When playing music through iTunes, it no longer starts at a random song.

I have it set to shuffle and it used to start with a random song.  Now, it always starts with the first song in my library. I prefer the random start, but after the last update, it no longer does it.  Can I change this in a setting or something??

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • When playing music in itunes, music stops when screen shuts down

    I am using Windows Vista, when the screen shuts down for power saving. The song playing will continue, but the next one will not begin. This is when I am just playing music through itunes on computer. Can anyone help?
    Many thanks

    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the audio when nothing is playing in iTunes on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

  • Music speeds up when playing music in itunes!

    hi everyone,
    i recently bought a creative xmod and when i play music through itunes now the music speeds up to an insane speed, does anyone know how to fix this? i couldn't find any help on the creative tech support but i sae that others had this problem.thanks.

    First thing is try playing back one of your music files with, say, Quicktime (just browse to the file in Finder, right-click or ctrl-click and choose "open with Quicktime").
    If the music plays back normally then your issue is with iTunes and is not hardware related.

    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.

  • Trouble playing music through iTunes

    A problem has recently occurred with regards to playing music through iTunes. Whenever a song reaches around the half-way mark, it suddenly starts slowing down and becomes riddled with crackles. This only started last night, and is the first time I've ever had this problem. Does anyone know what the problem, and how to rectify it?

    Does this happen in other programs? Have you tried updating your soundcard drivers?

  • HT4628 My airport seems not to be working anymore. I have internet but now I can't play music through Itunes remotely. Airport kept flashing amber. Now I have tried to reset it it only flashes briefly amber and then no more light and it seems disconnected

    Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

  • When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    When playing music on my iPhone 4S, it keeps repeating the same song, even though it is set at Shuffle.

    Make sure you don't have Repeat turned on.  While the song is playing, tap the screen (cover art) if necessary to bring up the extended music controls (see image below).  Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (which is off).

  • Bleeping/Glitches when playing music in iTunes

    Hi,
    Just the last couple of days i have noticed when i am playing music from iTunes on my 15" Mid 2010 Macbook Pro, I am getting intermittent digital noises like bleeping and weird audio glitches.
    It is almost like an 8 bit type song which are so popular these days!
    Now i know its not the encoding of the music as its happening on all different tracks when listening on random. It is also happening when i listen on headphones, through speakers connected through jack or through the built in speakers.
    At present it is intermittent and will get progresively worse during a song and then I could skip and it will stop again.
    I have never ex[erience anything like this before with an apple product. At present i am not seeing any visual glicthes when watching video and the laptop does not appear to be acting up in any other way, which hopefully means its not a logic board issue.
    Anybody ever heard of or experienced this before? Can anybody help out?
    The laptop is obviously not under warranty anymore otherwise i would just take it in, but at present i'm hoping i can diagnose and sort the problem with the aid of the the internet!
    Any help/suggestions much appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Music Stutter when playing music in itunes

    My music stutters when I scroll or do something in another application when I am playing music in itunes at the same time. They have updated itunes since it started but it didn't fix the problem, in fact I think they made it worse.

    Sandy,
    Go to this post and 'View All':
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68ba4951
    Read through the process I went through to find and correct my playback hang (actually it was a system-wide periodic freeze). Don't bother with the related links yet (or b's threadjacks for my attention). Just use it to spark some thoughts and to develop a mind-set that may lead you to your issue.
    In the end, I feel I got lucky, rather than good, in finding my problem. Even though I made some quick assumptions, I was always ready to test and discard them just as quickly.
    If you have really gone through everything on these Discussions, you are left with self-diagnosis of your system, or a step-wise reinstall, testing iTunes out along every step of the way (ouch).

  • No sound when playing music through dock with third party apps

    Hello,
    When I try to play music on my Iphone (3G, OS 3) through dock connected external speaker devices (like the B&W Zeppelin) using third party apps, i get no sound at all. Example of external third party apps are : wifi radios, alarm-clock programs, video viewers,...
    So i get no sound at all through the dock connector using that kind of apps. Sound is ok only with Ipod, Itune (or other apple apps).
    Has anyone encountered similar problems ? Any solution would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have done that from the first day (contacting the makers of 3rd party apps)- They say they use standard components provided by Apple. So I would like to know if anybody has succeded in listening, for example, any internet radio app though a dock station connection (zeppelin, or whatever speaker system that is not using the jack), or is this functionnaly actually blocked by Apple.
    Thanks for your answers.

  • Cannot play music through Itunes on work computer

    This has worked in the past but for some reason today it isn't working. I have Itunes on my home PC and that is what I sync my Ipod to. I also have it at work just so I can listen to my music through my laptop. When I hook it up to my laptop it flashes the Do not disconnect message forever, doesnt go away. I can eject the Ipod and listen to it fine through the Ipod but I cannot get it to play songs on the laptop. They all show up but are greyed out and I cannot click on them to play. The Ipod shows up in Itunes, says nothing about Updating Ipod like it normally does when it is updating. Any idea how to fix this?

    Yep! At the bottom of the iTunes window there's a button with an iPod icon on it. Press it and it'll being you to the iPod preferences window. Select the manual update option and select ok (to the pop-up window and to exit the preferences window). The songs won't be greyed out anymore, just remember to set it back to automatic update when you go home. Hope that helps.

  • Playing music through iTunes on AirPort Express

    I have the following configuration:
    Airport Express (AX) ver 6.3 firmware
    iTunes 7.1.1
    Airport Admin Utility ver 4.1
    Linksys WRV200 wireless router - all wired and wireless computers connect to Internet and LAN here.
    My AX is configured to join my existing wireless network.
    I want to play music from any computer on my network-wired or wireless via iTunes and AX.
    Up until 2 months ago, I was able to play music to my AX from any wired or wireless computer on my network. I'm not sure that anything has changed with my configuration but now I can only see the AX in iTunes on wireless computers. When use the AirPort admin utility on a wired computer, I cannot see the AX in the base station chooser window but I can choose "other" and manually enter in the AX IP address and password and connect to the AX and configure the AX from the wired computer.
    I have the AX configured to enable airtunes over ethernet and have all iTunes clients configured to look for remote speakers. Can any one help here?

    Swipe from the bottom and a window will come up with the airplay option

  • Do I need my PC turned on when playing music through AppleTV?

    I got all the settings and can see my music library on my new Apple TV. However, when My PC is turned off the library music disappears. Is this normal? Does this new apple TV have a hard drive storage inside?

    The ATV 1 has an internal hard drive to store your audio and video files locally on the unit. The ATV 2 has no such storage capabilities. So you cannot store music, movies or photos on it as you could on the ATV 1.
    What would be really nice is if the ATV 2 allowed for an external drive so if you wanted to store files locally, you could. I like being able to play my music through the ATV without turning on any computers. It will be a sad day when the ATV 1 I have finally dies.

  • Windows crashs when playing music with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iTunes. Since last week my Windows crashes when I start to listen to music over iTunes. I have already tried to re install Windows and have updated all the drivers for my hardware but there has still nothing changed.
    When I'm updating my iPod with iTunes there is no problem. It only crashes when I started to listen to music with iTunes. I can still listen to music over other music programs like Winamp.
    Can anybody help me?... or does anybody know what the reason could be for that?

    hi Simon!
    I have a problem with my iTunes. Since last week my Windows crashes when I start to listen to music over iTunes.
    are you getting a blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it?
    if you don't see a blue screen (or just get a flash of a blue screen), use Jonathan's technique to display any hidden ones:
