Shuffle freezes, doesn't play next song, plays only one song

Hi!
Okay, so my ipod is offically broken. I got it as a b-day present in the summer of 2005, and i had to send it back once because the battery broke. This friday (yep, friday the 13th) it broke when i was waiting for my bus.
it plays one song in the beginning, then it stops. if i press the next button the shuffle stops. however the reverse button works, but it goes in a cycle(and no, i am NOT in PIO). Also if I fastfoward into about a minute into the song, and then press next, it works. That is for a little while. It basically does the same thing in PIO.
The pause and volume buttons work fine.
When I plugged my shuffle into the computer, it didn't even recognize it. If i can get the bootex to load without crashing the computer, which it does now, it says that the shuffle is dirty.
I've download itunes 7, reinstalled itunes, charged my shuffle with the wall adaptor, placed the shuffle in all of the USB ports(yes ALL of them), and i restarted my ipod.
This is a fairly recent development, but i had placed homemade recordings that i created with my camera on the shuffle. it worked fine on the 12th, after i updated my shuffle, and it was working on the morning of the 13th, until i accidently clicked the next button. Weird thing was that i clicked the next button earlier that morning, and nothing happened.
I tried to provide many details in hopes that some one knows a quick and easy fix.
my problem sounds very simular to bcructh.
thanks, lindz

I don't think that it has to do with the itunes 7 though.
I just install it today, and my shuffle broke on friday.
I really hope that some one is going to answer this SOON because i am NOT looking forward to a busride with smelly, loud, self-center freshmen (they really do smell, I'm not trying to be a jerk, and they are self-center and EXTREMALLY loud for 6:30 in the morning) with out music.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore.

When I choose an album to play in my itunes library, only one song will play and then itunes stops. Also, when I click on next, itunes just stops playing.

When I choose an album to play in my itunes library, only one song plays and then itunes stops. Also, when I click on the next button, itunes stops. How can I play an entire album through without stopping after each song?

Sounds like you have accidentally unchecked all items. In the Songs view ctrl-click on any empty checkbox.

IPhone plays only one song at a time

After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.

THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

Only one song playing at a time

I recently was upgraded to ITunes 7.6.29, and found that I had to reimport all my music -- ITunes couldn't find it. That hurdle passed, I then found that I had to redo my playlists. I fixed that.
Now, though, when I listen to a playlist only one song plays. I must hit play for it to move down to the next song in the playlist. This is new, and appears (to me) to be some sort of bug in the new version. I've looked at the controls; I've tried hitting play and double-clicking on the song, etc. but nothing works.
Any help?
Thanks.

It sounds as if your songs have become un-checked. I believe that, in Windows, you control-click on any of the boxes and all of them will be checked.

Only one song plays at a time

I have one playlist with 300 songs. I decided to break this up to three 100-playlists. But, after doing this, i found that all of my playlists play only one song at a time. And, my advance button doesn't work. Problem never occurred before I broke up this one playlist. Thanks for your help.

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - control-click on any checkbox on a Windows system will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

Playing Only One Song

How do I play only one song on my iPod, then stop without automatically going to the next song? I can't find a setting and not sure how to do it.
I play in a small band and have loaded recorded audio backing tracks into the iPod. I want to be able to play the song (i.e., backing track), then stop when it is finished without automatically going to the next song.

Thanks. I knew I could create a playlist with one song in it. However, when on stage that will take too much time between playing individual songs. Unless, I set up a single song playlist for each song, of which there are hundreds that we do.
I was hoping I could find a setting that would allow me to play a single song directly from the Library.

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

TS1389 None of these resolutions solved my problem. Now what? It is only one song that it won't play.

None of the resolutions suggested by Apple solved my problem. It is only one song that won't play.

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?

I want to play two videos with only one MediaPlayer:
private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
private static Media mLogo;
private static Media mSaludo;
private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
private static MediaView mvLogo;
private static Group gLogo;
public void start(final Stage stage) {
mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create();
mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
stage.setScene(sActual);
stage.show();When I want to play mLogo:
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do this:
mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();But is impossible to change the Media. It doesn't work. Sometimes I play mLogo video and sometimes (depends on the code) the video mLogo doesn't start and I see an image of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exceptions, no errors, nothing.
I want to play mLogo and then mSaludo. How can I do this?
Thanks

Ok, I understand, if I have 100 videos I have to build 100 MediaPlayers but only one MediaView.
Here I post my code with only two videos, I included all the asynchronous errors.

Playback no longer continuous - only one song at a time

I used to select a playlist and then hit play, and I'd get playback of random songs continuously. Now I have to select a song to get it to play, and only one song plays. I've tried adjusting the shuffle commands and turning shuffle on and off, but no luck. Any suggestions on how to restore continuous playback, either randomly (shuffle) or continuously (album or playlist)?

Make sure all the tracks have the box checkmarked. To check them all at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.

How could I put many song in only one album view?

I saved a lot of folders with many songs from my PC to my laptop. When I put all of these songs into my Music Library, It happens that many songs of the same album appears as if they were separated albmus, so my cover flow view has many "albums" that are only one song.
How can I Put these songs together again?
Thanks a lot

ITunes repeatedly prompts for computer authorization for only one song

I already tried apple recommended resolutions but unfortunately they were not my resolution. Only one song after purchasing lots of others cannot be played because it asks computer authorization. I'm using windows 7 and itunes is the most recent. Now no one in apple is replying to my email. Did anyone have the similar case like this and solved,, please suggest the solution!

I just solved by myself. I signed on to another computer's itunes and downloaded the song. It looks like no better solution out there. I hope anyone else who encountered the same problem - for the first time and frustrated badly like me - get help from this.

Help!! i brought an album a few years ago and only one song on the album comes up in my music libary but on the store it shows that i have purchased the whole album. how do i get the rest of the album???

have brought album off the store but only one song in library how do I get rest of album??

If you don't have it on your backup of your downloads/library then you might be able redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, or if you go into the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading. If it doesn't show then check to see if you've hidden it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

There are no robots here. Everyone here is a "real person", a user just like you. How about telling us what the problem is that you are experiencing when you try to buy a song? If you mean that you have forgotten your security questions, go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click "Manage My Account", sign in, and go to the Password and Security section. If you've forgotten your answers, there should be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address. If the link for the email doesn't appear, as can happen if you didn't set a rescue email address or (apparently) have a .Mac email address, see the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:
