Album Songs & Music Videos not playing in order

I've just bought an iPod Touch. On my iPod Classic, when I play albums it runs in the order of songs, but on my iPod Touch it will say play Track 1 and when that song has ended it may play any random song like Track 7 then back to Track 3.
All the music videos I have play in the order of the alphabet from A to Z, not in the album titles I've selected them to play on.
I have Shake to Shuffle switched off on my settings for Music. I'm not sure how to correct this, as my music appears to be on some sort of Shuffle mode.

I just solved the same problem on my new iPod Touch (3G, 32G, if it matters). FYI, I am a complete newbie when it comes to iPods, and so please excuse me if I don't identify things by their correct names.
When the first song on the album starts playing, there is a screen with a volume slider on the bottom, and the name of the artist and album at the top. There's also a progress bar for the song near the top, and two symbols on the left and right side of the screen just below that progress bar. Try tapping the one on the right, with the two intersecting/curvy arrows, even if it's not highlighted in blue - I think it gets 'stuck on', and just doesn't show that it's on.
I did this after deleting all the songs on my iPod, or even after a full restore, didn't fix the problem.
I hope this works for you. I found some great live recordings (made legally!) on the Web recently, and they just didn't sound right shuffled.

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.

ITunes Purchased Music/Videos Not Playing On iPod

Hi All..
Long time reader, first time 'post-er'..
I have a problem that is starting to annoy me.. All my purchased music and videos from iTunes will play in iTunes and transfer to the ipod, but when I go into play these from the iPod.. It starts to play (on videos the black screen comes up) then just jumps back to the menu.
My videos that I have converted from DVD are perfect, and songs I have imported are also perfect.. Its just everything from iTunes wont play on my iPod.. But I obviously cant convert my iTunes videos because they are protected.. To get my purchased music on my iPod I need to burn and import.. Annoying isnt it?!
Anyone have any ideas??? Would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks Again!!

Why do music videos not play full screen when not in video app on iPad and iPhone? video app is worthless, cannot sort or build playlists.

Is there a way to build video playlist within itunes that will play full screen or landscape? I do not like the video app.

Greetings avilation,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like when you stream videos to your iOS devices using Home Sharing, you only get either video or audio.
You can find some troubleshooting steps that may help this situation on this page:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing - Apple Support
I'd recommend starting with Step 4 (Check your network connection) in this guide.
Best Regards,

In order to properly play my music on my DAC with a headless mac mini, I had to "check" the tunes in iTunes. When I did that, the songs in each album were put in not their proper order. How do I restore them to their original sequence in each album?

In order to properly play my music on my DAC using a headless Mac Mini, I had to make sure that all of the songs in "Music" were checked. To so so, I pressed the "check box." When I did that, all of the songs in each album were resequenced in not their proper order.
How do I restore the proper order of songs for each album?

In list view, select the album column. To choose which columns appear, select an item on the left side of the window (a playlist, for example), choose View > View Options, and select the information you want to see. You can also Control-click a column heading to select columns to display.
The column selected determines how tracks are displayed. For example, clicking the "Name" column displays all tracks in alphabetical order; clicking the "Album" column displays the tracks in album order; clicking the "Date Added" column displays the tracks in the order that they were imported into your library. Columns also have a disclosure arrow at the right of the column (when selected) that you can click to reverse the order.

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.

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.

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Why if you try to send i photo album to apple tv assigned music does not play?

Why if you send album from i photo assigned music will not play on apple tv?

Are you sending an album or a slideshow? I don't think music can be assigned to an album.
Have you tried asking this question in the iPhoto forum (assuming it's an iPhoto question) or the AppleTV forum (if it's more a question about the AppleTV?).

Videos and Music will not play using Safari or Chrome

I have tried every trouble shooting option I can find on the internet. Nothing is working. Adobe is fully updated. Safari is fully updated. Chrome is fully updated. Videos will not play on websties such as CNN, CBC. Music will not play on websites such as Sound Cloud.
YouTube and Netflix work fine.

You're dealing with two different plug-ins.
Flash Player (Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin)
and "PepperFlash" (Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/34.0.1847.116/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlash/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin)
And NetFlix uses the Microsoft SilverLight plug-in.
From SoundCloud support:
Why can't I hear tracks using Safari?
If you can't hear tracks on SoundCloud using Safari, please go to Safari ---> Preferences ---> Advanced ---> and un-check "Stop plugins to save power." Like this:
If YouTube works, it may be doing so in HTML5 mode which requires no plug-in. Do you use Apple's Firewall or (please say you don't) anti-virus?

Ipad music videos wont play

I have an Ipad 2 with latest updates, but now when I sync, no music videos will play on the Ipad and no music video icon is in the playlist , however the song will play?? Any help please?? PS all works well on the Iphone 4

I also have an Ipad 2 with the latest software. I reciently purchased the beatles album Let it Be, and Abbey Road.
Both have a documentary track that includes video. I only get the audion on the Ipad. But, i have an ITouch 1st. generation with 3.1.3. The documentary tracks play the video as well as the audio.
I have made sure that the sync for the IPad has Sync all music selected as well as Include music videos, and Include voice memos.
I have seen a lot of issues with the Music app discussed with the latest OS. They all seem to focus on issues with album art size and music not playing. I dont seem to have that problem. Anyone know if this is an additional problem with the new OS?, or is there some other setting I havent found?
Thanks for any help.

3.1.3 double clicking home button when music is not playing

Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? For me, it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.3?

Jeong-hun Sin, 3.1.3 has the same issue, and I do not think Apple is ever going to fix this issue. They still haven't even fixed the live updating playlist sort order issue...
roaminggnome he's referring to a pop-up controls issue that has been talked about on this forum ever since the release of the 3.1 firmware.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151438
In 3.0 and older versions, if you're in an app/game you can double-click the home-button to access the iPod pop-up controls to resume the playback of a song/podcast that had been previously paused/stopped.
In 3.1, if a song had been previously paused you cannot launch the pop-up conrols to resume the playback of the song. You're forced to exit the app that you might be in (lets say safari, or a game), and then resume playback using the music app.
Jeong-hun Sin, I upgraded to 3.1.3 a few days ago, and have found a few improvements:
- Many 3D games are MUCH smoother/faster under 3.1.3, than 3.0. I downgraded back to 3.0 just to see if I was just imagining things, but games like Coconut-racer, and Asphalt 5 were not as smooth as they were under 3.1.3.
- If you happen run apps that have live video streaming where the video playback controls do not appear (e.g the BBC world, Al Jazeera news, sure there's more), the iPod Touch no longer randomly reboots when using those apps.

Music is not playing on ipod 80gig on pc or head phones, an exclamation mark does show

I have an older generation Ipod 80 gig...some 13500 songs are currently not playing through head phones when I select say an album. It just flips from one to the next to the next song as listed in the album. The same happens if I select a playlist.
If I try to open a song whilst the ipod is connected to my windows pc the song does not play - an exclamation mark comes up against the file selected.
How can I get my ipod to return to playing the songs within.
Thanks

I have a similar problem.
I just bought 2 albums (Pirates of the Caribean III and Linkin Park - Mintues to midnight) and every time I want to play one of the songs it asks me for my account password. After entering it, it says this computer was activated. But it still doesn't work!!
If I want to sync I get the same message:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod"
I've also bought a iPod-Game (Mahjong) and have the same problem...
I have a 80GB video iPod.

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..Thank u for your help.

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

- 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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Song preview does not play

The song preview does not play although I have a high speed internet access and the account on my computer is activated.
All purchased songs can be played without problems. Deactivating windows firewall and my virus scanner (GData) does not help.
Does anybody have an idea?

Previews didn't work the first day Sarah Brightman's new album hit the Music Store. The next day, they worked. I think it's temporary glitch with the store from time to time.
