Playlist songs do not play sequentially

When I listen to a Playlist on the Touch it does not play the songs in the order that they appear in the Playlist. It skips around like it's on permanent shuffle. This is OK for music playlists, but it does not work when I am listening to Books that have 30 chapters and it skips from Chapter 1 to 12. Is there a way to play the songs or chapters in the same order that they appear in the Playlist?

I'm an idiot. I didn't realize that I needed to tap the Shuffle arrows twice to remove the Shuffle effect.

HT204406 I opened i Tunes on my mac and while i see the songs in some of my playlists they will not play. The computer says the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? When i do it won't play.

You will need to locate where you itunes library is and then relink one of the songs, itunes will do the rest. So if your itunes library is on an external hard drive or something like that. When you get the error message click yes you would like to locate it. then navigate to the external hard drive where the itunes libray is and locate that particular song. Once you have linked one, itunes will ask if you would like it to locate the rest, click yes and it will find the rest of the files if they are in the same location.

HT1933 iTunes downloaded song will NOT play

Why can I view the song on the playlist (on both iPod and Powerbook) and yet the song will not play on either? It is NOT listed as having been interrupted as a download and the rest of the album plays without incident.

Sounds like a faulty file. Delete it and redownload a fresh one at no extra cost
Goto iTunes Store
Select Purchased from under Quick Links to the right
Navigat to the music you want and click on the cloud button to re download.
If it came from a cd then reimport it.
If it came from another source then they will give you instructions on how to redownload if you can

In an iPod Nano 6 songs will not play in A-Z order.

I have over 100 songs in one playlist. This concerns an iPod Nano 6. The songs are in alphabetical order on my Nano. The songs will not play in alphabetical order and skips around. How can I corredt this problem?

It's not a "problem," if the iPod is set to shuffle. On page 21 of the 6th gen nano's manual

find the shuffle button on the Now Playing screen (it looks like two arrows crossing). Tap it to toggle between shuffling the current song list and playing it in order.

Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this. This problem has been happening for around a week now. At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play. When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

Hey brewmaster1967,
Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

I should add that every time I remove the iPod from my computer to try and see if any of the songs are back it asks me for a language just like the first time you start it up. Kinda like it forgets everytime I plug it into the computer.

Installed Itunes: New PC, Windows 7 x64, updated ipod software, click to eject ipod, PC goes to blue screen, dumps data, restarts; songs do not play correctly on ipod. IE: play a song - only first few seconds will play. Some songs play fully, some do not.

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

My songs are not playing in my itunes. There's a dotted gray circle. What to do?

My songs are not playing.

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Itunes not playing songs....getting an error message telling me the song will not play and cant be found

I have had an itunes account for a long time. recently i turned it on to get new songs and realized that alot of my old song are not playing. it shows the file, but when i try to play it tells me file can not be found. please help figure this out. thanks.

When you see a "file" in your iTunes library (inside itunes) it is not showing you the file. Select it in itunes and then get info - this will show you where the actual file is on your hard drive under the "where" bullet. Try this first for a song that is working. It will show where your library is, and you can then see how your library is organized.
Now try it for a song it can't find. You will probably get the same error, (can't find the file) However, then use widows to search your entire computer for the file. Hopefully by looking at the other songs that ARE there, you'll get a better idea of what exactly to search for.
Finally, when you "add" a song into iTunes, you can be given the option to "Copy" the file into your itunes library (recommended) or just leave a pointer (like a shortcut) to the file. If you choose this pointer/shortcut option, it can be pretty easy to delte/move the files by accident. If you move them, the shortcut/pointer will become broken.

TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly. How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

I had the same issue. In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies. I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes. on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone. Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone. So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long. Hope this helps!

Songs do not play in full

Hi, I downloaded some albums on iTunes. However, several songs do not play in full and jump to the next song when not completely finished. How can I fix this?
Thanks

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
