Places Slideshow will only play photos in date order

I am having a problem with the Places theme in Slideshow in that it will only play the slides according to date. I imported photos from my camera and maunally tagged them in Places with various cities. I then created an album, manually moved the photos into the order I wanted (made sure that "manually" is the setting in the sort options in the View Photos menu) but when I play the slideshow, it will only play the slides by date. This only occurs in the Places theme as the others themes play the order correctly. It happens whether I create a slideshow or just press the slideshow button at the bottom of the screen in album mode. I even tried to batch create titles for the photos, appending them by number and them sorting them by title and still they will only play by date. I'm hoping this is something simple that I am overlooking as I really recently came back from an overseas vacation and would like to use the Places theme for a family slideshow.

I ran into the same problem. I created a new library just for creating the slideshow so I would not mess up the original pictures. After arranging all of the pictures in a album in the order I wanted (manual sort) I batch changed the date time stamp of the pictures with a one minute interval between them. This puts all of the pictures in chronological order and then places them in the order you like for the places slideshow.

40 Gig iPod Photo will only play for five seconds

My 40 Gig iPod Photo will only play the first five seconds of the songs I have on it. I have not changed anyting and it worked just fine last week. Any ideas? I have done a hardware re-set. I have no clue what is going on.
Any help would be great!

Hey!
Have you tried a reset?
Hold down the home button and off button together for about 6-8 seconds(until the apple shows ignoring the slide to turn off at this point).Soon as the Apple appears let go and allow it to reset back to the Home screen(can take a couple of minutes).
Try it again.This isn't a Restore,so you wont lose any of your media.
Cheers,
John

Preview slideshow will not play pictures in order.

I'm looking a cd for work with jpgs. The slideshow won't show them in numerical order. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Following is just a default description which applies to most. There are many differences in how it actually works on specific systems, and all sorts of ways to futz with the system to try to make it work differently. Keeping in mind that YMMV:
a. Podcasts are one of the special classes in iTunes. The only sort possible with Podcasts in iTunes, as podcasts, is on release date. That's the only column you can click on to reorder things.
b. All else being equal, podcasts will only play on the iPS in the same order that they are ranked in iTunes itself.
c. By 'in iTunes' I mean in the Podcasts playlist. You can re-order things in pretty much whatever way you want to in playlists you create yourself, but that won't (in most cases) affect the play order.
As for some other things:
1) Podcasts won't play at all unless you're in the 'Play In Order' position. That doesn't have any actual meaning with its order or play, however.
2) You don't hold any button down to restart it at the beginning. A quick triple-click of the Play button does that.

ITunes 10 will only play the first track of a CD, including brand new CDs.

I reinstalled my operating system and had to reinstall iTunes. Now I have version 10 and after I import a CD it will only play the first track then progressively go track by track skipping through the rest without playing. Does it even whether I try to play from the CD or from the music section I imported it to. Even have 3 brand new CDs that it is doign the same thing to, so I have a hard time believing it is a disc reading issue.

After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

Can anyone assist me with this issue?

To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

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?

Songs will only play one at a time

After updating iTunes, using the last update 7.6.2, it will only play one song at a time and stops. It will not play continuously through a playlist. Am I missing something in the setting? Any suggestions?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

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.

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?

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.
