Alums only play one song, then stop

I recently purchased Itune Christmas albums and also loaded my own Christmas albums. It plays one song on the album and returns to menue on all these new loaded music. All songs are on the IPOD, it just does not proceed to next song on album. Please help!

Are the songs on the CD from different artists?
If so, then if you are going into MUSIC -> ARTIST -> Christmas CD and hitting PLAY, it will play the songs from THAT ARTIST on THAT CD, probably only one.
What you'd have to do is go on your iPod: MUSIC -> ALBUM -> Christmas CD. By doing this, you'll play every song from that album regardless of artist.

  • New or modified iTune playlists only play one song then stop.

    My wife changed the settings on iTunes last night.  New, or modified playlists only play current songs then stop.  Existing playlists work normally.

  • How to play one song then stop on iPhone?

    iTunes playlist on my computer can play one song then stop because there is the uncheck all songs feature, but apparently iPhone doesn't have the same feature.
    Need to play one song then have it stop instead of going to another song in the playlist. Creating 20+ single-song playlists is inefficient.
    I know there is the Play on Cue app for $1.99 but why should I have to have another app on my phone do what iTunes on my computer already does built-in (play one song then stop)?

    "Creating 20+ single-song playlists is inefficient." Please read next time.

    Why does my apple tv play one song then stops streaming?

    Make sure all of your songs have a checkmark next to the song title. There are small blue boxes that need to be checked for songs to play consecutively.
    If the library is unchecked, you can easily recheck things by clicking on a song, going to the top line selecting Edit>Select All, then right clicking on the selection and choosing "Check Selection".

  • Play one song then stop

    I'm trying to find a way for a 25 foot tall sculpture of Elvis standing in a jukebox to play one Elvis hit song randomly by being activated by a motion detector. Can the iPod Shuffle be activated to play just one song, then stop or turn off. Then be activated again, by the motion detector, and play another single randomly selected song and then stop or turn off, waiting to be activated again by the motion detector?
    I was hoping the iPod shuffle would be able to do this, being the least expensive iPod. I've tried reading the online manuals and help files, but I can't find any info about whether it could accomplish this one-random-song-play-and-then-stop feature.

    Since a shuffle has mechanical controls (buttons) for controlling its play, it would seem to be poor choice for this purpose... ALTHOUGH a 1st Gen shuffle AND a speaker system which specifically interfaced (dockable) to it with external controls that included a remote would work. As would any iPod which is remotely controllable...

  • IPhone-only play one song then quits. After update

    My Phone seems to have a problem where it only plays one song out of a playlist and maybe 2 seconds out of the next song and it quits the program and goes to the home page. The audio books don't seem to remember to start where they quit also. Worked fine before upgrade. Haven't tried to reset phone yet. Thanks for help.

    Upon resyncing with my laptop this am the bug seemes to be gone and both problems have corrected them selfs. All songs play like they should and the audio books do remember where they stopped at.

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time ... help please

    All of my songs are checked, but iTunes only plays one song at a time. I can't figure out why. Any suggestions? It just started doing this.

    You don't mean you want it to play multiple tracks at the same time, do you? Like where you would hit play and ALL the songs would start playing at the same time?
    Or do you mean iTunes will only play one song then stop rather than going on to the next one?

  • ITunes only playing one song at a time

    Since the 7.6 upgrade in January, my iTunes is only playing one song before stopping. Do I need to reinstall? Will wiping out the instance of iTunes on my PC blow away my music or video libraries?
    Thanks in advance

    just curious, I have a large library (over 6K songs) and I used to have them all 'checked' so I could play until my hearts content...now, all the checkmarks are gone. I really don't want to click all 6K song titles and when I 'select all' it doesn't add a checkmark. I searched the knowledge base, but a solution to this simple request seems to be evading me.
    Can you provide me any suggestions to get ALL my songs with a checkmark?

  • After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

    after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

    First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
    If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
    Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

  • ITunes will only play one song at a time!

    Can anyone help me? I've just swapped all my iTunes data to a new laptop and everything seems to be running fine, only when I click on a song in my library, it only plays that one then stops. How do I make it play the lot?
    Thanks in advance

    Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - control-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time, it wont play my playlist or library

    all of a sudden my itunes will only play one song and then stop and when i press the "next" button, it just stops the song playing. and now there are check boxes in front of each song and i dont know what it means? i just want to be able to put my library on shuffle and play through them!!

    The check boxes have been there for as long as I can remember. You can see them in screenshots back as far as iTunes 1: iTunes Screenshots
    The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
    The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
    Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

  • My iPod only plays one song at a time

    I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
    So far, so good.
    The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
    How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

  • Since update iTunes will only play one song at a time.

    I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it. iTunes will only play one song and then it's done. It won't continuously play from my libray. I have over 5000. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just can't find the solution. I even click on the next button and it stops.

    Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.

  • My iTunes only plays one song

    All of a sudden, my iTunes will only play one song and then stop. I have to choose each song to make it play. Any clues?

    Select all of the songs and right-click (or control click) and choose the option to check selection. It should put the check back on all of them.I think you can also shift click or command click in the box and it will do the same. (not sure on that)

  • Only Plays One Song at a Time ???

    I'm trying to listen to albums in my library but iTunes will only play one song at a time, very annoying to have to down arrow and click play after every song. How can I make iTunes play through my library without stopping?
    I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) and YES all the songs are checked.
    Thanks~

    <SOLVED>
    I disabled the Ping drop-down from the Terminal with:
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown -bool TRUE
    and viola! Now my library plays without stopping after just one song. Not sure why this fixed my problem but it did? I guess it's just another reason to get rid of Ping!
