Problems w/ continuous play & next/prev. song controls

i am having large issues with the next and previous song controls. the controls in the top left corner to the right and to the left of the play/pause button only stop the current playing song when pressed, and when i press the left/right arrow keys on my computer keyboard to move to the next song, the current playing song also stops instead of working correctly.
to make matters worse, when a song in my library finishes playing, it does not go to the next song and begin play like it should, it only stops the music much like what happens when you try to manually go to the next song. i cant get any continuous playback of multiple songs and cant swith from song to song without double clicking with a mouse. can anyone fix this problem?

No problems ... I have the exact parallel problem with remembering the Mac key combo for this one.

TV shows - continue playing next episode

I have these TV shows for the kids with 5 minutes episodes. How can I get it to continue automatically with the next episode after an episode finishes? On the iPad I can press the play button next to the TV show name, but I don't know anything similar in iTunes.
PS I know I can create a playlist, but would like to avoid that. Actually I have the same problem when playing a music album in iTunes, so I assume I am overlooking something basic.

Ok, so here's what I'm going to recommend.
Start by performing a NVRAM reset. Since we're dealing with a potential graphics issue, it's worth a shot and doesn't take very long. You can find the instructions for it here.
Since iTunes is the culprit, it mainly points to some sort of software issue. I'd recommend two things: Safe Boot and trying it out in a Test User.
Are you using any other external monitors?

Is there continuous play of a song while importing cd's iTunes?

I would like to know if there is a feature for, once the songs you are importing from a cd, when you play a song from the cd itself, if you hit the eject button while the song is playing, the song continues to play without delay. If there isn't, this sure would be a nice feature. Sometimes I'll listen to a song on a cd while it is importing the album. Once the album is imported, I would like to eject it and input another cd, but that usually means the song I am listening to will stop playing. Then I have to go into recently added songs to hear that song again while loading up another cd.

I figured that. I just thought there would be, like a buffer, that held the song in memory so there wouldn't be a drop. Thanks.

All my purchased song from iTunes are not playing complete (iPod and computer with Windows Vista), unexpectedly stops and continues with next song. What am I doing wrong?

Can Play Next continue playing songs after it's "next" song?

I've always liked the idea behind Play Next, but don't understand why it doesn't continue playing from the "next" song that I added. It goes back to the previous playlist once the Next song is over. Is it possible to Play Next and Continue On? In other words, if I'm on song 4 and add song 15 to Play Next, why can't it continue onto song 16 instead of going back to song 5?
Also, is Play Next (or some kind of queue system) possible on the iPhone? So I can queue up songs as I'm listening.

Anyone? Is this not a possibility?

Itunes stops working after say half hour of use and will not play next song, the only way to get it working again is to close and reopen, then it works fine till next time, but the problem keeps returning

Continuous play of songs

This is my first Ipod. I cannot get it to play songs continuously. After a song is played it repeats the same song. How do you get it to play the next track automatically?

Hello Bendog,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
When listening to a song, tap the artwork one time to bring up additional controls. There should be a circle consisting of 2 arrows. Go ahead and tap this icon until it is gray, i.e. off. For more help and information, see page 28 of your iPod's *User Guide*

My music app shows it's still playing a song but it's playing next song without finishing the last song.

Since I had my iPhone 5S (I now have a 6 plus), I've had a problem with my iPhone Music app showing that it's playing certain songs but towards the end, it jumps to the next track, but without finishing the one it was playing. The music bar doesn't change - it shows as if it was still playing the former song. It happens randomly with certain songs and it appears all my playlists have been affected by this. I've restored the phone and restored both an iCloud backup (to rule out software issues that iTunes is copying over into the phone) and an iTunes restore from backup. I've also deleted entire albums and redownloaded them right onto the phone, hitting the exact same snag. I've also restored the phone and started it as a new install and hit the exact same snag. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
This is an 8G black Nano.

Continuous play not working for songs transferred to another computer

I purchased a few albums via iTunes. When I changed computers and synced my iPod with the new computer I lost the continuous album play for the songs in these albums. If I play any song from any of these albums and when that song is completed play stops.
I do not have this problem with any copied/ripped CD music, just the music purchased from iTunes.
I did try setting the song option for continuous album play but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Are there check marks beside all the songs? 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

HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

Problem playing some mp3 songs in itunes

It says that iTunes/ipod supports the mp3 format. But some of my songs will only play halfway through then itunes skips to the next song. Those songs affected plays just fine in Windows Media Player or MediaMonkey but not in iTunes. I did some googling on this and it seems that iTunes has problems with ID tags on some songs. I downloaded a tool that should fix the problem, and after using it the songs played in iTunes but some of the information about the songs were lost ( for instance part of album name). I want the information about the songs in my library to be complete so I reentered the missing information, and then the problem was back again. ITunes only played part of the song before skipping to the next.
So long a other players can play the mp3 files I consider this as a BUG in the iTunes code, and expect Apple to fix it.

Hello-
Question: are you streaming audio via Apple TV or AirTunes? If so disable that configuration and set audio to COMPUTER (lower-right part of the iTunes window). Video and Airport Express do not get along with each other.

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the playnext and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the play next and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

I started out with version 11 and loved it right up to the latest update.
I'm beyond my partying days so DJ has nothing for me but I realy loved the drop down with "what's next", the "play next" and the "add to play next" feature and best of all "SHOW DUPLICATES".
I have an eclectic taste in music and a very extensive music collection to go with it. The "show duplicates" feature allowed me to shrink my library by well ove 1,000 songs and eliminated hearing the same song several times when playing randomly. ie, I have the complete Rolling Stones collection and was able to get rid of no fewer than 7 coppies of "Satisfaction".
With all the duplicates lined up you can sample each one and avoid deleting different versions also.
I'm eagerly waitng for the next update to see if my problems with 11 will be fixed. The current update drops out sections of songs (Whipping Post by the Alman Bros. was over in 3 minutes) and I tried repairing and a complete uninstall, reinstall to no avail.

Add the "play next" feature. (Adding chosen lists of songs to any playlist already playing)

Hello, I'm new to spotify and didn't find any duplicates for this idea. Sorry if I'm wrong. Even though I'm new to Spotify, I've used several streaming services already (grooveshark, google play, winamp, etc.) And they all shared a very dear feature to me which I'll call "Play Next" in lack of a better name. The feature is pretty basic and useful: Choosing the song which will play next, before whichever song that was meant to play. There you are, listening to your randomized playlist and you just want to hear a song, or a few songs (either from the playlist itself or not), but you don't necessarily want to stop your playlist from playing. Being new to spotify, I don't know what to do in this situation, I have to click the song and then re-randomize the songs again? Anyhow, I believe it would be a nice addition to the service if you could manipulate the list's order while playing. Then we would be able to listen to any songs we like whenever we like and keep listening to the random songs afterwards. Sorry for any bad english.

Hey there and welcome to the community!
Have you tried to 'Queue' a song? On desktop just right-click a song you want to listen to and choose 'Queue'. Then it will play after the current song. Once that song has been played, your playlist will continue normally. You can access the Play Queue when clicking on the bottom right 3 vertical lines icon.
Was that what you're looking for? ;)

For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.
