ITunes only playing one second of audio

Yesterday, my iTunes was working fine, but this morning for some reason it only plays one second (if that) of any song/file in my playlist if the iTunes window is up. When I minimize iTunes, the file plays perfectly, but when the window is up, I'm just getting it jumping around through my files.
When I press pause, iTunes doesn't pause, it just continues skipping through my files until I close the program and reopen it.
I have the latest iTunes version (8.0.2), but I can't see where that would be the problem, because I didn't install it last night.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. . .

My bad...
I discovered last night that when I set up my speakers using a headphone 4 output monitor amp that the outputs weren't going stereo panned left/right.  Not iTunes fault, mine.

  • TS5181 I downloaded a song but even after the download is complete, it only plays one second of the song and then it ends.

    I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time ... help please

    All of my songs are checked, but iTunes only plays one song at a time. I can't figure out why. Any suggestions? It just started doing this.

    You don't mean you want it to play multiple tracks at the same time, do you? Like where you would hit play and ALL the songs would start playing at the same time?
    Or do you mean iTunes will only play one song then stop rather than going on to the next one?

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time, it wont play my playlist or library

    all of a sudden my itunes will only play one song and then stop and when i press the "next" button, it just stops the song playing. and now there are check boxes in front of each song and i dont know what it means? i just want to be able to put my library on shuffle and play through them!!

    The check boxes have been there for as long as I can remember. You can see them in screenshots back as far as iTunes 1: iTunes Screenshots
    The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
    The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
    Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time

    After much toing and froing on my new computer, I now have all my songs re-imported into the library. However, iTunes will now only play one song at a time: after it plays one song it just halts; the forward arrow is just greyed out. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Try checking all of those little boxes. To check all at once, hold ctrl while checking one.

  • ITunes only playing one song at a time

    Since the 7.6 upgrade in January, my iTunes is only playing one song before stopping. Do I need to reinstall? Will wiping out the instance of iTunes on my PC blow away my music or video libraries?
    Thanks in advance

    just curious, I have a large library (over 6K songs) and I used to have them all 'checked' so I could play until my hearts content...now, all the checkmarks are gone. I really don't want to click all 6K song titles and when I 'select all' it doesn't add a checkmark. I searched the knowledge base, but a solution to this simple request seems to be evading me.
    Can you provide me any suggestions to get ALL my songs with a checkmark?

  • Itunes only plays one song at the time

    My Itunes plays only one song at the time. If I try to play the next one by pressing the "forward" button Itunes stops playing.
    What now????

    Are the songs 'checked'?
    iTunes only plays the next checked song when pressing the forward button.
    To check/uncheck all songs, command-click on one of the checkboxes preceding the name of the song.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iTunes only plays one song

    All of a sudden, my iTunes will only play one song and then stop. I have to choose each song to make it play. Any clues?

    Select all of the songs and right-click (or control click) and choose the option to check selection. It should put the check back on all of them.I think you can also shift click or command click in the box and it will do the same. (not sure on that)

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time after upgrade to 6.0.1

    This is MOST annoying!! When I play music from either library or playlists on my computer only one song plays and then it is done.It doesn't crash or anything, it just stops. I can click the repeat button till the cows come home and only one song plays--and doesn't repeat even if repeat song is checked. This is not a case of a playlist with "song preview" only playing the first song--this is any song, anywhere. Anyone else have this porblem? I have searched everywhere I could find and have not seen any reference to this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    P.S.--I HATE upgrading iTunes! Had I not gotten a new pod for Christmas I would still be on 5 (after all the problems getting it to work with my POP mail program).

    Just to the left of every song is a little box. When you click it, a check mark appears in it and the box turns blue. iTunes will only "automatically" play checked songs. Unchecked songs get skipped.
    So if all your songs are unchecked, iTunes will do exactly what you're describing it as doing. It'll play anything you tell it to, then stop, because it doesn't play unchecked songs unless you specifically tell it to play them.
    Go to the Library, hit CTRL-A to select all your songs, then right click one of them and select "Check Selected Songs" or something to that effect. This will check all those songs and your problem is solved.

  • ITunes 8.0 only Plays One Song at a Time, then Stops! AARGH!

    Someone, please help. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail.
    For some reason, when I play a song in my Music Library on my laptop iTunes 8.0, it stops playing after each song. When the song ends, iTunes stops; it does not move to the next song in my library, it just stops. I have to click on the next song to play that song, and when that song is done it stops.
    I have tried creating Music Playlists, does not help. I have tried checking and unchecking the Repeat and Shuffle options, still nothing.
    This does not happen on my iPods, only when I play songs in my Music Library on iTunes from my laptop.
    If you have any suggestions for a solution, please tell me. I am beyond frustrated having to click on the next song every time.

    I have the same problem with iTunes only playing one track at a time. It didn't use to be this way ... and seems to have developed after one of the recent updates (late December 2008).
    I did, however, find that the problem was "solved" by checkmarking all the tracks that I expect to hear played. However, this won't work for me because ... as it has always been in the past ... I use these check boxes to tell iTunes which tracks to synchronize to my iPod. Since my desktop library is many times larger than can be loaded onto my iPod, I obviously cannot check all of the tracks.
    Since when did these check marks become **ALSO** a signal to tell iTunes what tracks to play continuously on iTunes?!?
    Previously, I have **ONLY** used these check-marks to signal to iTunes the tracks that should be synchronized to my iPod.
    If the foregoing advice (check-marking all songs to be played continuously on **iTunes** ... then it would appear that the programmers have introduced a conflict of functions in the iTunes user interface.
    The check-mark system is a simple and intuitive method to select which tracks to synchronize to the iPod ... it is not at all intuitive that you would be expected to check these **SAME** check-boxes to play tracks on the iTunes desktop.
    Generally, when listening to music at home on iTunes, I prefer to listen to albums as published from the first track to the last track. Occasionally, I may wish to shuffle tracks within an album or within a genre.
    However, when on the go, I sometimes shuffle music entirely. In any event, I cannot possibly download my entire library onto my iPod because of memory limitations.
    In conclusion, I do not wish to tamper with my check-marks ... I know, at any time, how much memory is currently in use on my iPod and so can add and/or delete check-boxes to adjust the tracks from my iTunes main library that are played on my iPod.
    Of course, then, I am massively frustrated that I cannot listen to albums continuously without messing-up my iPod library selections.
    This was never a problem before ... why has this behavior changed?
    This could, of course be resolved if the Apple development team added a command "Continuous Play" [On] or [Off] ... say under the [Controls] menu, logically placed above the "Shuffle" menu item.
    Comments?
    Does anyone on the Apple iTunes development team monitor this discussion?

    Are all songs checked in your playlist?

  • 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.

  • My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time.  It will not shuffle or continuously play an album.  All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on.  Any suggestions?

    My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music.  Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset.  What am I missing?  It has never done this before....
