips over the song.
    I have never had any problem with songs ripped off my CD collection.
    Apple are completely useless and offer no assistance and what i have been able to find on their website tells me to do what I've done. Does anyone have any ideas how to make my iPod compatible with the iTunes store?

  • My iPod will not play songs that I've put on it from my computer.

    It plays Them on iTunes, but they will not play on my iPod.
    It selects the songs, and brings up the screen, and the icon is on play, but the songs do not play.
    They're not songs I bought, it's some that I put on my iPod manually from the music I had on my computer.
    I've restored it, and tried again, but I don't know why that didn't work.
    Please help me! I'm dying of music depravation.

    Are they in a format the iPod can play?
