Shuffle not working

I’ve tried every button there is to shuffle the music on my iphone and iPod but nothing seems to work. Followed advice to touch the album artwork to reveal a scrubber to turn off the endless repeat. No touching, tapping, hitting will show the scrubber. Can someone please help as this is driving us nuts.. thanks.

Hello Stephanium

From the information you have provided I suggest you check out the following information:


Play, repeat, and shuffle music - Apple Support

Repeat songs

Open the Now Playing screen and scroll down.
Tap User uploaded file once to turn on repeat for an entire playlist or album. Tap User uploaded file again to turn on repeat for one song. Tap User uploaded file a third time to clear the repeat.
When repeat is on, you'll see User uploaded file or User uploaded file. To turn it off, tap the button until you see User uploaded file .


Once you have repeat turned off, then you can turn on shuffle.
