ITunes stuck on repeat song

I clicked on Controls > Repeat > One last night to repeat a song. Once I was finished I clicked on Controls > Repeat > Off, which is now ticked in the menu. However, iTunes is still repeating any song that is currently playing. I tried to click on >One and also >All and then click on >Off again in the repeat menu, but nothing changes. The only way I can play a different song is if I individually click on each song I want to hear.
Couldn't find anything in the discussions about this issue. Can anyone help?

I am having the same problem intermitently.

IPod within iPhone is stuck in repeat song mode

The iPod in in iPhone 3G seems to be stuck in repeat song mode. Whether I use shuffle or linear doesn't matter. I've tried rebooting to no avail. I guess I'm going to have to reset the software when I get home if I can't fix this at work.

If you are looking at the iphone screen when a song is playing, and you touch the screen once, in the upper left corner is an icon that looks like a circle with two arrows in it. Touch that icon to turn repeat off. That should fix your problem.

Why is my Iphone stuck on repeat songs?

Hi there i am a regualr user of my Ipod on my Iphone and i have not changed any settings but today every time i play an album or a playlist it just keeps repeating the same track? I have tried to see if i told it to repeat but i cant find it anywhere. Can anyone help me find out how to get it off repeating everything.
Thanks
Andy

1. Play the song.
2. Tap the now playing screen.
3. On the Now Playing screen, you will now see play and volume controls at the bottom of the screen. At the top is track information. Under the album title is a scrubbing bar that indicates the time remaining in the song.
4. A small icon that looks like two circular arrows is on the left side below the scrubbing bar. Tap this icon once to repeat the album. The icon will turn blue when repeat is activated.
5. Tap the icon again to repeat the current song. The icon will change to show the number 1 inside a blue circle.
6. Touch the icon a third time to cancel any repeat. The icon will turn white when it's deactivated.

Stuck on Repeat

Hiya
My touch is stuck on repeat song, even when i select shuffle or just standard play.
Please help - its driving me mad!!
Thanks in advance
Charlie

My wife's Touch has started doing the same about 1 week ago for no obvious reason. There doesn't appea to be any info on this. I will try a reset, then remove the last album added. Bizarre - must be a firmware/software issue.

How do I stop my iPod from being on repeat song?

I don't know how or why my ipod got stuck on repeat song as I don't even know how to repeat a song in the first place aside from clicking back to make it replay. I have done the first steps in stopping problems to no avail. How did it get there and how do I make it stop?
Thank you!

In your iPod Menu list,
1. scroll down to SETTINGS, press Select
2. Scroll down the setting list to the 3rd item REPEAT
3. Press Select till you get OFF.
Have a great day.

IPhone 4 iOS 7 songs stuck in repeat - can't find settings to change?

Ever since I made the software upgrade to iOS 7, the music format is different. All songs are stuck in repeat. Is there a tutorial around to help me navigate the music in this format? I really want to fix this. Most of my "songs" are audiobooks. It gets tiresome reading the same passage over and over! Thank you!

Settings>iTunes/app Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now, sign back in with your new ID.

I have a new 160GB iPod Classic. I often listen to it for many hours at a time. Even with Itunes and the Classic set on shuffle it repeats songs often and only plays a small fraction of my songs. Help! of my

When listening for hours to my new Clasic 160 with several thousand songs and both itunes and the Classic set to shuffle all songs it only plays a small fraction of my library and plays many songs several times over that period. It also seems to pick a small different group of songs to repeat without touching many of most of my songs each time I start listening. Over 98% of the music is legally owned in my CD collection. A few are down loads which play! There should be no issues with ownership. Please help. As much as I like all my tunes I want to actually hear them all. There are many many albums that have never been played.

