IPod stuck on same song!!!

My iPod is about a week old and has been great until today. I have updated to 1.1.3 firmware and restored and reset several times. But now the thing just continues to play 1 song only. I currently have about 100 songs on it, but ut will only allow me to play one song, which is always the last song I transfered to it. What can I do in this situation? Thanks.

don't have a workaround - but its a me too

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.

My ipod repeats the same song over and over - how do I get it to play the next song?

IPod stuck on same starting shuffle song after sync

I have the iPhone 3G with the latest 2.2.1 firmware but this is a recurring problem. After each sync, I notice that when I play music, it always starts with the same song every time (it's on shuffle mode always). If I remember correctly, it didn't work like that before but somewhere along the firmware upgrades, something changed and now this is the default (and annoying) behavior. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

IPod starts with same song in car

I use my new iPod for music when I drive my car. Whenever I plug my iPod into my USB port, it always starts off playing the same song, which happens to be the first song on my list. It's so annoying. I do have my songs on shuffle. All I have to do is press next and it starts shuffling fine.
By the way, this never happened with my iPod Nano.
Is there any way to get my iPod to shuffle a random song instead of it playing the one that is first on the list? Any help?

I discovered on the radio itself that there is a Repeat Button on Button #6. I stumbled on it by accident...it wasn't in the User's Guide. Guess I answered my own question!

Ipod resets on same song

My iPod always resets itself at the same point of the same song without fail. I've manually reset the iPod, resynched, and still the same result. Before I delete the track and redownload, has anyone ever encountered this? This track plays fine in iTunes by the way.
In case you need to know, the track is Vermicide from the disc Amputechture by The Mars Volta. And it wasn't downloaded from iTunes, I used another (russian) site.
As an aside, my album artwork does not sync with 50% of the music. This will be another post but I thought I'd put it in here as well.
Thanks all!!

As mentioned, you need to be using the correct iTunes version (iTunes 7 or later for the 2nd gen nano). Also, have you tried going through the "5 R's"? If not, you need to try them. Save the restore for last.

2 ipod nano's SAME songs on both...HELP

My husband and I bought ipod nano's at the same time. During set up, using my laptop, we thought that we had done everything correctly. What has happened is that all of his songs are on my ipod and all of mine are on his...in other words our nano's have the EXACT same songs on them! How can we correct this????? We have totally different taste in music and feel "cheated" with our song space.

Change the the update option on your iPods "automatically update selected playlists only". You can each make a playlist of your own with your own songs in it and each iPod can be set to update from it's own list. Make your playlists "Smart Playlists" and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 1800MB for a 2G). For more information have a look at this link:
How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod repeat the same song over? I can't get any playlists or albums to play...

Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod just play the same song over and over? I cannot figure out how to get it to shuffle or play through an album or playlist... It just started doing this randomly and it's very frustrating!

You have probably Repeat turned on. See the top of p. 77 of the User Guide.

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,

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?

Ipod re-syncs same songs everytime

My itunes somehow got damaged and rebuild itself a few weeks ago. When it finished I had to reset some things with the way itunes displays and plays my music. Also somehow it duplicated a couple of my playlists. I deleted the duplicated playlists and reset all the diplays back. Now it works fine.
The first time I synced my 160g classic is seemed to sync fine. The second time it came up with notice that it couldn't sync to the ipod and I had to reload the software and reset the ipod. I did this and it reloaded my 16,000+ music library. (I have the latest itunes and ipod software)
Now everytime I sync the ipod it reloads the same 60 songs everytime! These songs play fine in itunes and on the ipod. Anybody have a suggestion on how to stop these songs from reloading to the ipod everytime it syncs?

Update- I found that if I go in and change something in the song info (genre) then the songs reload once and then stop the constant reloading. So I guess something about the info on these songs got wacky when my itunes library rebuild.
Thanks
Don

U2 iPod stuck on same image,

Hello,
After updating my iTunes software, I was unable to use my U2 iPod. In fact, I've tried resetting it various times to see if it will respond, but at all times, even if it's been charged or not, I receive the same screen error as the image shown below.
http://yfrog.com/5bp1010080hj
I'd like to know what it means? I do have it in a charger (non-Apple, using the computer or wall plug for energy) but that image stills comes out
Any response would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Help. My iPod nano is stuck on repeat. it will only repeat the same song over and over. How can I change the settings

Help. My ipod nano is stuck on repeat. It repeats the same song over and over and wont play songs on the same album consecutively. How do I fix this

Hey cemccarty,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The option to turn off repeat will depend on your iPod nano model. Here is the information for the latest model, the iPod nano (7th generation):

If you have an earlier model of the iPod nano, see the relative user guide from this page:
