My IPod will only play the same song in the playlist. What is happening?

My Ipod will only play one song (over and over) in a play list. It was workig fine and then all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please help.

Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
Hope this helps

IPod will only play songs from one album

Help! I downloaded an album onto my iPod, and now my iPod will only play songs from that album. When I go to select songs from another album, my iPod skips over them like it is searching for something.

Have you seen the suggestions in this article?:

IPod will only play "legit" songs after Vista upgrade

iPod 80 GB
Windows Vista Business
iTunes 7.1.1
Ever since I upgraded to Vista, my iPod will only play songs I personally ripped from CD's or bought from iTunes.
I do have songs downloaded from other sources (friend's bands sites) and the ipod starts to play them for one second and then the "time bar" goes fully blue and the song doesn't play.
It took me a full restore and reload to figure out that it was only the downloaded songs that wouldn't play.
Thanks in advance.

Quite a number of people have had similar issues because the songs are MP3/AAC using VBR (variable bit rate) and the VBR tags are not correct.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

My Ipod is playing the same songs all the time!! How do I fix this?

I have a 80gb Ipod classic. In Itunes I set the smart shuffle in Preferences to "less likely". I can't find a similar setting on my Ipod. Every time I play any Playlists on the Ipod using shuffle I always hear some of the same songs. Some playlists have thousands of songs and yet I seem to always hear the same ones. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

You can avoid repeating songs by setting up a playlist in iTunes and have iTunes shuffle that list, or you can create a playlist manually and set up the order. (The latter isn't the fun way to do so.) When you play that playlist on the iPod, turn the shuffle off and just play the list. As long as the playlist isn't lost, there won't be any repeats. This is the best way I can think of, because I have the same desire. (Remember, the list can be lost when you connect the iPod to the computer or even manually resetting it.)
I have about 7,000 songs on mine, and it still repeats and even overplays songs. It's irritating, but I just manually skip those songs.

My apple tv continues to play the same song from a playlist that is on shuffle.

My apple tv continues to play the same song from a playlist that is on shuffle. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

I do not see anything there. I have a left arrow and song title on top with a list icon. Nothing on the bottom but the direction arrows, pause button and volume.

TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist. However, the song is stored on the iPod once. What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

New Shuffle always shuffle the same songs in the same order

Just bought a shuffle for Marathon training. Loaded about 150 songs on it (about 1/2 full). I go on 1-3 hours runs. It might be my imagination but the shuffle sequence doesn't seem very random. I seem to hear the same songs in the same order each time.
It's kind of like in Itunes when you hit shuffle on a playlist it mixes the playlist up but until you turn shuffle off and back on, the order doesn't change them again.
Is all the running cooking my brain or has anyone else noticed this with the shuffle?

Make sure the play order switch on top is set to shuffle (the pincers with arrows), not play in order (oval arrows).

You probably have Repeat turned on. While playing the song, tap the cover art to reveal the additional music controls (see photo below). Tap the Repeat control on the bottom left until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

Ipod will only play single songs

i am not extremely adept with technology but i know some basics, i'm having trouble with my 30GB ipod video, it will only play single songs, if i choose an artist with more then one song in that category it automatically zooms through them all rapid fire and then returns to the main menu... i have no idea why or how this is happening, is it possible i have a virus of some type? if so, how can i get rid of it or fix this problem? i have tried resetting it several times and syncing several times, nothing has changed.... also my second problem is that the videos i have on my ipod will play but they do not play any sound...i am more concerned with the first problem tho. if anyone could offer some advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.

Do the songs play in the iTunes? However, usually if an iPod scrolls through all of the songs instead of playing them it is a software issue. I'd try restoring the iPod to factory settings and syncing the music again.

Also, with your second issue. Where are the videos from? If they were something you imported on your own check this out:

Playlist will only play a few songs then stop.

After upgrading to ITunes 7.0, my playlist will stop playing after a few songs. Ihave to Restart the playlist everytime. Inever had this problem with the previous versions of ITunes.. What can I do to have all the songs in my play list play without stopping?

I've had the same thing, definately seems like a small bug. Bizarrely with mine it only does it sometimes, but it seems that when it reaches the last song in the playlist (as in the one at the bottom) it treats that as if it is the last song to be played regardless of the shuffle feature.
Haven't managed to overcome it yet, but it's rarely a problem for me to just press play again

How do I make all my apple devices play the same song at the same time?

I went to a party once and one of their family members was in charge of music. They used iTunes on a laptop and used their wifi hub with itunes, they then had all Apple devices connected to the laptop (through wifi) and played the same song in every room. How did they do it? If so please let me know as I have a party coming up soon!
thanks

can I buy one of these
Yes, if you want to.
You can buy any of these, or other devices as long as they say they are AirPlay compatible and they will work.
and then it would work for all round the house or do I have to buy one for every room?
It will work whenever your wifi signal is.
If you want music in a room, you need something for that room. Or turn up the volume and hear it in the next room also...

Odd iTunes glitch -- always plays the same song, after the song I selected...

After one song plays on iTunes, it always next plays one particular song -- not the next song on the list, but a specific track, every time. I'd like iTunes to simply play the next track down. How can I fix this?... thanks very much --

Do you have the the Repeat feature turned one? It is the arrowed racetrack on the left side of the Now Playing Screen right below the scrubber bar. Tap it until it is white for no repeat.
Next:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

My ipod will only play from 1 heandphone. whats wrong?

my ipod touch only plays from 1 headphone and iv'e bought 3 different pair. it'll only play if i do a certain thing with the cord. idk what to do. help me !!!

Hi,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802#acoustic provides tips that will resolve most hardware issues. One of the tips it provides is checking the iPhone's headphone jack for debris. You can try connecting and disconnecting the headphones a few times to remove lint or anything else that might be down there.
If the issue persists with some headphones but not others, the headphones with the issue will need service. You can setup service for the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic online here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
