Skip-to-next-song button balky

I've noticed on my iphone that, on occasion while playing a song on the ipod, it sometimes takes repeated touches of the advance button to skip to the next song in the shuffle. This doesn't always happen, however. I also have noticed this with the other iphones I have owned along the way -- an intermittent problem, which sometimes I can cure by skipping backward and then forward. Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance.

This happens to me constantly on my iphone 3g. I can't go for a drive without having ipod crash on pressing the skip button. The skip button remains lit up and it doesn't do anything, and I have to force quit ipod. This is the biggest problem with my iphone because I bought it to function as an ipod too! I thought it might be the smart playlists I have set up but it crashes on general shuffle too.

Next song button "sticks"

I'm wondering why it seems that occasionally while listening to my nano, I am unable to move to the next song while an other song is playing. On these occasions, I can press and press the "skip to the next song" button - and nothing happens. Any ideas? Is there some setting I'm missing, or is it somehow periodically getting stuck?
Thanks,
~john

I just figured this out. All of my songs were "unchecked" after I was working on setting up iTunes for multiple ipods. Now that they are all check, the "forward" or "Next" button works fine.

Feature request : Crossfade when skipping to next song ...

Hello,
Is there any feature request area for iTunes ? I really love the program and think it is great. I would like to request implementation of crossfading between songs when hitting the next song button. This is the only reason I still have to use my winamp from time to time. Almost every other player has this feature or a plugin that has.
It is really anoying when we have some friends over or a party at home and you want to skip to the next song. The cold transition really cools down everyone ...
Hoping this will be implemented !
Greetings

Next Song Button - Stops the song and does not advance to the next song

I just loaded 8.0.2.20. Now I cannot use the ">>" next song button. I've tried many playlists and rebooted the system - no luck.
If song 1 in my playlist is playing and I click on the next song button, song 1 stops, song 1 remains highlighted in the main display area (list view).

It's not showing the play or next song buttons on locks screen when the musics are played

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

Bought album and it downloaded in iTunes but it only plays partial of first song and then skips to next song in album, help?

Well I bought the Bring Me The Horizon album There Is A **** Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret on my iPhone and it synced to iTunes on my laptop. The entire album was downloading however when the first song was starting download it displayed an error message and I quickly pressed okay and disregarded it. The rest of the album resumed download and completed. I then went up to the download button next to the search input in the upper right hand corner and finished download for the rest of the song. When I went to listen to the album I was in a minute into the first song, "Crucify Me," and it skipped to the second song in the album, "It Never Ends." I tried playing it over and opening and re-opening iTunes but it still persists to skip the first song a minute in... so it appears to be a partial download. I mean, I have the album downloaded on my iPhone (this was the original site of purchase and download) but currently I am not in a state to do anything with that because my USB cable broke so my phone's been dead for the past few days and I'm waiting until tomorrow to get one with my father, I'm just a 14 year old girl afterall. I need a quick fix for this error and soon, preferably one without needing my iPhone because I want to listen to this album tonight and make sure it's all in order (and so I know what to do for future reference in case this happens again.) Please let me know your suggestions on resolving this issue. - Taylor
P.S. I've inserted a picture of what my iTunes looks like just in case it might help, which I doubt, but it might. Also please don't judge the Blood On The Dance Floor albums... I went through a phase that involved **** music.

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
Good Luck!

My 6th generation keeps skipping to next song

My ipod, 1 day old, keeps skipping to the next song before the song is over, is there any way I can fix that? I noticed it is also doing it in iTunes.

Longshot here, but I had the same thing happen to me, and it turned out to be the way I was using my Nano. I clipped it to my shirt collar with the display inward to my chest, and the contact with my skin was triggering the touch display. Maybe not what's happening to you, but my solution was to put the display to sleep (one button push) while in use.
The fact that it's doing it in iTunes leads me to believe this isn't your problem, but it's what I got.

Using skip to next song when set to repeat song

I use repeat one song quite a bit, but am not able to use the forward side of the click wheel to skip to the next song in my playlist. Is this a limitation of the repeat setting?
Thanks for your help.

