Note: if you turn off repeat the icon will disappear again. Like the shuffle icon it will be gray when disabled and blue when enabled. Once you have enabled the repeat function you will find that the repeat icon is back where it belongs-at the top of iTunes next to the shuffle icon. Select “One” if you just want a single song to play over and over (and over and over), or select “All” if you want to shuffle all of the songs from the given artist, album, or playlist. Repeat is disabled by default so you should see that “Off” is the current selection. Right-click on the shuffle icon.Ī contextual menu will appear with options to enable or disable the shuffle and repeat functions. It will be gray if shuffle is disabled and blue if the feature is enabled. In the top middle next to the album artwork thumbnail you should see the shuffle icon (the two crossed arrows). ITunes displays information about the currently playing song at the top of the window.
If you like to have your songs repeat like I do, here is how you get the repeat icon back where it belongs. I can’t fathom what the motive would be for Apple to intentionally hide or remove the repeat capability, so I’m assuming it’s a glitch of some sort. I’m still not clear on whether this is a bug or an intentional change to the user interface by Apple.
#Itunes 12.5 mac duplicate finder how to
I did a little digging and found out how to find the repeat function in iTunes 12.Īpple didn’t get rid of the repeat feature.
After I installed iTunes 12, though, I could select shuffle but the familiar repeat icon-the double arrows in a loop-was nowhere to be found. When I play music in iTunes I generally choose an artist or playlist and set it to shuffle and repeat.
