Music not playing in order

im hoping someone could help me resolve this... within the past 2 months whenever i play music from the song list and i go to the next song it isn't in alphabetical order it plays randomly not a huge deal but kind of annoying. i tried restoring my ipod and that didn't fix it anyone have any suggestions?

Try tapping on the album picture while you are playing a song. The genius button, song progress, etc will show up. On the right hand side is the shuffle button. It is probably blue. Tap it, turn it white, problem solved. This had troubled me for a while as well.

  • Music playlists do not play in order

    Music playlists do not play in order. How do turn off that function and get playlists to play in order?

    In the Music app in iOS6, white is still off, but on is orange, for both the shuffle function and the repeat function.  As before, the repeat widget is a three-state toggle, with two on states - a plain racetrack for repeating the album or playlist, or a racetrack with a smaller circle containing a "1" superimposed on it for repeating a single track.
    I don't know what happens if both suffle and repeat are on, maybe it creates a hole in space-time.
    By the way, I tapped on the artwork many times before the additional song controls appeared.

  • Playlist songs not playing in order

    All of my playlists are no longer playing songs in order. I don't think I hit shuffle. I deleted the music from the iPhone and synced them all again, but still not playing in order. The songs are in the correct order in iTunes. Any thoughts?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I was having the same problem and just found an answer in these forums.
    You have to be playing a track (song or podcast) in the playlist to make the change. Tap on the album art to bring up the scrubber bar. Then tap on the shuffle icon on the right side to turn off shuffle.
    Seems to work for me so far.

  • ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Music Not Played Recently

    In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
    This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
    "Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
    There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
    In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
    Question is:
    Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
    If not, why not?
    If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

    anyone?

  • Songs repeating - or not playing in order

    I noticed on first play of a downloaded album that even with the 'Repeat' facility not selected, the first song played through,, and at the end repeated. I forwarded on to the next track and the same thing happened. On another track, the song didn't even get to the end before it jumped back to repeat itself. The album was Led Zeppelins 'The Song Remains The Same'. I have not noticed this behaviour on any other albums.
    Another issue is that songs do not always play in order - even with the Shuffle facility not selected. This is particularly noticable on 'live' albums.
    Is this a bug or poorly managed markers in the music conversion?

    I was having the same problem with all my tracks on my Touch repeating, and I could not locate the repeat feature on the Touch. I found on another string the answer for where to find the repeat and shuffle controls on page 59 on the user manual:

    It solveed my problem. Hope it helps with yours.

  • IPOD shuffle will not play in order

    I have setup up a play list to play some pod casts, they sync fine, but I can not get the shuffle to play them in the order I set them in. I have set the switch in the back to be 1/2 of the way down (the play in order) but it still just shuffles the play list. Is there 1) a way to force it to play in the order I set it in the play list (these pod casts are really 1 radio show, just the 3 hours are differiant mp3's) 2) have iTunes convert the 3 files into 1 file that is just the 3 concatinate one after another. I use the shuffle for biking and I don't want to take my 40Gb hard drive based one on the bike ride due to potholes here.

    Unfortunately the issue is with the podcasts. I want to intersperse my Podcasts with some music. I also want to play the podcasts in the order I'm choosing. Instead I set up the playlist, it looks good. I eject the iPod but when I plug and play, it's playing the songs and podcasts in the order it sets not the one I set!
    That Control Click on the iPod icon in iTune and selecting "Copy to Play Order" actually seemed to work. Instead it just seems to muddy the waters.
    Previously I would set up a playlist in the order I wanted it and then eject. Then after plugging it back in the play order I set up would be gone and the iTunes dictated play order would be there. I tried the "Copy to Play Order" and ejected the iPod. When I plugged it back in the play order I set up was still there. I was all excited thinking the problem was solved but decided to try playing the shuffle. Imagine my disgust when the first thing that played was a podcast that I set down into the middle of the playlist...

  • Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

    Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

    I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

  • Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

    i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
    now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
    what did i do wrong.

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Why will music not play on my iPhone?

    None of my music is playing on iTunes from my phone.  It works on my computer, but only about 4 songs will play on my phone.  I have tried restarting my phone and syncing it to the computer and the music will still not work.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My problem was that the voice tracks on my iTunes files AND TuneIn Radio were at extremely low volume, while the background tracks were OK. Raising the volume to max made the voice tracks barely audible, but then the rest was garbled. This was the first time I played music since upgrading to iOS 6 (iPhone 4 (CDMA)). Just to do something, I went to Settings/Music and toggled a few of the ON-OFF settings, e.g., Volume Limit, EQ, etc. When I went back to play music, all was well. IN ADDITION, the sound quality and R-L separation seem much improved. I suspect a reset would have accomplished the same.(?)
    I have not seen any reports of any iOS 6 changes in audio decoding, but it seems like there are.
    Anybody have a clue?

  • Music not playing in iTunes after iOS5/Itunes 10.5 updates.

    Hi,
    I recently updated both my iTunes to 10.5 and iPod touch 4g to iOS 5.  I updated on my laptop (which i am on now, and have the issue with).  The laptop is running 10.6.8, and has no music on the hard drive.  I plug my iPod into the laptop to use the lap top speakers and play the music through itunes.  I have never had a problem since updating.  Now half of my music is not playing from the computer, however it plays fine directly from the iPod speakers.  When I updated I erased all music on the iPod and started over.  Any ideas on what the problem is here?

  • Music not playing smoothly in iTunes

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and ever since then my music has been jerking and not playing smoothly. I've checked my computer's performance while iTunes and other applications have been open and all seems normal. I've run the setup file again and chosen "Repair", but nothing has changed.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This version of iTunes 12.1:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer).  The "for older video cards" does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.

  • Music not playing back correctly

    For some reason, Itunes began playing back incorrectly.  The music is fine but the vocals sound like they are in a hole.  Not sure why.  Did this before and I do not recall how I got it back to playing normal.  Help plz!

    Every since the iOS 5 update, my music does not play correctly on my iPhone 4. I have tried all the fixes I have found, except to delete all my music from iTunes as well as my iPhone, and reimporting it all...are they kidding? I have thousands of songs from various sources, so that is not going to happen. When I heard about iOS 5.1, I hoped it would correct the issue, which it did, for about an hour or so. I will just cease to use my multitasking smart phone to play music and revert to my oldschool music player. I pause in wondering whether or not I should hold my breath on Apple coming to the rescue for its dedicated users. Oh yeah, some of the songs that do not play correctly or at all were purchased from iTunes on my iPhone 4, so this issue is not just related to songs imported from CDs.

  • Help! Music not "playing" in Itunes

    So I updated to the newest version of iTunes (7.3.2) today and upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.1.
    Now, any music in my iTunes library will not play. The top of the screen shows the song title and artists name/album, and the run time...but nothing happens. I hit play...nothing. I try clicking randomly along the track...nothing. My volume is up (I can load up Youtube and listen with no issues. As many times as I hit Play/Pause, it never moves. My Apple TV works fine as does my iPhone. Anyone know why?

    Searched and found the answer...for those curious...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1178079&tstart=0
    Finally, someone figured it out!
    Basically,
    Start Menu>Control Panel>(at this point, I just typed "Quicktime" into the search menu)QuickTime, then click the Audio tab and in that tab, the "Select Audio Playback and Recording Devices" button. A small window popped up and said some sort of driver enhancement was causing problems, would I like to stop it? Click Yes.
    Try iTunes again--mine finally works now!
