Ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle

ipod keeps repeating song, won't shuffle.  HELP!!

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?

  • My Ipod Nano keeps repeating songs while in shuffle mode

    As the thread title states.My settings are on for shuffle when I shake my ipod,but thre same song repeats itself unless I fast forward to the next song.Which then repeats itself.Any help would be very much appreciated..

    Have you got the settings on iTunes to how you want? Often the iPod carries over these settings. If you are not aware of the second music menu when you are playing music, it has the shuffle icon, repeat icon and Genius icon. You have to tap whilst looking at an album cover, and then slide to the side to get to it. If that isnt the case, in settings, there is a section where it asks you what you would like to shuffle, songs, artists, albums or whatnot. You may want to switch that off.

    Garey,
    Make sure the Repeat setting has not been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for more information.

  • Why does playlist on iPod keep repeating and repeating even though play count rule is 1

    Hello, everyone!
    I have a smart playlist of about 100 songs.  The play count rule is set to play songs with a play count of less than 1.  A few days ago, I reset all of the songs play count to 0.  If you ask me, the way I have it set up, when the iPod is playing with my headphones on, the iPod should automatically update each songs play count to 1 after each song plays.  After I have listened to all 100 songs, the playlist on the iPod should be empty.  The reason is is because since each song was updated from their play count of 0 to 1 after each one played the play count rule in the playlist should show no songs in the playlist.  Like I said before, the rule says to play any songs with a play count of less than 1.  Since all of the play count of the 100 songs are now 1 and not less than 1, the playlist should be empty.
    The problem is, when I'm listening to my iPod and the 100 songs have played, the playlist is not empty.  It just keeps repeating songs and it will never stop.  When I go to iTunes, the songs are randomly with play counts of 3 or 2 or 1 or however many times they have been repeated.
    Does anyone know why this is?

    The reason the songs don't delete themselves after playing from the playlist on the iPod is because your iPod is not smart enough to do that. It's only when you re-sync your iPod to your iTunes library does the smart playlist in your iTunes library delete the played songs. Then the playlist on your iPod will adjust to the number left unplayed in that playlist.
    So as long as you don't sync back to your library the number of songs in that playlist will never reduce to zero.

  • How do I get my 7th gen nano to play music in specified order?  It either repeats songs endlessly or shuffles; neither do I want it to do.

    If you are working out with this divide and running it will shake to shuffel and you can go under playlist and add new play list and make that way and you can put them in any order and you can turn off shake to shuffel and the settings under music

    hi there my ipod repeats songs and will not shuffle please help?from ankav

    Check to make sure the repeat setting has not been enabled.  To do this, tap the artwork one time from the Now Playing screen to bring up additional controls.  You will see an icon with two arrows going in a circle.  Tap this icon until it turns white, mean it is Off.

  • Ipod keeps switching songs

    My ipod keeps bouncing around songs when i jog unless i hold it level in my hand.  Any way to correct this?

    Yes, go to Settings/Music and turn off "Sake to suffle"
    Turn Shake to Shuffle on or off: Choose Music, then turn Shake to Shuffle on or off. When Shake to Shuffle is on, you can shake iPod touch to shuffle and immediately change the currently playing song.

  • Party Shuffle keeps repeating songs

    So I decided to try Party Shuffle for a party (I'd never bothered with it before) due to the feature that allows you to rate songs and hence feature those before others. However Party shuffle keeps throwing the same songs on the list (I've got 15 hours chosen for this party so there should be no need to repeat anything). And in some cases it repeats the same song back to back. I'll probably still use it and just keep shuffling 100 upcoming songs until I'm happy with what I have and then enjoy myself at my party but it's a pain that I have to babysit it. I sent feedback to Itunes about adding a "no repeats" option but I was wondering if there's something I'm overlooking. I guess the other option would be to see what songs I didn't rate and delete them since they didn't merit rating at all.

    Nevermind I got it sorted. All of my songs in the "Recently Added List" where unchecked, so from that perspective it looked like I had no songs. Now what the check mark means is a whole other question...but I'm happy
