How to get full playlist to play

I just installed my Apple TV. I immediately wanted to simply play a playlist from my iTunes library. I selected the playlist I wanted, and pressed play on the remote. It played ONLY the first song, then stopped. In order to hear any other songs I had to manually select them from the playlist and hit play every time. How pointless. Is there a way to get it to play the entire thing? There is nothing in the "manual", and nothing online. It seems the ONLY concern people have with the Apple TV is watching things, so that's the only information provided. There's nothing about how to use the music side of it.

Haha .. I have seen one million post on this issue since 7.1 was released. Everybody hates it and it is perhaps Apple's stupidest design decision. I, personally, happen to like it ... or not mind it as much either way, I should say.
But that's not what you asked ... Apple thought it was best for some odd reason to change the full screen pics to an itty bitty circle. As a previous poster said, it cannot be changed. But be sure to go to Apple's feedback website and let them know you are unhappy about it. I sense an iOS 7.1.1 coming out REAL soon!

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

    Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song.  It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white.  It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

    Does anyone out there know how to get a movie to play on the Apple TV that was rented through Apple TV?

    It's not going to show under purchases because it's a rental. You have to go into settings - iTunes - check for rental.
    Note: a rental will disappear once it's expired (after 24hrs or 48 hrs depending on location)

    Thanks again for you help.  I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes.  Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad.  I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs.   Anyway, long process but it worked.  Thanks again.

  • I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

    I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
    Thanks

    Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.
    Regards.

  • How do I get my playlists to play one song and than stop?

    I am trying to use my iphone to play songs in a playlist for a presentation. However, I don't want the playlist to AUTOMATICALLY jump to the next song after the previous one has finished playing; I want to manually control that function on my iphone, similar to how you uncheck boxes on your itunes playlist so that the playlist will not automatically play the next song.
    Does anyone have any advice for me on how to do this?

    You're welcome.
    Unless you select repeat or shuffle, a playlist will play straight through in the order the songs are in the playlist beginning with the first song that you select. If you have shuffle enabled, shuffle will begin after the first song plays that you select.
    If you have sync only checked songs and video selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, any song deselected in a playlist that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone will not be transferred to your iPhone with the playlist. iTunes is doing as you've selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. After the songs in a playlist are transferred to your iPhone, what I provided in the first paragraph applies.
    With sync only checked songs and video selected, this way you can remove a song from your iPhone without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes. You may not want the song removed from the playlist in iTunes but you want the song removed from the playlist on your iPhone.

  • Satellite L775-13D: How to get full screen playing Blu-ray on TV

    Hello,
    I want to play bluray DVDs direct from my laptop to my LG 42inch plasma. I can connect via HDMI but a small portion of the sides and bottom are cut off on the TV. How do I make the image play on my TV without any quality loss as if I had a bluray player connected to my TV? Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    >no, i have the picture on the laptop and tv.
    Try to setup the output only to TV and check if the external resolution is set to the same resolution which is supported by TV. I assume the TV supports the full HD resolution which is: 1920x1080px

  • HT204291 How to get full screen display in AirPlay mirroring on Apple TV?

    Hi there,
    I am using airplay from my iPad (new). Mirroring doe not utilize 100% of my screen width. There is always 3 inches of screen initialized on either side.
    I tried using all the screen resolution of video in settings it does not help. Ting to note is that the problem is occurring only for mirroring. If I play videos directly in YouTube on Apple TV I get full display. Any reason how to resolve this to achieve full screen and 100% Mirroring?

    No there is no way to Mirror full screen from an iOS device to the Apple TV. iOS devices are not 16:9 like your HDTV so the mirrored image appears as the size your iOS device would be if it were the size of your TV. Hope that makes sense.

  • My ipod touch syncs no problem, I cannot figure out how to get my playlists or songs to stay on my ipod. I can get them onto itunes from my computer. I know how through homeshare but then they disappear as soon as I turn off the comp obviously. Thanks:)

I feel like I am missing something simple, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again
