Ipod shuffle repeating same ten songs...

I am new to the Ipod shuffle and so far only have 45 songs on it. If I have it on shuffle, it replays the same 10 songs over and over, or even the same song twice in a row. I have tried turning it off and switching to have them play it in order and it still plays a few of the same songs over and over. I have yet to listen to all of my songs...Please help!

Hi again, Joe,
The only other option I can think of, besides sending your iPod in for service, is the iPod shuffle Reset Utility. Download the Reset Utility, and try resetting your iPod that way:
About iPod Reset Utility
If that doesn't work, then you might need to send your iPod in for a replacement. If it really seems to be having a problem, Apple might just replace it for you.
When did you purchase your iPod shuffle, and how long will it be until your 1-year warranty (or the extended, AppleCare Protection Plan, if you've got that) runs out?
If your iPod has at least two months to go for its warranty, or so, then it would probably be best to send it in for service.

Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
please help out a soldier in need?

mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

IPOD KEEPS REPEATING SAME SONG

ipod 16GB keeps repeating same song

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?

Can iPod Shuffle repeat one song all the time?

Hi,
Just like the title, is iPod Shuffle able to repeat one song all the time?
Thanks,

If is the only song on the shuffle, yes. Otherwise, I believe not.

Ipod shuffle stuck on one song

my friends little girls ipod shuffle is stuck on one song. How do I fix it

I have the exact same problem. I have a brand new 4th generation iPod Shuffle. I subscribed to six podcasts in iTunes and then sync'd. The Shuffle will only play the first podcast. If I hit the "next" button, it doesn't do anything. If I let the podcast play to the end, it just restarts. If I resync, it will remove the podcast I've listened to and then only play the next podcast.
As far as I know, there is no "repeat" function on the 4th generation Shuffle. If there is, can you please provide the page number in the manual that explains how to shut it off?

When I plug in my ipod shuffle(early model) the songs do not appear on play list. Play list shown is wrong.Any ideas?

When I plug in my ipod shuffle { early model } the play list that appears does not show what is actually on my ipod. Some I had deleted before and some songs that I have never had on my ipod. appear on the list I do not knw via the computer what is actually on my ipod. Any suggestions. Why cany itunes leave things alone. If it aint broke dont mend it. This has only happened since I down loaded the latest itunes.

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

Shuffle plays same named songs consecutively

I have found this bug on iTunes 11, which was not present in previous versions of iTunes (10, 9, etc.). The new way that songs are shuffled somehow goes by song title. If one has a few songs with the same song title, these will be played consecutively. This became painfully apparent while playing Christmas music. In my collection I have several different versions of the same Christmas songs by different artists, (and in some cases the same artist as different albums may have the same song by the same artist. I do enjoy all of these songs, but having them repeat is quite annoying.

Hi! Yes, I have also noticed this problem also, but it goes back a bit further than the new version of iTunes. Now that iTunes is much more visually based when it comes to the shuffle function you can see it layed out like your pic shows.
I Have looked into this in the past and again recently with my iPhone 5. From what I was able to find out, it seems that "shuffle" takes you list of music (by song title, A-Z) and shuffles all the songs like a deck of cards.
so if that is the case I can see why all my remixed versions of the same song play consecutively. Like a shuffled deck, not all cards(songs) get separated on one shuffle like iTunes does. Also, it could also be that iTunes detects 3 songs with the same title as one song. if that is the case then I completely understand why this happens.
I have 4 different versions of "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand (live, remix, club mix...) and everytime I shuffle my music... all 4 will play back to back to back to back...
I would think they would have to change the algorithm a bit to fix this, but until then I guess the next best thing would be to change the song title for each song to ge them spread out a bit more. (leading 1,2,3 or A,B,C in front of the title.
Happy New Year,
bulala!

My ipod shuffle hesitates before playing songs..

on my shuffle some of my songs .. like songs by certan cd's that i have added to my itunes.. ( one example is all of my lincon park cds and one of my system of a down cd's) will take about 40 seconds to begin playing on my ipod shuffle.. and i cant just skip over it i must wait and then i can.. what can i do to fix this?? please help
Thanks in advance

Why would I be "hostile"? I'm just having trouble believing what you describe is actually happening.
To figure out what is happening, please answer the specific questions. Did you actually TIME the playback using an independent timer of some type? You keep saying it is "slower," but that can be influenced by perception. Timing how long it takes to play the song (in iTunes on computer and on shuffle) is definite proof that cannot be influenced by perception.
(Pick a test song that has a definite end point, not one that fades out, so you can easily tell where the "end" is on both the iTunes playback and shuffle playback.)
So... These are the questions that may help solve the mystery.
What does iTunes say is the song's length?
Using your independent timer, how long does it take to play the song in iTunes? Since the comparison is with a shuffle, after starting the playback, do not look at the screen to determine when the song ends.
Using the same timer, how long does it take to play the song using your shuffle?
The timer does not need to be super-precise. It can be a wall clock or wristwatch with a second hand. You just need to time it to within a second or two.

Ipod shuffle will not sync songs Error -50

Hello i recently got a new ipod shuffle last week and now it wont sync with my songs. it only syncs one song out of the album. im using windows Xp
HELP?!?!?!

One song out of the album? Are you only syncing a single album to the iPod?
How is your iPod configured to sync? In other words, is it set to sync you entire library? Are you syncing specific playlists? Specific artists or albums? Are you auto-syncing or manually managing your iPod?

Ipod touch & ipod shuffle on same itunes account and computer

I have an ipod touch which works fine with my itunes account. I purchased an ipod shuffle for my sister for xmas. I need to synce a playlist of songs for her on the ipod shuffle using my computer. I have purchased songs for her from itunes which are on my computer. When I plug her ipod shuffle into my computer it shows up as my ipod in itunes. How do I get music on her shuffle? She will eventually learn how to open her own itunes account and do it from her computer, but I don't whan to mess up my ipod trying to get her started on her ipod shuffle. I need help. Thanks for any help. Donna

You are simply setting yourself and your sister up for issues.
iDevices are designed to sync to one and only one computer.
If you load content on the device from your computer and then she tries to sync with her computer, the only option will be to wipe the device and it's content, then load content from the "new" computer.
Set up the iTunes account on her computer.
Put the content on her computer (either downloading past purchases or simply moving via a USB flash drive).
Sync the device to her computer.

Using iPod & iPod Shuffle on Same Computer

I have had my IPod for over a year and recently received an IPod Shuffle. I would like to use both on the computer that I currently have iTunes installed on, but can't figure it out:(
When I attempt to install the software for iTunes, it brings up all my information from my Ipod...Help!!!
1. Do I even need to install iTunes again? To me it looks like the same disk that came w/my iPod a year ago.
2. If I do need to install the disk, do I enter my iPod Shuffle's information in there? Therefore, removing my iPod information?
3. Will I lose any of my music that is already loaded in my Libary on iTunes?
Sorry for asking the basic 101 of apple but I couldn't find anything about this on the website or discussions.

Nikki,
Welcome to the discussions. All you need is the most recent version of the iPod updater. You don't need to reinstall iTunes.

I was down loading music from my list of songs from my computer, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but there is no music, and the iPod shuffles to the next song

I down loaded songs from my playlist off my computer to my iPod, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but no music plays and my iPod shuffles to the next available song. I down loaded about 300 songs at once, was that to much at one time ? How do I get those songs on my iPod without duplicating song titles on the playlist? Plus I have a couple of song duplications on the playlist, can't figure out how to remove them.

If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer
