My iPhone 4 stops after playing one song on any playlist after updating to IOS 5

Hi all.
I just upated my iphone to IOS 5 and my music playlists will only play one song, or a few songs and stop even when hundreds of songs are listed on that playlists.
The top arrows allowing to enable "repeat playlist" or "repeat one song" work but the playlist just won't play or shuffle.
I also realized that while the phone is on this freeze mode the "play icon" shows as it is playing but the timer won't move so the song is stopped.
When it does play a song it shows the wrong picture of the album as well.
Anyone having the same issue?

I have the same issue. Some songs play, while others do not. The play indicator says it's playing, however the time indicator never moves. Can't tell what the difference is between the songs that play and those that don't until I get home tonight and can check iTunes. Tried a hard reboot of the iPhone (4) but that did nothing.
This all began this AM following the iOS 5 upgrade.

How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song

After updating to osx 10.8.2 and itunes 10.7, iTunes crashes consistently after playing one song. Song progress indicator actually stops working after 30 seconds or so and iTunes can no longer be closed. However, the song finishes playing, but the next one will not start.
I tried on different computers, with different iTunes libraries, both on internal and external media. It ALWAYS happens.
Any suggestions?

I downgrade to itunes 10.6.3 and the error still appears.
I have to download this utility http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-ie3-mac.php
And I deleted this file:
/private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesCDB
That fix the problem.
Now my iphone is working without issues on latest version of itunes 10.7

My iPhone 3G only plays one song

My iPhone decided to play one song over and over instead of the designated playlist like it had been. I can advance to another song if I press forward, but the playlist will not play. Also, there are no Looping-like symbols nor shuffle symbols that had always appeared. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. My iPod on my iPhone only plays the song I select and it not automatically play the next song in the playlist. Shuffle does not work either. I have to actually hit the forward button which is incredibly annoying - especially when using it for my runs! I've tried settings on the iPhone, I've changed controls on my iTunes account on my computer and synced. Nothing works. Help!!! I'm running a 1/2 marathon this Sunday and I have to get this working before then!

ITunes freezes after playing one song

Since upgrading to the new iTunes that was released today, after playing one song in iTunes in Windows, the program freezes and the only way out is to End Process on it. This only happens the first time that Windows starts up. After iTunes freezes and I End Process on it, and then run it again, it doesn't have this problem until the next time that Windows starts up.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Turns out "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was doing something that held up the computer when I used iTunes. So I followed these steps to disable the service permanently (since I don't use Windows Media Player): http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/fix-wmpnetwk-exe-in-windows-7/

IPhone-only play one song then quits. After update

My Phone seems to have a problem where it only plays one song out of a playlist and maybe 2 seconds out of the next song and it quits the program and goes to the home page. The audio books don't seem to remember to start where they quit also. Worked fine before upgrade. Haven't tried to reset phone yet. Thanks for help.

Upon resyncing with my laptop this am the bug seemes to be gone and both problems have corrected them selfs. All songs play like they should and the audio books do remember where they stopped at.

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.

Apple tv (2nd gen) reset itself after playing one song

Invited friends over and the apple tv failed me.
When connected to my home shared iTunes library, the apple tv will play the first song and at the end the apple tv will go to reset itself or get disconnected from the network.
Then I tried to play the music using the iTunes form the iMac but using AirPlay via the apple tv. The same problem, the apple tv will no play after the first song, and reset itself. However the iTunes in the iMac continued playing the next song.
I was lucky the I had a airport express. So I moved it to replace the apple tv and connect Otto the speakers. I Mac played non stop via the airport express with no issues.
Any ideas what to do?

Have you unplugged AppleTV from the mains and restarted/re-tried.
I doubt the software is bug free and sometimes unplugging power gets rid of spurious glitches.
If the problem persists, there are a couple of possibilities apart from AppleTV including issues with your iTunes library/artwork or individual songs being corrupted that iTunes itself may handle better and more gracefully than the iOS device.
Consider creating a new itunes library (hold alt when opening iTunes to create new/switch) and test with that (even under a different user account).
If it repeatedly does it send feedback to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
Do movies/TV shows play ok? If they do it's unlikely it's a network issue of some kind.
Also check that the iMac isn't going to sleep after a few mins causing AppleTV to hang as it can't find the song.

Play list on Blackberry 9300 will only play one song at a time since update to Desktop version 6

Since upgrading to version 6, my backberry 9300 won't play any more than one song at a time (unless you manually forward it to the next song), even when using a playlist.
I have tried every combination of shuffle/repeat and still no luck. Vodafone technical people cannot help either!
Please advise how I can get my blackberry curve 9300 to play the whole list OR an entire album without me having to advance every single song?

Hi
The obvious conclusion to reach is that this is a result of the upgrade to OS 6 and that to get back the facility you've lost would be achieved by going back to the old OS.
I do not have access to OS 6 so I cannot be specific, but it may be worth trying a different media app before any other action.

ITunes Library Only Play One Song at a Time After Upgrade to 7.2

Just upgraded to ITunes 7.2 this morning. After upgrade (on Windows Vista Enterprise operating system) ITunes Library no longer will play through the songs in the library. Try as I might to reset Controls, clicking on play gives me play of the single highlighted song but will not play on to the next song on the list, which it always did before. This is a BIG problem. Would appreciate any advice (knowing I've probably overlooked something simple) to solve this. Thanks!

that can happen if all the checkboxes to the left of the songs in your main library display have become unchecked.
if they are unchecked, hold down Ctrl and click one of the boxes to do a "recheck all".

How can I get my iPad to play just one song from my playlist and then stop automatically?

I am a music teacher and I use the iPod on my iPad to play songs in class. I have a long playlist of songs to choose from in each class, and I want to play just one song at a time. I want to be able to start one song from my playlist and then walk away from my iPad and have it stop automatically when that song is over. (I know how to make it repeat the same song over and over, but tha'ts not what I need. I also know how to push "pause," but I don't want to have to walk away from the children to do it.) How can I make it play one song from a playlist at a time?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that except, perhaps, creating a separate Playlist for each song.

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.

How to play one song then stop on iPhone?

iTunes playlist on my computer can play one song then stop because there is the uncheck all songs feature, but apparently iPhone doesn't have the same feature.
Need to play one song then have it stop instead of going to another song in the playlist. Creating 20+ single-song playlists is inefficient.
I know there is the Play on Cue app for $1.99 but why should I have to have another app on my phone do what iTunes on my computer already does built-in (play one song then stop)?

"Creating 20+ single-song playlists is inefficient." Please read next time.

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).
