Songs not playing sequentailly

After installing iTunes 5 upgrade, I cannot play songs sequentially, repeat songs or repeat all songs in a play list. The repeat button has not affect at all. Anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks

If the songs play in iTunes on the computer:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Songs not playing in iTunes 7

Since I downloaded the new iTunes 7, I cannot play any songs in my library, or on disc. I could with the old version. Does anyone know what is different about version 7 which could be creating this problem?

Its working!!! I did everything in the "frequently asked questions" reply re songs not playing - nothing seemed to work until I restarted my computer. Now its fine.

Upgraded to IOS5, now music doesnt work right, displayed song not playing, plays 3,4 songs then stops although is appears to be playing. Help

upgraded to IOS5, now music not working right. displayed song not playing, plays 4,5 songs and stops although it appears that it is playing. Cycled pwr,didn't work. tried resyncing, same thing.Help?

I have an iPhone 4 and ever since I upgraded to iOS5 i've got the same problem. Apple need to release a patch as there's no way of fixing this unless we downgrade our phones back to iOS4 which would just suck!
I often shut the music app down and start again but even then the artwork doesn't match the song playing and will only play a few songs. It's frustrating when you're driving or going for a run, having to pull over or stop and sort it out.
We'll have to wait for Apple to bring out a patch unfortunately.

Full protected or purchased songs not playing

full protected or purchased songs not playing all the way through.

I have deleted them and re downloaded and they still do not work!!

In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack. Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones. Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons? Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds. Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons. It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation. Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings. If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem. If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

Songs not playing on iPod Touch

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5. I had trouble with apps but they are fixed now. My problem now is music. It retained my data but some songs won't play. I didn't buy them on iTunes - they are from an older library when I didn't have iTunes. Now it just plays the next song and it's very irritating. They play on my computer and I haven't changed the file location. Any tips?

Not sure if your issue is the same I had: not playing tunes, playing the wrong tune, skipping ahead several tunes, selected song and playing song not matching. Here was my fix:
Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Songs not playing properly on 3rd gen iPod (click wheel)

I have a large amount of songs on my iTunes and iPod, and I often buy new music (from sources other than iTunes) to add to me collection. After updating my iPod last night to add a new album that I purchased, I noticed today that certain songs on my iPod would not play properly. When they come up in the cue or are selected to play manually, they appear on the screen, stay at "0:00 elapsed" for a second or two, then the iPod simply switches to the next cued song, as if this song has come to an end. If it's the only song in the cue, the iPod reverts to the general Menu screen.
I checked my iTunes to see that the songs were still in my library and that I did not move or delete the source. None of the affected songs had the "This song cannot be found" exclamation point next to them, and they all played fine on my computer through iTunes, but they simply wouldn't work on the iPod. I updated my iPod tonight in hopes that the mistake would correct itself, but nothing's happened.
Since this is a rare problem, I haven't been able to find any FAQs or solutions regarding it. I hope someone has the answer.
Thanks for your time.

I have the exact same thing happening. I just bought the new Foo Fighters album, the songs play on iTunes, but will not play on my iPod. I have updated my iTunes and iPod to try to get it to play with no success. With the iPod in the sourcelist, I can play the songs from the iPod music list, but not once the iPod is undocked from my PC the song titles come up for a brief second then skip to the next song on the album without ever playing any audio. I even tried to delete the album and reload it. Never had this happen with any other songs, artists, etc.

4 albums purchased from iTunes yesterday have songs not playing all the way through. They play for a period of time and skip to the next song. Everytime they are played. Can anyone help?

Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine then it sometimes freezes up or start shuffling through the songs not playing at all. After i reset it works ok for a while then same thing. Bought this so i could control through my steering wheel/radio.

I sure hope someone can help me with these ipod classic 160gb issues.
My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine and then freeze up (unable to move around in it at all) and i have to reset it. This happens constantly whether in my car or when i listen at work. After i reset it works ok for a while then eventually requires another reset.
Another problem is that it will be playing fine and then start shuffling through songs without playing them. The songs that get shuffled work fine in the itunes program but not on the device. A reset does not correct the problem with these particular songs.
Also, sometimes when it is working and not freezing up or shuffling through, it will appear that a song is playing (in fact it says "now playing"), the song titlte is scrolling, but the song progression bar does not move. The count up in front of the bar stays at 0:00, and the count down at the end of the bar stays at the song length minutes not counting down. After I reset, it works fine and all the songs will play.
The reason I got this thing was because i can control it through my steering wheel/radio while i'm driving. I previously had a Zune 80gb which i'm glad I held on to. I have over 6600 songs (so I'm obviously a serious music listener and obviously frustrated), but only about 10 songs were downloaded through itunes, the rest I either ripped or downloaded from other site. From what i've been reading it sounds like there's a lot of ipod owners out there experiencing similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve these issues for me and everyone else? I got my first iphone 8 months ago, then the ipod and was considering an ipad. But in light of my ipod issues.....
I hope someone can help me and convince me it wasn't a mistake to go Apple! Thanks!!

