Playlists stop after one song

I am having a problem where my playlists stop playing after one song in Itunes. This does not happen in my IPOD lists just Itunes.
I ran the setup and repaired - same problem
Reinstalled - same problem.
Deleted playlists and created new ones - same problem.
Highlighting several songs and playing - prob remains.
Any help would be appreciated. If it is a settings issue, not sure why it doesn't affect the IPOD songs played through Itunes. Only the Itunes playlists stop playing.
Appreciate any help.

i was hoping it was something simple. (after a hard day in Installations & Upgrades, it's nice when something goes fairly smoothly.) glad to help!
love, b

  • Apple TV stops after one song

    Hi All,
    I recently bought my Apple TV (3rd gen) and have the most recent update (5.2). I also have the most up to date iTunes (11.0.1). The thing is that when I want to enter the library on my laptop (windows 7) Apple TV freezes after one song. It loads the next song but then stops. I still can go back in the menu, but the connection with the library is lost.
    I also have a desktop computer (windows 7) running with a different iTunes library, and when i stream music from that library everything works fine. So my guess is that there is something wrong in the laptop (ACER Travelmate). I tried loads of things but they all do not seem to work:
    - switched off windows firewall
    - switched off IP/V6
    - reinstalled the bonjour software
    - reinstalled the itunes software
    - I use a TP-link router with up to date firmware
    Any ideas what might cause this problem? Is there maybe any other software that could be blocking my connection?
    Tnx!

    I have the same problem.  I think it is disgusting that nobody at Apple has responded to your post.  I see no evidence that Apple cares about this bug, which renders Airplay (on Apple TV) useless.

  • Playlist stops after each song or podcast

    I have podcasts on a playlist, and for some reason, sometimes it only plays one song or podcast, then doesn't go to the next one. I have to go back and click on the next one to play it.

    Are there check marks beside all the items in the playlist? Unchecked items have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked items 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

  • I created a playlist with 100 songs.  I want those 100 songs played using the shuffle option.  This no longer works in iTunes version 11.1.5.5  How can I get an entire  playlist to paly one song after another by using the switch option?

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • Airplay cuts out after one song

    I am having a problem with airplay cutting out after each song when using Itunes. I tunes continues to play but tracks but is not transmitting via airplay.
    configuration is as follows:
    Airport time capsule is connected via wireless to airport express, airport express is connected to wireless internet router via cat 6 RJ45, Apple TV connected via wireless to airport express.
    It is not physically possible to connect all devices together with cable.
    Time capsule is set to extend network via wireless connection to airport express and both are configured for 5GHz.
    I can connect my MAC Book Pro mid 2012 to either the Time capsule or airport express.
    Aiport express is connected to a Sound sytem and apple TV is also connected to separate Sound System.
    When playing tracks through ITunes and selecting both or either airport express or apple TV airplay cuts out. If I connect directly to my old internet router it also cuts out, indicating there is a possible problem with the WI-FI connection but each device has a perfect connection due to their proximity. If I connect my MAC Book Pro directly to the airport express in the same room and within 4 ft of each other airplay cuts out after one track so that does not indicate a signal error.
    This problem has only started recently and did not happen on my windows PC and if I play directly from my IPad or Iphone the music streams perfectly but I can only stream to one device at a time.
    Current configs:
    Airport express Version 7.6.4
    Time Capsule version 7.7.1
    Itunes version 11.1.3 (8)
    MAC Book Pro OS 10.8.5 mid 2012
    Apple TV (latest update)
    Obvious things I have done:
    Checked for updates
    Rebooted every device several times
    Tried moving every device closer together (made no difference)
    Re-rooted all light aircraft and switched off every thing that could possibly that transmits device in the house
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

    I have this same problem. 
    I am using an Alienware Aurora desktop PC running Windows 8.1.  My music library is stored on  Synology Diskstation 1513+ NAS.  The PC, Playmaker and NAS are all wired into a Netgraer D6300 router. 
    I have no problem playing iTunes through my PC speakers or headphones but when I use Airplay to play either through my Apple TV OR my Bang and Olufsen Playmaker (through to B&O speakers) the music stops after one track even though iTunes is still playing the next track in the playlist.  If I stop and restart, or if I choose another track it plays through to the end and the problem starts again.  If I play wirelessly from my iPhone through the Playmaker and the B&O speakers I have no problem.  So it seems to be fairly and squarely an Airplay issue?
    This was intermittently happening but is now happening all the time.  GRRRRRR!

  • I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion

    I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion? I have still 487GB free.

    Quit all other programs and open Disk Utility
    Select your "MacintoshHD" drive on the left and indented and click Erase > Erase Free Space > Zero and let it complete.
    Also run First Aid > Repair Disk and permisisons.
    If Repair disk gives a error, you have a bigger problem, if repair permisisons fixes and completes, even if it fixes the same thing twice if you click it again, it's ok. Apple just changed things.
    You should be able to download the file sucessfully this time, if not, take it to another location with better/faster internet.
    If not then run through this list

  • My playlist stops playing after one song.

