Can iTouch remember last song played?

I have bunch of albums on my iPod Touch 2 and it seems whenever I switch to watch a movie, it doesn't remember last song it played. I know it can remember position in the song, but can I make it remember which album and which track it was playing last?

No, however you can create Smart Playlist that can help you continue to play stuff you haven't played in a while. Just make a new Smart Playlist like so...
The "200" can be changed to any number you prefer, but something larger gives you more of a random selection when shuffling.
So what happens is the playlist is filled with the 200 tracks that either haven't ever been played or have been the longesst since they last played. As you play out of this playlist, once a song finished, it becomes the MOST recently played, falls out of the playlist and is replaced by something else that hasn't been played the longest.
So when you shut down and restrart, this playlist assured you that you are only listening to stuff you haven't heard in a while and nothing will cycle back into that list until you have gone through all but the last 200 songs in your library. e.g. if you have 1000 songs it won't be until you go through 800 songs that the first 200 songs start to show up again.

Ipod on touch does not restart on last song played and no audio crossfade.

Every time I turn off or leave the ipod portion of my touch it loses the last song played. I find this irritating because then I always have to start form the beginning. Plus, unlike the Nano, the touch does not come with audio crossfade whick lets songs mis together. How hard can it be to update these two things with that... c'mon Apple!

How to keep track of last song played?

Hi!
Does anyone know how to keep track of which song played last time before itunes was closed? I have a big list of songs in my playlist and I play it everyday while I'm working. If I shut down my computer and start it again the next day, I have to manually look for the song I played the previous evening. Is there a way where it will keep track of the last song and play it from that?
Thanks
JB

Subwaygirl, welcome to the Mac family! I'm not sure whether you're asking about beginning to play from the last song played on your iPod or iTunes so I'll answer both.
From the iPod, simply hit Play and it will begin at the next song. It cannot go back to the last song played.
From iTunes, use my answer to Chris to add the Last Played column, sort by that and select the song at the top of the list. That is your most recently played song. If you hit the >> or Next button you will then go to the next song in the randomly-sorted list.

My iPhone 4 no longer plays some songs since iOS5 update, how can i get these songs playing again

So ever since I installed iOS5 onto my iPhone 4, some of my music wont play (not all, but some), what will happen is, while on shuffle, my music will play a song normally, then get to a song that it for some reason cannot play and either
a) plays another song, without changing the information about the song, then when the second song is finished playing under the first song's name, it gets to the second song's actual information and stops playing and moves to option b
b) does not play the song, does not skip the song, but has the play icon in the corner next to the battery, but it doesn't show any time going by on the progress bar of the song, but drains my battery
when i shake my iPhone after this (i.e. activates the automatic shuffle) if it happens to land on a song it can play, it skips to the next song.
It is incredibly inconvienient, and i understand that a new operating systems do have bugs, but I would like to be able to fix it as soon as possible
thanks for the help

I found a solution recently, (and well, this is the only apple product I own, so i didn't think to post it) basically what you do is follows
when your iphone is plugged in and you have itunes open, go to the phone page, then to the music page, select sync with library, but then select certain playlists. After that select none of the playlists (removing the music from your phone) and sync, then sync again with the playlists you want selected, and voila! Takes an hour or 2, but you can do it in the background of whatever else you are doing.
Cheers

Can't stop a song playing

There is not a stop button, can pause ff rew but can't stop. Have to shut the phone off.

Pause is stop on the iphone.
When you hit "pause" does the song not stop?

What is the process to update song plays count ?

Hi,
i'm using iTunes Match on 5 devices : 2 windows, iPad, iPhone and MacBook
Everything is ok, sync is perfect for new songs i add anywhere.
If i rate a song, it appears rated the same way on all other devices in a fex seconds.
BUT
what is the process to update the song plays count ?
because it doesn't seem to sync correctly.
I have updated song plays count by scripts on one iTunes and it doesn't update at all anywhere else. I havez tried to "Update iTunes Match" and it just brought back the old song plays counts.
How can i update the song plays and make the value change on all devices ?
Thanks

In the music app, my phone has suddenly frozen. I can't get it to move off from the last song it played. How can I clear this?

I love listening to music on my iPhone, but suddenly yesterday, after playing the last song on an album, it just froze. I can move back to music menu, forward or even play the same album again. It's just stuck. Does anyone know how to clear it?

Perform a Reset... Try again...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

How can I get the songs on my iPhone to play since updating to iOS 5.1.1?

Hi guys,
I have an iPhone 3Gs and I've imported CD's into iTunes on my mac mini and synced it with my iPhone. Since I installed the latest iOS on my iPhone, some of the songs don't play all the way through, they skip to the next song. I listened to the songs in my iTunes library and each song plays through. Last night I tried to resolve the issue by removing the songs from my iPhone, syncing it again and adding the songs but it didn't work.
Can anyone tell me what steps I need to take to resolve this issue?
Thanks Guys :-)

Anybody?

How can I get my ipod to list the "album artist" instead of "artist" in the music menu, but still show the artist with the featured artist when a song plays?

For example, I am putting Kanye West's album "808's & Heartbreak" on my ipod. The track "Amazing" features Young Jeezy. So in iTunes, I list the track name as "Amazing", the artist as "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy", the album artist as "Kanye West", and the album as "808's & Heartbreak". What I want is for my iPod to have a list of album artists instead of artists, so that I can find the song "Amazing" under "Kanye West" instead of "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy" or "808's & Heartbreak".
And when the song plays, it should say:
Amazing
Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy
808's & Heartbreak
Is there a way I can do that? I tried using the "album artist" field thinking it would do what I wanted to do, but it didnt. I also tried using the "sort artist" field and typed "Kanye West" in there, but that didnt work either. I wish iTunes was simpler and easier or atleast CAME WITH A MANUAL. Any help would be greatly appreciated THanks

Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones? You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack. Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage. You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

What steps do I need to take for the iPod mini to remember the last song?

What steps to I have to take for my iPod mini to remember the last song that I played from an album when I turn it on again, after I have turned it off.
Whenever I turn my iPod mini off, it seems to go back to the main menue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how long you are leaving it turned off. If it's more than enough time for the iPod to go into deep sleep, then when next you turn it on, it restarts with the Apple logo and returns to the main menu.
If it's only for a few hours that you leave it turned off, then the iPod should resume from the point at which you left it.
I don't know for sure whether the "remember playback position" in iTunes works after the iPod has been in deep sleep.

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out. How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Nano6: Remember what songs in shuffled playlist have been played after turning off?

If I'm listening to a playlist on my Nano6, and it's set to "shuffle," if I pause and then turn my iPod off, will it "remember" which songs in the list have already played when I turn it back on? Or will it shuffle through even those songs already played?
Thanks

Is there any way to do this?
No.
Is there any quick (one or two clicks) way to toggle shuffle option from "off" to "songs"?
No.
