ITunes freezes after playing one song

Since upgrading to the new iTunes that was released today, after playing one song in iTunes in Windows, the program freezes and the only way out is to End Process on it. This only happens the first time that Windows starts up. After iTunes freezes and I End Process on it, and then run it again, it doesn't have this problem until the next time that Windows starts up.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Turns out "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was doing something that held up the computer when I used iTunes. So I followed these steps to disable the service permanently (since I don't use Windows Media Player): http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/fix-wmpnetwk-exe-in-windows-7/

  • Itunes freezes after playing 10+ songs

    Anyone else have this happen? I click around listening to samples, then after about 10 itunes will not play another. I can get it to work again by closing itunes and closing the process itunes.exe.
    Thanks.

    I am not sure, but try repairing it with itunes setup. If that dosnt work try reinstalling itunes. if that dosnt work, then i have no idea. =(

  • 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.

  • After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song

    After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song. Song progress indicator actually stops working after 30 seconds or so and iTunes can no longer be closed. However, the song finishes playing, but the next one will not start.
    I tried on different computers, with different iTunes libraries, both on internal and external media. It ALWAYS happens.
    Any suggestions?

    I downgrade to itunes 10.6.3 and the error still appears.
    I have to download this utility http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-ie3-mac.php
    And I deleted this file:
    /private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB
    That fix the problem.
    Now my iphone is working without issues on latest version of itunes 10.7

  • 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.

  • How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

    How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

    When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
    If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
    now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

  • ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do  I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

    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 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 won't play one song after another automatically.

    I have an iMac . iTunes has always played one selection after another automatically, and I am not talking about shuffle. I downloaded an audio book (Mp3 files) which loaded into music, but I have to choose each segment manually, it won't play one segment sequentially automatically.

    Are the selections un-checked?  Items that are not checked will not automatically play.  If they are checked, go into Get Info and see if you have the "Skip when shuffling" option set -- if it is, and if you happen to have Shuffle turned on, they won't play.

  • My iPhone 4 stops after playing one song on any playlist after updating to IOS 5

    Hi all.
    I just upated my iphone to IOS 5 and my music playlists will only play one song, or a few songs and stop even when hundreds of songs are listed on that playlists.
    The top arrows allowing to enable "repeat playlist" or "repeat one song" work but the playlist just won't play or shuffle.
    I also realized that while the phone is on this freeze mode the "play icon" shows as it is playing but the timer won't move so the song is stopped.
    When it does play a song it shows the wrong picture of the album as well.
    Anyone having the same issue?

    I have the same issue. Some songs play, while others do not. The play indicator says it's playing, however the time indicator never moves. Can't tell what the difference is between the songs that play and those that don't until I get home tonight and can check iTunes. Tried a hard reboot of the iPhone (4) but that did nothing.
    This all began this AM following the iOS 5 upgrade.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Itunes on Windows plays one song from library and stops

    I am a new ipod owner and new to itunes. Loaded many CD's, videos and audiobooks without difficulty into itunes 6.0.4.2. Library of songs is extensive but trying to play songs from library results in itunes playing ONLY one selected song. I must re-select another song in order to play another. It will not continue to play the songs in the library. I have re-installed itunes and that did not correct the problem. Also tried selecting multiple songs and still itunes only plays the 1st song of the list. Obviously I've done something wrong or have not done something that is required. I've check all I know and have also not found this problem in the discussion groups. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    This'll happen when all of the checkboxes are unchecked. iTunes will only play unchecked songs if they are directly clicked.
    To check all songs, ctrl+check one.

  • ITunes is only playing one song at a time.  What gives?

    I just installed iTunes on new laptop and it won't play more than one song in a row.
    Suggestions?

    Are there check marks beside all the songs in the list? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. 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

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.
