Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod repeat the same song over?  I can't get any playlists or albums to play...

Why does my iPhone 3G/iPod just play the same song over and over?  I cannot figure out how to get it to shuffle or play through an album or playlist...  It just started doing this randomly and it's very frustrating!

You have probably Repeat turned on.  See the top of p. 77 of the User Guide.

    Help. My ipod nano is stuck on repeat. It repeats the same song over and over and wont play songs on the same album consecutively. How do I fix this

    Hey cemccarty,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The option to turn off repeat will depend on your iPod nano model. Here is the information for the latest model, the iPod nano (7th generation):

  • DL'd the recent iTunes version and now shuffle repeats the same song over and over

    Shuffle IS on and it keeps repeating the same song over and over and over again.  I have over 200 songs in that particular playlist.  If I click on another song, it does the same thing.
    I saw someone else with a similar problem, and checked that shuffle is on correctly.  But when I click on the top to see what songs are coming next, it shows the same song repeated down the list.
    Also, it has stopped in the middle of a couple of songs and restarted the song just before freezing up on my computer.
    This upgrade *****.

    aye, so many people have done this!
    it's all in the manual though http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • My playlists will neither shuffle nor go from one to the next.  Instead it repeats the same song over

    My playsists will neither shuffle nor go from one song to the next.  Instead it replays the song selected.  Can this be fixed?  I have already rebooted the phone and it didn't change.

    In the Music app, after you select a playlist ans start playing a ong, note that on either side of the progress bar are arrow-like symbols. These control shuffle and repeat modes. Click on the one that has the arrows arranged in an oval. If it is blue, it's on; white means off.

  • Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs

    Why does my latest generation ipod nano spontaneously change songs and what can I do to control or prevent it?

    Seems logical and likely to fix it.  Have 3 locations where it was happening and will test and get you your ten points if all tests well.  Thanks.

  • My iphone 4 repeats the same song.

    My iphone 4 repeats the same song over and over again. No matter how I seleceted (either playlist or album or artist...)
    Also there is no scrollbar (timeline) and no button for repeat and shuffle as there used to be in the music player. Whats wrong - how can I change it back?
    Thx

    Hi again,
    I also tapped on the album cover - nothing happened.
    BUT after a hard reset (home + start button) this worked again. Timeline and options repeat and shuffle came back!!!
    I am a happy camper now... ;-)
    Take care

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    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.

    Because you have repeat on.  Turn it off.

  • Why does my iPhone 4GS bounce of the TV

    Why does my iPhone 4S bounce of the TV (not flatscreen, old thick Philips) when I put the iPhone on top of it? It happens after some time, perhaps 20 minutes. The phone bounces of the TV and lands on the floor. The TV is off!

    Hi,
    That sounds like attention seeking behaviour.
    Step over it and ignore the antics.
    When it behaves in the fashion you expect it is OK to pick it up and follow the normal nurturing you use.
    If you do respond to it you will soon find yourself planning a zip line from your upstairs bedroom to the kitchen, coupled with a refusal to get in your pocket when you are ready to leave the house.
