Can shuffle songs or random play be used with a playlist?

After a playlist is on the ipod, can you play the songs in the playlist randomly or in shuffle mode? Haven't been able to find any info on this.

Well... yes, this works, but for me, it's a bit less than ideal.
I don't want to have to turn Shuffle on or off then navigate to the desired playlist.
What I want is a sort of "Smart Shuffle Playlist" that will contain X number of songs that I put into it and will always play those X songs in random order. Other playlists (non-Smart Shuffle Playlists) would not be touched.
Why? Some playlists would be an exact, fixed sequence of songs that I really prefer to listen to in a particular order. Other playlists would be a bunch of songs that would play in a random order every time.
The current options are *so close* to this... but just not there.

Are all songs checked in your playlist?

After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

I had the same issue. In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies. I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes. on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone. Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone. So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long. Hope this helps!

Can you configure a static port to use with certsrv.msc?

I am trying to use certsrv.msc to connect from my workstation to the CA for administration purposes. Workstation is Win7, CA is 2008 R2 Enterprise running Enterprise Subordinate on a dedicated box.
I configured a static DCOM port for certsvc by following this article, including bouncing the service and also rebooting the CA box:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1559.how-to-configure-a-static-dcom-port-for-ad-cs.aspx
The static port was opened in the firewall from my workstation to the CA. We also found that TCP 445 was required, so that has been opened as well, port 135 & other ports normally needed for autoenrollment should be open. Sniffing the firewall
showed that a random high numbered port that is not the static dcom port is being attempted - this is the only port showing dropped packets & no traffic on the static port.
I am wondering if there is a way to configure a static port for this high-level random port to use with certsrv.msc as I was able to do with the certsvc dcom port? I am trying to avoid having tens of thousands of network ports wide open going to my
CA... Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve,
I am sorry that I wasn’t able to find references about restricting certificate services only use one port in the random port range.
However, we can configure RPC dynamic ports allocation to restrict port range. In the meantime, we should keep at least 100 ports open to keep necessary system services running.

Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

Can an older IPod (click wheel) be used with a wireless/bluetooth speaker? If so, how?

There is no doubt you can.
When you say photos stored on it.. in what form are these photos?? Is this your iphoto library?
If so using iphoto library on the TC has risks.. not necessarily viewing photos .. that should be fine. But if you have photos you are editing and wireless comms drop out leaving the library with a file open, it is likely to corrupt your library. Please check with the iphoto people on the discussion board if you want to go ahead for the dangers of using iphoto on any network drive.
The TC is not designed as a NAS .. in particular it cannot back itself up, nor can Time Machine backup the TC. So any files on the TC are at risk. If you manage to corrupt the iphoto library without a current backup... does that worry you??

Hi Robert and welcome to Apple Discussions,
There are adapters available that convert micro cards into fullsize ones.
You will also need a USB card reader if you do not have one.
Good luck,

Greetings,
The earliest version of LabVIEW supported by NI-DAQ 6.9.3 is LabVIEW
5.0. The newest version of NI-DAQ to support LabVIEW 4 is NI-DAQ 6.6.
So, you will either have to upgrade LabVIEW or use NI-DAQ 6.6. You
can download NI-DAQ 6.6 from the link below.

Can the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Port be used with a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and then to a Thunderbolt Hard Drive as a back up drive?

Can the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Port be used with a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and then to a Thunderbolt Hard Drive as a back up drive?

If you use ethernet to connect the two AirPort Extremes together, you'll have Gigabit speeds available at all of the ethernet ports on both routers.
If you connect the second AirPort Extreme using wireless only and configure the Extreme to "extend a wireless network", then the maximum speeds that the second router can attain will be limited to the capability of the wireless connection. So, if you connect at normal "n" wireless speeds of say 130 Mbps, that will be the maximum speed available at the ethernet ports on the second AirPort Extreme.
I think you can easily see the difference between Gigabit ethernet, which is 1000 Mbps compared to "n" wireless at 130 Mbps. Even if you can manage to connect at 5 GHz speeds for wireless, the max speed will be in the 300 Mbps range, more than 3 times slower than Gigabit ethernet. Normal "n" speeds will be about 7 times slower than ethernet.
For streaming high definition video and other demanding sources, you'll need as much bandwidth (speed) as you can get. Ethernet is always the best choice if you can possibly use it. And...there's no wireless interference on an ethernet connection.

Nope......AT&T and Verizon do not use the same LTE technology.

Missing songs in "Random play all&qu

I have a Creative Zen (8GB) with the latest firmware and I just did a fresh reformat, uploaded 566 songs using Winamp (which I can verify in Winamp, 566 mp3s ARE on the player), and if I select random play all on the player it only plays 524 of them. I can put a playlist on the player which contains all 566 songs and they all play fine, but for some reason the random play all button won't load all the songs on the player. Any thoughts? (And no, "don't use winamp" isn't an acceptable answer, thanks).

I have one more problem now. Apparently my Zen 8GB hates certain characters in ID3 tags and replaces them with more friendly characters when files are transferred to it. This causes massi've problems because any playlists that referenced the songs with invalid letters in the tags will no longer contain those songs, and when syncing it causes problems because songs with different tags are obviously seen as different songs (even though they are the same song, one with the tags mangled).
Does anyone know of some software that can remove all the unsupported characters from the ID3 tags in my media library? That would really make life a lot easier, thanks.

Ipod quit shuffling songs...plays same one over and over

My 32gb iPod touch 4th generaiton quit shuffling songs? Just repeats the same song even tho I request shuffle.
This worked fine previously. Any help appreciated.

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. 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?
