ITunes starts playing album in shuffle mode?

I haven't used iTunes in awhile, mostly been listening to music on my iPod. When I pressed play, I started to realize that the opera I was listening to didn't make much sense, and looked up, and noticed that it had started in shuffle mode, does iTunes do this now? I have shuffle off, yet it started in shuffle anyway?

Sorry, let me clarify. I'm not shuffling the songs on the iPod, which would be a random order every time. I've created a paylist within iTunes of about 30 CD's, in which I've shuffled those songs in iTunes. So that playlist is the same list of songs everytime, even though I've shuffled them. That list will stay the same until I reshuffle within iTunes.

Can't get iPhone to stop playing albums in shuffle mode

I open my albums on iPhone and start playing them but they are always in shuffle mode. The only option at the top is the shuffle mode. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thx

While a song is playing, go to the Now Playing screen. Next, tap the album cover. Now tap the criss cross arrows to enable or disable Shuffle. If the arrows are blue in color, Shuffle is enabled. You can tap the arrows again to disable it.
Another place for accessing the Shuffle option is at the top of any playlist.
There's also “Shake to Shuffle”. This setting will shuffle your music if you shake the device while a song is playing. You can access this setting by going to Settings > Music and changing Shake to Shuffle to On or Off.

IPod starts playing album on the SECOND song

hey all,
this isn't a totally consistent problem, but quite frequently, my 4th generation iPod (non-video) will start playing albums at the SECOND song, forcing me to skip back to the first song to hear the album from the beginning. has anyone else had this problem? it has NOT improved with any iPod Updates. any suggestions for a fix? it's not a huge problem, but would be nice to not have to deal with it. thanx a bunch!

Hi, have you checked that the 'track number' information is correct in iTunes?

I may have found a software bug. Ver 12.0.1.26 Was playing in non shuffle mode. Turned shuffle back on but it is not doing it. Any guesses?

I can't stop my IPod Touch 64 playing everything in "Shuffle" mode

I can't stop my IPod Touch 64 playing everything in "Shuffle" mode

- Do you have shake to shuffle turned on: Settings>Music
- Do you have Shuffle turned on? It is the crossed arrows on the right side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it white.
Next try;
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Spotify free not working at all on iphone (says I need premium to play radio or shuffle mode)

I have spotify free on my computer (mac v. 10.9.5) and it is working normally. However, when I try to use spotify free on my iphone 5 (iOS 8.4), it says "premium only" even when I try to play songs in shuffle mode, or the radio, or playlists in shuffle mode. What's the point of downloading this app if it won't play anything at all on the free version? Please advise.

Hey there! Have you tried reinstalling Spotify on your iPhone? On the home screen, tap and hold the Spotify icon until it shakes.Tap the X symbol on the icon.Restart your iPhone.Open the App Store then search for and install the Spotify app.After that, go ahead adn log in with your username (not your email address) and password; or through 'Log in with Facebook' if your account was created through Facebook. Let us know how it goes!

Bug (feature?) on playing albums in coverflow mode?

OK. Have the iPhone stopped, out of shuffle mode and out of repeat mode. (I don't know if this matters, but just for consistency.) Rotate to enter coverflow mode, and pick an album.
To the left of the album, near the bottom, will be a circle with the symbol for "play." This should mean "play the album," right? On my iPhone, pressing play changes the symbol to pause (||) (which I expect), but the album doesn't start to play. Instead, I have to tap the album to reveal its contents and then click the first song.
Is this a bug or a feature, or unique to my iPhone?
Thanks.

If I was in the middle of a song, hitting > will begin in the middle of that song. If my last use of the iPod function had finished, then hitting > does nothing.
In other words, the > to the left of the album in Coverflow mode is pretty much the same as clicking the button on the iPhone earbuds: It will pause or resume music, but it doesn't have anything to do with the album that Coverflow is displaying.
In order to be sure you'll play the album that Coverflow displays, you have to reveal the song names and then hit one.
I guess this makes sense, but it would make a little more sense to me if it played the album displayed.
Thanks.

ITunes starts playing automatically

I just installed the latest update today (2-26-14). Now, my iPhone will start playing a random song in iTunes. This has happened a dozen times. I am not using my phone, it is sitting next to me at work and it just starts playing.
Anyone else seen this? Any settings I can use to turn this off? I will delete my entire iTunes library and use Pandora if this continues. I can't have my phone start playing at work.

Hey GoSC,
Thanks for the question. That definitely sounds frustrating! To troubleshoot this issues, let’s restart/reset your device:

ITunes's playing albums' tracks backwards

Namely, the problem as in the subject of this thread. It occurred after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. How do I make it to play it in normal order?
Thanks for your advices.

Or is it a bug? When clicking on "forward" from the iTunes menu ("navigation") it goes backward and vice versa. It's strange and I could't find a solution browsing in the Help section of the menu. Am I right?
P.S. After some experimenting I noticed, however, that if I click on "play album" then the playback goes in the right order (by tracks' numbers), but if I choose to play from some song in an album, then this thing happens. It's kinda annoying, though

Playing Videos Continuously--Shuffle Mode

I bought about 40 videos thru iTunes over the past few months. I am trying to figure out how to play the videos one after another with out having to manually play the next video--similar to building a play list of music files and having songs play one after another. When I try to play videos in a play list using the shuffle feature, i get an error message that reads "apple tv cannot play the file selected." When I called apple support to figure out why this was happening they told me that apple tv cannot play videos in succession they way I want to. Is this true? Is there a way around this? It seems like a fairly simple feature to implement. Having to select the next video everytime is silly.

Yes I'm afraid this is true
Is there a way around this?
Sorry, none whatsoever

There are many that agree with you and have it at the top of their lists for feature requests, I'm not sure whether it's an oversight in the current version of tv software or whether it's built in protection against the possibility of having the tv play video 24/7.

Can songs be made to play together in shuffle mode?

Some songs are intended to play together like "Golden Slumbers" and "Carry That Weight" or "Moving in Stereo" and "All Mixed Up" and it drives me bananas when you get the first but not the second!
Is there any way to make it so songs play back to back in shuffle like they do when you listen to the album in order?

See the answer here.

Skipping entire album when using "album shuffle mode"

Hello everybody !
I like the feature that I call "album shuffle mode", the one that plays randomly all albums. I was wondering if it is possible to skip an entire album to play the next one.
To be precise I don't want the album to be removed from music played in random mode, I just want to be able to skip it if it is not the thing I wanted to listen to.
Sometimes I'm getting Techno just after listening to Vivaldi
I would be happy to say "No no iPod ... you didn't choose the good album, try another one"
Thanks

Short of marking the albums you don't want to play in the shuffle mode in iTunes (which I believe you are saying you don't want to happen) then there really isn't a way to skip a whole album. I'm a little confused on what you are calling ranodom mode and what you are calling album shuffle mode. When you say random mode, are you referring to when a specific playlist is played in shuffle mode or are you referring to when every song on your ipod is being shuffled? My original answer above was assuming you meant when all songs on the ipod is being played.

Cant play in shuffle mode

I have my shuffle for just about a year, all of a sudden I cant get it to play in the shuffle mode . The songs only play in order and if i turn it off it starts from the begginning.. ANY ONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, PHONE SUPPORT WONT HELP BECAUSE OVER A YEAR...GEEZE JUST BY DAYS TOO...

There's probably no help for your switch problem. It could be somre foreign object, of course, and you could try blasts of compressed air or suction, but don't expect much from that. The switch might simply have worn out.
As for the other problem, stop turning it off. Just Pause it when you're done; it goes into a powersaver mode pretty quickly after that and uses very little (essentially none, for all practical purposes) battery power while in that. You'll have to press Play once to wake it up, then again to make it play again, but it will pick up where you left off — all else being equal.

When Apple TV Starts it starts playing Itunes too

I have a brand new Mac Mini running LIon. I have a Apple TV 2 on a LG 32 inch LED TV . When I start Apple Tv and go to the menu and click on a menu my Itunes starts playing a song.
So when I am watching a movie or a podcast on my Apple TV .. Itunes plays at the same time with a different selection
got any ideas?

I have the same issue of getting
PING 192.168.1.12 (192.168.1.12): 56 data bytes

ping: sendto: Host is down
when pinging the appletv but I have a windows machine on the network and it always sees the appletv so I know it isn't a network problem but something specific to the MBP. I am running 10.5.1 and have set the firewall to allow all incoming connections and it doesn't make a difference. The strange thing is that I can share my iTunes from the MBP and see it on the windows machine and vice versa. This is driving me crazy!!! Any ideas on what the problem could be on the MBP?

ITunes started by itself.. Started playing "Thriller" video ***

Is it possible for someone to have gained wireless access to my macbook? My macbook was sitting on the table with only me in the house.. next thing I know the Thriller video in my itunes starts playing. I'm home alone and was no where near the computer. I didn't even have itunes open. I know this sounds like a joke but I'm really serious. I don't believe in ghost or anything like that but I'm kind of worried about security now. Any ideas??

I'm having the same problem. It started a couple of hours ago. I turned off the infrared receiver thinking it could be a neighbor with a new apple tv or something, but a few minutes later itunes boots up and starts playing some random music again. I checked ical just in case, but I know i've never set up an event using itunes music as an alarm.
In fact, as I type this, after i've turned off all Sharing (including printer, screen sharing, file sharing, all of them), turned off bluetooth, itunes just booted up again and played some random music. All I have left to turn off is wifi which i will do once I hit send to this post. It's very annoying and i also worry about security issues.
