Stuck on the same song and want change

My I-Phone will not change song automatically. You have to manually change the songs or you will hear the same song repeated over and over. I have tried many things and can't find the shuffle button or the repeate button when the song comes up. Can someone help me?

Hi there Duramaxgrl!
It seems like the answer to your question can be found in the iPhone user guide on page 59:
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Specifically, make sure you pay attention to the last line of the instructions that I have posted above, since it sounds like your controls for shuffle and repeat may be hidden from view. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

  • If different albums have the same song and I delete the duplicates what happen with the albums that should have that song, does it refrence back to the the song that was not deleted.

    If several albums have the same song and I delete the duplicates what happen then.  Does it remove the song from the albums and just keep 1 song in 1 of the albums?
    Thx got my answer not possible, it will delete th esong from the other albums

    Indeed, a song can only appear in one album.
    To check your library for duplicates use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. Keep holding down shift until you have clicked on the text Show Exact Duplicates or it may still use the loser definition.
    If you find that you have true duplicates you need to manually select all but one of each group to remove, or use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. The script attempts to take account of different types of duplicates which need to be handled differently, merges playcounts and preserves playlist membership. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

  • The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page with my downloadable list of songs. How do you down load a purchase? I have made 3 purchases of the same song and can not down load it and the HELP instructions don't help.

    The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page listing my purchase.
    The HELP instructions list that such a button must be clicked to down load an item.
    I have made 3 purchases of the same song in an attempt to download it.
    Only one of those purchases appears on the page that list purchases available to down load.
    I wrote out a copy of the HELP page instructions (the page can't be printed) so I could accurately follow it as I tried to do the down load.
    Is there some secret to downloading a purchase or causing the down load button to appear?

    Hello L Swarz,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when downloading your purchased song to your iPod nano.
    I am not sure if you have tried these specific steps, but I recommend downloading the purchased song to iTunes on your computer using the steps in the following article:

  • I have two users on the same MAC and want to have separate ITunes libraries stored on my time capsule.  what's the best way to ensure that is done?

    I have 2 users on a MAC each with separate accounts (email, photo, ITunes) and I want to migrate my ITUnes Library over to a time capsule so that each usewr still has their own library bu don't want to duplicate songs.  What is the best way to have both Itunes pointed to separate libraries both stored on the Time Capsule?

    A bit of basics on iTunes.  iTunes does 99% of what you see through a library.itl file in the iTunes folder.  This file is a database and in it are references to the actual media files.  These files can be anywhere in theory, but if you have iTunes set to default then they are nicely organized in media folders in the iTunes folder.  You have probably moved them to some central shared location in the past, then built up two individual libraries around that central location.
    iTunes is very fussy about a person dragging files to a different location, and that goes double if the other location is on a different drive.  You can move files, but it is best to let iTunes do it so it can keep track.  If this was just for one person I'd say go into preferences, select the other drive for media location, then close preferences. My understanding (never done this before) is iTunes will then ask you if you want to move your media.  Say yes and iTunes will move it and keep track of it -- for your library.  Now when you go to the other person's library, it opens and you see loads of ! because their library is still looking for the media on the same  drive as the library is located on.  I don't think it will work (but you could always try) to re-assign the media location to the external drive because the reference in the database is to look for such-and-such a file on the internal drive.  iTunes did that for the first library as part of the move, but not for the second one.  Note that typically when you want to move a single user's collection from drive to drive we advise moving the whole iTunes folder, library files and all, to another drive, but you don't have that structure.
    So I'm not sure what to advise.  If it were me and I was absolutely gung-ho on doing this I would re-assign the media with one library.  Then edit the .xml version of the library file for the second library so it points to the new file locations and import this into a fresh iTunes library for the second user.  This isn't the perfect solution because nominally the .xml version does not 1005 replicate all the characteristics of the original .itl file (which cannot be edited).
    Or maybe some other user bas a better idea.

  • I have two cameras of the same model and want to separate out the photos taken on each one. Is this possible?

    I have a Canon and my husband has a Canon, and they are the same model (mistake!)
    I imported his photos into my library (I'm the keeper of the photos), and now I want to seperate out his photos from mine.
    To make matters worse, the dates are the same (since we travel together) and the file numbers overlap (because the world is out to get us).
    They are thoroughly intermingled, but I'm hoping there is a super geeky way to seperate them.
    Ideas?

