ITunes "next song/forward" button instead restarts current song

This just started happening to me. Every time I try to skip to the next song, iTunes instead just restarts the current song. It was happening with iTunes 8, I installed 8.2, it's still happening; it happens if I push the button with my mouse OR if I use the key control to advance to the next song. I'm using a Macbook. Help, it's really annoying!

oh for gods sake. for some reason it was set on "repeat one song." I AM SORRY FOR BEING A MORON XO.

I've had itunes on my laptop for over a year; it seems to arbitrarily duplicate songs and now, instead of 800 songs, I have 3,500 with 2,700 being dupes. How do I get rid of the dupes?

Restart current song while iTunes is not the current active app

In prior iTunes 11 / Mtn. Lion when using an Apple keyboard the F7 key when pressed would re-start a song that was playing with one press, and go to the previous with 2. This functionality has changed so that now it will go to the previous track with one press.
Is there a way to change the functionaly back or, add a separate key command that allows me to restart the current song when iTunes is not the currently active app?
Thanks!

I have a SteelSeries Shift keyboard, and experienced the same problem after updating to 10.4.
Found this little piece of software to fix the problem for me:
http://code.google.com/p/hktunes/
It's not ideal, as it has to run in the system tray in order to work, but it's way better than being without the functionality of the hotkeys, untill the problem is fixed.
Hope this works for you guys as well!

Why is the advance song forward button backwards?

This isn't really a big deal, but it has persisted long enough to be a catalyst for me to post in this forum. I frequently use iTunes 11 in its minimized state in the task bar of my Windows 7 operating system. For some reason, when I go to advance a song in the preview window of the task bar, the advance song button is backwards. Hopefully, you can see my screen grab below. I'm wondering if this is just unique to my CPU. A cursory community search didn't net me any past discussions of this finding. (Then again, I didn't search too hard.)

Try this:
Select an email that does not show all the correct buttons in the header information section above the actual message.
right click on the blank area just above 'Other Actions', you should get a popup saying 'Customise'.
click on 'Customise'
a new window opens.
you can drag items onto that header area, but I would suggest you click on 'Restore Default Set' button and then clickon 'Done' button.

Forward Button malfunctioning.. :( :( HELP pls!!!

Hey a couple of weeks back my out of warranty ipod started acting a little crazy.. the problem is that now a majority of the time when i press the forward button to change a song or do any thing on the ipod the hold switch gets activated even when the hold switch is not in the hold position.... it is very scary as the ipod is now out of warrany does any one have any advice as to what can be done??

1) Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
2) Use the "Code" formatting tags when posting code so the code is readable.
what lines should i put in order for my button to call another form that is from another file.How to you create and show your NewEntity frame? You created an instance of the class and set it visible.
So there is no difference showing another frame or dialog that is defined in a separate class. You simply create an instance of the class and make it visible.

When i am listening to a song with my itunes plugged in, and I unplug to do something else, then plug it back in, it no longer keeps the current song, so my songs restart every time.

How do i keep my current song or current place within a playlist when i remove my phone from the charger? It didnt always restart my songs from where i left off.

Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,

Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

Select a song to play next (after current song)

I love iTunes, but for me it's just missing one thing....
I can't (at least I don't know how) select a certain song from my playlist to play AFTER the current song is finished... If it would have that function, or a way to do this, it would be ALL I need for a music player.
Is there a way in iTunes to select the song to play next?
And/or arrange your playlist in the way (the order of songs) you want?

*Is there a way in iTunes to select the song to play next?*
iTunes doesn't have the "queuing" option you describe (except within the Party shuffle function which queues songs and within which you can drag songs into order). If you'd like to see an option like this in some futer version of iTunes you can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
*And/or arrange your playlist in the way (the order of songs) you want?*
Open the playlist and click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move, hold down the mouse button and drag the song to where you want it to be. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.

ITunes 8 forward button doesn't work

Ever since upgrading the forward button no longer works. When I hit it, the current song stops playing, and I have to hit it again to go to the next one.
Is this something others are experiencing?

Very very strange. It seems like it resolved itself once I switched back and forth from shuffle to nonshuffle. If anyone else has this issue, try that, maybe it with you too.

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

*New tab toolbar button: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-toolbar-button/

How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

In iTunes, is there any way to play one song at at time and have the song stop at its end. I want to play guitar with a track and have that track stop playing rather than going to the next song.

I want to play a single song in iTunes on my ipad and have the track stop when the song finishes, rather than itunes playing the next track. I play guitar with the track and need iTunes to stop at the end of the song.
I have worked around this issue by creating a separate play list for each song, then inserting the song into the play list. I would like to find a more straight forward solution that would eliminate this extra step. On my PC, I use QuickTime to bring up an individual song and then can play one track at a time.
Thanks!

On the IPod if the shuffle icon is colored blue it is ON, if it is colored white it is OFF. This control is global, if it is ON any album or list will be shuffled.

In the upper part of Firefox there is normally a box to type in URL's. I have lost that box/area. Along with that I have no back of forward buttons to view the last/next internet pages. Can you help?

"Go to Current Song" freezes iTunes 11.1

…on both my early 2009 24-in iMac using 10.8.5 and my early 201115-in MacBookPro.
Anyone else? Any ideas?
AND: did we just loose scroll bars in the library/playlist section, or have we been without for a while?
Thanks.

Hm. Yeah, it seems to freeze it for me too. I don't remember that happening yesterday - maybe because I'm currently playing a podcast?
I'd already noticed that iTunes 11.1 was freezing whenever I tried to go to the next or previous song in the Get Info section: I'd asked about it here, but so far no responses.
Well, "Go to Current Song" has left iTunes hanging for about 3-4 minutes now - I'll give it another few minutes before Force Quitting it. Man, I have been Force Quitting iTunes A LOT in the past few days!
I currently see a scroll bar in the library/playlist section - you mean the lefthand column in iTunes, right? There's a scroll bar there right now, but, well, iTunes has frozen so I can't do much with it.

N one of my 'playlists' in Itunes it comes up to about the 7th song and when finished skips to about the 47th song?, instead of going to

In one of my 'playlists' in Itunes it comes up to about the 7th song and when finished skips to about the 47th song?, instead of going to #8 What gives?

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.