For a level 5 editor that is the worst response. Unspecific and simply unhelpful.
Perhaps your problem with me is because you have yet to undertsand how this support community works. (I'm referring also, to the other post you added to.) You need to take into account that my "level" does not indicate training by Apple, or anyone else. Nor is it a recognition by Apple of my abilities. That "level" has been gained because other users (which is what I am, a user of Apple products, just like you) have marked my response to their question as having been helpful or as solving their issue.
Frankly, I think you and I have got off on the wrong foot, and I suspect that wound will never be healed.
However, despite that...
If a song is being played on "repeat one", then selecting the "next" button will take it forward to the start of the next track/song, which is the track that has been playing. You've set it to repeat one, so that's what it will do. If it worked some other way in the past, then I suggest that was wrong - a bug - which Apple have now fixed.
So as far as I can see, there is no problem. If you believe I'm wrong, then let's hope one of the other more experienced contributors will jump in and correct me. That will be fine by me.
Alternatively, you can send Feedback to Apple by going to http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html .

Song doesn't play and skips to next song

I downloaded a song onto my Ipod from my computer and it plays perfectly on my computer but when I try to play it on my Ipod, it doesn't work and just skips straight to the next song on the playlist. I already tried to add it again but it still doesn't work. What should I do?

Have you tried resetting your iPod?
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Cannot skip to next song

I cannot skip to the next song in itunes. No matter which method I try the song simply stops playing.
mouse-clicking on the ff/skip virtual button stops current song.
controls menu next song stops current song.
smart key cmd rt arrow stops current song.
apple keyboard ff/skip button stops current song.
any ideas anybody?
please and thanks,
dt

I also am having the same issue. If I have a play list and hit the play button while in random once the first song is done itunes will stop. If I fiddle with it enough like jumping around to different tracks or restarting the app i can get it to work. I'm thinking it is a bug as it was not doing this before the last update. I have also notice the same issue on my iphone.
And yes all my songs have the check mark box on.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I just bought music on my iTunes account and the files did not download completely. The songs play for a minute or so then skips to next song.

Songs keep skipping to next song

I have a iPod nano 8gb. Why is it when i am listening to a song it jumps to the next song for three or more songs. What options do i have enable or disable.

I, too, am having this problem as of two updates ago. It' been like this for about two weeks now. Music stops, songs skip like I'm using an old CD player and went over a bump - just abruptly stopping/changing to the next song. I've also noticed VERY clear and sudden changes in song quality while streaming, it's a bit jarring.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm in the Phoenix, AZ area, and I'm using T-Mobile.
I have tried the following:
Restart phone
Clear data
Uninstall and reinstall
Lower streaming quality
I've noticed this seems to only happen on streamed songs.. downloaded ones are OK. Everything was fine until the update that changed the 'Your Music' section :(
Edit: Wifi works fine.. It seems to either be a) streaming over T-Mobile or b) how Spotify handles streaming/slow connections/whatever has changed in a recent update. Can past and future repliers include their mobile carrier to see if there's a trend?

Songs skips to next song before completing.

I have tried the 5 R's and deleting the songs that skip and reloading them to the IPOD Nano. Some songs play for a few seconds then skip to the next song. Other play about half way through. The songs play fine on the computer. Any suggestions?

iPod skipping songs?
For those of you who get zero playtime from songs (i.e. it doesn't even start the song before starting the next one) try this:
Resetting the iPod
and if that does not work, this:
Restoring the iPod
For those of you whose songs are skipping after getting partway through the song, two questions.
Did you rip these songs from CD's you own? If so, try reripping the affected songs.
Are the songs that are skipping iTMS store files? If so, we'd like to know the following, because there may be a problem with the song file:
1.) Song Name, Album, and Artist
2.) iPod Model (iPod mini [4 gig or 6 gig], iPod Nano [2 gig or 4 gig], iPod [size and generation])
3.) iPod firmware (this can be found under Extras>About>Version)
Thanks,

Itunes plays song for 10 seconds then skips to next song and so on....

Hey Everyone
I recently acquired a macbook (love it). However I have one issue, I imported all my music off my windows formatted ipod, and then formatted my Ipod for Mac. Everything plays fine, however I have one major issue. Some (not all) of the songs in itunes play for about 10 seconds and then jump to the next song. if I skip ahead past this 10 second barrier, the song plays fine . This happens on my itunes as well as my ipod.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

now when i play back in itunes (v10.6.1)
Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25?
