IPod repeating songs

Any reason why iPod on my phone won't shuffle songs? Keeps repeating the same song, even though I select shuffle at the top of the playlist.

Sounds like you have repeat-1 selected. Tap the Now Playing Screen to display the additional song controls.
Tap the repeat control until it turns white. Blue is repeat all, blue with a number 1 is repeat one, white is repeat off.

  • Hi there my ipod repeats songs it wont shuffle please help from ankav

    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.

  • Itunes + iPod repeating songs

    Recently iTunes has been repeating some of the songs in my library and the problem has now caused my iPod to do the same. A description of the problem goes something like this... I'll click on a song in my library and it will start to play. The song will play for about 5-6 seconds and then it will go back to the beginning of the song before it plays the song in its entirety. As I stated before, the problem started in iTunes, but has now spread to my iPod also. I've downloaded the latest iTunes updates and I've even reinstalled iTunes to try to fix the problem.
    Can anyone help me sort this problem out?

    You can sort by genre--just click on the genre column. Then you can grab all the songs of the genre you want to shuffle and put them in a playlist. Finally, you can shuffle this playlist.

  • Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?

    Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?  How do I get this to stop?  I have already done a factory restore and then reloaded my music onto this iPod. 

    I had this problem after upgrading to iOS4, but didn't discover it until I got to the gym and went to start my workout! No music (except the stuff they play at the gym) meant a short workout for me!
    I figure that the glitch comes from the fact that when you upgrade to iOS4 iTunes takes a backup of your iPod, does the firmware update and then puts the backed up content back on, I'm thinking that there are some subtle differences between iOS3 and iOS4 that cause confusion.
    THE FIX! I have found that the best fix (in fact the best course of action) is to restore the iPod from iTunes (just hook it up and hit the "Restore" button and tell iTunes to treat it as a new iPod. Then just re-sync all your content and it should work perfectly. It is a much easier way of getting your iPod updated without as many glitches.
    HTH!!

  • 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?

  • Repeating songs on ipod

    my ipod touch repeats songs whether I use "album" or "artist", how do I get it to play the next song in the sequence? Even if I use "shuffle" it keeps replaying the first song.

    you haven't got the 'repeat' button selected by accident have you? (sounds daft but people have done it before and not realised)
    tap the screen while music is playing to bring up these controls.
    under the time and scrubber bar on the left handside, see those arrows? if they are blue (tapped once) it will repeat the whole sequence of songs (an album, a playlist, etc.) tap it again a '1' will appear on them. this repeats the current thing playing. tap it again to remove these settings.
    the arrows on the right will be highlighted blue when it's set to shuffle.

  • I put iPod on "songs, shuffle" but the shuffle isn't random!  Same artist repeats often, same songs repeat before other songs are played.  With over 2000 songs on the iPod, I shouldn't be getting repeats very often.  Anybody else?

    Shuffle is not perfect. What you are experiencing is normal.

  • How do I stop my iPod from being on repeat song?

    I don't know how or why my ipod got stuck on repeat song as I don't even know how to repeat a song in the first place aside from clicking back to make it replay.  I have done the first steps in stopping problems to no avail.  How did it get there and how do I make it stop?
    Thank you!

    In your iPod Menu list,
    1. scroll down to SETTINGS, press Select
    2. Scroll down the setting list to the 3rd item REPEAT
    3. Press Select till you get OFF.
    Have a great day.

  • I have repeated songs on my ipod

    i have repeated songs on my ipod

    Instead of dragging them from your library to your
    iPod, try dragging them from your Podcasts list to
    your iPod. Make sure that your podcasts aren't grayed
    out. If they are, you will have to click Get in the
    Podcasts list. The problem could be that you are
    putting them on your iPod before they are fully
    downloaded.
    Thanks again. I've now found the five video podcasts I downloaded as a test, but they're still not in "Video Podcasts" on the iPod ... that remains empty. The five were in "Video Playlists" inside the "Videos" list. They're now also under "Playlists" from the first menu. Given that I don't think I did anything to create any Playlists at all, I remain confused ... but at least I've found what I downloaded. I remain convinced that something needs to be clicked -- maybe in "Settings" -- in order to set my iPod straight, but I don't know what. The un-intuitive nature of this situation is frustrating. But I do appreciate your help.

  • IPod within iPhone is stuck in repeat song mode

    The iPod in in iPhone 3G seems to be stuck in repeat song mode. Whether I use shuffle or linear doesn't matter. I've tried rebooting to no avail. I guess I'm going to have to reset the software when I get home if I can't fix this at work.

    If you are looking at the iphone screen when a song is playing, and you touch the screen once, in the upper left corner is an icon that looks like a circle with two arrows in it. Touch that icon to turn repeat off. That should fix your problem.

  • How to delete repeated songs on ipod?

    How can I delete repeated songs on my ipod classic?

    The File menu has a "display duplicates" option at the bottom of the third section. This will bring up all duplicate songs within a playlist, album, artist, or the music list. I do a search for an artist or album at a time, then edit/select all (ctrl-A after selecting a song), select one of each song (holding the control key down allows you to select the ones you want without deselecting the rest), then I hit the delete key to delete the unwanted duplicates (the ones still highlighted). This is kind of a brute-force method but I don't anything more efficient.

  • How do you repeat songs in Front Row

    I could nto find any repeat option in front row. Its really annoying. AFter the album plays all the songs, it just stops. Is there no repeat song or repeat all option like in the iPod?

    If you turn on the repeat option in iTunes, then start Front Row, go to the song you want to play, it will repeat until you go to the next song.
    Hope this helps,
