Why does it skip to to the next song

My iPhone 5 sometimes decide to skip to the next song. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Do you have shake to shuffle turned on?

    Because you have repeat on.  Turn it off.

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.

    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

    Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
    I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
    When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
    I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
    Thoughts?

    When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!

  • Why does my Mac auto-select the next few words or even sentences after i select and delete a batch of text?

    For instance, if i were to select the next seven words and then over-write or delete them, the next few words would automatically become selected and, because i'm already typing, i would over-write them as well.  The more words that i initially select, the more words become selected after i hit delete.  You can imagine how annoying this might be when i decide to chuck an entire paragraph, select it, begin to over-write, and then realise that i've just over-written most of the next paragraph and part of the previous.
    This can't possibly be a feature so i don't what option i might have chosen that would've prompted this kind of behaviour from my Mac.  It's done it intermittently over the last year that i've owned it.  It usually begins after an edit or two within a given document or email.  Once it begins, it doesn't stop, it just gets worse.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

  • When I try to pause my music on the lock screen it does not pause. I also can not skip on to the next song. Is there a way t change this?

    It even does this when I pull up that multitasking tool, it doesn't pause there either.

    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.
    - 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:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • Why does my iphone 4s play the first song in the library everytime I unplug it and plug it back into my stereo?

    I did the ios7 update and everything is cool except for this issue. If I choose an album or artist to listen to, and then plug the iphone into my car stereo usb input, it starts at the song that is alphabeticaly first in the library. Is there any way to fix this?

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.

  • Ipod skips to middle of next song instead of the start

    when my ipod moves to the next song at the end of the previous song, or is skipped forward to the next song, it will sometimes start playing the next song either 30 seconds or sometimes over a minue into the song. This seems to be happening when it is on shuffle. I've tried resetting it but its still happening. Any suggestions? Its only a couple of weeks old (and happens to be a warranty replacement for my last 5th gen ipod who's headphone jack didn't work properly). Have i been given a dud?

    Hello all... i was having a horrible issue with my iPhone seemingly shuffling at random. So frustrating until I turned off the "shake to shuffle" option... I think most new iPods and iPhones have this feature in settings... good luck.

  • HT203167 I bought a song on Itunes yesterday.  It appears that all of it downloaded, but about half-way through the song the computer skips to the next song.  No problems with other downloads.  What do i do?

    I bought several songs from the the Itunes Store.  All seemed to download, but one song will play only about half-way through, and then skips on to the next song.  This happens on my laptop and my IPOD.  What do i do?

  • Some of my songs on my iTunes are stopping towards the end and going to the next song. It won't play those specific songs the entire way through.

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro and transfered my entire library to my new laptop. Itunes was working fine until I started to notice that certain songs won't play the entire way through. It'll stop at like 1:43 or another random time and skip right to the next song. I know I definitely bought some of these songs off of iTunes, and I really don't want to repurchase them. I don' understand why this would even be happening because they played fine on my old computer! Is there any way I can get them to play all the way through again!?

  • Why aren't some songs I've purchased through i-tunes not playing to their entirety and just skipping to the next song in my library?

    Hey guys. I'm hoping someone can please help me with this issue as I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my situation. I just recently purchased an i-Phone 4S and have been solely purchasing songs for it through the i-tunes store. For some reason though, I've been noticing that for multiple songs (this is currently still happening with random songs that I download from the store) that it will not allow me to play the entire song. One song that I download "Let me love you" by Ne-Yo will only play until right around the two-minute mark before it completly cuts off and continues to the next song. I've tried deleting the songs that this occurs with and re-downloading them, but this fails to work. I simply want to be able to listen to my songs in their entirety or there is no point in purchasing the songs through the store. Someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Windows Vista on my Toshiba Satellite M305D-S4840 and have i-tunes 5.1.1 if that helps.

    I am having a similar problem, only all my old songs that I have purchased and some songs from cd's are playing about 2/3 of the way then skipping to next song. I just transferred all of my music back to my computer. The last songs I purchased are playing just fine. This song skipping carries over to my iPod that I restored last night as well. I am glad (but not glad) to know others are having similar issues.
    I hope this can be resolved.
    Updating to iTunes 10.7.0.21 does not fix this problem by the way...tried this earlier.

    A not uncommon problem.  See this previous discussion.

  • So ive downloaded a few songs recently, and for some reason they play about 4-5 second or half way through then skip to the next song. Why is this?

    I dont know why this would happen. Its happened to a few songs. i pay the full price for them and when i go to play them, they skip to the next song shortly after. Please help.

    If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
    The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
    Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

  • Why do my songs skip to the next song mid way through the song?

    why do my songs skip to the next song mid way through the song?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

    i'm just wondering:
    a) why it does this
    and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/
