Can anyone please help me figure out why songs keep repeating when i have it set to shuffle and the repeat button is NOT on at all. It has been happening on both my computer and ipad. It may skip to another song but then the next song will be the previous one and may repeat again if moved on.
Windows 7, on both ipad and windows 7
Same problem. I know what repeat looks like, what black / blue / off / on colors look like too. I think this requires Apple to look at it asap. This is a paid service and it doesn't work properly. I've had three other people try to figure it out too. The patch is to use the "play next" button but that only works for short time in specific ways. This should not be hard. Before I bought Apple Music I had no issue w my iTunes account. Everything worked fine on my laptop and my iPhone. Who will move to fix this?
What happens if you turn off the "shuffle" feature, because frankly, it sounds as though you have the repeat function on, not the shuffle function.
The repeat icon looks like, or very similar to this:
-
and in iTunes,
The shuffle button looks like this:
Note in the shot above, that the repeat icon (to the left of the playing time bar) is black. This means repeat is off.
On an iPod Touch, shuffle on looks like this:
In all cases, blue means it is on.
I know the difference between the shuffle key and the repeat key, which is why is said that it was NOT the repeat key being on. The problem is something else...
Okay, but since many users apparently don't know the difference, that needed to be confirmed first, especially since I can't think of any reason why both iTunes and your iPad should apparently exhibit the same incorrect behaviour - nad start to do so at the same time.
If it was simply the iPad doing this, I would suggest a Restore for the iPad. But I know of no way to "correct" such behaviour by iTunes.
What happens if you turn off the shuffle?
HI I have this same very annoying problem since the ios8 update I think. Have tried everything to get my playlists to play properly ditto for albums. **** thing just keeps reverting back to repeat. Seems impossible to turn off permanently.. I cant find any general edit box to edit all/ check all on the iPad music app or in the control centre. I can't believe how many people are complaining about this problem and nothing has been done. I feel very angry Nd cheated out of access to my music.
If your problem is on an iPad, rather than in iTunes (where this thread is located), then I suggest you create your own question in the iPad discussions area. That way, those with an iPad might be able to throw some light on why that is happening (and help you stop it).
