IPod 2G playing music with shuffle will only repeat just one song

When I start playing music on my iPod it will repeat just one song.

Do you have the repeat feature turned on? It is the racetrack-like icon on the left side of the screen below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to cycle through the variuos modes (off, repeat play list, repeat one song). Thus is covered in chapter 4 (Music) of the Users Guide.

Help. My iPod nano is stuck on repeat. it will only repeat the same song over and over. How can I change the settings

Help. My ipod nano is stuck on repeat. It repeats the same song over and over and wont play songs on the same album consecutively. How do I fix this

Hey cemccarty,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The option to turn off repeat will depend on your iPod nano model. Here is the information for the latest model, the iPod nano (7th generation):

If you have an earlier model of the iPod nano, see the relative user guide from this page:

IPhone will only sync to one CD in iTunes?

I recently got an iPhone 5 and I'm new to the technology. I previously used an iPod with my iTunes library on home computer. But recently, I downloaded iTunes on my laptop because it was more convenient. I saved a CD of music on there and activated home sharing. But I never synced my iPod to it---I just listened to my music on my laptop. Now I have an iPhone. I have tried syncing it to my laptop, and it works for everything except for when it comes to music. It will only put my CD songs on it, even though on my laptop it shows that I have all my music. What do I need to do? Do I need to authorize my iPhone? Is that possible or is that just for comptuers? I already have 5 devices authorized (mysteriously enough as it is, but it's a shared computer so it makes sense) so would I need to deauthorize them all first?
Thanks.

Maybe you've got problems because of outlook artefacts after ugrading to Windows 8. You should delete them, reinstall iCloud control panel and after that it should work. A 'how to' can be found in the internet, e.g. on my homepage.

My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

I am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

i am having problems with my ipod syncing all of my videos to my ipod from my itunes playlist, it will only sync about half even though they are all checked

I assume there is more than ample space remaining on your iPod to hold all the videos? Are you getting any error messages during the sync process?
Do all of these videos play okay in iTunes? Is the sync only checked songs and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
What other setting do you have enabled from under the iPod's video configuration tab in iTunes?

Ipod touch 8gb will not play music. It will play through headphones and while hooked to dock though. Any suggessions? I've been through all the reset, restore and nothing has fixed it....

Ipod touch will not play music. It will play though with headphones in and when attached to dock. Any suggestions?

If you have not yet restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod try that. If stil have the problem you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

henry is correct. you can't do that.
however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

My ipod wont play music. it runs slow and will not unlock itself past the home screen since updating to ios5. and i dont know what to do. please help.

Please help me! my ipod wont play music or unlock itself. i updated to ios5 thinking this would fix it and it wont work still. it is now locked at the lock screen and the little slider bar thing wont slide over. its stuck. and i dont have an apple protection plan because i bought this ipod touch off of a friend 8 months ago. i really dont want to have to spend 300 dollars for a new ipod touch. please help.

I also live an hr away from the Apple store, so its not the best thing to go there just to ask a question and find out what to do

Ipod is playing music out of the headphones and the speakers at the same

My ipod is playing music out of the headphones and the speakers at the same time and I can't figure out why. I reconnect the headphones and it still plays out of both...It is like it doesn't recognize that there are headphones plugged in, but yet it still plays out of them. Help would be appreciated. And the headphones are all the way plugged in

Ah my ipod is not the only one doing this obviously...i thought i was alone in this world...it still has this problem after an entire month...and no this problem has nothing to do with my computer...although sometimes plugging in the ipod to the computer eliminates the problem for a while.
Sometimes i listen to it at the loud volume that the other poster is talking about through the headphones and it will randomly recognize the headphones after about 30-60 minutes usually. but then the next day it will have the same problem

I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

My laptop that had my iTunes on it has exploded (in a sense). I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?

(After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
Thanks in advance!

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

PLAYING MUSIC WITH MY BB 8100

I suddenly noticed that my BB 8100 no longer play a music to the end as usual. It rather stops on its own accord and returns to the home page just like that.
I will really appreciate how to get this rectified cos i love playing music with it.
Moreso, i'm yet to use the wireless service on my BB, i'll also welcome simple guidelines on this.
Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you.
So on the main pc, it has to be set to manual update.
Will this remove the music that's already on the ipod?
Will I then have to drag each playlist over to the ipod individually to get the new data to the ipod, or will I just click 'update' and have it still be semi automatic?
will the ipod still update play counts to itunes with this manual update?

I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod. What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?
Thanks

You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.
