ITunes doesn't play the next song, it just stops after one track.

I have iTunes 11.0.1. When I play a song in my playlist, I expect the next song to start as the first one ends, but iTunes stops and doesn't play the next song. I'm missing some sort of setting but what?
It's not a smart playlist, just a playlist of favorite music I've built up over the years.
Mountain Lion.

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 - Command-click will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

  • TS3274 My iPad plays a song and then stops; I press manually for next song, but it either plays same song, a different song that I pressed, or will play the next song, but keeps stopping after every song I play.  Help?

    When I go to play songs the iTunes will play a song then stops (repeat all or one song is not on and also shuffle is not on); I manually click for next song an it wll ( play the next song and stops, it will play same song and then stops, or it will play a song randomly and then stops) .  Help!

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app on your iOS device.

  • TS1718 I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list

    I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list. It simply stops after playing one song.

    That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
    Go into Song view and Ctrl-click (on Windows) or Command-click (on Mac OS) one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
    If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

  • Itunes doesn't play the video anymore

    Help! ITunes doesn't play the video clips anymore just the sound works.
    I've restarted, quit the other applications but no result.
    What can I do ?
    Thank you for your suggestions.
    ITunes 8.1
    QuickTime 7.6
    Mac OS 10.5.6
    Mac Pro 2x3 GHz
    RAM 8 Go

    If you are playing through remote speakers, iTunes 8.1 will not play the video. Previous versions would play fine using only the computer's speakers, but 8.1 requires the remote airtunes speakers be deselected.

  • How do I disable "up next" on itunes 11 (or at least make it play the next song in my playlist and not some random one)

    ITunes 10 was great and I heard nothing but horror stories about 11 so I didn't upgrade until I got my new computer and pushed my music over.  In fact, I accidentally hit update and disconnected my computer from the Internet to stop it from happening, but was too late and now I'm stuck with it.
    When I play a song and the song ends, instead of playing the next song on the list, it plays some random other song.  When I "clear list," iTunes doesn't play anything at all.  What gives?  What happened to the greatest media player?  As a pro audio engineer, I've got over 150Gb of music and this just doesn't fly.  I HAVE to have my music in order and if iTunes can't do that, what is its purpose?
    Help, please.

    iTunes 11 works fine on my computer...   I think you need to check the "Shuffle" settings in all of your playlists, including the main library...   It sounds like for whatever reason, iTunes is automatically shuffling your playlists...  

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • Many of my older ITunes downloads play perfectly well on my IMac but constantly skip to the next song or suddenly stop playing on my IPhone. The problem is the same with both my old 4s and my new 5s. I have tried deleting and re-downloading to the phones.

    Many of my older ITunes downloads play perfectly well on my IMac but constantly skip to the next song or suddenly stop playing on my IPhone. The problem is the same with both my old 4s and my new 5s  phones. I have tried deleting and re-downloading my music library to the phones, but the result is always the same.

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected.  ***?  How do I fix this?!?!?

    After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected.  ***?  How do I fix this?!?!?

    I found that clearing the "Up Next" list fixes the problem.  But I have to clear that list everytime I just want to hear just that one album.  Each time I select on song on the album, the "Up Next" list builds it's own list rather than just play through the album.  I think this has something to do with the issue.  How can I fix this?!?!

  • ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

    Hello,
    I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
    I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
    Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.
    Ilona T.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Odd iTunes glitch -- always plays the same song, after the song I selected...

    After one song plays on iTunes, it always next plays one particular song -- not the next song on the list, but a specific track, every time. I'd like iTunes to simply play the next track down. How can I fix this?... thanks very much --

    Do you have the the Repeat feature turned one? It is the arrowed racetrack on the left side of the Now Playing Screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it is white for no repeat.
    Next:
    - 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.

  • When playing music, at the end of a song, instead of playing the next song in an album, it repeats the song that was just played

    When playing music on an Ipod Nano, at the end of a song, instead of playing the next song in an album.  The previous song repeats.  Any help?

    Check the iTunes Playback preferences and see if the Crossfade Playback option is turned on. If it is, you can either uncheck it or alter the slider to a more pleasing setting.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I play my music from my playlist it will not advance to the next song, it just repeats the song over.  I have to advance to the next song manually.

    When I am playing my music it will not advance to the next song, it just keeps repeating the song.  The only way to go to the next song is to do it manually.  It just started this after the last update.  How do I fix it, hard to listen to at the gym.

    Check the song and see if repeat is activated. Down in the bottom left corner is repeat when the music is running. It would have a colored box around it if it is active. It would either read Repeat Song, or Repeat Playlist.
