My ipod touch will only play the same song over and over unless you manually fast forward?

My ipod touch will not shuffle through the songs. It just plays the same song over and over.  All that shows at the top is the info picture.  How do I fix this?

Do this:
Play a song.
Tap the screen once so you see the scrubber.
To the left of the scrubber, there's a set of two arrows going in a circle - if it's blue, it's set to repeat.
Click on it once to make it white - no repeat.

  • 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

  • Since syncing my Ipod classic three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it just stops. After a little while, it moves on to the next song.

    I have an old iPod Classic, 5th generation with video 30 GB. I sync via a pc. Since syncing it three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it moves on to the next song or if it's the last song, it goes back to the menu. I just synced again and it it still doing it.It also has a small group of dots near the middle of the screen that weren't there before.Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?  Thanks.

    Please disregard this question. I have a better worded version coming up.

  • Apple TV will only play the first song on an album, why?

    When I press play on an album (music), Apple TV only play the first song, then it stops. Why?? I can understand it when I press play on a spesific song/track, but when I press play on an entire album, I want Apple TV to play the entire album.

    You need to put checkmarks in front of all your music.

  • Help. My iPod nano is stuck on repeat. it will only repeat the same song over and over. How can I change the settings

    Help. My ipod nano is stuck on repeat. It repeats the same song over and over and wont play songs on the same album consecutively. How do I fix this

    Hey cemccarty,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The option to turn off repeat will depend on your iPod nano model. Here is the information for the latest model, the iPod nano (7th generation):

  • TS1424 I have downloaded a song and it will only play the first 18 seconds and starts again?

    I downloaded Clique by Kanye West on itunes and it all appered normal until you try to play the song either on my computer or iphone it plays the first 18 seconds and then goes to the next song even though it says the song is 4:52 any ideas how to fix this?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting it from your iTunes library and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? Re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • HT201210 the screen on my ipod touch will only show the apple icon it will not turn all the way on

    the screen on my ipod touch only shows the apple logo.it will not shut off or turn all the way on and when plugged into itunes it will not allow the newest update

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 8GB IPod Touch Will Only Hold 1,000 songs

    I have an 8GB IPod Touch and it will hold only around 1,000 songs. I have nothing else on it. Some of the music was downloaded from ITunes, and some downloaded from CDs. According to Apple specs, the 8GB iPod can hold up to 2,000 songs, up to 7,000 photos, up to 8 hours of video, or some of each.
    Any thoughts?

    if they are in 128 kbps AAC format !
    if you use higher bitrated tunes, they will be bigger in size and use more space.
    enable the +convert higher bit rate songs to AAC 128+ setting in the summary tab of the device when it is connected to iTunes.

  • 40 Gig iPod Photo will only play for five seconds

    My 40 Gig iPod Photo will only play the first five seconds of the songs I have on it. I have not changed anyting and it worked just fine last week. Any ideas? I have done a hardware re-set. I have no clue what is going on.
    Any help would be great!

    Hey!
    Have you tried a reset?
    Hold down the home button and off button together for about 6-8 seconds(until the apple shows ignoring the slide to turn off at this point).Soon as the Apple appears let go and allow it to reset back to the Home screen(can take a couple of minutes).
    Try it again.This isn't a Restore,so you wont lose any of your media.
    Cheers,
    John

    Hi
    All my music is stored on iCloud but when I try and play music from a playlist, the iPhone 4 will only play the track I select and won't progress on to the next one. It just keeps repeating the one I selected. Does anyone else have this problem? Many thanks.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
