IPhone 3G randomly plays song list, can't stop it

My iPhone 3G has recently stopped playing albums or playlists sequentially. It goes into a random shuffle mode, though there isn't any apparent icon that states it's in random mode. How do I stop this so I can listen an album straight through?

I have the very same problem. As does a friend who recently purchased a new iPod Touch.
When I look at the screen and compare it to the iPod instruction manual, I can see that there's a line of controls missing. Under the scrubber/volume bar, there are NO Repeat/Shuffle/Genius buttons. So we can't turn shuffle on or off while playing a song/album.
All my software is update to date in iTunes and on my iPhone. Has anyone else had this problem? It's really, really annoying not to be able to play an album all the way through.

    Try force-closing the Music app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Music in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again, then try to play your music again.

  • Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

    why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?  The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot.  Can anyone advise me please.  It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

    What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

  • IPhone 4 iOS5 plays songs over 6min. only 2min30sec then stops

    After installing iOS5 on my iPhone 4 i used the music-app for the first time ever. But i can only play song, if they are not longer than 6min.
    Songs, that are longer than 6min. stop playing after 2min30sec. and if they are over 9min long, it stops after 4min.
    If i jump over this point using the time bar, songs stop 30sec. later.
    I´ve made a restore of the complete iPhone and the music database, but the result is still the same.
    What can i do?

    Sorry, but the hard reset did not help. Now the songs stop after 2min.27sec.
    When the iPhone is connected with the PC and i play the songs with iTunes it works, but not with the app on the phone :-((

  • TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

    I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play?  The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod.  Help?  Thanks.

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • NEED HELP! Can't print song list...stops halfway!?

    I can print a jewel-case insert and an album listing, but for some odd reason, whenever I try to print a song list (like a cd for example) it stops printing halfway! Can anyone help? I have tried saving it as a pdf file, still stops halfway. I have also tried restarting both my computer and printer.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    The problem is that when I print a jewel case insert, the song list comes out all skrunched up. I notified Apple, they are aware of problem...as of 6 weeks ago. The problem was verified and duplicated by them. Just try printing a jewel case insert with the songs of one of your playlists....you'll see what it does! It started after the last up date for me. It was ok before that. I know because I did a system restore to a date before the update and it worked. Then I tried doing the update again and the problem started up again. If only I could resort to the version before the last!

  • IPhone will not play songs that previously worked. Red circle with stop square in the middle.

    What should i do to get my iphone to find these songs again. They work fine on itunes, and as i said, they used to work fine on my phone. recently I synced my phone and added a few new songs, once i did that i noticed that about 50-100 different songs or so just no longer play. this is ********! It seems the iphone thinks theyre there but not fully transfered to my phone.... ive resynced my phone several times and its still not helping.... WAY TO GO APPLE!

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings via iTunes and then to re-sync.
    Before you attempt this, restart your iPhone and see whetehr issue is sorted.
