Itunes endlessly repeats downloading same song

Hi,
I have (only) a dial-up connection, so this is especially annoying. I have purchased three full albums, which takes a long time download. So I've broken it up into several different sessions. The problem is that for the last three songs of the first album purchased, itunes keep repeating the downloads. So, for example, it downloads song a, then song b and once that is done, it automatically "re-adds" song a and b back onto my yet-to-be-downloaded'" purchased music. Consequently, I now have five song a's and five song b's on my purchased music list and can never move on because it seems to be caught in a loop.
What can I do?
Rebecca

Tap anywhere on the "Now Playing" screen to display the additional song controls.
Tap the repeat control until it turns white.  Blue is repeat all songs, blue with a circled 1 means repeat the current song over and over, white mens repeat is OFF.

  • DL'd the recent iTunes version and now shuffle repeats the same song over and over

    Shuffle IS on and it keeps repeating the same song over and over and over again.  I have over 200 songs in that particular playlist.  If I click on another song, it does the same thing.
    I saw someone else with a similar problem, and checked that shuffle is on correctly.  But when I click on the top to see what songs are coming next, it shows the same song repeated down the list.
    Also, it has stopped in the middle of a couple of songs and restarted the song just before freezing up on my computer.
    This upgrade *****.

    aye, so many people have done this!
    it's all in the manual though http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf

  • Never used itunes before, have downloaded a song onto laptop but cant get it in ipod nano please help

    New to itunes managed to download a song to laptop but cant get on to ipod nano(plugged into laptop) or iphone or ipad

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • ITunes up next listing same song indefinitely

    Today I wanted to listen to music on my laptop while doing  the xword but couldn't get a playlist to play, iTunes seems to decide what it wants me to hear. Tried getting the up next box to play what i want & discovered eventually it will only repeat the same song....like it's stuck somehow. Help, please? Thanks.

    If you go to the Controls menu are you able to set Repeat to Off?
    Best of luck.

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • 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:

  • How do I get my ipod to quit repeating the same song over and over?

    How do I get my ipod nano to quit repeating the same song over and over again?

    The control for repeating a selection is available when the Music app is open and the iPhone is in the portrait position. There are three settings Off, repeat one song and repeat album or playlist. You change the setting by tapping the icon.
    OFF
    Repeat one song (current selection)
    Repeat album or playlist

  • How do i get my music off repeat. the same song keeps repeating.

    I am having difficulty getting my ipod touch off repeat. It just keep repeating the same song. I tried shuffle and it just goes to the next song and keeps repeating that song.
    does anyone have a solution for this dilemma?  James Jr.

    Turn off the repeat control. If you touch the screen in album view this control will be to the left side of the scrubber bar.

  • HT4993 my phone repeat the same song all the time, and i want to know what can i do to automatic pass to others songs

    You probably have Repeat turned on.  While playing the song, tap the cover art to reveal the additional music controls (see photo below).  Tap the Repeat control  on the bottom left until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

  • My iphone 4 repeats the same song.

    My iphone 4 repeats the same song over and over again. No matter how I seleceted (either playlist or album or artist...)
    Also there is no scrollbar (timeline) and no button for repeat and shuffle as there used to be in the music player. Whats wrong - how can I change it back?
    Thx

    Hi again,
    I also tapped on the album cover - nothing happened.
    BUT after a hard reset (home + start button) this worked again. Timeline and options repeat and shuffle came back!!!
    I am a happy camper now... ;-)
    Take care

  • I put iPod on "songs, shuffle" but the shuffle isn't random!  Same artist repeats often, same songs repeat before other songs are played.  With over 2000 songs on the iPod, I shouldn't be getting repeats very often.  Anybody else?

    Shuffle is not perfect. What you are experiencing is normal.

  • When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on.  While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below).  Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

  • Downloaded same song twice

  • I keep having to download same songs from cloud.  Any suggestions?

    So i have three devices on a Match account- Windows PC and 2 iPhones.  We recently downloaded all songs in our Match via wifi to one of the phones.  Some of the Match songs were downloaded to the other phone.  This weekend both phones had music one day and the next most of the music was gone.  I had to reset all the settings on Match and wifi on each phone- sign off and then sign back on- and only then did some of the songs and playlist restore from the cloud.  Eventually all songs came back but now on the phone where all was downloaded only a portion of the songs show they have been downloaded.  At least half show they now need to be downloaded from the Cloud again.  Any suggestions?   

    There is some Sony media management software often preinstalled on Vaio systems that causes a conflict with iTunes saving its library database file.
