Always plays the same song

When I want to listen to one of my play list (on shuffle or not) it always plays the same song over and over and does not go to the next song in the list.
I tried re-initiating my ITouch but it has not solved the problem. I also downloadeded the 3.o version of Itunes and the new upgrade in case that was the problem. Still an issue.
Any advice?

you haven't got the 'repeat' button selected by accident have you? (sounds daft but people have done it before and not realised)
tap the screen while music is playing to bring up these controls.
under the time and scrubber bar on the left handside, see those arrows? if they are blue (tapped once) it will repeat the whole sequence of songs (an album, a playlist, etc.) tap it again a '1' will appear on them. this repeats the current thing playing. tap it again to remove these settings.
the arrows on the right will be highlighted blue when it's set to shuffle.
the arrows on the left highlighted when it's set to repeat.

  • Odd iTunes glitch -- always plays the same song, after the song I selected...

    After one song plays on iTunes, it always next plays one particular song -- not the next song on the list, but a specific track, every time. I'd like iTunes to simply play the next track down. How can I fix this?... thanks very much --

    Do you have the the Repeat feature turned one? It is the arrowed racetrack on the left side of the Now Playing Screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it is white for no repeat.

  • Playlist shuffle always plays the same few songs

    I got a playlist that has roughly 250 songs. Everytime I connect my Ipod to charge it, then disconnect and start the playlist on shuffle mode, there's always a 20 to 30 songs playing first. If I close my Ipod and start the playlist again (still on it most of the time), it shows 1 of 250 and plays the same songs, but not in the same exact order (though sometimes it does for 2 or 3 songs). Just like if the shuffle was on "low" mode or something. It's still choose randomly some song here and there, but not that much since it the same few, ALL THE TIME for a while. The only way to get around this is to connect my Ipod to my computer again (it reset it somehow) or leave it open all the time so it knows wich song has been played (but that's terribly stupid). Is there any other way to go around that shuffling loop? I found myself skipping most of the time since I always hear the same few songs even though there's some songs in the playlist I've never ever played on the Ipod. Is there a way to set the "priority" (like play the most higher rated song first) or the "intensity" (from low to high) of the shuffle?
    Got the last 7th gen. Ipod Nano.

    On the iPod's Now Playing screen, there is a Shuffle button.  The symbol looks like two arrows crossing.  Is that set to ON? 
    I ask this because shuffing a playlist should NOT always put the same 20-30 songs at the top of the list. Shuffle means a randomly ordered list is created and played.  If the original playlist is in a somewhat random playlist order to begin with, playing it in play-in-order mode may seem like it is shuffling, even though the iPod is playing the list in playlist order.  And the same songs would be at the top of the list every time, because the iPod not shuffling the list.
    Sorry if that's too basic, but I need to ask the obvious question first, and that question is, IS is the iPod actually set to shuffle songs?

  • ITunes plays the same song over and over again.

    I have created several playlists on my Itunes for Windows.  I want the songs to play at Random...but it plays the same song over and over again.  If I hit the random button, it will play a different song, but it will then play that song over and over and over again.  So, if I want to go to the next song, there is always a requirement that I manually set it to the next song.
    It's odd because I have been using Itunes while listening to music on my computer and this never happened before.
    Any thoughts?

    Sounds like you have the repeat single track selected
    This may help explain it

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

  • 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.

    Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

  • How do I make all my apple devices play the same song at the same time?

    I went to a party once and one of their family members was in charge of music. They used iTunes on a laptop and used their wifi hub with itunes, they then had all Apple devices connected to the laptop (through wifi) and played the same song in every room. How did they do it? If so please let me know as I have a party coming up soon!
    thanks

    Yes, if you want to.
    You can buy any of these, or other devices as long as they say they are AirPlay compatible and they will work.
    and then it would work for all round the house or do I have to buy one for every room?
    It will work whenever your wifi signal is.
    If you want music in a room, you need something for that room. Or turn up the volume and hear it in the next room also...

  • My apple tv continues to play the same song from a playlist that is on shuffle.

    My apple tv continues to play the same song from a playlist that is on shuffle. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

    I do not see anything there. I have a left arrow and song title on top with a list icon.  Nothing on the bottom but the direction arrows, pause button and volume.

  • 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.

  • Autofill always choosing the same songs ?

    Hi all,
    I'm the happy owner of a 2G iPod nano (first generation) that I was given a few weeks ago. I'm using it together with iTunes 9.0.1 on my mac, and I have a question about the autofill feature.
    Is it normal that autofill always chooses the same songs out of my library to fill the ipod with ? No matter what I do to those tracks (listen to them on the ipod, try do delete them in "manual" mode), they always come back when I sync with autofill. I do have quite a substantial amount of other tracks that I like as well, but it feels like autofill picked once and for all the tracks it likes most
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Sorry about that ; "rude" is not the word I should have used ; "abrupt", maybe, would be closer to how I felt. And yes, my ipod is actually a 2GB one (2G was a typo).
    Let me explain a bit more what I'm trying to achieve, and what I wanted autofill to do automagically for me
    My itunes library is abuot 35GB, so there is more than enough music to choose from. This is also why I am sometimes not creative enough when it comes to filling my ipod: I choose a few albums that I know I want to hear, I sync my podcasts, but all that often leaves me with maybe half a gig left on the ipod.
    When I discovered autofill I was very happy because it chose stuff for me to top up the ipod, and so I ended up with plenty of good surprises : albums that I actually like, and had not listened to for a while. But when I synced the ipod again and again, I realised that autofill did not surprise me any more ; it only chooses high-rated albums and that's it. This is why I asked (naively, it seems) if this was normal behaviour.
    But if it autofill cannot do it (what a shame, that really would be a killer feature) I suppose I'll have to write it myself with smart playlists. I'll post my answer here in case people are interested. the hardest point will be to make these playlists select whole albums. We'll see.
    Cheers,

    The only solution seems to be using a third-party application like NanoFibre

  • My new iPhone 4GS won't switch songs when playing music. It just plays the same song over and over again. Is there a fix for this?

    When I try to play music on my phone, it won't switch songs -- just plays the same song over and over again. This is true whether shuffle is turned on or not. How do I make this stop? This phone is brand new!

  • TS5181 Why does iTunes Radio play the same songs over and over?

    I've been listening to the Chill Out Jazz station at work and love it, but it keeps playing the same songs over and over now...for weeks.  Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've found the same thing on the 80's channels...they just play the same 15 or 20 songs over and over.

    There is a Repeat setting.  It can be set to repeat ONE (repeat current song), ALL (repeat current list), or OFF (do not repeat).  It is probably set for ONE.
    On the nano's Now Playing screen, there is a symbol that looks the two arrows in a loop.  You may need to swipe the screen to see it.  Tap that button to change the Repeat setting.

  • Somehow i/o playing the songs from my library in scrambled fashion...it keeps playing the SAME song...I can't find how to scramble the playing.

    When I listen to ITunes now...the playlist isn't scrambled anymore....it plays the SAME song over and over. I can't find how to change it.

    Are you also restoring from your backup? That sounds like what is happening or someone else has your Apple ID.
    A backup to iCloud would have no way to add UK holidays to your calendar. Open Calendar, tap on Calendars at the bottom middle of the page and untick the ones you don't want.
