why doesn't my ipod nano, 6th generation advance to the next song while playing. i have to manually advance it to hear the next song. .This is a nex nano, 6th gen that apple just sent me because of possible battery issues in the nano, 1st gen.

Hi lauraleeu,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod nano isn't advancing to the next track, this article is a good starting point for troubleshooting:

I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

After updating my Ipod with IOS 5, some of my music no longer plays. Album cover is shown, but the IPod skips to the next song. Any ideas why?

A not uncommon problem. See this previous discussion.

My IPod will not automatically advance to the next song.

IPod will not automatically advance to the next song. I have updated and restored. The Shuffle has the two arrows crossing which I believe means it should be advancing. Any suggestions?

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat (the right hand side features the Shuffle feature). You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't, tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?

I had this issue with my 6th generation nano. It was driving me nuts, until I realized that somehow locked the repeat button on. Selecting one song rather than a selection will cause whatever song you have selected to play over and over and over and over..

My ipod wont advance to the next song on its own

When a song plays, it won't advance to the next song unless I manually click on the next song. I want to be able to have the whole album play without haveing to click on next songs. Thanks for your help

Have you double checked to make sure the repeat setting has not been enabled? If it's a 5G Nano, you do from with the Settings menu. If it's a 6G Nano, you can do it from the Now Playing screen.

I cannot get my text to advance to the next line when hitting enter???

When I open Keyboard Shortcuts, the name field under Set: is highlighted in dark blue. I cannot type a name in it. The button NEW SET remains ungray. When I click on the button no change happens to allow me to create new set.
I also noticed that I am unable to scroll down in the InDesign document using scroll off mouse.
So I have to click and drag to get around not using the up/down arrows when moving the illustrations.
If I have to enter text I will use storybook.
If I have to delete text I will use the InDesign document.
Very limited with the functionality - I was better off using Adobe InDesign 2.0!
Will need more time to investigate why the keyboard and mouse are not being recognized. At this time I will have to use the work-arounds to meet deadlines and revisit later.

The nano advances to the next song in the middle of a current song.

My nano (refurbished) will (in the middle of a song) suddenly advance to the next song. What can be done to get the nano to play a song completely before advancing to the next song?

Does it do this for every song, or just some? I had this problem with DRM-protected iTunes purchases (file name ends in .m4p). If this is your problem, I might be able to help.

My songs in my Music folder are stuck on repeat, how do I get them to advance to the next song?

How do I get the songs in my music file to advance to the next song? All they do now is repeat the same song unless I advance it myself.

How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

Good luck. I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything. iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist.
In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files). You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order. Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song. You'll still have to double-click on each song.
Might be a good time to learn AppleScript It would also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

When I play my music from my playlist it will not advance to the next song, it just repeats the song over. I have to advance to the next song manually.

When I am playing my music it will not advance to the next song, it just keeps repeating the song. The only way to go to the next song is to do it manually. It just started this after the last update. How do I fix it, hard to listen to at the gym.

Check the song and see if repeat is activated. Down in the bottom left corner is repeat when the music is running. It would have a colored box around it if it is active. It would either read Repeat Song, or Repeat Playlist.

When I am editing information is there a keyboard shortcut to advance to the next song without using the mouse to click "next"?

Thank you so much. I've been trying to find a way to do this for a long time!

Please help me

I opened a new user on my computer yesterday with administrative privledges. I then opened up an itunes account from this new user. It seemed to go pretty well. I haven't downloaded any new songs yet or moved them to my account. I don't know how to move songs yet. I'm reading iPod and iTunes for Dummeies. Very appropriate for me. I will let you know when I manage to do this and am successful. Once again, thank you for your kindness and help. Kay 205

Next Song Button - Stops the song and does not advance to the next song

I just loaded 8.0.2.20. Now I cannot use the ">>" next song button. I've tried many playlists and rebooted the system - no luck.
If song 1 in my playlist is playing and I click on the next song button, song 1 stops, song 1 remains highlighted in the main display area (list view).

I just figured this out. All of my songs were "unchecked" after I was working on setting up iTunes for multiple ipods. Now that they are all check, the "forward" or "Next" button works fine.

I was down loading music from my list of songs from my computer, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but there is no music, and the iPod shuffles to the next song

I down loaded songs from my playlist off my computer to my iPod, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but no music plays and my iPod shuffles to the next available song. I down loaded about 300 songs at once, was that to much at one time ? How do I get those songs on my iPod without duplicating song titles on the playlist? Plus I have a couple of song duplications on the playlist, can't figure out how to remove them.

If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer

Why doesn't my ipod advance to the next song when i'm listening to it.
