My ipod wont advance to the next song on its own

When a song plays, it won't advance to the next song unless I manually click on the next song. I want to be able to have the whole album play without haveing to click on next songs. Thanks for your help

Have you double checked to make sure the repeat setting has not been enabled?  If it's a 5G Nano, you do from with the Settings menu. If it's a 6G Nano, you can do it from the Now Playing screen.

  • Why  doesn't my ipod advance to the next song when i'm listening to it.

    why doesn't my ipod nano, 6th generation advance to the next song while playing.  i have to manually advance it to hear the next song. .This is a nex nano, 6th gen that apple just sent me  because of possible battery issues in the nano, 1st gen.

    Hi lauraleeu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • My IPod will not automatically advance to the next song.

    IPod will not automatically advance to the next song. I have updated and restored. The Shuffle has the two arrows crossing which I believe means it should be advancing. Any suggestions?

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat (the right hand side features the Shuffle feature). You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't, tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?

  • My ipod nano 7th gen. will not advance to the next song, it will keep playing the current song until manuaaly changed. All updates are current.

    I had this issue with my 6th generation nano.  It was driving me nuts, until I realized that somehow locked the repeat button on. Selecting one song rather than a selection will cause whatever song you have selected to play over and over and over and over..

  • The nano advances to the next song in the middle of a current song.

    My nano (refurbished) will (in the middle of a song) suddenly advance to the next song.  What can be done to get the nano to play a song completely before advancing to the next song?

    Does it do this for every song, or just some? I had this problem with DRM-protected iTunes purchases (file name ends in .m4p). If this is your problem, I might be able to help.

  • My songs in my Music folder are stuck on repeat, how do I get them to advance to the next song?

    How do I get the songs in my music file to advance to the next song?  All they do now is repeat the same song unless I advance it myself.

  • When I play my music from my playlist it will not advance to the next song, it just repeats the song over.  I have to advance to the next song manually.

    When I am playing my music it will not advance to the next song, it just keeps repeating the song.  The only way to go to the next song is to do it manually.  It just started this after the last update.  How do I fix it, hard to listen to at the gym.

    Check the song and see if repeat is activated. Down in the bottom left corner is repeat when the music is running. It would have a colored box around it if it is active. It would either read Repeat Song, or Repeat Playlist.

  • When I am editing information is there a keyboard shortcut to advance to the next song without using the mouse to click "next"?

  • TS3474 My Ipod will not play the next song, it continously plays the same song unless I manually change it

    My iPod will not play the next song, it continously plays the same song unless I manually change it.

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

  • Next Song Button - Stops the song and does not advance to the next song

    I just loaded 8.0.2.20. Now I cannot use the ">>" next song button. I've tried many playlists and rebooted the system - no luck.
    If song 1 in my playlist is playing and I click on the next song button, song 1 stops, song 1 remains highlighted in the main display area (list view).

    I just figured this out. All of my songs were "unchecked" after I was working on setting up iTunes for multiple ipods. Now that they are all check, the "forward" or "Next" button works fine.

  • ITunes wont continue to the next song

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 7 I have had the following problem. Occasionally iTunes will get to the end of a song and just stop playing. It will not move on to the next song. This will often happen after just a few songs have played in a very large playlist. How can I fix this?

    Hi!
    Did you make sure that the songs which you want to play in a playlist or in the library one after another are selected through the checkbox on the left? Otherwise the songs won't play automatically.
    Hope this helps...
    Bye

  • Ipod touch is skipping and changing songs on its own

    My ipod  touch skips like a scratched cd and changes songs on its own when i am outside with it.  I usually take it to the pool and listen while i'm laying out but recently it started doing this.  I don't let sunlight hit it directly i have it covered by my leg or a towel.  When i come home it starts working again.  Is this a common problem and i cannot take it outside when it is hot, or do i have a defective one?

    - Do you have the headphones with a remote? Sometime there is problems with sporatic signals from the remote especially with moisture/high humidity.
    - Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The songs on my playlist just keep repeating.  They will not advance to the next song unless I hit next.  Is there a repeat setting I can turn off?  Never had this problem before today.

    How do I get my music to stop repeating?  The same song just keeps playing over and over unless I manually advance it.  This happens whether I am on a playlist or not.  All was fine when I used it yesterday..

    Check the repeat icon to see if it is turned off.

  • My iPod touch will not shuffle or move on to the next song on an album/ playlist. Is there anything I can do. It has had very little use even though I've had it for 2years.

    Can anyone help with an iPod touch that will not shuffle or move on to the next song on an album/playlist?
