Play one song and stops

I've had i-tunes for awhile and never had any problems.I listen to i-tunes on mydesktop at work. Yesterday I cleaned up my library (got rid of songs I did not want) now all of a sudden I play one song and thats it. I have to go back to the library and click on the next song. Any suggestions?

I figured it out! each song has to have a check mark in front of it. Some how when I was editing things the song were all unchecked. Hold the 'CTRL" key and click one song and all the songs are automatically checked.

How do I stop iPod on my iPad 2 from automatically advancing from one song to the next in my music library or in a playlist? I want iPod to play one song and then stop until it's told to play the next song. In iTunes I can uncheck the checkmarks next to songs, but I can't see where to do that on the iPad 2.

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

Good luck. I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything. iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist.
In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files). You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order. Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song. You'll still have to double-click on each song.
Might be a good time to learn AppleScript It would also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

Sorry for double post, doesnt seem to be an edit option, this also works both ways.

While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song? I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

Hello nowrunning,
Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings? To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

Why do my playlists play one song and stop?

My audiobook playlists play one track and stop. They are all checked. If I highlight them and push play, it plays the first and stops. It was working fine this morning, and my music playlists work fine. Memory isn't a problem, and everything I have is legal. Everything is fully updated.

Not that I have ever seen or heard of. Sorry.

Some games it just stops and goes back to main screen

Has anyone ever had this happen? There are a few games lately, Angry Birds, Hanging with Friends (haven't even played it yet, just got it) and they get to a certain point and the screen just goes blank then goes back to main screen.

My iTunes will only play one song and then stops.

In a playlist, my iTunes will play only one track and then it stops. Won't move to the next song, won't work in shuffle mode, just plays once and that's it! Any ideas? This just started a few days ago, maybe with a recent iTunes update? I'm in 11.0.3 (and of course, my AppleCare has just expired).

Hello kitkatmac
I would check to make sure that the songs in your playlist are check in the checkbox section. If they are not the songs will play and then stop once it is done playing like you have described.

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.

IPOD...Play one song and stop???

I asked a previous question about my IPOD, but I think it was misunderstood? How do I get one song to play, and then stop? Not repeat again just stop? Thanks, Randy

I don't think there is, Try posting your question in the ipod forums. They may know something I do not about this issue. I forgot if you have a nano or 5G ipod so heres a link to both forums

ITunes Plays One Song and then Stops

I have had no problems with my iTunes until this morning. I usually use my arrows to skip to different songs and this morning that option didn’t work. So I found the song I wanted to play, clicked on it, and the song played but as soon as it was done iTunes stops playing songs. It will not go on to the next one. I have made sure that I have the “repeat all” button and the “shuffle” button clicked on like always. I even re-downloaded the program to see if that would work. It’s driving me crazy because I usually turn on my music and just let it run while I work. Now I have to click and manually start a new song every time. I have looked through all the preferences, settings, and help topics but nothing seems to help. If you guys know what to do to fix this please let me know! Thank you SO MUCH in advance!!!

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

I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.
Regards.

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.

ITunes is playing one song on some albums and stops

I am using iTunes 8, but this problem is persisting since last Christmas. I click on an album to play, in particular a Christmas album, and it plays one song and then it stops. All of the settings are such that it should play the entire album the whole way through.
Also, I have a Christmas playlist. When I shuffle it, it suddenly gets stuck on one album and shuffles that indefinitely, ignoring the other albums and music.
Can someone please help? This doesn't seem to affect other non-Christmas music.

Make sure that all tracks have a checkmark in front of them. Also...when using Shuffle, make sure the tracks are not set to Skip When Shuffling (under Get Info).
