Ipod touch in shuffle mode keeps repeating same song

Why does my ipod touch keep repeating the same song continually when it's in shuffle mode?

Turn off repeat.
Play the song, tap the repeat icon until it is white=off.

My new nano keeps repeating same song...how do I get it to go to next on list or at least duffle?

My new nano keeps repeating same song...how do I get it to go to next on list or at least duffle?

I have an iPod Nano 7th generation and I know of a couple of ways to shuffle the playlists. When you select the Playlist, from Home>Music>Playlists, there is a shuffle feature at the top of the screen that will shuffle that individual playlist. Also, if you tap the screen quickly while the one song is repeating, a menu will come up with the ability to select repeat, which is the icon on the left. I'm guessing if you were to tap the repeat button it would turn the repeat feature off. Another way to shuffle is to shake the Nano while the screen is lighted, and a song is playing. This shaking will shuffle ALL playlists. Of course you need to have the shuffle feature activated which you can do from Home>Settings>Music and making sure the "Shake to shuffle feature" is ON.

TS3474 keeps repeating same song automatically

My nano keeps repeating same song automatically- I can manually change to the next song.

It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

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 Touch 4th Gen starts from the same song

I recently updated my iPod Touch 4th gen, 32 GB to iOS 6.1.2, from 5.1.1. I skipped iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, and 6.1.1. After the update, I noticed that when I play music from my "All Music" list, my iPod always starts on the same song, no matter what song I listened to last. Sometimes it starts at a song that's farther down the list, but I haven't been able to figure out what circumstances caused it to start at that song. To make things more confusing, once it chooses a different song, it always starts from that song.
I have confirmed that Shuffle and Repeat are both OFF. This issue occurs whether I have recently charged/synced my iPod or not. It also occurs after I perform a hard restart on the iPod. I have not tried restoring it, because I have not had time to dedicate the several hours it would take to re-install iOS and copy all of my stuff back onto it.
My computer is running Windows 7, 32-bit. My iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has questions relating to this issue, I'd be happy to answer them.

I didn't mention this in my initial post because I didn't think it was relevant, but the Home button on my iPod doesn't work. I've been using the virtual home button provided by turning Assistive Touch on.
I did try the first solution you suggested, but nothing happened. I'll make another post when I try the second method.
On a side note, and if it makes any difference, the device in question is not a phone. It's an iPod Touch.

ITunes keeps repeating same song

I'm trying to listen to some of my music from my Windows desktop. I locate the album I want and start the first song, but it won't advance to the next song - it just keeps repeating the first song. I have iTunes 12.0.1.26.
Anyone know what I am not doing correctly?
Thanks,
Diane Koers

I touch music shuffle not working. Same song plays over and over. How do I fix?

The shuffle for my iTouch is not working. It ontinues to play the asme song over and over. I have powered on and off many times as well as re-syncing the unit. I would try to take the battery out to reset but do not know how. What next?

Sounds like the Repeat option has been enabled. To disable it, tap the artwork of the currently playing track to bring up the additional controls. Under the scrubber bar on the left hand side is the repeat setting. Tap it until it turns white meaning that it is off.

Even when I shuffle a playlist, the same song keeps repeating.

Tap on the album art and make sure the circular repeat arrow isn't blue with a little one next to it.

Random mode repeats same songs in previous sequence

My new 1GB shuffle doesn't seem to truly play back songs in random order. Whenever I select random mode, I hear the same songs I played previously--in the exact same order I heard them in before! Here's the sequence of events:
1. I load the shuffle from my iTunes library.
2. I listen to maybe 20 songs in random mode, then turn off the shuffle.
3. The next time I turn on the shuffle in random mode, the same 20 songs I heard previously play back in the same order they were originally played. I have to skip through all of them to get to new material.
4. I lsiten to maybe 20 more songs, then shut it off.
5. The next time I listen, the same songs form both occasions play back in the precise order they were previously played in. Again I have to skip ahead manually.
6. Stages 3 through 5 repeat each time I listen to more music.
I don't know if this is happening because of a fault in the firmware, or if it's a problem with the shuffle's flash memory system. Either way, the shuffle won't reset altogether when I enter random mode; it retains the songs it played before, and in the order played. Perhaps another firmware rev is needed to fix the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this with their shuffle?

I found an article that says we're both kinda right (the bold is my formatting):
"The iPod shuffle includes a handy shortcut for going back to the beginning of its playlist: just press Play/Pause three times and the shuffle will start playing at the beginning of the first song. (You don't even have to say, "There's no place like home.")
If the iPod is in shuffle mode, it will reorder the playlist before starting over. You can use this trick to quickly get to songs at the end of the playlist, too. Just triple-click to go to the start, then press Previous to wrap around and get to the last song. While other iPods let you choose whether they start over or stop when finishing a playlist, the iPod shuffle always starts over, for the sake of simplicity, which makes this tip work. (It also works on other iPods if you turn on Repeat All in the settings. But other iPods have screens, which makes them somewhat easier to navigate.)"
It's actually a pretty informative article.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account. should I have a different account for each device? If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

How do you unsync resync ipod touch apps? It keeps booting me off.
