Next song button "sticks"

I'm wondering why it seems that occasionally while listening to my nano, I am unable to move to the next song while an other song is playing. On these occasions, I can press and press the "skip to the next song" button - and nothing happens. Any ideas? Is there some setting I'm missing, or is it somehow periodically getting stuck?
Thanks,
~john

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.

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).

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

Skip-to-next-song button balky

I've noticed on my iphone that, on occasion while playing a song on the ipod, it sometimes takes repeated touches of the advance button to skip to the next song in the shuffle. This doesn't always happen, however. I also have noticed this with the other iphones I have owned along the way -- an intermittent problem, which sometimes I can cure by skipping backward and then forward. Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

This happens to me constantly on my iphone 3g. I can't go for a drive without having ipod crash on pressing the skip button. The skip button remains lit up and it doesn't do anything, and I have to force quit ipod. This is the biggest problem with my iphone because I bought it to function as an ipod too! I thought it might be the smart playlists I have set up but it crashes on general shuffle too.

Feature request : Crossfade when skipping to next song ...

Hello,
Is there any feature request area for iTunes ? I really love the program and think it is great. I would like to request implementation of crossfading between songs when hitting the next song button. This is the only reason I still have to use my winamp from time to time. Almost every other player has this feature or a plugin that has.
It is really anoying when we have some friends over or a party at home and you want to skip to the next song. The cold transition really cools down everyone ...
Hoping this will be implemented !
Greetings

ITunes 11 (loop 1 song) not possible to change to next song

Hey guys, i noticed a bug in iTunes 11.
Can anyone confirm it?
When i choose to repeat 1 song, and after that press next song button in iTunes or on keyboard, it simply starts same song from beginning and not next as it should be.

It took me a while, but I finally came up with a solution for this! It's not a perfect one for everybody (since you have to make hotkeys) but it works great if you use something like Alfred or Quicksilver to control iTunes already.
Basically, I wrote an AppleScript that detects if Repeat One is on. If it is, then the script very quickly disables it, skips to the next track, and turns it back on. Skipping then works just like it did with iTunes 10 and iDevices.
I put the scripts up for download here: iTunes 11: Restore track skipping with Repeat One turned on (OSX)
Hope this helps some people.

ITunes "next song/forward" button instead restarts current song

This just started happening to me. Every time I try to skip to the next song, iTunes instead just restarts the current song. It was happening with iTunes 8, I installed 8.2, it's still happening; it happens if I push the button with my mouse OR if I use the key control to advance to the next song. I'm using a Macbook. Help, it's really annoying!

oh for gods sake. for some reason it was set on "repeat one song." I AM SORRY FOR BEING A MORON XO.

Repeat button set is set to white= off. but next song always plays

Repeat button set is set to white= off, but the next song always plays with shuffle either on or off.
The other two (Blue) Repeat options function properly.
Any ideas or suggestions?

If you touch the screen in album cover mode it will bring up the controls for repeat and shuffle. This is all covered in the iPod User Guide available at: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

TS1717 I just downloaded a song and it only plays the first 50 seconds and then moves to the next song in the list. How can I get it to play the rest of the song?

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
AJ

Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
Good Luck!

Song keeps repeating; doesn't go to next song

suddenly the songs do not move to the next song when finished. I need to do it manually. Any thoughts?

In the past I have accidentally set the repeat function. If you go to play the song and you have the iPhone upright with the album art displayed... you click on the album art and you get the time controls at the top of the screen. On the left there is a button for repeat (looks like a race track) and on the right the button for shuffle (looks like an X). If it is white it is not set, if it is blue it is set. Make sure it's white.

Try to play next song or the song ends and the music stops. Whats wrong with it?

Every time I hit "next" to play the next song, the current song playing will stop and wont play the next song. This also happens when the songs ends. When the song ends it won't start the next song. How do I fix this?
Also the shuffle won't shuffle any one my songs.
HELP!!!!!!

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPod?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPod shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If these don't work try removing all music via iTunes and reinstall all the music from your iTunes library.