    Try to separate the photos by "import session".
    Assuming you can recognize some of the photos you took - perhaps there are some photos showing your husband and some photos showing you - these photos will tell you the import session. All photos you import into the library will be assigned an import session metadata tag, so his photos should have all the same import session tag.
    To show this thag, set the Info panel in the Inspector to "Edit" and add it to your current Metadata view.
    Once you found the Import Session for your husband's photos, create a smart album based on this meta data tag.
    When I import my husband's photos in my library, I use a metadata preset on import, that will assign automatically a keyword, set his copyright, and adds a color code. So I can see at a glance, which photos are my photos and which are his.

  • Can i upload the same songs and apps to my new ipod touch that was on my stolen I pod touch?

    i want to upload all my apps that i bought on my stolen ipod touch to my new ipod touch is this possible

    You can redownload apps but music depends upon where you are located.  See:

  • How can I go back the same song that was playing when I switched and watched a movie?

    How can I go back to the same song and place in the song that was playing when I started watching a movie?  I have over 6k songs and now my ipod always goes back to #1 even though I may have been listening to # 321.  How do I ever get to listen to all my songs.  Yes I have it on random but if I look at the songs I have played lots of them have played 15-20 times amd many more 6-8 times.  At this point I don't feel I will ever hear the latest songs I added. 
    Any help will be greately appreciated.  Also is it possible to do the same on the new ipod classic 160?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • I originally purchase a ringtone on Jan 10, 2013 - it is no longer on my i-phone and it is not stored any where.  I have another purchase on my credit card statement for the same song on a different date??  How do i get the ringtone on my phone?

    I originally purchased a ringtone on Jan 10, 2013 and it is not longer on my i-phone 4s!  I have another charge for the same song and there is still no way to set as ringtone!

    Hello
    Try restoring the device and setting up as new.
    If it is still shows an iCloud activation lock, then it's on an iCloud account
               The wrong device was removed from an iCloud account.
    Check any other Apple IDs you might have at
                 iCloud.com
    Get signed into them and remove that device.
    I wish this was the first time I seen this.
    Best of Luck

  • ITunes copying same songs and apps every sync

    Every single time I sync my iPhone 4s (iOS 6) to iTunes 11 (OS 10.6.8) it copies the same songs and apps to my iTunes. Like right now it says "Syncing Danielle's iPhone (Step 5 of 5)" and right below that "Copying 8 of 10: MC3" (which stands for the app, Modern Combat 3). No more than 5 minutes ago I was syncing my iPhone and it was copying that app (it takes forever too because it's a big file). All I changed was adding some calendar events on my macbook in iCal then I wanted to sync it again real quick and it's copying all of these files again that it just did.
    One of the problems could be that I have it removed from my iPhone but it's still checkmarked in iTunes? I can't see how that would be practical though. I would think that if I deleted a song on my iPhone, or deleted an app, that when it connected to iTunes next it would make a note that I don't want it on my phone anymore. Anyone know the source of the issue?

    Some other program is interfering with itunes saving its database file.
    iTunes Library.itl
    This is really common for Sony Vaio users running Vista. Either disable the Vaio's music service program (VCFw.exe), or uninstall it, as Evert Yntema chose to do.
    See this post
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8545376&#8545376
    And for folks who don't have a Vaio, the next biggest culprit is security or backup software scanning the itunes folders. You need to configure
    Norton/Symantec
    McAfee
    Kaspersky
    ESET NOD
    IObits
    Windows Live OneCare
    Carbonit
    Mozy
    or whatever software you've got installed to ignore the itunes folder or specifically, that ITL file.
    If you're getting tons of TMP files, something is interfering with itunes saving the ITL file. A workaround is to same that ITL file to a different folder or USB drive just before you close itunes.

  • My iPhone keeps playing same song and won't play next one

    My new IPhone 4 keeps playing the same song and won't play the next one! I have reinstalled the software and reset it, but still no luck.

    See Page 77 of the User's Guide.  Make sure you do not have it set to repeat that specific song.

  • 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):

  • How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music.  Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon.  It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.

  • How do I open my itunes account on a new computer without having to buy all new songs? It doesn't seem fair to have to buy all the same songs a second time if they are already purchased by me and I just want them on my new computer!
