i tried turning shuffle off and on, what that does is the songs remain in their place but when they finish playing they go to a song that isnt next on the playlist. Sort of a double-shuffle. Anyway, not that i know how to move songs around on a playlist, but even if i did i shouldnt have to move the songs back to place manually. Isnt there an option that puts songs in their correct places?

  • Itunes keeps shuffling the songs out of order when i burn a CD

    I have no idea why this is happening. The shuffle is turned off. I just installed the new version with the same results. Thanks in advance for any help.

    It is a weird bug that shows up unpredictably.
    The following workaround sometimes help: start a new playlist and add the same songs to it. Make sure the little triangle is above the number column, and get the songs into the right order. Then do the burn from the new playlist.

  • ITunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    iTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist on my iphone (4 I thnk).  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand sideiTunes keep repeating a song in my playlist.  The repeat icon is no longer on the upper right hand side

    I looked under file but I couldn't find the "Genius & Playlist" option. I also looked under the other options on the top left side but I couldn't find it there either. And all "Genius suggestions" does for me is show similar songs already purchased in my library. It doesn't show me anything new that I haven't purchased.

  • TS2530 iTunes keeps "updating" my songs information without my consent

    iTunes keeps modifying my songs information such as "year, track number, compositor" wich I usually have in blank, and don't want to have that information! Anyway to stop that?

    Why can't you set it to manually update?
    Connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Set it to manually manage music. Click OK.
    Why doesn't that work?

  • ITunes is shuffling my songs in Album View without shuffling on

    In album view, itunes is shuffling certain songs for no reason - it wasn't doing this a few days ago. I DO NOT have shuffling ticked, and itunes only seems to shuffle songs that are grouped together in the "Unknown Album" section of each artist, all of which have no track number. I do not want to assign track numbers to every song in this group. Strangely, it doesn't shuffle songs in named albums. Please does anyone have an answer to this?
    Look at this example below. If I play the first song in the Unkown Album section "The Beginning Is The End Is...", then the next song itunes plays is the first song of the Album "Gish": "I Am One".
    However, if I start with the song "Eye", then order goes:
    Eye -> The End Is The Beginning Is The End -> [Untitled] -> The Beginning Is The End Is -> "Gish" Album...
    HELP!!!

    As soon as I read this message I did a cartoon style 'boggle take' - you know, the eyeballs telescope in and out several times. I had no idea you could delete songs from a smart list. Indeed, when in the name of science I tried to do so on my Mac, I couldn't.
    So I can give you no advice on why/what is happening. But leg me suggest this. Make your smart list and then create a new normal list. Drag the music in the smart list into the normal (empty) list. Now delete the music from the normal list and sync that. It will, at least, allow you to edit your play list without deleting songs.

  • ITunes keeps restoring deleted songs/won't delete songs

    I just realized that I posted this question accidentally in the iTunes for Mac forum so I figured I'd ask here since I'm actually a PC user.
    I tried absolutely every suggestion in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17046601#17046601) and nothing is working for me.
    I'm in the main music library, not a playlist.  The files are not read-only.
    I've tried deleting the files every which way I can think of.  I've tried deleting them in both iTunes and Windows explorer.  Every time I do, they always temporarily show up as being deleted from iTunes but then they just magically come right back the next time I restart iTunes or sync my iPhone.
    I can delete all of my songs except for these five (which I legitimately purchased from the iTunes store).
    I think it's a problem with permissions.  I'm the administrator and yet I've tried editing the permission on the files. When I do, it shows that I have indeed edited the permission on the files giving all users (including myself) the right to delete these five annoying files that won't delete.  But then as soon as I do that and then try deleting them in iTunes or via windows explorer (even if I empty the recycle bin, it doesn't matter) the files just pop right back up in iTunes and Windows Explorer and revert back to their original permission state.
    I've even tried renaming the files and then deleting them and then emptying my recycle bin and then closing down iTunes and then restarting iTunes and it still restores these five songs (even though the other 10 or so songs I deleted at the same time deleted just fine and haven't come back).
    Does anybody have any ideas on how I can delete these songs?  They're not corrupted so far as I can tell, they play fine.  I just really hate them.  They're like the bloody zombies, everytime you think you've finally found a way to kill them, they keep coming back to life.

    Sorted- no idea how but it was one combination of switching icloud downloads off, on, syncing 0 then all music, ejecting, reconnecting, and turning itunes and ipod off and on did the trick!

  • ITunes keeps synching extra songs when none are selected.

