ITunes plays 1 song at a time?

I know this is a dumb question but how can I get iTunes to play songs continuously and not just 1 at a time? I have to click on each song to play it rather than the songs playing continuously by themselves? help!

Thank you so much for asking these questions. Your timing was perfect; I was looking all over the place for an answer the same problem (playing one song at a time), plus I was wondering what the checkmarks were for!

  • Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

    ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
    reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
    help!

    I have also had the same problem...
    The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
    When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
    This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
    I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
    I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

  • My itunes plays songs, but i cannot find it in programmes please help!!??

    My itunes plays songs, but when opened it says that it cannot connect with ipods or phones and needs to be repaired, but it will not repair and so needs to be reinstalled, but i cannot find itunes in my programmes, so how can i uninstall itunes, please help!!!????

    Use the Spotlight Search, maybe you just can't find it.
    Try redownloading it:

  • IPod skips final minutes of a song; but iTunes plays song OK.

    Sorry if this has been discussed before; I tried to find a similar topic but couldn't find anything. It if has been discussed before, please direct me to the thread.
    One particular song on my iPod never plays the final minutes - play always stops at exactly same point (more than a minute to the end), playcount is incremented, and next song is played. It always happens to this particular same song, that is never played to the end.
    I have already checked if any stop time is checked for the song but nothing is marked.
    iTunes plays the song correctly up to the last second.
    I appreciate your help.

    Hi there, thought I'd share my ipod nightmare that may or may shed some light on problems of skipping/jumping.
    I corrupted my database on the ipod and the only program I found that would display/backup the songs is ipod access (http://www.findleydesigns.com/ipodaccess/index.html) - as I only keep music on my ipod to save space on my computer - and even that kept on crashing, so I backed up one album at a time. 5 hours later...
    So I did a restore, this time mac formatted not PC to the 1.3 firmware. Chucked the songs back on and most of the songs would skip/jump....oh yay.
    Trawled through lots of threads - eg firmware, defrag issues etc... and thought the best was to revert back to 1.2.1 firmware and zero the data - as there is no conclusion what is the problem.
    So this is what I did:
    1. Erased ipod with Disk Utility using the zero out data option (in security options) - this takes about 1.5 hrs.
    2. Deleted the 1.3 firmware files (ipsw and signature file located in (user)>library>itunes>ipod software updates.
    3. downloaded the 1.2.1 ipsw and sig files and put them in the above directory.
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bun dles/061-2788.20061206.nS1yA/iPod_13.1.2.1.ipsw
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bun dles/061-2788.20061206.nS1yA/iPod_13.1.2.1.ipsw.signature
    4. disconnected from the internet (so it doesn't update to the 1.3 firmware) and restored the ipod. (might have to download the 1.2.1 firmware/updater - can't quite remember sorry - maybe included in the above files)
    Ipod is all sweet now. Think I will buy a esata drive for backup now and also read more before I push that yearning update button.
    Good Luck.

  • Itunes playing songs i didnt

    i was looking at my recently played smart playlist and it said that i had played songs that i most certainly didnt. This was before i plugged my ipod in to get it updated. The first time this happened, it had played an album straight through, except the time displayed was three hours in the future. I checked my computer's time settings and everything, but there was no way i could have played this album at 10:40 when it was only 7:00 (it still had the same date as that day). This wouldnt really bother me except it's meesing up my play counts, and I'm really anal about my play counts. Also, it's just so weird and freaky in a twilight zone way how itunes says i played songs that i didnt. i browsed the boards, but no one else seems to have this problem. Anyone who knows how to fix it please help.
    and i definitely have the latest version of itunes.

    Yeah, I had some song a while back that said it played in the year 2038.
    The ITL file was obviously messed up. I deleted that song and re-added it to the iTunes library.

  • Itunes plays songs, but ipod doesn't

    I am having a huge problem with my ipod! This is since I uploaded my songs to my computer and back to my ipod using eph pod. All of my songs seem to be on the ipod in formats that are okay, ie mp3 or m4p, but most of them are skipped by the ipod when I try to play them. All except for the mp3 files. I can't sync or anything like that, because i don't keep my music library on my computer, I backed it up to CDs. But when I plug my ipod into my computer, itunes plays ALL of the songs just fine. What should I do!!!!!
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    I'm just going to give you a quick how to... so here it goes.
    1. Back up all your songs into a folder on your computer.
    2. Install iTunes 7 www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and all relevant updates.
    3. Once that is done, use the backup/format install tool inside iTunes 7, comes up when you connect the iPod.
    4. Then add items to your library again, and transfer them to the iPod.
    Basically reformatting the iPod shoudl work. Make sure the the songs definatly play in iTunes and dont skip. You could find that the iPod has disk errors.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • ITunes plays songs in the wrong order

    For the past few weeks iTunes has insisted on jumping all over the place when playing songs. It plays randomly, but only from the same artist. If I'm playing an album, it doesn't go automatically from track 1 to 2, but seems to select the next track completely randomly.
    I've tried sorting the songs by artist, track number, album etc. but the problem persists. Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but that didn't help either.
    Thanks in advance for advice and help!

    I use iTunes and built in look up as well and it sort my library in album order. However this is assuming you sort the library by artist (click on the artist heading to sort by artist). And then within artist is will sort by album name alphabetically and within each album by album order.
    Just checked and if I sort my library by album, albums get listed in alphabetical order but again, within the album it is in album order.
    Grace Notes (CDDB) should fill in the track number and total number of tracks for you automatically.
    So back to your last question, I am not sure what you mean exactly. Are we talking about sorting the library as a whole or do you mean specifically within Playlists?

  • Itunes plays song for 10 seconds then skips to next song and so on....

    Hey Everyone
    I recently acquired a macbook (love it). However I have one issue, I imported all my music off my windows formatted ipod, and then formatted my Ipod for Mac. Everything plays fine, however I have one major issue. Some (not all) of the songs in itunes play for about 10 seconds and then jump to the next song. if I skip ahead past this 10 second barrier, the song plays fine . This happens on my itunes as well as my ipod.
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

    now when i play back in itunes (v10.6.1)
    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25?

  • ITunes plays songs but the sound goes in and out on some...

    Hi there,
    I recently dumped my whole computer and reloaded all the programs. Upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I reinstalled iTunes and was surprised to see my music still there. Kind of weird but saved me the time to reinstall all my music. My iPod still connects and is recognized. Music plays fine on my iPod but when listening to music on iTunes while I work on my computer, many of my songs sound like parts of them are really low, or rather distant sounding, then a part sounds like it should, then it will fluctuate between the two. All this in one song.
    I've checked my drivers, have the latest iTunes version. No iTunes plug-ins in the App folder. I just don't get it. I'm about to reinstall all my music but that is last resort. I've sat here for a considerable amount of time searching the discussion forums for a solution but doesn't seem to be a topic with this particular problem.
    Any thoughts? Thanks for you help.

    Does this happen with other computers or devices?

  • TS1424 error in downloading from itunes incomplete song download (4 times)

    several times now, when purchaing an album, some of the songs are either not downloaded and won't play, or defective. I can't contact apple. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes playing songs as videos

    Not sure if this is a problem with iTunes 10 or not.
    Basically I went to listen to a song that was imported from a CD as opposed to downloaded and it started trying to play it as video?!
    Now, the other day these songs were playing fine as music files, but now I've looked at it the songs appear to be .mp4 video files...
    Slightly confused... Any ideas?

    I'm having the exact same problem with all of my MP4 audio files. I can confirm that it's a problem with iTunes 10, since the problem did not exist in previous versions. iTunes 10 thinks all of my MP4 audio files are video files. It will play them, but it goes to a black video screen every time, as if it's trying to play a video stream that isn't there. I have not been able to find a way to stop this behavior in the preferences.
    Please fix this problem as soon as possible, Apple.

  • My itunes plays songs but I can't hear them

    I am having trouble with itunes. The song is playing but I cannot hear it. My speakers are working and my volumes are all high. does anyone know what's going on? My ipod works perfectly, though.

    First thing to check is the QuickTime settings. iTunes uses QT to play everything.

  • ITunes plays songs but iPod mini skips whole songs

    I have an iPod mini with the latest version (1.4) as well as the latest version of iTunes for Windows. I have imported songs into iTunes and they play fine, they also seem to upload to my iPod just fine. But when I go to play these certain songs on my iPod it skips right over them. It shows the song and acts like its about to play but just as it should start playing it skips to the next song. Anyone heard of this?

    Hi Josh and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, make sure you've played at least some of the purchased song in iTunes to authorize it.
    If you've played them in iTunes and the still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then to re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store in iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, then the computer will be authorized again. Sync you iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes. If you don't have the latest, you can get it from here.

  • Itunes plays songs but without any sound

    Hey folks, I am having a problem with sound. I am running a Windows 64-bit Vista on a HP desktop. I contacted Apple and they suggested uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and it didn't work. All the songs and videos will play in my Itunes but there is no sound. I have downloaded the newest version of Itunes. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes plays songs at intermittant speed

    When I play a song, it slows down every quarter to half second in a very regular manner. It seems like my Mac is overworked and can't keep up, but I haven't had other performance issues - that I noticed.
    The only thing I can think of is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, and if that doesn't work to completely reinstall the OS on my Mac. Unless someone out there has a better idea.

    Hey--this happened to me as well.
    Seems to be a problem with either the bitrate or sample rate of your music file. I would use a program such as Audacity to re-encode it as an .aac file using a fairly common bitrate--128, 96, or 64 bps--and a fairly common sample rate, too--22, 44, or 48KHz. iTunes seems to wheeze when it gets presented with a wacky bps/KHz combination, like 11KHz@128bps.
    Hope that helps!

  • Why won't iTunes play songs all the way through?

    I don't understand, and I am very frustrated... I JUST PAID for a bunch of music on iTunes & there are a few songs that play all the way through to completetion. For instance, I bought Rihanna's album LOUD & the song Fading only plays to :54 seconds; after which it claims to have played all the way through and skips to the next song? What the ****? I dont understand what the problem is... Help?

    Delete the songs from your itunes library (just your library). Redownload them from the purchased section in the itunes store. I had the same problem and redownloading it worked for me.
