IPod Nano repeats song endlessly. Is this a setting I've overlooked

My Nano continually repeats a song until I use the 'next song' button. Ii this a setting I've overlooked? I find no reference to this in the manual

With the song playing swipe left. This will reveal a secondary screen where you can turn on and off both 'repeat' and 'random'.

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.

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

IPod Nano repeat setting is off but playlist repeats

My iPod Nano repeat setting is "off" but playlist repeats. How do I stop this?

If you select a playlist, even without the repeat turned on, when you get to the end of the playlist it automatically starts over (just like your car audio system will play track one again after it finishes the last song on a CD).

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?

ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
What's going on? How do I fix this?

I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
Hope this helps.

Ipod keeeps repeating song

my ipod wont automatically go to next song in playlist

Karen,
Have you made sure the repeat option hasn't been enabled? How to check depends on what generation your iPod Nano is. Either way, you can find the information to such thing in your iPod's User Guide. Select yours from the list in this link and look for the section regarding the repeat setting.

ITunes/iPod nano & chinese song names [please help]

i own an iPod nano 4gb.
first question is is there a setting i can choose (either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the default? anyone that has chinese songs with chinese characters will notice that the font as compared to english text is relatively lighter (not as bold). hence, it is harder to read.
second question concerns chinese music. all my songs are chinese and the song names, artist names, album names etc are in chinese characters. those files that appear with chinese characters by default on Windows appear fine on the iPod nano as well. however, most of my songs require a program called NJStar Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese characters - those that have chinese music should know what i'm talking about. without NJStar, the names just appear as random symbols in Windows. the problem is, all of the songs that require NJStar appear on the iPod nano as symbols despite the fact that they appear as chinese characters on iTunes when NJStar is turned ON. when NJStar is turned OFF, the names are just displayed as symbols on iTunes. irregardless of whether i update my iPod nano when NJStar is on or off, the names remain as symbols on the iPod nano and i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can fix this or perhaps it's just tough cookies XD
any information is much appreciated,
many thanks.

No.

Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese

I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

Ipod Nano skipping songs... IPod or ITunes issue?

I purchased an IPod Nano and signed up for ITunes. I purchased a CD from ITunes and synced it with my IPod. That worked fine except for one huge issue - the IPod skips right over 5 out of the 12 songs on the CD! The songs play fine through my computer (Windows XP Pro SP2), just not on the IPod.
Is this an IPod issue or an ITunes issue? Has anyone dealt with this before?

Every time i i try to listen to any of the playlists the songs start to skip. Also i tried to play my songs by the shuffle songs option but it does the same. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I am not sure if i should restore the ipod?
Thank you,
MRivera

I have a similar problem except there are only certain songs that skip.(about 5-6) I dont know how to fix this problem but i noticed that one of the songs skipped later after I deleted it from my nano and put it back.

IPod nano skipping song

Any help will be greatly accecpted. Thanks
Self Built Windows XP Pro 1GB iPod Nano, XP desktop + laptop (painfully saving for a 17" Core 2 Duo iMac)

I too am having songs getting cut off problem on a gen1 Nano. I've read through the Apple discussions and I've tried the 5R's several times, rebuilt the iTunes library, completely reformating the nano by writing zeros over the data, restoring back to an earlier version (1.1 and 1.2) and still the same thing. Digging into this further, I find the same songs do not cut off on my G2 20gig iPod, only on the Nano. I only started noticing this problem when I updated to iTunes 7 and the iPod updates that went with it- it doesn't mean the problem wasn't happening earlier, just that I wasn't noticing it.
Digging still further, I find only a few songs have this problem (I've found 7 out of out >4,200) and that they seem to match up. Song A stops ~30 sec before the end and song B stops ~30 sec from the beginning. Song C stops ~54 sec from the end and song D stops ~54 sec from the beginning. Further, these 7 songs were all downloaded from iTMS between 9/17/05 and 12/11/05 (I bought a total of 30 songs during that period, but have only found 7 that are afflicted so far).
Lastly, if I burn those songs to disk as an MP3 and reimport them, the songs play in their entirety. Sadly no solutions here, just observations.

In an iPod Nano 6 songs will not play in A-Z order.

I have over 100 songs in one playlist. This concerns an iPod Nano 6. The songs are in alphabetical order on my Nano. The songs will not play in alphabetical order and skips around. How can I corredt this problem?

It's not a "problem," if the iPod is set to shuffle. On page 21 of the 6th gen nano's manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1551/en_US/iPod_nano_6thgen_User_Gu ide.pdf
find the shuffle button on the Now Playing screen (it looks like two arrows crossing). Tap it to toggle between shuffling the current song list and playing it in order.

IPod nano "forgets" song screen when it wakes. Anyone know how to fix that?

II've had my 7th gen nano for almost a year and suddenly when I'm playing a song, and it goes to sleep, it wakes to the home screen instead of then of the
song screen. This is really annoying when I'm trying to quickly navigate. There are also some slip ups with is goes to sleep while recording a voice memo. Everything works fine when nano is plugged in and I hit power since it can't sleep while plugged in, which isn't helpful. Anybody experience this or know how to fix it? I've reset settings and shut it down already! nothing. Thank you!

If you did the Reset (to restart the iPod)
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
you may need to do a Restore using iTunes
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.

Ipod Nano Loosing Songs

I was told that once you load the songs onto the Ipod Nano and if you delete the songs from your PC you than loose all your songs that are on the Ipod Nano when you connect it to your PC again. This will cause you to start all over again with loading new songs onto the Nano ?

Most choose to simply keep an exact copy of all or part of their library on their Ipod and never take it off their computer. However if you wish to manually control the ipod and not leave all the songs on your computer (i would highly recommend backing the songs up first) you can use manuel syncing. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

Music downloads to iPod Nano from songs that are only available in iCloud.

I'm trying to add music to my sons iPod Nano that myself and my older son have on our iPhone and iPod touch. When I try to copy these songs over to the Nano it tells me it cannot be copied because it is only available in iCloud. It then states I need to download the items from iCloud before they can be copied to the iPod. How to I download songs from iCloud that are currently showing in my music library?
