Why does the replay function repeat the same songs?

I like to start playing music from the locked screen and I always keep shuffle by song turned on .  I double click the home button and then press play as instructed.  More often than not though, it starts playing some song I have listened to recently and it then plays through the same "shuffled" songs from before in the same order.  When I am running arrands and listening in the car for just a few songs at a time, I end up listening to the same three songs over and over unless I open the music app and reselect shuffle songs.  It didnt used to do this, just after the iOS6 update.  Anyone else have this problem?  Anyone know how to fix it?  Or is this a programming issue I hope Apple changes?
In the same vein, if you have watched a video from your photo album recently and then do the same quick start music from the locked screen, you dont get music, you get the sound only from that video you watched.  Why would Apple program it to do that?  Why would we want to quick start the sound of a video when we intend to listen to music?

I can change iCloud mail settings on my Mac, but do not have the same access within the app on the iPad.
I will keep looking for a way to change the settings on the iPad, but in the mean time, set mail settings to ask before deleting.

  • Why does the same song apear as $0.99 and $1.29?

    Why does the same song appear more than once and costs either $0.99 or $1.29?

    Sometimes the exact same song will have two different prices when it appears on two different albums.
    For one of many examples, "Concrete Angel" is 99 cents when it's on "Greatest Hits":
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/greatest-hits/id256344266
    But it is $1.29 when it is on the album "Hits and More":
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hits-and-more/id492676107
    The reason is not obvious, but feel free to buy the cheaper one.

  • Why does the same song keep replaying on my iPhone?

    My music on my iPhone replays the same song over and over until I tap the forward button, even though i have it set to shuffle songs. What do I need to do to have it automatically advance to the next song? (It only started having this problem about a week ago; before then it worked properly.)

    Did you check to make sure the Repeat button wasn't turned on?  To do this, while the song is playing tap the screen (cover art) to reveal the additional controls (see image below).  Then tap the Repeat button until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

  • Why does the same photo appear in every iphoto album?

    Why does the same photo appear in every album? Clicking on it makes other pictures appear?

    Backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option an command keys, launch iPhoto and from the resulting first aid window rebuild your thumbnails. This may take several trys
    If it does not fix the issue then repeat and rebuild your database

  • Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

    Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another??  I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker.  I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too.  I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated!
    Anne

    You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
    Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
    Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
    Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut).  I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
    Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
    Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
    To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
    Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.

  • "Why Does The Shuffle Songs Feature Perform So Poorly?"

    How'dee,
    I have an iPod 160G Classic, I've spent the last 3 months taking my 2,247 "Owned" cd's (I'm a retired dj), an ripped them with identical settings and transfered them flawlessly onto my iPod. I now have a total of 26,311 tracks on my iPod. "FWI"- I tranfered each "Complete" album, no individual tracks... I had been looking forward to being able to Shuffle through my music and not actually listening to individual ablums at a time. I work as a security guard and I am able/allowed to use my iPod via my Bose dock.
    I have been listening to my iPod in Shuffle Mode for 3 full weeks now and I am finding that I'm continually listening to the same 30 or so albums out of the full 2,247 that are on my iPod, sometimes it will actually play a song from a perticular album and then play Another track from that same album within the next 10 - 15 tracks!
    In the end I'm hearing One New Track that I haven't heard yet every 15 - 20 or so tracks while at the same time I'm hearing tracks from the same albums and or groups throughout the 15 - 20 tracks that have played... As an example, I have 4 albums from the group KISS, I hear tracks from those 4 albums atleast 3 - 5 times every day - day & half... Why does the Shuffle Mode work so poorly? I can't see for the life of me why the so-called "Shuffle Mode" doesn't Shuffle through "ALL" of the 2,247 tracks that are on the iPod.
    I've even gone as far as to use a cable to plug my iPod into a regular radio allowing me "Not" to charge my iPod until the battery is almost dead, allowing it to play continuously for my entire 8 hour shift in Shuffle Mode. And then just resume the next shift for another 8 hours, again, until the battery is almost dead. I've gotten around 35+ hours per charge over the last 2 weeks.
    "My whole reason for spending $350. on this iPod was so that I could listen to my album collection as though I were listening to a radio... shuffling through "All" of my tracks. I'm now sitting here kicking myself in the a$$ for seemingly wasting my money..."
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    And just to let it be known, I have attempted to play tracks manually just to see if they are even workable transfers and I haven't come across any problems with the music that I put on the iPod.
    The ToxicOne...

    It is true - "random" does not mean that you should not hear two songs from the same album (or artist) in close proximity. However, as the number of albums increases, the likelihood of hearing multiple (sometimes three or four) cuts from the same album decreases. And the chances of this happening EVERY time a new shuffle is started is even less likely. Comparing flipping a coin (a 0.5 probability of any given result) to a library with over 2000 albums (a .0005 probability of a track from any given album) is comparing apples to oranges. Also, given one of the posts above which indicated hearing the same *progression of songs* indicates that the mathematical algorithm used by Apple to simulate randomness (as there is no such thing as true randomness in computer programming) is just not up to snuff.

  • Why does the same pdf sometimes open in Photoshop with a white bkgd and sometimes transparent?