    My playlists have all the songs checked on my computer. Today my iPhone is playing only one song at a time on a playlist. When I try to click the "start" arrow to get the next tune playing, nothing happens. I have to log out of the playlist and then select it again. I've tried this with shuffle feature on and off - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at iTunes 11 on my Windows7 Pro computer and it is not giving me any clues. Hints are welcome and I'm an experienced computer user.

    Hello, Apple? Help?
    I don't believe you are doing anything wrong - I believe it's an Apple iTunes issue.
    I'm having a similar problem with Itunes on my iMac. I'm playing iTunes on my iMac, to my Apple TV, and can't get iTunes to play more than one song at a time no matter what I try.
    HOWEVER: When I play iTunes locally (Computer), even with external speakers - iTunes random/repeat works fine. So it seems to me to have something to do with mirroring/playing to an external device.

  • Playlist stops after every few songs

    I have a playlist that stops playing after playing through four items in the list. I can start it anywhere in the list and sure enough, after playing four selections it stops. Here are some facts about the problem:
    - I have all the check-boxes checked.
    - Playlist length: 600 entries
    - Type: mp3 encoded snippets of Chinese language phrases.
    - File size: ranges from 12KB-18KB per mp3 (<= 1 second)
    - When it stops the progress bar is about at about 2/3, with the left side showing either 0:00 or 0:01 and the right side showing either -0:00 or -0:01 and the pause button is still showing (as though the selection was still playing)
    - It will start playing again if I hit the pause button twice (once to toggle it to pause and then to go back to play)
    - All the files play fine individually
    - Reducing the playlist size doesn't help
    - Moving the files to a new play list doesn't help
    - Deleting and re-adding the files doesn't help
    The playlist plays all the way through on my iPod without stopping but maybe every 100 entries or so it will play the next 4-8 without any sound and then continue as normal.
    I have over 8000 other mp3 language snippets just like these in other playlists but the files are bigger(from 20KB-60KB)and they play through the whole list just fine. If I put files from the offending list into one of the other lists the other list will often stop playing just after that song. I'm curious whether iTunes has a problem handling really small files because this problem was happening in all my playlists of this type until I sorted them into lists of different file sizes. Now only the list with the smallest files (<20KB) has the problem.
    Can anyone help?

    They don't have a clue. I've called a few Apple stores because I have the same problem. Of course no one has heard of this type of problem but is seems fairly common.

  • Stopping songs from automatically stopping after one play

    Hey guys,
    After doubleclicking a song on the playlist, the song plays but then instead of playing another song stops showing the apple logo. This happens no matter if the songs are played in libary, playlists or party shuffle or if songs are highlighted. How can we rectify this so each song plays after one another?
    Thanks

    hmmmm. are all the little checkboxes to the left of your tracknames unchecked? (that can produce the symptoms you're reporting.)
    to check all (or uncheck all) your songs, hold down Ctrl and click on one of the boxes.

  • How do I get my playlists to play one song and than stop?

    I am trying to use my iphone to play songs in a playlist for a presentation. However, I don't want the playlist to AUTOMATICALLY jump to the next song after the previous one has finished playing; I want to manually control that function on my iphone, similar to how you uncheck boxes on your itunes playlist so that the playlist will not automatically play the next song.
    Does anyone have any advice for me on how to do this?

    You're welcome.
    Unless you select repeat or shuffle, a playlist will play straight through in the order the songs are in the playlist beginning with the first song that you select. If you have shuffle enabled, shuffle will begin after the first song plays that you select.
    If you have sync only checked songs and video selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, any song deselected in a playlist that you've selected to be transferred to your iPhone will not be transferred to your iPhone with the playlist. iTunes is doing as you've selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. After the songs in a playlist are transferred to your iPhone, what I provided in the first paragraph applies.
    With sync only checked songs and video selected, this way you can remove a song from your iPhone without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes. You may not want the song removed from the playlist in iTunes but you want the song removed from the playlist on your iPhone.

  • New or modified iTune playlists only play one song then stop.

    My wife changed the settings on iTunes last night.  New, or modified playlists only play current songs then stop.  Existing playlists work normally.

    Are the songs on the CD from different artists?
    If so, then if you are going into MUSIC -> ARTIST -> Christmas CD and hitting PLAY, it will play the songs from THAT ARTIST on THAT CD, probably only one.
    What you'd have to do is go on your iPod: MUSIC -> ALBUM -> Christmas CD. By doing this, you'll play every song from that album regardless of artist.

  • Playlist stops when current song ends

    Hey, this is probably a dumb question, but something happened to my iT for W and all of my playlists/library/everything stops after the current song ends, and I have to manually click on the next one to get it to play. Any help for this, please? It's getting to be really annoying.

    Never Mind-kill the topic. I figured it out.

  • ITunes stops after every song

    Hey there, sorry for the potential stupid question. I've been using iTunes for a long time now, but I've never encountered this before. Basically, the title says it all. After every song, iTunes goes idle. This occurs in playlists, the library...everywhere. Maybe I checked something random without intending to, but I've looked around and can't figure it out. Any help would be more than, um, helpful. Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    Did you accidently uncheck all the tracks in your library? Are the boxes in front of all the titles unchecked? If so, place your cursor over one of the unchecked boxes and Command-Click. All of the boxes should turn blue and will now contain a checkmark. iTunes will stop if there are no checkmarked tunes to move to after the currently playing track.
