Instead of playing a song a "add to up next" window pops up

I installed itunes 11.0.1.12 for windows and imported music files. Previously an older version of itunes was used. Now it drives me crazy. Whenever I doubleclick on a song to play it or choose play (NOT play next) in the menu, a window "add to up next" opens, stating 'You are about to start playback. Do you want to clear the 222 songs previously added to Up Next: Play song, Clear song, Cancel‘.
I want itunes to start playing a song right away without troubleing me each time with this pop-up. What can I do?
Help is highly appreciated. I am not a native speaker, so incase the problem is unclear or further information is needed I will do my best to clarify.

Problem soved, was a translation problem. I chose "Clear songs" and it is alright now. In the German version I am using the pop-up message was misleading and it looked like all songs would be deleted and not just cleared from the next up list.

Does this downloaded track play okay in iTunes?  How do you know that the song is on the device?

  • While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

    I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?  I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

    Hello nowrunning,
    Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings?  To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

  • ITunes not playing full songs before going to the next

    Like, I have a song here that is 5:49 minutes long. It plays until 3:21 then suddenly skips to the next. This has been happenning to a lot of the songs on my library - not the ones I added a long time ago, but the ones I've added recently. I first noticed it when I added the Homestuck albums I purchased from the Homestuck bandcamp page. First I thought there was something wrong with the files, then I noticed it was happening to all other songs I'd recently added to my library as well (also, none of the other people purchasing the albums seemed to have this issue).
    Some cases are different than others. In some songs, it really only plays till a certain point and then skips to the next; no matter what I do, I can't access the rest of the song at all. For others, it plays until a certain point and then stops, and if I manually skip a few seconds ahead, I manage to get it to play the rest. Some songs have the issue on both my computer and my iPod, others don't work on iTunes but for some reason work on my iPod.
    When I first started getting this issue, my iTunes wasn't in the latest version, so I thought maybe if I updated and installed the most recent version it would fix the issues, but there was no change.
    I also tried converting the MP3's to AAC through iTunes, and the result is that it cuts off the final part of the song. For an instance, that 5:49 minute song that only played till 3:21 results in a 3:21 AAC file.
    The songs play fine on other media players.
    I've searched for other people with this problem, and only found people who have an issue on their iPhone but the songs work on their computer. I have an issue on both my computer and my iPod. I really want to solve this because it's seriously annoying.

    This same thing is happening to my library while playing on my MacBook.  The files are NOT currupt and play fine in QuickTime player.

  • Every time I click to play a song in my music library, the one after plays instead of the one I chose

    This issue occured a couple hours agp. Basically, every time i go to click a song in my music library, instead of playing the song that I chose, it plays the one after instead. This is getting extremely annoying and frustrating and I would really appreciate help.
    Thank you.

    My best guess would be to reset the iPod by holding the home and power button for about 15 seconds or until Apple logo appears. No data will be lost in this reset.
    Other than that, I do not know what the cause could be.

  • Why is it that when i tap a song in my music it plays the song 2 spaces above it?

    My iPhone 5 was almost out of storage so i was clearing music (not using data cable connected to computer) and when i started playing a certain song instead if playing that song it played the song 2 spaces above it. Can someone please tell me whats wrong, and give me a solution?

    Hi m.cohen1220,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If it is consistently selecting something away from the location of your tap, especially if it's happening in multiple apps, you may have an issue with the display response.

    It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
    The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
    It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

  • HT1391 I started download on my iphone and cancelled the same before it could complete. There is no option of removing the incomplete download and also it is affecting my songs in 'Music'. The next or previous song is being played instead of the song sele

    I started a download of a video in the app "Free gift for 12 days". I cancelled the download before it was completed. It is now affecting the music in my phone library, as the next or previous song is being played instead of the selected song. Any suggested solutions?
    I have an iPhone 5 wid the latest OS 7.0.4 installed.

    Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
    Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Itunes cannot play certain songs and will not add them to the library

    i have music files on both a hard drive connected to a router plus i have placed the specific files onto my mac to try to fix this issue to no avail.  while songbird, vox, and several other players will easily load correctly and do exactly what i want, itunes will not play these songs, will skip over them when i try to add to the library and will not play the file if i drag and drop, try to load it through the  "file, add to library" method.  the files are .ogg, .m4a, .mp3, .m4p, and they just will not show up. Any media players out there that will recognize an ipod so i can load these files up and get away from my mac for a while?

    @CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
    It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
    Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

  • I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives?

    I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives? Specifically the album is Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes and the song is DMT Song (feat. Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • I go to play a song in iTunes and a misic video plays instead.  Does anyone know how to correct this?

    I have been struggling for a week to get iTunes to work properly.  I go to play a song on iTunes, and a music video plays instead.  The program then locks up and plays nothing.  I have tried uninstalling, then reinstalling iTunes, but that hasn't helped either.  Your help would be greatly appreciated in trying to resolve this issue.

    Now instead of cycling through them, I'll select a song and it'll play and display artwork from another album. What's going on?? Please, help.

  • When playing music, at the end of a song, instead of playing the next song in an album, it repeats the song that was just played

    When playing music on an Ipod Nano, at the end of a song, instead of playing the next song in an album.  The previous song repeats.  Any help?

    Check the iTunes Playback preferences and see if the Crossfade Playback option is turned on. If it is, you can either uncheck it or alter the slider to a more pleasing setting.
    Hope this helps.
