IPhone doesn't play this one song?

iTunes keeps transferring this song to my iPhone with no problems at all, no error messages whatsoever. On iTunes it plays fine on my computer, but on my iPhone, I press the play button and it does not play, but the pause button continues to be shown as if it were playing. I tap on the screen to show the time bar slider thingy and it's totally stopped, the seconds aren't passing by its just like paused but the play symbol continues to be shown on the upper right corner of the screen. I've compared the sound file properties (windows) with other sound file properties and everything is exactly the same, they're all MP3s including this one that does not play, the sound density, or the bit rate or whatever is in the normal range as all the other songs, could someone please help me?

I can't play this one song without wifi?

I just recently bought the song "Best i Ever had'' by Gvain Degraw. Anytime I don't have wifi it doesn't work. The minute I do it works. It shows the song a gray color and it won't let me click/ play it. I did a shuffle and it went to that song and it says you have to have internet, but to me that's just weird. I have never had anything like this before. If you have any tips please tell me.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore.

ITunes doesn't play the next song, it just stops after one track.

I have iTunes 11.0.1. When I play a song in my playlist, I expect the next song to start as the first one ends, but iTunes stops and doesn't play the next song. I'm missing some sort of setting but what?
It's not a smart playlist, just a playlist of favorite music I've built up over the years.
Mountain Lion.

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

IPhone plays only one song at a time

After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.

THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

My playlist stops playing after one song.

My playlists have all the songs checked on my computer. Today my iPhone is playing only one song at a time on a playlist. When I try to click the "start" arrow to get the next tune playing, nothing happens. I have to log out of the playlist and then select it again. I've tried this with shuffle feature on and off - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at iTunes 11 on my Windows7 Pro computer and it is not giving me any clues. Hints are welcome and I'm an experienced computer user.

Hello, Apple? Help?
I don't believe you are doing anything wrong - I believe it's an Apple iTunes issue.
I'm having a similar problem with Itunes on my iMac. I'm playing iTunes on my iMac, to my Apple TV, and can't get iTunes to play more than one song at a time no matter what I try.
HOWEVER: When I play iTunes locally (Computer), even with external speakers - iTunes random/repeat works fine. So it seems to me to have something to do with mirroring/playing to an external device.

IPhone Doesn't Play Podcast Videos

My iPhone doesn't play podcast videos - it shows a static picture then plays the corresponding audio, is this a configuration issue in iTunes or iPhone - or is this a disappointing defect? Thanks ...

Not so much a bug, but a difference in behavior from the iPods.
In the iPod, you can make a playlist under Music->Playlist and it can contain both audio and video files. It will play the audio files fine, then the audio-only of the video files in the list. Having videos in a music playlist seems like a bug, but this "feature" allows you to just hear audio of video files if you desire (like listening to a movie without running the video screen).
If you go in to Video->Playlists instead, you play audio, then switch to video when it hits a video item in the list.
On the iPhone, the concept of Video Playlist is unavailable, only a playlist via TV Shows. So, I can't do it like I've been doing it for the past year or so on my iPod with Video.
I'm working on workarounds right now. I tried toggling all the vidcasts to "TV Show" video type, so they can be added to a TV Show playlist, and that sorta-works but isn't graceful (if I can make it work, I'll provide an iTunes script to do this for us).
I also found out by downloading the podcasts (check them off specifically) they can be made to show up in the video section, but just having them in an Audio Playlist isn't enough.
More research...

How can I get my iPad to play just one song from my playlist and then stop automatically?

I am a music teacher and I use the iPod on my iPad to play songs in class. I have a long playlist of songs to choose from in each class, and I want to play just one song at a time. I want to be able to start one song from my playlist and then walk away from my iPad and have it stop automatically when that song is over. (I know how to make it repeat the same song over and over, but tha'ts not what I need. I also know how to push "pause," but I don't want to have to walk away from the children to do it.) How can I make it play one song from a playlist at a time?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that except, perhaps, creating a separate Playlist for each song.

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

Playing Only One Song

How do I play only one song on my iPod, then stop without automatically going to the next song? I can't find a setting and not sure how to do it.
I play in a small band and have loaded recorded audio backing tracks into the iPod. I want to be able to play the song (i.e., backing track), then stop when it is finished without automatically going to the next song.

Thanks. I knew I could create a playlist with one song in it. However, when on stage that will take too much time between playing individual songs. Unless, I set up a single song playlist for each song, of which there are hundreds that we do.
I was hoping I could find a setting that would allow me to play a single song directly from the Library.

The music on my iPhone is WRONG, plays a different song when I click another one.

I recently plugged in my iPhone 4S to sync music with my relatively new Macbook Air. I had a song that someone had sent to me (a mix, not from iTunes) that I wanted to add to my phone. When I (safely) unconnected my phone and checked it, I found that a playlist (with only 2 songs) I had created earlier had disappeared. I then checked another playlist (3 songs),the one that had my new song in it, and when I clicked play, it played the 2 songs from the playlist that had disappeared. Now, ALL my music is mixed up. It seems like music is one song behind the cover art but even when I click on the same song three times, it plays three different songs, none of which are the one I clicked. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I tried to resync it by taking all the music off my iPhone and then readding it but the same problem occurs. I even tried adding all my music manually and nothing changes. The music on my iTunes on my Macbook is fine. All my updates are done on both devices. PLEASE HELP!! Will be going in to the apple store this weekend if I can't fix it.
ALSO, if a song plays to the end, it stops, even though it isn't on repeat and there are songs after it. It just gets to the end and freezes and I have to manually click the arrow to go to the next song.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Shuffle freezes, doesn't play next song, plays only one song

Hi!
Okay, so my ipod is offically broken. I got it as a b-day present in the summer of 2005, and i had to send it back once because the battery broke. This friday (yep, friday the 13th) it broke when i was waiting for my bus.
it plays one song in the beginning, then it stops. if i press the next button the shuffle stops. however the reverse button works, but it goes in a cycle(and no, i am NOT in PIO). Also if I fastfoward into about a minute into the song, and then press next, it works. That is for a little while. It basically does the same thing in PIO.
The pause and volume buttons work fine.
When I plugged my shuffle into the computer, it didn't even recognize it. If i can get the bootex to load without crashing the computer, which it does now, it says that the shuffle is dirty.
I've download itunes 7, reinstalled itunes, charged my shuffle with the wall adaptor, placed the shuffle in all of the USB ports(yes ALL of them), and i restarted my ipod.
This is a fairly recent development, but i had placed homemade recordings that i created with my camera on the shuffle. it worked fine on the 12th, after i updated my shuffle, and it was working on the morning of the 13th, until i accidently clicked the next button. Weird thing was that i clicked the next button earlier that morning, and nothing happened.
I tried to provide many details in hopes that some one knows a quick and easy fix.
my problem sounds very simular to bcructh.
thanks, lindz

I don't think that it has to do with the itunes 7 though.
I just install it today, and my shuffle broke on friday.
I really hope that some one is going to answer this SOON because i am NOT looking forward to a busride with smelly, loud, self-center freshmen (they really do smell, I'm not trying to be a jerk, and they are self-center and EXTREMALLY loud for 6:30 in the morning) with out music.

Trying to play a song on my iPhone and it plays a different song

Using iTunes on my iPhone 4S - when trying to play a specific song it jumps to another song and wont play the one I want. This happens with songs from iCloud and even songs that i purchased directly from iTunes on my phone.
anyone else have this problem and find a solution?