    I am opening the same pdf file on two different computers with the same version of photoshop.  Why does it open with a transparent background on one computer and a white background on the other?  Is there any way to force it to open with a transparent background?  Thanks.
    Loni

    You have different versions of the shared PDF libraries on the different systems and/or different settings on PDF handling, most likely. This can affect transparency. The PDF libraries are shared between Adobe apps, so this may be dependent on anotehr program having changed something in that area...

  • Why does the same collection keep doing soft pulls on my credit

    I have 2 soft pulls from the same collection. I don't want to call them and they are located in florida. I am located in CT. most of my previous collections were either from NY or CT. why don't they just call or mail me the bill to my house. I am also afraid to call because since they are doing soft pulls it might be a huge bill. The dates of the soft pulls are in Sept 2013 and Dec 2014. All this info came from annual credit report .com

    Portfolio Recovery has been doing soft pulls on me at least 3-4 times a year for a debt from 2002(way outside the SOL.)  I'm not too concerned.  About once a quarter, they send me a settlement letter and I usually get a phone call every 6 months.  I've contemplated a couple times about settling with them (it's only $120ish) but then I think back to all the illegal crap they pulled and harassment I endured and just decided to say screw it.  Since it's out of the SOL, there isn't much they can do.  They can keep doing soft pulls and sending letters and I can keep putting them in the shred pile.Portfolio started soft pulling my file in May when I applied for a few cards. Since that date they soft pulled me almost every other day for two weeks straight. The last time I pulled a full report they were still doing soft pulls, though not as frequently. I haven't dealt with PRA in many years and panicked at first. But I have received no phone calls and no letters. So, I'll just let it be for now I guess. I have no collections. I honestly don't know what accounts they are collecting on. I find it annoying so perhaps I'll contact them at some point.

  • Why does the same clip play differently each time I play it?

    Playing a flash animation clip in Adobe Media Player plays differently each time I play it.  I'm looking at animation we made that has a left to right move.  Sometimes it plays smoothly, other times it stutters, but the stutters happen at different points each time I play it, and the amount of stuttering changes each time I play it.  I'm trying to decide if the file is acceptable to post on the web, so I'm playing the same 34 second file from my hard drive, each time in succession, yet each play is different.  Boy, if you can help me with this I would sure appreciate it, as it is driving me crazy.  (The same thing happens on other flash players).  And no, the file isn't haunted...

    Hello and thank you for trying to help me out. When I click on the itunes icon on my desktop, it does the preparing to install.... on my laptop, when I click on the icon, itunes opens automatically. I really can't figure out why one does this and the other does not.
    Apparently, I was not having trouble connecting to the itunes store like I thought. Many other people complain of the same problem I had---the connecting to the itunes store progress bar goes halfway, stops, and then all I see is a blank white page that says itunes store. Well, after playing around, and clicking on VIEW and SHOW sidebar browser, I was able to see the itunes store! Yay!! It was so simple, it was unreal that so many people are having the same problem I thought I was having, connecting, when all that was was a VIEW issue.
    As far as my desktop doing the preparing to install, I don't get it. I have uninstalled itunes9 and redownloaded it, reinstalled it. Same problem. Preparing to install. No matter what itunes icon I click on, or even if I click ont he application itself from it's folder. Any ideas?
    So just forget about my connection problem---it was not a problem after all. Yet one pc does preparing to install when the itunes icon is clicked on, and the other pc does not. Both are running windows vista home premium. One is a desktop, one a laptop. I can't figure it out.

  • Why does the same genre appear multiple times in my iPhone 6 music library?

    I am currently running on iOS8. All software on my iPhone 6 is up to date. I have tried restarting with no change. There are many instances that I see online of people who are having this same problem, only it applies to specific music albums. Not an entire genre. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this? My last ditch effort will probably be a factory reset.

    I have the same situation.  It seems to happen with the first two or three genre's.  Even manually created ones that I've made.  It also seems to be related to having a mixture of song's under that genre that are either uploaded  (from a CD) and downloaded from iTunes.
    I had one artist that all albums were upload from a CD except one.  If I add all the CD albums the genre only appears once.  As soon as I add the album from iTunes the genre appears twice.  And vice-versa.  The particular genre is one that I made, but it happens with predefined iTunes genre's as well.
    Please fix it apple.

  • Why does the same page freeze on both ipad and iphone, but I can go to an android and it works perfectly

    I have an ipad 3rd generation 64 and iphone 5. both operating on ios 8.1.1. The problem is when I attempt to submit an order to avon, it freezes. I can fill in the numbers for the orders but only to the point of SUBMIT ORDER. I can't even log off the page..I can go through the whole process on an android phone perfectly. I don't understand why it freezes at that point.Is it safari causing  this problem? I have cleared history and website data. Restarted the devices to no avail..Probably started when updated at ios 8... believe it run ok on ios7...Any solutions to this problem will be greatly appreciated.....THX

    To add to Arron's question. I have also updated my IPhone4 with the IOS 5 and ICloud. The photo albums I had on my phone are now gone and I have recieved an email from ICloud that my storage is nearly full. When I try to access photo stream it indictes no photos. What happened to my photo albums and how do I access what is being stored.

  • I just started several different addresses why does the same email appear in every address

    Just started using Thunderbird and now need several addresses. The top one is my main address but every email to that one appears in all the others as well.
    I am sure the program should be able to deal with this.
    Keep up the excellent work

    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.

  • 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.
