Can I play tracks one at a time?

I use my ipod to audio tracks (podcasts) during boardroom presentations. I want to play one track at a time and then say a few words before playing the next track. The only way to pause between tracks is to hit the pause button. Otherwise the next track launches immediately after the first. Trying to hit the pause button at the right time is and clumsy. Is it possible to programme the ipod to play only one track at a time?

Thanks Diane. This is very helpful. And it works! The only downside is that after playing each track, the Ipod then backtracks by 3 'steps' to the Music selection. This means I have to make 2 clicks ("playlists" then "folder") before I see the list of audio clips again. This is not a major problem. But I wonder whether it is possibly to avoid being sent going so far back in the menu?
Thanks again for your help.. it really does make a huge difference.

  • Can you play podcasts one at a time on 6th gen iPod Nano?

    I've seen this question asked a few times, but I wanted to throw in my two cents.
    My 4th gen Classic and my 1st gen Nano both would allow me to play one podcast episode at a time. This was useful if I had several episodes of one podcast and fell asleep listening to one, the iPod wouldn't continue playing the other episodes, it would just stop playing at the end of the episode I was listening to.
    The 6th gen Nano I just got will automatically play the next podcast episode when the one you are listening to is finished. I perfer the old behavior of my 1st gen Nano. Is there any way to change the behavior of the 6th gen without using smart playlists or the sleep timer (I think those are kind of clunky work arounds)?
    If not, then I would like to make a feature request. The button on the left of the podcast play screen that toggles between "play one after another then stop", "play same episode over and over", and "play all episodes over and over" should have one more setting: "play this episode and then stop".
    It sounds like a pretty easy feature to add. What does everyone else think? Do you want this too?

    I looked for this feature when I changed from my now-dead Classic 160 to 6th generation Nano, but I never got a good answer. Personally, I'd rather have a setting to allow this, rather than using the sleep/wake button, because I use that for play/pause. In the old Classic, you would choose to shuffle albums if you wanted continuous play from one track to the next, and you would turn shuffle off to stop at the end of a podcast (or maybe it was the other way around—I can't remember off hand). That's not as clear as a "continue or stop" control (which would be great), but at least it worked. I don't know if that's something they can add with a software update, but it would make for a better user experience.

  • Playing Tracks one At a Time In ITunes

    Hi.
    I am a totally blind person who uses ITunes. I noticed that when playing a track from an album I have purchased from the ITunes store, it plays the rest of the tracks from that album as one playlist, rather than just playing one track at a time.
    Is there a way to set ITunes to play one track at a time instead of as a playlist? If so, is there someone out there who is also visually impaired that uses ITunes for Windows and this forum that could possibly provide me with step by step instructions using key strokes on how to fix this problem?
    Please let me know whenever possible. Thank you very much.

    Beside the songs in iTunes are little check boxes. If songs are unchecked then they have to be clicked on individually to play them. So by unchecking you can play songs individually and not have them play one after another. Holding down the CRTL (Control) key and clicking beside any song in a list or library will toggle the check marks in the boxes on or off.

  • My iphone has broken and I had songs that I had purchased on there that I had not yet backed up on my computer. apparently you can download the tracks one more time free of charge does anybody know how??

    how do you re download tracks that are on a broken iphone???

    apparently you can download the tracks one more time free of charge does anybody know how??"
    Not true.  You get one and only one download.
    In some instances, itunes has allowed another download to a few.  This is not the norm.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
    Hope all goes well.

    I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue.  On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
    With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting.  It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually.  Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
    This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast.  I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes.  It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds.  This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
    Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • IPod Plays Podcasts one at a time

    I just updated my 4G iPod to V3.1 with the current updater & I am using iTunes 4.9.
    Currently, I am only able to play one podcast at a time.
    It will not go to the next podcast on it's own. Pressing FWD (>) to what should be the next podcast instead takes me back to the main menu. I then have to go through the the menu to get back to play the next podcast.
    My iPod was able to go the next podcast both on it's own & by pressing FWD (>) before I updated the iPod but not know.
    My iPod does play songs one after the other as it always did.
    It looks like this is the way it is as I can not find any settings to get it to play podcast's one after the other.
    Can any one help?

    Thanks for the guess.
    Shuffle was already off.
    Only 1 of several podcasts show up in the Genre "Podcast" despite the fact there are other podcasts with "Podcast" as the Genre as listed in iTunes.
    So I am now only able to play podcasts one at a time. After each one, the iPod takes me back to the main menu no matter what I do.
    This situation is new, & only started after I updated to V3.1. With the previous version, I was able to play podcasts one after the other.
    All my Podcasts do show up in the Podcast play list.
    I think we need another solution.

  • I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

    I have an ipad 2 and I noticed I have over 3000 emails in All Mail. I want to know how can I delete these emails. It looks like you can only do it one at a time. It will take me forever. Please help me.

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

  • I am trying adobe Photoshop and adobe illustrator because I can't decide which one to buy so I want to try both, after I downloaded Photoshop I can not see the option "free trial" for adobe Illustrator, it is because I can only free try one at the time??

    Bryan,
    You can download both at the same time.
    But you may wish to start off with one and use it full time, then download the other later, so you get the maximum possible time with both.
    If you have trouble getting the free trial on the Adobe site, you may try here or here:

  • HT4363 Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one.  Tv menu won't let me choose both locations.  How do I correct this?  ITunes Home Sharing is on.  Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • I can only delete photos one at a time.  Why?

    Why can't I delete multiple photos after they've been moved to trash?  I can't empty the trash.  If I put them into trash one at a time and empty it one at a time, it works. 
    There must be an easy trick to deleting lots of photos, all at once.
    Help, anyone?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I can only import bookmarks one at a time?

    When I navigate to my favorites folder it only lets me select one at a time? I have hundreds to import. How can I do the whole folder??? Control/select & shift/select won't work to select the list.
    My old computer was backed up online including favorites. I downloaded them onto the new computer but firefox won't let me select more than one at a time with either the import or restore functions.

    Export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • HT204411 i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me  do one at a time  please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

    i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me  do one at a time  please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

    There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen but for some reason that has been removed from the current version of iTunes so you will need to buy each item individually. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Can I play tracks from my iPod via Airport Express on only from my laptop?

    I can play tracks from my laptop thorugh my Bose Lifestyle  Airport Express.  Is there a way to play tracks from my iPod Touch through my Bose system via Airport Express?   My Airport Express is set up as a client to my Sky Broadband wireless router.

    I set up my laptop to my Bose Lifestyle System via Airport Express. It may be different for MAC but I just downloaded the Airport Express software and followed the on-screen set-up procedure, which includes entering your WI-FI key.  I do not have an iPad.  You need to select Airport Express in iTunes as your sound media. This is easily switched by an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.  You will need to switch this back if you want to revert to using the laptop speakers.