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Songs not playing complete in itunes

I have songs in itunes that are complete but only a short piece of them play? Once transfered to my ipod, the short piece is all that plays as well?
Help

I was having a similar problem in that nothing would happen when I selected some of my songs to play. The file was in the itunes music folder, and all the info was correct but it would not play. Finally, I had to copy the songs which would not play to a DVD, remove the DVD from the drive and restart iTunes. Then when I selected the same songs to play I got the message that the "song was not available, did I want to locate it." I selected "yes", reinsterted the DVD and browsed to the song. After reimporting each of the songs I selected "Consolidate the library" to copy all the songs back into the itunes music folder.
This is definitely a time consuming process but at least now all my songs play. Also, I am backing up my library to a new set of DVD's because I want to be sure to have all of my music backed up.
Hope this helps.

After updating, Radiohead TKOL songs not playing correctly

I downloaded Radiohead's The King Of Limbs album from Radiohead's site back when they first released the album. iTunes never had any problem playing these files before. Now, however, the sound is just all screeches. I was just listening to these songs recently, so my only guess is that the recent update did something.
Additional info:
As far as I can tell, all my other music still plays in iTunes just fine.
Windows Media Player is still playing TKOL just fine, so it's not a problem with the files, just iTunes.

I have the exact same thing happening. I just bought the new Foo Fighters album, the songs play on iTunes, but will not play on my iPod. I have updated my iTunes and iPod to try to get it to play with no success. With the iPod in the sourcelist, I can play the songs from the iPod music list, but not once the iPod is undocked from my PC the song titles come up for a brief second then skip to the next song on the album without ever playing any audio. I even tried to delete the album and reload it. Never had this happen with any other songs, artists, etc.

Songs not playing because not located by itunes

You deleted the songs from your computer? >.> How do you expect them to play if you deleted them?

Songs not playing in iTunes9 and no sound on computer in general

After doing the ITunes 9 upgrade when I click on a song it will not play. There is no movement in the progress bar for each song.
Also when trying to get media files to play on VLC or Quicktime there is no sound either.
Some help would be great.
Much thanks

Same Problem here PumpkinLane...Songs don't play (progress) - Previews in ITunes store don't play...but all other songs and video (non Apple related) play just fine.
Wow...It's pretty frustrating to see this has been outstanding since APRIL and Apple still hasn't responded. Trying to go the route of "SUPPORT" requires you to select hardware - which doesn't work for something just relating to iTunes. (I don't have a MAC and it's not a problem with my iPhone - duh!)
I had this problem upgrading to 9.02. I have three other computers with iTunes - all upgraded, with no problem with the playing.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes - no change.
I have also followed the instructions in the support article: support.apple.com/kb/ht2292 - which took several hours as I tediously clicked through each program to try to isolate. Still no change.
Apple support - can you please reply?

Songs not playing in entirty

I have experieced this for quite some time, and it's really annoying. Some songs will play about half way through then some other random song will start playing. The album art, name, etc still show the original song, but it's not that song that's playing. I've deleted all my music from my phone and tried to redownload from itunes match but no luck. It's not even the same song that plays each time so it's not a corrupt music file in the cloud. It's intermittent too, some songs play all the way through, while other's don't. Also the same song plays fine in iTunes on my Windoze PC, but both my iPad and iPhone play part way through then someother song comes on.
Here's what I have tried.
Turned off iMatch then deleted all the songs on my iPhone/iPad. Turned iMatch back on and re-download song, issue still occured. I had problems on my iPhone 4 getting iMatch to redownload and show my files so I also found these instructions, which seemed to work to get iMatch to re-download my music again. However after doing this and re-downloading the song, it still was cut off.
1. connect iPhone, open iExplorer
2. navigated to iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control\iTunes
3. copied these 3 files to my desktop:
          MediaLibrary.sqllitedb
          MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-shm
          MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-wal
4. deleted the same 3 files from my iPhone
5. performed a hard reboot on my iPhone (home button + sleep/wake button, hold until you see the apple logo)
The reboot forced iOS to recreate the 3 MediaLibrary files. After this, I was able to turn iTunes Match on and my entire library showed up on the iPhone. I am able to redownload tracks as needed now.
This seems like an issue with iMatch, but if there's a file I can delete on my iPhone/iPad and have it correct the issue that would be great!

I just noticed it's not random what song is played when the original song is cut off. It's the next song in the playlist it seems. But then when it goes to the next track it still can get a bit confused.

Songs not playing in itunes

I recently upgraded to iTunes 7.5 and whenever I attempt to play music nothing will play. Music in my library, podcasts, shared libraries, and itunes store previews will not play. I have tried restarting my computer and reinstalling intunes, but nothing will work. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Yo, same problem.
So nothing was playing on itunes, songs just sat there idle at 0:00, videos played but with no audio. I couldn't even get my normal audio controls to go up or down, it just acted like it was locked. I went into system preferences - audio and all the audio was locked. Although i was getting my chime and trash sound. So i went into Audio MIDI Setup and it turns out my default output was set to unknown, so I changed it back to built in. So now my audio is unlocked, itunes videos play with audio, i can even play songs from my itunes music library IF i access them through finder, BUT THEY STILL WONT PLAY THROUGH ITUNES also itunes store previews won't play
Anyone?
