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.

    Because you have repeat on.  Turn it off.

    Why does my IPhone loss WIFI connection when I leave the room? When other mobile devices stay connected?
    I can not send text messages to other IPhones if I do not have wifi or 3G on, the texts are sent as emails.

    Hey Linders1987,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:

    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including
    - previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    - recently used Bluetooth accessories
    - VPN and APN settings

  • My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I quit itunes, and it keeps reopening.

    My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I pause the song, and it resumes it on its own again. I'm not joking. So, I end up quiting out of itunes; but, it starts right back up again on its own. After quiting out of the app a few times, it eventually stops reopening; however, about an hour later (or less) it opens again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP? I'm just about to delete itunes, because I've had enough of this crap. I hope someone can help. I've restarted the laptop, and it seemed like that fixed it, then itunes started up doing the same thing again an hour later. ituneshelper is unchecked; bluetooth is off; i only have speakers and a mouse plugged in (also charger).

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

  • Quicktime movie only has the first song in the play list. after export

    when I export an album to quicktime the quicktime movie only has the first song in the play list.  The slide show works in i photo with all songs in the playlist but the quicktime only takes the first song and repeats it over and over

    I used the garage band method to string the songs together.   Then used the mega song to play with my album. and it even exported to the quicktime movie.  Thanks for the post.

  • My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list.

    My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list even though it has several more podcasts in it. it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them. My older shuffle never had this problem. How can I solve this?

    Your older shuffle, if 1st or 2nd gen, did not have the ability to play from multiple playlist.  It was essentially just ONE playlist that you loaded manually using iTunes.  A very simple device.  With the new shuffle, it works more like the "bigger" iPods and you can load more than one playlist (so it is more complex), but if you select a specific playlist (using VoiceOver), it works like the old shuffle.
    My ipod shuffle only plays the first songs on the list even though it has several more podcasts in it.
    That is probably because you are playing songs from the All Songs list, instead of choosing a specific playlist using VoiceOver.  Podcasts do not play from the All Songs list.
    it only plays a series of podcasts instead of all of them.
    If you use VoiceOver to select a podcast, it only plays episodes from that particular podcast.
    Here's what you can do, to make it work like your old shuffle.  Create a new regular playlist in iTunes, and name it something like "iPod Podcasts" or whatever you want.  Treat that new playlist like your old shuffle.  Manually add the podcast episodes you want on the shuffle, in the order you want to hear them, on that playlist.  NOTE:  You can adjust the playlist order after adding the podcast episodes.
    Select the shuffle in iTunes.  You see a row of "tabs" (buttons) starting with Summary.  Click Podcasts there.  This is the Podcasts tab, where you set up how iTunes syncs podcasts.  Check the box for Sync Podcasts.  Below that, since you have a playlist with the podcasts you want on the shuffle, you only need to go to the list under Include Episodes from Playlists and checkmark that iPod Podcasts playlist.
    When you click Apply, the episodes on that playlist sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, to update the podcasts on the shuffle, update that iPod Podcasts playlist (add and remove episodes) in iTunes.  Then, the next time you connect the shuffle, iTunes automatically updates the shuffle with the same changes.  If the shuffle is already connected, click the Sync button to update.
    When using the shuffle, set the shuffle's power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position.  Podcasts are skipped on playlists, if the power switch is set to shuffle.  Use VoiceOver to switch to that iPod Podcasts playlist.  The podcast episodes should play in playlist order.
    NOTE:  You can load songs in the same way.  Create an "iPod Songs" playlist in iTunes, with the songs you want on the shuffle.  Go to the shuffle's Music tab, and select that playlist.  And audiobooks on the Books tab.  You can load as many playlists as you want.  The big advantage of the new shuffle is that you can have different types of content and keep them organized on separate playlists.
    Here's information about VoiceOver, in case it is not already set up.

  • My itunes is separating the first song from the rest of the album

    Can anyone help, my itunes separates the first song from the rest of the album so they apear as two separate things in itunes, very very annoying as it has only done it one some albums not all!!

    I was having this problem if I changed the name of an artist for an entire album from in grid view. This ended up changing the name successfully, but left me with the first track as a separate item in the grid. The solution suggested by bkpr worked for me; I entered the artist name into the album artist field, and saving this change merged the album back together. I could then remove the album artist entry without the album separating again. Thanks for the suggestio bkpr

  • HT5824 Why does my iPhone require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud??????????????

    Why does my iPhone 5 require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud???????

    It depends on your upload speed which is normally very slow.
    Subsequent backup should be a lot faster (incremental backup)

  • Zen Stone Plus Speaker. Browse music without starting the first song in the next fold

    Hi everyone,
    I'm not sure what I want is possible.
    I've had this player for about a?week now and I believe I could browse to the folders while listening to a song. For some reason when I do that now the player?start playing the first song of every folder when I browse through it.
    I'm starting to doubt if I remember it right that it was possible to browse through while listening to a song before?
    I tried playing with the setting and even did the recovery tool thing to put the player back at the setting it came with. But it didn't work.
    Anyone know if this is posible, and how?
    Thanks.

    Tag support: the ability to select music by album/artist/track instead of folders
    Display always on option - i know its to help save battery life but sometimes it would be helpful if the display stayed on
    Display artist and song name, inst4ead of just the song name/file name
    Alarm clock function: my Zen stone plus has a speaker, and a clock function. My Zen Xtra has a clock and an alarm clock function but no speaker other than headphones (if any are plugged in) for the alarm to sond through, the same is true with my visio:M? the Zen Stone plusw/speaker has a clock but no alarm, and if anything it would make a fantastic little alarm clock with a 'sound' to music or wsound to beep? function.

  • Import CD only importing about 1:30 of the first song of the album and skipping the rest...

    Import CD is only importing about 1:30 of the first song of all of my albums, and then none of the others - though it says they've been ripped (with the little green symbol next to the track name), the track time says "not available" in my library. I've tried to import over a dozen CDs, all the same. Any ideas? I've installed, un- and re- installed Itunes a bunch of times, tried older versions...

  • Why does my iPhone 3gs keep getting kicked off of the internet?

    When I start going onto the internet page the page comes on then as I amreading it it goes to black and back to the home page for the iphone.
    Why does this happen?

    Mine does that too. I was wondering if it was due to the OS and that sometimes its too much for the 3GS. I've had mine almost 3 years.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable will help. :)
    (i finally upgraded to the iPhone 5 so I'm looking forward to that!)
