How do I keep my ipod from playing podcasts on shuffle?

I have some "songs" that I want to classify solely in the podcast category so that they don't play when my ipod is on shuffle.  When I try to delete them from the "music" folder they are also deleted from Podcasts.   Help!

right-click on the file and get info. go to the options tab and see if you can change media kind to podcast. on the same tab, checkmark skip when shuffling.

    Thanks!

    A POP account does not syncronize the account among messages.
    Could it be that your are deleting the messages from the server when you get the mail on your iPo
    in Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendar> my POP account or IMAP> Out going Mail Server, Advanced> Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox> set it to nerver remove messages from the server.

  • How do I keep my iPod from Freezing while listening to audiobooks?

    I've been listening to audiobooks from audible.com for years... withing the last few months I've had a problem with some downloaded books only playing a few minutes (3 - 15) when my iPod freezes and I have to reset. If I try to continue the audiobook -- the same thing happens in the same place.  Other audiobooks play fine -- no troubles.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, have you found a reason and/or a fix?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but help in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • How do I keep my ipod from doing this?

    My iPod touch is at its latest firmware, 5.1.1, and it is glitching all the time. These photos happened within a week of each other. Sometimes you have to notice where the status bar is. The simple passcode that I had for all of these was 3278. Sometimes I couldn't type the 7 or 8. The first two screenshots, I just unlocked it, but all the others, I had to restart the iPod.
    Right here my password was "Apple." I typed A, then I realized that I couldn't type P. Somebody told me it is fixed in iOS 6, but my iPod, a 3g, has no more updates. Apple has even told me that the iPod 3g can't support any more updates. I don't believe that. My computer, from 1999, was updated to an update that it really shouldn't work, becuase it is too slow.  I don't like Apple's ways. If you buy a 3rd gen and they come out with a 5th, you should be able to upgrade. Like the AT&T videos. Upgrade when you want, not when you're told. If there is no solution, and my friends iPod I'm buying does this too, 4th gen, then I'm just going to switch to Android or Kindle or whatever. Apple just wouldn't be worth my time. Too confusing. I get an app on my iPad, plug it into iTunes, and it says it isn't autorized. I have my iPad synced with my mom's Apple ID and I used mine to get the app. So yeah. If it does this again, I'm switching to android.

    I would just try restoring it in iTunes on a computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
    You can create a backup in iTunes beforehand if you're concerned about losing any data other than applications and music (which can just be resynced to the iPod).
    If there's something you don't like about Apple software or procedures you can always go to apple.com/feedback in stead of venting on forums where nobody can acutally do anything about it.

  • How do u keep your iPod from heating up

    Why do u get a new iPod but doesn't work the way u want it to work

    How do you want it to work? How is not working the way you want it to work?
    All Computers and batteries generate heat. There is no way to stop that. In a tiny hand held device you notice it more than a computer tower under your desk, but both the computer tower and your iPod are doing the same things, computing, drawing graphics, transferring data, etc.

  • How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

    How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
    So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist.  That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

    Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

  • How do I keep the music from my old 1st gen mini and put it on my new ipod touch without loosing it. the computer I used to load the mini was stolen quite some time ago????

    How do I keep my music from my old 1st gen ipod mini when the computer that I originally loaded it with was stolen more than 5 years ago and transfer all the music onto my new ipod touch? My fear has always been that plugging my mini into another computer and attempting to download more music onto it or take what's on there off will end up erasing all of it because of file sharing regs. I would really prefer not to have to repurchase several hundred dollars of music as many of the original cd's that I used to download have been either lost or damaged over the years. Is there anything I can do????

  • How do I keep the iPod Touch from people resetting it/putting it in DFU mode?

    I have iPod Touch 5th Gen. iOS 6.1.3 again.I'm having surgery this week.My question is How do I keep the iPod safe from people doing stuff like putting it in DFU mode,resetting my stuff,etc. because I don't want people to get on my stuff while I'm having 1 hour/30 minutes of surgery?
    Also,the surgery is just 1 hour/30 minutes.

    Besides locking in a safe or giving it to a trusted person, all you can do is use a complex screen-lock passcode to protect your personal information. Someone still can erase the iPod by placing in recovery mode and restoring via iTunes but they will have to enter your ID and password to use the erased iPod

  • How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

    Here's the issue.  Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods.  We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set.  BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off!  How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me??  In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked?  What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else.  And ask me to turn on wi fi.  How and can this even be done?  Right now my d text is turned off completely.  And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself.  On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again!  HELP!  Thanks :)  Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

    TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

  • How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

    How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

  • How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

    How do I keep my Imessages from being viewed on other devices under my apple ID?

    No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.
