TS4124 playing songs in sequence in a playlist

in a Playlist - songs listed do not play in a sequence --

Hello ggmaxrpm
Check to make sure that you do not have shuffle turned on. Just tap the screen when you are playing music to bring up the additional control options. Then just make sure that the shuffle icon is not blue.

Do y have:
- Shake to shuffle turned on? Settings>Music
- Do you have shuffle turned on on the Now Playing screen? On that scree on the right side right below the scrubber bar is a crossed arrows icon. That is the Shuffle control. Tap till it is white for no shuffle.
Next:
- 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.

Itunes not playing songs in sequence

hi folks - recently moved my itunes folder because i was changing backup external drives, and now when i try to play my music itunes only allows me to play one song and then stops completely. when i try to press the forward button it does not work at all, ie it wont move to the next song, so i have to manaully click on the next song to make it play. another very curious thing is that on certain places in my music if i click on the forward button it will jump many albums and songs up to an album that i just copied into itunes, which is the only album that will play sequentially without me having to do it manually. anyone know what 's going on? i suspect i did something wrong when i moved the itunes folder but cannot figure out how to fix this problem. any suggestions are welcome, thanks much.

Sounds like when you moved the music you broke things. iTunes keeps a database on where your files are stored and what details each has (Title, album name, artwork, ratings, etc).
When you did your work, you likely effectively changed the path.
Open iTunes, open Preferences, select the Advanced tab. Look at the path set under "iTunes Media folder location". If it does not match the current location, click on "Change..." and set it appropriately.

ITunes stopped playing songs in sequence or in shuffle mode. Help!

I'm sure I've done something quite simple and stupid. Can anyone tell me how to restore? Thanks.

Sorry, let me clarify. I'm not shuffling the songs on the iPod, which would be a random order every time. I've created a paylist within iTunes of about 30 CD's, in which I've shuffled those songs in iTunes. So that playlist is the same list of songs everytime, even though I've shuffled them. That list will stay the same until I reshuffle within iTunes.

Is It Possible To Only Play Songs from Specific Playlist?

I got a new iPod Shuffle for Christmas and have put 2 playlists onto it. The 1st playlist is a running one and the 2nd playlist a general one.
Is it possible for me to play songs only from the running playlist when I am running. It currently is playing songs from both playlists?
Thanks

Yes. See this article for how to it manually.

ITunes won't play songs

Hi there,
I am new to this forum, so my apologies.
I recently re-installed my Vista system and I just installed iTunes version 7.3.2 and for some reason, none of the songs in the library or the playlists I have created are playing.
I synced with my iPod just fine, but nothing seems to play in the player itself. I haven't gone back to any previous versions yet, because I couldn't find it on the iTunes site, but I will google it if I have to.
Has anyone heard of iTunes not playing songs in their library or playlists?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm having the exact same error message (albeit for a different reason I think) so I really hope somone responds and can help us!
When I click on a song, I get the same error: "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Then when I click "Yes," it takes me to my iTunes folder, which has now for some reason been separated into two subfolders: "iTunes Music" and "Previous iTunes Libraries." It's as if all of my music imported prior to upgrading my iTunes (previous I had iTunes 4 or something ancient) has been moved into another folder. I've tried clicking all of the folders, but nothing makes the songs play.
Not sure if this could be related, but another recent issue is my external hard drive (where I copied my iTunes files from in the first place) has failed and is no longer being recognized by my computer.
Oh, and one more note...I read something in another post about deselecting the compatibility mode if you have problems post-upgrade, but I checked and it wasn't selected on my computer, so that's not it.
Hopefully between all these details someone can help both Peter and me discern the true problem - and the true solution! Thanks in advance for any and all help!
Cheers,
Amy

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

I have a number of playlists configured to play songs I haven't heard in a while. They then drop off the playlist once they've played. When I use my iPhone, however, the songs stay on the iPhone version of the playlist. Why aren't they syncing properly?

I don't like Apple's algorithm that constantly pushes the same songs at me, so I have a couple of playlists configured for songs I haven't listened to in a month, two months, etc. This has worked fine for years. Since I've gotten my iPhone 4S, however, things are goofy. The songs are marked as played and fall off of the playlist on iTunes, but they stay on the playlist on the iPhone, which means they come up again and again in the shuffle of that playlist. Even if I sync the iPhone the songs are still on the version of the playlist on the phone and I can't figure out a way to "refresh" that playlist and get rid of them. I know this is my own particular quirk about my music, but it's worked with every other iPod I've had. I don't know why the iPhone is holding on to a different version of the playlist than the one on iTunes. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
My iTunes is on a MacBook running Snow Leopard.

Lynn,
I had a very similar issue (same playlist). After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button). To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly. Good Luck.

When I press play on my iPod the only the thing that happens the songs cycle through the current playlist instead of playing the audio. How do I fix this?

Ever since this morning I synced my ipod to my computer all that happens is the ipod cycles through the songs in the current selected playlist. No audio or anything. All the songs that are in my song libraries and are synced to my ipod properly. I did not disconnect the cable whiile it was syncing. It has been a long time since I synced it. Why is my ipod doing this? This ipod is the current ipod classic with 160 GB. Please help

Thank you, when I meant by I haven't synced with my library in a long time. I meant the day before this morning. So I already synced it and I am not hearing any audio when I press play. Right now I am in front of a mac at my job and I have synced and ejected it from a different computer and it still isn't working. Does this have anything to do with the fact that it might have something to do with my music library at my home computer?

My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music. Is this a feature or a defect? I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

HT204406 I opened i Tunes on my mac and while i see the songs in some of my playlists they will not play. The computer says the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? When i do it won't play.

You will need to locate where you itunes library is and then relink one of the songs, itunes will do the rest. So if your itunes library is on an external hard drive or something like that. When you get the error message click yes you would like to locate it. then navigate to the external hard drive where the itunes libray is and locate that particular song. Once you have linked one, itunes will ask if you would like it to locate the rest, click yes and it will find the rest of the files if they are in the same location.

My PC is no longer permitting me to play tunes from my playlist library or even preview songs from the iTunes store. The diamond isn't even moving on the bar when I try to play songs. Any suggestions?

Missing: Adding the "Now Playing" song to a Playlist

I have a lot of songs but I want to manage my music by creating playlists on the go, so I purchased an iPod Touch and Stuffed in all my music to iTunes to sync to my iPod Touch. Done.
Just found out that you can NOT add the currently playing song to a playlist, new or existing. The easiest way to add the currently playing song, to a new or old playlist is to (This will be long), first, memories at least a few keywords of that currently playing song e.g. title, artist, or album, and then go to Playlist tab, select the playlist or add a playlist..., click on Edit, click on add song, search the song and add to Playlist, Click Done. Not easy.
I find this very time consuming. I expected to see iPod Touch have this as a very very basic feature.
My question: Is there a Product Enhancement Request already submitted about this? I had my iPod Touch with iOS 4 when I purchased it. Now I have iOS 5, no fix to this issue still.
It would be really really appeciated if Apple's Product Management Team could give us a heads up if this feature will ever be available.
Kindest Regards

I second that. I just use the "recently played" playlist as kind of a makeshift on-the-go playlist. But to create a playlist from scratch, they've GOT to make it easier than scrolling through thousands of songs. I just don't create playlists on the ipod touch/iphone anymore. I do it on iTunes and sync it to the device.
Maybe they think playlists are just too "old-school". They have "cutting-edge" features (no doubt to appeal the younger folks) like play a song by saying the song name, yet they don't give you a basic feature like on-the-go playlisting.

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play. Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.
