Ipod will only Copy 3 songs at a time

After the upgrade to firmware 1.2.2 and iTunes 7.5, my iPod has been somewhat, how should I say, unusable. After 10 restores, trying out 5 usb ports on 2 PC's, 2 cables, a Windows Check Disk, a Command Prompt Check Disk and restoring my firmware back to 1.2.1, I have finally gotten the iPod to show up on my PC and store music. However, it will not sync. I have tried to copy the songs over manually, but I can only do 3 at a time. If I try to do more than 3, I get error (Unknown Error [-69]).
There's no problems with actual song files because when I get this error I can then (individually) move over that very song it just failed on with no problems. So, it seems that I can't move more than 3 songs at a time. I have 11,000 songs to move over. Since the upgrade problems and subsequent restore wiped out my iPod, this would be an extremely tedious problem. Could it be the port on my iPod itself?
The Apple store is far from me and you have to make an appt way in advance. It's usually a nut-house in there. They told me to buy a new one. I couldn't believe my ears!!!! It's only 1 1/2 years old, and yes, out of warranty of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Win XP SP2 is running with all updates and I did try to reinstall/update all of my USB port drivers.

I forgot to add that I am currently running iTunes 6 (which was on the disc that the iPod came with) after completely uninstalling iTunes, Quicktime, iApple Mobile and Apple Software installs from Add/Remove Programs. I even use Windows Cleanup Utility to clean up the registry, but wasn't needed.
I'm a tech and I've put in at least 8 hours of time just to get to this point. And to think I blatantly announced to all of my PC tech buddies that this is the last PC I was going to own. I was intending to go all MAC from this point forward, but now I am not quite sure.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

IPod will only play "legit" songs after Vista upgrade

iPod 80 GB
Windows Vista Business
iTunes 7.1.1
Ever since I upgraded to Vista, my iPod will only play songs I personally ripped from CD's or bought from iTunes.
I do have songs downloaded from other sources (friend's bands sites) and the ipod starts to play them for one second and then the "time bar" goes fully blue and the song doesn't play.
It took me a full restore and reload to figure out that it was only the downloaded songs that wouldn't play.
Thanks in advance.

Quite a number of people have had similar issues because the songs are MP3/AAC using VBR (variable bit rate) and the VBR tags are not correct.

Ipod will only play single songs

i am not extremely adept with technology but i know some basics, i'm having trouble with my 30GB ipod video, it will only play single songs, if i choose an artist with more then one song in that category it automatically zooms through them all rapid fire and then returns to the main menu... i have no idea why or how this is happening, is it possible i have a virus of some type? if so, how can i get rid of it or fix this problem? i have tried resetting it several times and syncing several times, nothing has changed.... also my second problem is that the videos i have on my ipod will play but they do not play any sound...i am more concerned with the first problem tho. if anyone could offer some advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.

Do the songs play in the iTunes? However, usually if an iPod scrolls through all of the songs instead of playing them it is a software issue. I'd try restoring the iPod to factory settings and syncing the music again.

Also, with your second issue. Where are the videos from? If they were something you imported on your own check this out:
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

Since update iTunes will only play one song at a time.

I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it. iTunes will only play one song and then it's done. It won't continuously play from my libray. I have over 5000. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just can't find the solution. I even click on the next button and it stops.

Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.

Help! itunes will only play one song at a time

My itunes is acting screwy. I open a playlist and play the first song, and itunes only plays that song. it won't keep going forward. it doesn't freeze up; i just have to manually play the next song. this just started yesterday with no adjustments, new downloads...no nothing. does anyone know what is going on? i have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but to no avail. same problem. is this a setting somewhere that i don't know about?

Are the boxes beside each song checked? iTunes will only play the songs that are checked. To check all the songs press control + click in any box. To check only some songs, you can highlight them and then right click and choose check selection.

New 60G IPOD will only hold 4000 songs HELP

I just got my husband a new 60G IPod Photo and am trying to load songs for him. After only 4,000 songs, it says the IPOD is full. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to transfer about 13,000 songs - and on my computer harddrive, they only use a total of 52G - and I am getting really frustrated and confused. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If in iTunes it says the songs total up to 52GB then try restoring your iPod...

And then resync.
Also, make sure everything is updated...

ITunes will only play one song at a time, I can't select an album or artist and have it keep playing the next song.

I just can't figure out how to keep itunes going. It plays one song at a time and will not go on to the next. Do I need to change a setting or something?

At a guess you've somehow managed to uncheck the entire library. Select the Songs view, the CTRL+click an empty checkbox. All boxes should become checked. If you don't see the checkboxes use Edit > Preferences to enable them.

Play list on Blackberry 9300 will only play one song at a time since update to Desktop version 6

Since upgrading to version 6, my backberry 9300 won't play any more than one song at a time (unless you manually forward it to the next song), even when using a playlist.
I have tried every combination of shuffle/repeat and still no luck. Vodafone technical people cannot help either!
Please advise how I can get my blackberry curve 9300 to play the whole list OR an entire album without me having to advance every single song?

Hi
The obvious conclusion to reach is that this is a result of the upgrade to OS 6 and that to get back the facility you've lost would be achieved by going back to the old OS.
I do not have access to OS 6 so I cannot be specific, but it may be worth trying a different media app before any other action.

ITunes will only play one song at a time!

Can anyone help me? I've just swapped all my iTunes data to a new laptop and everything seems to be running fine, only when I click on a song in my library, it only plays that one then stops. How do I make it play the lot?
Thanks in advance

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - control-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

Itunes will only play one song at a time, not continuously through library

I recently had to reload all of my song files onto an external hard drive...and now only one song will play at a time from my itunes library,instead of it continuously playing through the entire library. why is this happening? Its driving me nuts.
Windows XP

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the library/playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. Hold down the Command key (⌘) and click on the check box beside any song in a list and the check marks will be toggled on or off: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
By the way you have posted in Using iTunes for Windows but I'm presuming from your profile that you are using iTunes for Mac. In Windows If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

My IPod will only play the same song in the playlist. What is happening?

My Ipod will only play one song (over and over) in a play list. It was workig fine and then all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please help.

Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
Hope this helps

My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time. It will not shuffle or continuously play an album. All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on. Any suggestions?

My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music. Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset. What am I missing? It has never done this before....

Only Plays One Song at a Time ???

I'm trying to listen to albums in my library but iTunes will only play one song at a time, very annoying to have to down arrow and click play after every song. How can I make iTunes play through my library without stopping?
I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) and YES all the songs are checked.
Thanks~

<SOLVED>
I disabled the Ping drop-down from the Terminal with:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown -bool TRUE
and viola! Now my library plays without stopping after just one song. Not sure why this fixed my problem but it did? I guess it's just another reason to get rid of Ping!
