My Music app in Suffle Mode plays only 2 songs of any playlist and stops

This problem starts after updating to iOS 5. In Continuos Mode all the songs of my differents playlist plays correctly.
Only in Suffle Mode it plays 2 or 3 songs and freezes and the forward and backward buttons doesn´t works.
I have to restart de app to start listening the songs, but only in continuos mode.

Do you have disk use enabled? If so, maybe too much space is allocated to disk use. Check this in iTunes when the iPod is connected by clicking on the settings tab. If you are not using the iPod as a storage device you can turn this option off.

How can I get itunes on my i pad to play single songs in a playlist without stopping it manually?

How can I get itunes on my i pad to play single songs in a playlist without stopping it manually?

To turn on the check marks on, say, 150 consecutive songs in a list, do the following:
Click on the first song in the list.
Scroll to the last (150th) song in the list.
Hold the shift key down while clicking the last song in the list.
All 150 songs will then be highlighted. Click the check box in one of the 150 songs and all songs will exhibit the same behavior.

ITunes Match, Music App Crash (even while playing a song)

Ok,
I read a lot of posts about this. There doesn't seem to be one concerte answer. I also notice that I get prompted often for my iTunes Password. Not sure if that is to connect to iTunes Match or Itunes Apps updates.
Either way after Re-Opening the Music App on my Iphone 4 3-4 times and select a playlist (I created on PC) and start playing a song, my phone goes to the lockscreen as usual and blackens. So my songs are playing, then I decided to unlock my phone. Since the Music app was the last app open it still shows the last Song that was being played before it locked the screen. Then after 10-20 seconds of hagning there, the APP closes! The current song stops playing, and I have to repoen the Music App 3-4 times again.
REALLY ANNOYING!
Getting my playlists to sync correctly is a hassle too. I hate wanting to add a song to the playlist on the iDevice itself without updating iTunes Match with the changes I made. Does it push that change from my iPhone to my iPod only once I run Update iTunes Match?
I'm trying to make the most of this but it does have plenty of issues!

yes i have the same problem and it has happened 4 times now .. It is ridiculous .. Putting right off Apple Devices .. seem to be getting like Microsoft ... Too Buggy.. How can your music just vanish ?

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.

ITunes is playing one song on some albums and stops

I am using iTunes 8, but this problem is persisting since last Christmas. I click on an album to play, in particular a Christmas album, and it plays one song and then it stops. All of the settings are such that it should play the entire album the whole way through.
Also, I have a Christmas playlist. When I shuffle it, it suddenly gets stuck on one album and shuffles that indefinitely, ignoring the other albums and music.
Can someone please help? This doesn't seem to affect other non-Christmas music.

Make sure that all tracks have a checkmark in front of them. Also...when using Shuffle, make sure the tracks are not set to Skip When Shuffling (under Get Info).

I had the same problem for about 2 weeks and just fixed it tonight! YEAH!! I followed the 5R's and the first 4 did nothing. So, I wasn't very hopeful for the 5th, but I made a back up of my library just in case, downloaded the latest version of iTunes and RESTORED my iPod back to the factory settings and it works beautifully now. No skipping on any songs at all. And, mine didn't matter if they my songs or iTunes songs, it did it to any song that it didn't like. Good luck!

When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.

When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more. You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond. Any ideas?

When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more. You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play. Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works. Any ideas? It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist. Always two different songs within the playlist. You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens. Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command.
I reset, then restored ATV. Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few. The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes. If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist. I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

How do I turn off the default radio in my music app. I cannot play my playlist until it first defaults to radio and then I have to start all over. this is very tedious!!!

This got me curious when I first saw it... It does indeed seem very Un-Apple-like (at least historically) to prevent a user from customizing their own device - Mac or iDevice - but today I'm unsure. I cannot grasp how a UX designer could leave a simple "OFF" switch out of the control panel. Another thing that Music Data Streaming does is eat up your Data Plan.
This May not be the exact issue as you describe, but seems to solve an issue of a Radio Playlist in iTunes resuming where it left off from the last use...

Re: How do you turn off i tunes radio on the ipad air once it starts playing songs? in response to Betty91545
Play last song on list, songs will then stop. Works for me on iPad. Haven't tried yet on iPhone.
It is likely that THIS may be part of the real reason to push the iTunes Radio feature - revenue stream (nobody remembers "Payola?"):
Apple is more beholden to the shareholders than in the old days

For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist. However, if I search the album name, all the songs show. How do I get the songs to show under songs?

Hi Spam_Valley,
I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

I have over 50 gigs of music on iTunes; can I store only some on my laptop and the rest on a backup HDD?

Just copy the music from one computer to another over your network or via a USB flash drive.
If you are in the US, have the latest version of iTunes (10.3) and the media was purchased via the iTunes store, you can redownload all the content via iTunes.

Updated to iOS 7.1.1. Now when I open my music playlist and choose a song to play, my songs begin scrolling by and deleting.

Is anyone else having problems after updated to iOS 7.1.1. After my update, when I open my music playlist on my iPhone 4S and choose a song to play, my songs begin scrolling by and deleting. I've re-synched a couple of times and am still running into the same thing.

My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Cheers,
