Only plays one song in a row

Okay maybe I am a dork, but I just loaded itunes on my pentium 3 with windows 2000 and I cannot get it to play for more than one song. Kinda ***** when you have a good playlist, you highlight the first song, hit play, and it only plays the first song. Help?

head into your main library window. are all the little boxes to the left of the track names unchecked? if so, hold down Ctrl and click on one of the boxes to do a "recheck all". (this may take a wee while.)
do you get continuous play after doing that?

  • Only Plays One Song at a Time ???

    I'm trying to listen to albums in my library but iTunes will only play one song at a time, very annoying to have to down arrow and click play after every song. How can I make iTunes play through my library without stopping?
    I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) and YES all the songs are checked.
    Thanks~

    <SOLVED>
    I disabled the Ping drop-down from the Terminal with:
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-ping-dropdown -bool TRUE
    and viola! Now my library plays without stopping after just one song. Not sure why this fixed my problem but it did? I guess it's just another reason to get rid of Ping!

    When listening to songs on my itunes acct (without ipod attached), I can only play one song at a time. It doesn't automatically play next song on list. It happens with all playlists. It only started happening when I downloaded the latest itunes update.

    Are all songs checked in your playlist?

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time, it wont play my playlist or library

    all of a sudden my itunes will only play one song and then stop and when i press the "next" button, it just stops the song playing. and now there are check boxes in front of each song and i dont know what it means? i just want to be able to put my library on shuffle and play through them!!

    The check boxes have been there for as long as I can remember. You can see them in screenshots back as far as iTunes 1: iTunes Screenshots
    The check boxes have a number of uses: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    The iPod has an option to only sync checked songs
    The Genius & iTunes DJ features will ignore unchecked songs
    Basically unchecking is a way of telling iTunes to ignore the item and exclude it from other automatic features.

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time

    After much toing and froing on my new computer, I now have all my songs re-imported into the library. However, iTunes will now only play one song at a time: after it plays one song it just halts; the forward arrow is just greyed out. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Try checking all of those little boxes. To check all at once, hold ctrl while checking one.

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time ... help please

    All of my songs are checked, but iTunes only plays one song at a time. I can't figure out why. Any suggestions? It just started doing this.

    You don't mean you want it to play multiple tracks at the same time, do you? Like where you would hit play and ALL the songs would start playing at the same time?
    Or do you mean iTunes will only play one song then stop rather than going on to the next one?

  • My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time.  It will not shuffle or continuously play an album.  All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on.  Any suggestions?

    My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music.  Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset.  What am I missing?  It has never done this before....

  • My iPod only plays one song at a time

    I don't store any music on my iPod - only music videos. They all play fine, and they're stored as properly tagged music video files under Menu->Videos->Music Videos. After I first synced them from my PC, I noticed that they also all appear under Menu->Music as songs. I can play them all just fine, either by selecting one through Menu->Videos (in which case it plays as a video) or by selecting one though Menu->Music, in which case it plays as a regular song with a little picture displayed instead of the video.
    So far, so good.
    The only problem is, I can only play one song at a time. I navigate through the menu, select either a song or a video, and the iPod will play that just fine, get to the end, and then bring up the menu again.
    How can I get it to play the one I select, and then just play other random songs? It makes no difference whether or not 'shuffle' is selected, it still only plays one then stops. Also, putting the songs in a playlist doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Are you sure you don't have Shuffle on? There are a couple of ways to Shuffle on a 5th Gen. iPod. You can't simply choose Shuffle Songs from the Main Menu and shuffle the entire library...or you can go to Settings > Shuffle and choose Songs or Albums and apply that to any playlist you select. The behavior you describe is what happens when Shuffle is turned on and items are set to Skip When Shuffling (an option found on the tracks under Get Info). If Shuffle is on, you should see the little green crossed arrows in the upper right of the iPod window.

  • ITunes only playing one song at a time

    Since the 7.6 upgrade in January, my iTunes is only playing one song before stopping. Do I need to reinstall? Will wiping out the instance of iTunes on my PC blow away my music or video libraries?
    Thanks in advance

    just curious, I have a large library (over 6K songs) and I used to have them all 'checked' so I could play until my hearts content...now, all the checkmarks are gone. I really don't want to click all 6K song titles and when I 'select all' it doesn't add a checkmark. I searched the knowledge base, but a solution to this simple request seems to be evading me.
    Can you provide me any suggestions to get ALL my songs with a checkmark?

  • Apple tv 2 only plays one song at a time.

    Apple tv 2 will only play one song at a time from iTunes library.  When I click "play" on an album or playlist it plays one song and stops.  Was fine until recent update.

    Recent updates have been a brutal road to unsatisfied customers.  restoring device is probably best option

  • Blackberry 8330 only plays one song at a time

    ts a brand new phone, 4 gig card, used desktop manager to load songs... why will it only play one song at a time?
    this is pretty strange...

    Hello,
    I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
    Soft reboot :
    1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
    - Alt
    - Right Shift
    - Delete
    2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
    Hard reboot :
    1) your Blackberry device is on
    2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
    3) Put the battery back
    4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
    Please tell us if it works for you.

  • I-tunes 7.7.1 only plays one song at a time

    Hi, help me please.
    My i-tunes is now only playing one song at a time, the song will end and i-tunes stops. It will not move onto the next song even when I've got the song as part of a gapless album. This has just happened, it used to work fine before.
    I did uninstall and delete the version I had on my computer and downloaded and installed another however the problem still exists.
    Any advice would be great thanks

    Is all the boxes to the left of the song titles checked?

  • I changed a setting and now my nano only plays one song at a time over and over again.  What and Where to I need to change

    I must have changed a setting because the nano will only play one song and then repeat the one song.  How do I change it back so it will play all the songs on the list?

    Sounds like you turned on the repeat single song feature.
    Go to now playing, then swipe right to left to get to the second screen. At this second screen you will see three icons. The one on the left looks like a loop and I am going to guess that there is a little "1" there on the loop. Hit that button until the 1 goes away. You will be able to find all this info in the online documentation for the Nano. That planb linked to above.

  • After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

    after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

    First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
    If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
    Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

  • Since update iTunes will only play one song at a time.

    I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it. iTunes will only play one song and then it's done. It won't continuously play from my libray. I have over 5000. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just can't find the solution. I even click on the next button and it stops.

    Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.
