IPOD - Continuous play
I was given an older 40gb IPOD with lots of music. I bought an IHome clock radio to play the music. Problem: The IPOD will only play the song I selected before I put it into the Ihome cradle and when the song is finished it does not advance to the next song on the playlist. Is there a setting or such to cause the IPOD to continuously play, for example, all the albums and songs on the playlist?
thank you.
I'm having the same trouble. With CD Audiobooks I have to change tracks every 3 minutes manually. With Audiobooks downloaded from Audible I have to change chapters... not a big deal there, but every 3 minutes is too much of a hassle. I didn't have this problem with the 5th generation IPod 30gig... They play continuously on ITunes, but not on the IPod. I've tried playlists, smart playlists, nothing works.

How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music. Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon. It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.
Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

How do I set my IPod to play all my new podcasts continuously?
One possibility is to put them into a playlist in the desired order and then sync that playlist from your iTunes library to your iPod.

IPod freezes for a few seconds but the sound continues playing
Hello!
I recently transfered a large MP4 onto my iPod, and I found that the playback on the iPod occasionally freezes for a few seconds, and then continues playing, but the sound continues throughout. The same video plays OK on iTunes without any freezing. Could somebody help me please?
Yours faithfully,
Norman Tangi had the same problem on my 1.1 firmware but when i updated it,there was nothing like this.

After 1.2.3 update, Ipod freezes playing songs and is SLOW
Hello, I updated my 5th Generation to 1.2.3 with Itunes at the latest level. Now the Ipod plays for awhile and then pauses for 30 seconds and then continues playing the song. It also takes about a minute for a playlist to begin playing. All worked well before 1.2.3. I've tried reset and restore. I even reformatted the Ipod (fat32 2048k) and then restored. No luck. It appears there are no useful instructions to reload 1.2.1 with the latest Itunes and Windows Vista. If an Apple person happens to read this, I sure would like to go back to 1.2.1 to see if this problem continues.
First, for safety, do a quick diagnostic of the iPod.
You can do this by starting a sync as usual with iTunes, then enabling Disk Use. Now, go to Utilities/Disk Utility on your desktop, and perform a diagnostic - it should take only a few seconds. Now, go back onto iTunes and Disable Disk Use (so you can take your cable out).
As long as you have the iTunes desktop up, click Check for Updates, and then Update. (They update thee software every month.) -
New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated
So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable. -
IPod stops playing in the middle of a song
This has just started to happen, I'll be listening to a song and it'll just stop playing. I'll unlock the "hold" switch and it'll continue playing.
Should I go to an Apple store and seek help or is this a known issue with an easy fix?Should I go to an Apple store and seek help

I can't get my ipod to play on my ihome is says this accesssory is not supported by ipod touch!
If it started after updating to iOS 5 it may be that the dock is not compatible with iOS 5. Somebody else recently posted with the same problem after iOS 5.

touch screen does not work on my ipod when playing music on itunes, but works fine on every other thing on ipod, can anyone help or what is the cause
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I rented a movie from the Itunes store and started watching it, but my computer jammed part way through, and now i can't find the movie to continue playing it, where can i find it?
Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

I obviously don't understand how ATV2 using Home sharing works. I have my ATV2 setup to share my iMac's iTunes Library. It shows up fine on the ATV2. What I have not been able to figure out is 2 things:
1. How do I get a the ATV2 to continuous play everything in an album? For the life of me Ican't figure it out?
2. How do I use "Shuffle" it appears to always be on (arrows are crossed?) Can you turn it off? When I select shuffle withthe remote it starts to play one song but then stops (even though are more songs in the album, genre,etc.) What am I doing wrong?
I'm feeling pretty dumb about this thing?Got it. Ihad unchecked all the Holiday Music so it wouldn't sync to my iPhone. re-checked them and it's all good.

Multiple songs within a chapter and continuous play from chapter to chapter
Hi,
Struggling with two features: I played the tutorials at iDVD but I could not find answers to these questions.
1) trying to get the DVD to continuously play all the different chapters without hitting the play button for each one.
Want to run in continuously for a birthday party so just want it to run.
Secondly. Some chapters have lots of pictures. How do I add multiple pieces of music to each chapter?
Thanks1) trying to get the DVD to continuously play all the different chapters without hitting the play button for each one.
You have NOT created CHAPTERS - you have created a series of separate clips (or slideshows). DVD 'Chapters' are like chapters in a book - just entry points into longer content. There is no way in iDVD to like together such separate clips.
Secondly. Some chapters have lots of pictures. How do I add multiple pieces of music to each chapter?
It sounds like you are creating slideshows - is this correct? If so I suggest you create your slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie. This will give you many more options. Apple has tutorials for both iPhoto and iMovie that explain how to do this.

Itunes continuous play somehow disabled
I just set up a new pc, downloaded and installed iTunes, everything is working great... Except for some reason iTunes will not continuously play songs for some reason. Strange, I never really thought about it, but previously I would sort by Artist or Album. Double click on a song, and iTunes would automatically play the next song in the list when that song finished. Now it just stops after one song. I've highlighted an entire album, selected play, and it will still only play the first song in the list and stop. I am litterally at the point where I have to select one song at a time and it's getting REALLY old!
Thanks for any help!Make sure all the little boxes (next to each song) are checked. If not, you can do them all at once, just hold the CTRL key and click any one of them.

Recently, when I'm in iTunes, I cannot get it to do continuous play in playlists or otherwise. It just plays one song and then stops. If I hit the fast forward button, the song stops. The songs are all checked, so that is not the problem. I've restarted the computer and that doesn't seem to help either.
We recently upgraded to Leopard. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any help is much appreciated so I can listen to my Christmas music playlist in time for the holidays!OK, I see I didn't read your post carefully enough, but the behaviuor your describe is typical of unchecked music.
I wonder if it is worth unckecking your tracks and then rechecking them.
Something else you might try is close iTunes and drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml somwhere convenient out side the iTunes music folder, then restart iTunes so you get a new library created - then add you music againa and see if the problem clears. This is just a test to see if there is something funny going on in the library. You can put the originals back afterwards.
I don't want to suggest anything more complex as I am a Windows person and I know nothing about macs.
