IPhone shuffle keeps playing same songs

Why does my iPhone play the same songs when I choose shuffle? I can hear same song possibly twice in one hour. Any help would be great so I can have it not repeat same songs so frequently.

With the song playing, tap the cover art. You will see a scrubber bar and a repeat icon and a shuffle icon. Tap the repeat button - blue is on, white is off.
This is explained on page 63 of the manual:

  • My iPhone keeps playing same song and won't play next one

    My new IPhone 4 keeps playing the same song and won't play the next one! I have reinstalled the software and reset it, but still no luck.

    See Page 77 of the User's Guide.  Make sure you do not have it set to repeat that specific song.

  • Keeps playing same song when connected

    Whenever I connect my iPhone via bluetooth or cable to my car stereo it starts to play one particular song.  It's quite annoying as it's a christmas song and we are now in March!  I haven't select that song in a few months yet no matter what song I had on prior to entering my car, as soon as it connects it plays THAT song.  Any thoughts on why this is happening?  I use iCloud/Match and the song isn't actually stored on iPhone.

    Settings > Music > iTunes Match > OFF > restart phone > iTunes Match > ON

  • Keeps playing same song

    My Ipod nano does not change songs. I have to change them manually, Have I turned something off?

    Have at a look at your iPod's User Guide and the repeat function.

  • I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating.

    I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating itself and I have to manually advance.

    Are you simply shuffling a list containing one song?  When the song plays and you see the album art, do you see "1 of 1" on top?

  • Why does my iPhone 4 play same song twice?

    why does my iPhone 4 play same song twice?

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • TS3274 My iPad plays a song and then stops; I press manually for next song, but it either plays same song, a different song that I pressed, or will play the next song, but keeps stopping after every song I play.  Help?

    When I go to play songs the iTunes will play a song then stops (repeat all or one song is not on and also shuffle is not on); I manually click for next song an it wll ( play the next song and stops, it will play same song and then stops, or it will play a song randomly and then stops) .  Help!

    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 from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    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 (or video 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.

  • My new nano keeps repeating same song...how do I get it to go to next on list or at least duffle?

    My new nano keeps repeating same song...how do I get it to go to next on list or at least duffle?

    I have an iPod Nano 7th generation and I know of a couple of ways to shuffle the playlists.  When you select the Playlist, from Home>Music>Playlists, there is a shuffle feature at the top of the screen that will shuffle that individual playlist.  Also, if you tap the screen quickly while the one song is repeating, a menu will come up with the ability to select repeat, which is the icon on the left.  I'm guessing if you were to tap the repeat button it would turn the repeat feature off.  Another way to shuffle is to shake the Nano while the screen is lighted, and a song is playing.  This shaking will shuffle ALL playlists.  Of course you need to have the shuffle feature activated which you can do from Home>Settings>Music and making sure the "Shake to shuffle feature" is ON. 

  • My iPhone 3G only plays one song

    My iPhone decided to play one song over and over instead of the designated playlist like it had been. I can advance to another song if I press forward, but the playlist will not play. Also, there are no Looping-like symbols nor shuffle symbols that had always appeared. Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem. My iPod on my iPhone only plays the song I select and it not automatically play the next song in the playlist. Shuffle does not work either. I have to actually hit the forward button which is incredibly annoying - especially when using it for my runs! I've tried settings on the iPhone, I've changed controls on my iTunes account on my computer and synced. Nothing works. Help!!! I'm running a 1/2 marathon this Sunday and I have to get this working before then!

    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.

  • Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

    My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
    the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
    i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
    please help out a soldier in need?

    mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

  • My iphone 4 repeats the same song.

    My iphone 4 repeats the same song over and over again. No matter how I seleceted (either playlist or album or artist...)
    Also there is no scrollbar (timeline) and no button for repeat and shuffle as there used to be in the music player. Whats wrong - how can I change it back?
    Thx

    Hi again,
    I also tapped on the album cover - nothing happened.
    BUT after a hard reset (home + start button) this worked again. Timeline and options repeat and shuffle came back!!!
    I am a happy camper now... ;-)
    Take care

  • TS3474 keeps repeating same song automatically

    My nano keeps repeating same song automatically- I can manually change to the next song.

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.