    I have recently decided to redo the way I sync my music to my iPhone because I kept getting duplicate songs and playlists wouldn't sync correctly (and I don't think it's worth it to get iTunes Match). I cleared all of the music off of my iPhone 6 manually to start from scratch, and checked in my phone's settings and even that said 0 songs. I went to sync my phone in iTunes and deselected all albums, songs, playlists and even removed all "manually added songs" and even unchecked sync music so that nothing is set to sync from anywhere (as far as I can tell). Even after this, every time I hit apply, iTunes syncs 67 songs to my phone. The songs are not all the same artist or albums and I can't find anywhere they might come from. I am running Yosemite 10.10 and iOS 8.1. Since my problem is with duplicate songs on my phone I would like to get this resolved before I continue with reworking my library. Any help is appreciated.

    I also have the same problem but with two ipods ( one Shuffle 3g 2gig and one nano 6g 8gig) and so i had the shuffle for about a year and the nano i got last week so i restored the shuffle and i put both ipods on sync checked songs only because i gave the shuffle to my younger sister and she only wanted a few songs on her ipod and i did not want her songs on my ipod so i went on the apple support website and saw how to do that and what i tried was to make one playlist and put my sisters songs on that playlist and only check off that playlist to sync the shuffle. when i synced my nano i unchecked all of my sisters songs, the playlist and the albums they were in. But, when i looked at the songs on my ipod all of her songs were on my nano! I think why the songs are still on my nano is because the songs are still in the same genre as some of my songs so my solution would be to take ALL of the songs you do not want on your ipod and simply give them a genre name like itunes only and try that.
    Bye hope this helped and sorry for my post being so long

  • My iTunes keeps randomly deleting songs.

    I know it isn't because it's full, I don't have enough for that to be the problem, but over time I go to look for a song I know I purchased and it's missing from my library. When I go to the store to find the song or album, it asks me to buy it again as if i never had. It's driving me crazy and I don't want to keep paying for music twice. Help!

    I estimate iTunes really randomly deleting files and the iTunes Store really completely forgetting you ever purchased an item at about my chances as winning the lottery (for which I never buy tickets).
    Do you have more than one AppleID?  You cannot merge AppleIDs and items purchased with one will remain permanently associated with that ID, thereby not appearing in the Store as purchased if you log on with a different ID.

  • HT1351 iTunes keeps adding back songs that are unchecked and manually deleted from my iPhone?

    I am trying to get rid of songs on my iphone.  I sync manually only certain playlists, I have double checked to make sure that these songs are neither in my playlists and or unchecked if they are in the Purchased Playlist for example?  I have manually deleted them from my iphone only to have itunes add them back once I sync
    What am I missing?

    I am also having a similar problem. I have at least 100 songs I deleted from my itunes library and from my iphone that keep showing back up on my iphone. I have manually deleted them repeatedly from my iphone and yet they continue to show back up on the phone. They are not listed in my library so I have no idea where they are coming back from as they are not in the cloud either. I have also emptied the trash on my Macbook, so they cannot be coming from there either I would love for this to stop, as I keep getting a statement that my iphone is full, but if these 100 songs would stay off of my phone that woulld not be the case.

  • ITunes keeps freezing during songs

  • ITunes keeps starting the song over again

    I just got the new version of iTunes (7.0.1) and the songs work fine until I try and add the album art. As soon as I add the album art the song will play for the first 3-5 seconds and then start again about 1-5 times before it continues to play the song. This is really starting to get annoying, can anyone help?
      Windows XP  

    My problem is that ITunes plays my songs but keeps on "pausing" "skipping" on tracks for a couple of secondsa then continues. I thought it was my PC but all the songs work on Windows media player. Any suggestions Ver 7.0.2.16?

  • 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,

  • ITunes keeps saying a song is not authorized to play??

    I just bought an album on iTunes (same account I always use, the only one computer I have), and for some reason only ONE of the songs is telling me "This song is not authorized to play on your computer." I tried typing in my info to see if that would work, but it didn't, it said this computer is already authorized (which I already knew, because every other song on my iTunes plays, including all the other songs on this particular album). I followed all the tips on the support website for this particular issue and nothing worked. I also went into my account, deauthorized all the computers (my old computers that I don't have anymore were still on there), then reauthorized this one, and still no luck. How do I get this song to play?! So frustrating!

    Nevermind, I decided to delete the file and went to re-buy it. The store prompted me to download it for free since I had already purchased it, so I re-downloaded, and the new file is playing. Whew!
