Need some basic help -- my iTunes no longer plays all songs in my playlist

I've created a holiday playlist, and for some reason iTunes will only play one song and then the music stops. I must manually press play to get the next song to play. The music also stops when I try to fast forward to the next song or back up and play the previous song. In either case, I can get the music going again by pressing play, but again iTunes will only play that one song.
I've got checks next to every song in the list. I've been toggling repeat and shuffle on and off with no luck.
FYI...I'm having no trouble with my other playlists. This is especially frustrating since my parents aren't interested in listening to my other music -- only the holiday tunes.
Would appreciate anyone's suggestions for how to resolve.

Solved it. Hold down option (alt) while launching iTunes, and it asks to locate the iTunes library. Point it at the file called "iTunes library". All is back where it belongs. Apparently pointing to it in the Advanced tab wasn't enough.

  • Help!  itunes will only play one song at a time

    My itunes is acting screwy. I open a playlist and play the first song, and itunes only plays that song. it won't keep going forward. it doesn't freeze up; i just have to manually play the next song. this just started yesterday with no adjustments, new downloads...no nothing. does anyone know what is going on? i have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but to no avail. same problem. is this a setting somewhere that i don't know about?
    cat

    Are the boxes beside each song checked? iTunes will only play the songs that are checked. To check all the songs press control + click in any box. To check only some songs, you can highlight them and then right click and choose check selection.

  • Complete Novice Needs Some Basic Help

    Hi!
    I'm sorry to clutter up the discussion with such basic questions, but what I want to do is get something from a cassette tape to my iPod. I'm told I can do this through GarageBand, and I have an audio cable that the guy in the Apple store said I would need. I'm not even sure where to plug this cable in. So any help in where I plug this in, or what I do next would be tremendously appreciated. If someone could even tell me where to look for help that would be great (when I look in GarageBand help its saying something about MIDIs and I don't even know what that is). Eternal gratitude for any help....

    Oh man, this is frustrating and I might give up soon!
    So in System Preferences, Sound I have 2 things,
    Internal Microphone (port is Built-in) and Line In
    (port is Audio line-in port). I can't seem to
    select one or the other, they're just there.
    Yeah, there is no "apply" or "OK" or anything like that. Just click on the Line-In so that it is highlighted and close the system preferences. That takes care of that. My PB G4 automatically detects when I plug in my line-in now that it is set up.
    Then in GB preferences, I only have the option of
    Built-in Audio, there is no other option.
    Built-In audio is correct in GB prefs.
    I also couldn't find where you were saying to
    double-click...what's the track header? I've clicked
    everything and can't find a monitor drop down menu
    option.
    The track header is the left-hand side of the track where there is a small speaker or instrument. For what you are doing, you need to create a new basic track. (Under "Track" in the menu bar, click "New Basic Track") You should have a new blue track that is labeled "No Effects." Double click on the speaker image and a dialog box will appear. Right in the middle of this box there are options for Input, Volume, and Monitor. You can turn on and off monitor abilities here.
    On the plus side, the connector I have seems to
    work...its male/male 1/8".
    Perfect.
    Thanks again and if you want to bail out, I
    completely understand!
    Hang in there. We were once all newbies to this digital recording stuff too.

  • I'm a newbie and need some basic help...

    I'm a newb trying to teach myself Director. I'm trying to
    make a menu and I'm having some problems....
    I have 3 main buttons. When you click one of the main
    buttons, 3 sub buttons pop up next to the button pressed. When one
    of those sub buttons is pressed, a box pops up to the right of the
    sub buttons and has a list inside containing links to movies. When
    one of the links is pressed i want the movie to take the place of
    the links in the box. When the movie is done playing it will
    disappear and show the links again.
    I uploaded what I have done here...
    http://www.lohrmandesign.com/uploads/Template.dir
    If you look at it, could you tell me what I've done
    correctly, and how I should go about implementing the rest of the
    menu? I imagine you have to use director movies within the main
    director movie, but I haven't figured out how to implement that. Or
    possibly use the .visible command? Thanks for any help...Online
    resources and examples are scarce for Director it seems.
    And I'm not sure if i have to upload all the pics for you to
    view my movie correctly, If I do, just let me know...

    "movie," because Director's terminology makes it kind of
    confusing. Are
    you speaking of a Director movie, or digital video?
    If you want to jump to a different Director movie, simply do
    something
    like this:
    on mouseUp me
    go to frame "StartMovie" of movie "Option1"
    end
    To get back to your menu, just use an exitFrame command at
    the end of
    the Director movie that takes you back there.
    If you're referring to starting a digital video, just put
    your video
    somewhere in the same Director file your menu is in, label it
    with a
    marker, and simply jump to that marker. Like this:
    on mouseUp me
    go to frame "Video1"
    end
    To get back to your menu at the end of the video do something
    like this:
    on exitFrame me
    if sprite(5).movieRate = 1 then
    go to the frame
    else
    go to frame "Menu"
    end if
    end
    Hope that helps.
    Sorry, I should have clarified...When you click on a sub
    category button, a Quicktime video will play, not a Director
    "movie"...Thanks for the help! using the method you described, that
    would make the menu disappear when the video is played, and reload
    the menu when the movie is done, right? I want the menu to stay
    visible while the movie is playing...

            System.out.println("Starting...");
        public void stop() {
            System.out.println("Stopping...");
    }Other notes:
    - You try to set the PLAF to Windows. which will not work on Linux and Mac (and if it did, the users would be screaming at you).
    - setLayout(null)/setBounds(int,int,int,int) is rubbish GUI development, it is fragile and will cause problems (especially if changing PLAFs)
    - Why did you not code this as a hybrid application/app?
    - The call to the JFileChooser will require a trusted applet, and it is pointing to the wrong place in seeking out the 'Program Files' directory, better to put configuration data/history data in a sub-dir or user.home.
    - This app. is much better suited to being deployed using Java Web Start. Forget the applet and use the frame, persistence can be obtained through the PersistenceService and that will side step both the application needing 'trust' and trying to find a suitable path for storing results of past games. JWS can launch the app. directly off the net, and provides auto-update and many other slick features.

  • Need some basic help with Acrobat and LiveCycle

    This is my first time using Acrobat and LiveCycle to design a form. Basically all I need is a title that is uneditable and underneath that I want to insert a text box so people can type in the box then print off the whole page with their comments. I can do all of that except the problem is when I insert the text box, the cursor is left justified but appears in the middle of the textbox. So when people start typing, there is a huge gap between the title and what they've typed. I want their typing to appear directly under the title. What am I doing wrong? See attached for a visual explanation. Thanks.

    You can have the text in the field top jusitied. This is controlled on the Font palette. Turn on the Font palette under the window menu. It usually will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. Now highlight the field you want to adjust. Make usre the paragraph tab is slected. Click on the small dropdown arrow indictaed in yellow in the screen shot and select "Edit Value". Now click the top justification as indicated by the arroe in the csreen shot.

  • I need some basic help with Email setup

    Hello, I ve just been connected to infinity and I m trying to setup a few email addresses but the BT yahoo system is confusing me.
    I managed to create a new email (sub account) for my wife but I m struggling with finding a way to have a couple more for myself. Do I really need to make a sub account for each email?
    The default email has my name and surname in it which is not something I generally use for that purpose, I would only use that one for close friends and family, I would like to setup another one for general use and one for when there is a likelyhood it ll get a lot of spam.
    The way to add extra emails is usually very simple (with previous isps) , login to "manage my account" and choose username and password then enter the details in outlook express.
    With BT I m having to deal with the Yahoo thingy, which does a lot of more than just emails but at this time I have interest in it at all.
    1 - I would simply like to setup a few emails to use with outlook express, what is the best way to achieve that ?
    2 - The yahoo email seems to be part of a network like facebook, as I  don t intend to use that side of it I would prefer not to have my personal details associated with a profile that I do not  need . It seems to be for public viewing by default.
    Can I set up and use my emails without having an online profile for yahoo?
    How do i keep my details offline (not publicly viewable in yahoo)?
    thanks.

    yes!
    you get one prime email address. the one you agreed to and the one to set up your bt mail, it was in letter confirming bt set up. (order ref)
    for more for yourself, or anybody else,  its got to be sub. up to ten for INF2
    I have set up 4 sub accounts with different names, etc. but use the same password for all 5 .
    I then had them set up with outlook express, there is a bt prog to do this. look on site.
    Then I use incredimail as my final mail client, this also has a prog to set up from outlook express.
    so all my mail to and from me ends up in incredimail with my 4 sub accounts, using one as my prime.
    my bt prime I do not use, as it is my full name.
    so far so good, just a bit slow finding its way, like you my previous ISP (tesco) was less complicated, but slow copper wire.
    good luck
    Ronin22
    In the end we will all be star dust.
    Then start all over again.

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.

    Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
    However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.

  • My itunes no longer plays music.

    My itunes no longer plays music. This is both songs from my library and any songs I select from the itunes store to sample.  I can still buy songs and they sync to my ipod but again they will not play on iTunes.  I have the latest iMac

    Hi there dryval76!
    There are a couple of reasons for seeing an issue such as that. I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot and find out the source of the issue. The first is an article about troubleshooting issues with playing songs in iTunes, and it can be found here:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12135
    If the issue is happening in all areas of your computer, not just iTunes, then you will want to reference this article:

  • I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

    i added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

    Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
    If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine. 
    This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file
