Ipod Shuffle stuck on same song

Hey .. my Ipod is doing something strange recently. When I start it the first song is ALWAYS the same .. and it is set to shuffle. The sequence of songs then remains the same each time I turn it on and off. It has been doing this for a week and it is a bit annoying as I have to advance through many songs now to get to new ones.
I did wipe out the entire play list and started fresh but the same problem exists.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Hello,
Have you tried resetting your iPod?: hold the "menu" + "select" (center) buttons together for about 7 seconds. Then the Apple logo will appear on the screen.
I know you've "wiped out the entire play list and started fresh", but have you tried restoring your iPod? See this link about it:
Restore iPod
Restoring shuold take about 5 minutes. This process will delete the music off your iPod, but will not affect your iTunes library. Restoring isn't just deleting songs, because it can definetely clear up glitches in your iPod.
I hope this helps,
Kylene

  • Ipod touch stuck with same song display

    My ipod touch 4g (2 months old) is stuck with the same song display...the 'back' button to return to the list of albums is not working...if i press the next song arrow key the song is changing but the display is not changing....and even if i delete the song in the i tunes and sync the itouch...the display is still stuck with same song...please help me out on this

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Ipod Shuffle stuck on same first song - and remainder in same order

    Hi .. back again .. well I tried reseting my Ipod shuffle back to the factory settings just a bit ago and still no joy; after turning it on and off again I go back to the same first song. BUT this time (after the reset) it is a different one from before as I had to reload the music in it.
    Thoughts??

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • IPod Shuffle won't repeat songs

    I can get the same song to repeat when listening on laptop via iTunes in my playlist, but not when I try to listen via my shuffle, even when playing in direct order. Can you set the Shuffle to repeat same song over and over for replay?

    I found out the answer to my own question, in case anyone else has this problem. The answer is that the Shuffle will not repeat the same song over and over in a row. Where the other iPods can be programmed via their 'menue' to do so, the Shuffle doesn't have this capability to do so during playback. I got this direct from Apple/iPod support group.

  • I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating.

    I have my songs set to shuffle, but the same song just keeps repeating itself and I have to manually advance.

    Are you simply shuffling a list containing one song?  When the song plays and you see the album art, do you see "1 of 1" on top?

  • 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 touch 4G plays same songs as before while on shuffle

    My iPod will play a set of songs in shuffle and if I pause it thn come back to it a few hours later it won't play the song I left off on. It starts to play the same songs in the same order I heard them in earlier. I play the songs on shuffle from about 600 songs. It's not a playlist nothing it wrong. It just comes back to songs it already played.
    For example in the morning I hear track 1,2,3,3,5,6,7,8 & 9
    Them I pause it. When I come back in the afternoon it'll start playing track 3,4,5,6 ... And so on

    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.

  • My Ipod touch wont shuffle, stays on same song

    Mi ipod touch won't suffle songs.  It keeps playing the same song.  It used to work fine, is it not working correctly or am I doing something wrong?

    You have repeat on.  Turn it off.
    This is covered in the manual:
    iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
    Play a song, tap the screen, tap the repeat icon until it is white = 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.

  • My Ipod is playing the same songs all the time!! How do I fix this?

    I have a 80gb Ipod classic. In Itunes I set the smart shuffle in Preferences to "less likely". I can't find a similar setting on my Ipod. Every time I play any Playlists on the Ipod using shuffle I always hear some of the same songs. Some playlists have thousands of songs and yet I seem to always hear the same ones. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    You can avoid repeating songs by setting up a playlist in iTunes and have iTunes shuffle that list, or you can create a playlist manually and set up the order. (The latter isn't the fun way to do so.) When you play that playlist on the iPod, turn the shuffle off and just play the list. As long as the playlist isn't lost, there won't be any repeats. This is the best way I can think of, because I have the same desire. (Remember, the list can be lost when you connect the iPod to the computer or even manually resetting it.)
    I have about 7,000 songs on mine, and it still repeats and even overplays songs. It's irritating, but I just manually skip those songs.

  • Using a iPod and a iPod shuffle on the same computer

    I was given an iPod shuffle for Christmas and my son has a iPod. He has down loaded the iPod program on my laptop with his songs. If I down load my shuffle on to the same computer will it delete his program and songs or can I use his itunes for my shuffle? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi. I've just added a shuffle to my iTunes for my wife's use. I have an existing mini. I have attempted to follow the advice you gave in answer to the previous message. I now have two differing playlists but I am unable to follow the steps shown in Method 2 where you use 'Sync music' & then 'Select playlist'. I cannot find these 2 in any of the iTunes menus or by right clicking. I have also referred to my original iPod Mini user guide & am unable to follow the advice in there either, where it says select iPod mini in the Source list. There is nowhere in my iTunes menus where it says 'Source list'. I would be grateful for some help. thanks

  • Shuffle starts on same song on playlist when switched on, can I change this

    Does anyone know how to set it so it starts at the song i was last listening to when the shuffle was switched on and not the same song each time I switch on my shuffle without using my shuffle function?

    On the Ipod's Settings page, shuffle is off. I use a cassette adapter in my car. As soon as the ipod connects, it starts playing the first song. I still can't figure out how to set a default song or playlist. Thanks for your help.