Okay, well we've eliminated a couple of things.
One thing I have noticed about the iPod Classic: I suspect that "shuffle" is actually a Playlist, not a real shuffle. The Classic is not as powerful as iTunes or a desktop/computer, so it cannot truely "shuffle songs". I suspect what happens is that every Sync of the Classic with its iTunes Library causes a revised "shuffle playlist" to be put on the iPod and then, when you choose Shuffle play, it actually uses that special hidden "shuffle playlist".
So one trick is to Sync your iPod with iTunes frequently. This would change the "shuffle playlist". Another trick would be to create your own Playlists, either by adding what you want to a Regular Playlist or by creating a Smart Playlist which adds and removes songs by itself.
Smart Playlists: for example, you can create a Smart Playlist (in iTunes) which contains a random selection of all songs, or a random selection of a particular group of songs, provided the song has not been played for a period of time, say six months, or 300 days. Every Sync of the iPod with iTunes would remove any song from that Smart Playlist if it has been played. That same song cannot go back into the Playlist for a period of six months, or whatever you choose.
This way, you can reduce the likelyhood of hearing the same songs too often. This brings me to another point. If you have the same song, on different albums, then it's possible that you are hearing that same song but from both albums.
Try this: in your iTunes Library,
look for and click on the big + button and choose New Smart Playlist..., if you do not have the Sidebar displayed, switch to the Playlists view where you will find it in the bottom left corner,
Set it up to look like this:
It creates a list of songs that have not been played for fifteen weeks. It excludes videos and in my iTunes Library, it has 527 songs in it. If you would like a smaller list than that, click on the Limit to and fill in the number of songs you want.
Having set it up, play some songs from it (in shuffle mode if you wish) and watch how it changes . The song must play through to the end of the track before it is classed as "played". If you like it, let it go onto your iPod. You could set up a few Playlists, each with their own rules. Even if a song appears in two different Smart Playlists, if you have the "last played is not in the last" rule in both lists, then playing the song will eliminate it from both lists. None of this removes songs from the iPod (unless you use Sync selected Playlists...).

Back up your iTunes before doing any sorting. If you remove something you didn't intend to then a backup is the best way to get it back.

Help. My ipod nano is stuck on repeat. It repeats the same song over and over and wont play songs on the same album consecutively. How do I fix this

Hey cemccarty,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The option to turn off repeat will depend on your iPod nano model. Here is the information for the latest model, the iPod nano (7th generation):

Good luck

A recent download the CD gets stuck and repeats. I believe that this is a fault in the CD not picked up by Itunes. Downloading again may not sort this out. Who do I contact to tell this to.

Hi
I have the same problem.
After upgrading My phone repeats the same song forever.
It doesn't matter if i play a playlist with 100 songs or try to play an album.
What the f- ?

When using genius playlists my music player is stuck on repeat all. It gets to the second song and then repeats it 'ad infinitum'

If I select a genius mix, the player will play the first song and then progress to a second. It then 'sticks' on the second song and repeats it over and over. I have tried to switch off the repeat function but it will not respond and stays on 'repeat all'. I have tried different genius lists and updated the software to 8.12
Everything works fine with my own playlists

I have a similar problem.
"Repeat Playlist" is stuck. The button action shows all three options (Repeat Off|Repeat Song|Repeat Playlist) and Cancel, but tapping any doesn't change the status from "Repeat Playlist". Very annoying.
Additionally, "Shuffle" is completely unresponsive. This is on an iPhone 6 Plus running the latest iOS 8.13 (12B466).
Happy to hear this is happening on 8.12 as well. Okay, not "happy" but you know what I mean...

Itunes + iPod repeating songs

Recently iTunes has been repeating some of the songs in my library and the problem has now caused my iPod to do the same. A description of the problem goes something like this... I'll click on a song in my library and it will start to play. The song will play for about 5-6 seconds and then it will go back to the beginning of the song before it plays the song in its entirety. As I stated before, the problem started in iTunes, but has now spread to my iPod also. I've downloaded the latest iTunes updates and I've even reinstalled iTunes to try to fix the problem.
Can anyone help me sort this problem out?
Dell Windows XP ipod w/video

You can sort by genre--just click on the genre column. Then you can grab all the songs of the genre you want to shuffle and put them in a playlist. Finally, you can shuffle this playlist.
