Why is my Iphone stuck on repeat songs?

Hi there i am a regualr user of my Ipod on my Iphone and i have not changed any settings but today every time i play an album or a playlist it just keeps repeating the same track? I have tried to see if i told it to repeat but i cant find it anywhere. Can anyone help me find out how to get it off repeating everything.

Thanks
Andy

Sure 🙂

1. I have an iphone 5 S, fyi

2.) I locate the music app that comes with the phone.

3.) Open a song.

4.) Tap on the song that is shown as a strip down the bottom, the song will fill the screen. It shows an image, a progress bar, play/pause button etc... put your finger on the screen and slide up, the screen will move/scroll up and a large button in red writing with "Shuffle" and another button saying "Repeat" will come into view, below them the "Up Next" tracks....


Note: I have version 10.2 (14C92) fyi, make sure you have the lastest version of the operating system, so we are talking about the same thing.

Hope this helps 🙂

take care

Ok, this has been going to long and it has driven me crazy.


From the playlist window select the square to the left of the pause play next song buttons - at the bottom of the window. It will display album art if you have it.


This will open the play window which is where your problems began; the circle made up of two arrows which when pressed repeats all songs and is no longer there once it has been pushed - hence the problem we've been having.


Take one finger and push the play window up. The replay button will appear - tap it.


It's deceiving because it appears as though the play screen is just another screen but when you push it up you will see the playlist below it and in between - the replay button.


One other thing, you can not pull the playlist screen down to see the replay button, you must go the play window.

1. Play the song.
2. Tap the now playing screen.
3. On the Now Playing screen, you will now see play and volume controls at the bottom of the screen. At the top is track information. Under the album title is a scrubbing bar that indicates the time remaining in the song.
4. A small icon that looks like two circular arrows is on the left side below the scrubbing bar. Tap this icon once to repeat the album. The icon will turn blue when repeat is activated.
5. Tap the icon again to repeat the current song. The icon will change to show the number 1 inside a blue circle.
6. Touch the icon a third time to cancel any repeat. The icon will turn white when it's deactivated.
