A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?

In iTunes I have music Playlists set to shuffle (blue double arrow button) and audio books Playlist set no shuffle. I have been unable to get my iPod to follow these settings. A suggested work around is to use the iPod Settings to set the shuffle function to "songs" when playing music and then switching to “off’ for audio books. There has to be a better way. How do I set the Playlists on my iPod to function the same as it does on iTunes?

LeftyLucy,
Using your process are you able to set your iPod to shuffle then listen to the audio book without it shuffling the chapters? I have tried your suggestion with the iPod setting set to shuffle and the chapters shuffled. This is the issue from my original post. I want to listen to music with the shuffle function and listen to audio books (no shuffle) without having to change the settings every time I switch.
Keep in mind that is not a purchased audio nor a imported book.
Using a tip from the following post:

I have attempted to make the audio book file into an authenticate file but that did not help.

  • Why can't I get actions to work? BAFFLED

    Hi, I'm a graphic designer, really not up to speed in the web world. I made myself an idiosyncratic little website using edge animate, learning from the built it lessons (I would appreciate any feedback concerning as I'm stumbling around here, if anyone can be bothered )
    I wanted to add an email link to the end of it, also, some kind of 'skip to the end' feature that appears from the beginning, and eventually a link to a portfolio site. But I can't get ANY actions to work.
    However, when I make a new file, I can do all these things. I can draw a rectangle, and make it clickable so that it jumps to the end, or opens an external site. It does this as expected, when I 'preview in browser'. But my main animation that I've spent hours mucking around with, does nothing. Mouse clicks do absolutely nothing...
    So, I'm baffled, and any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Here's my site, its a simple html thing with the edge animation embedded. I'd never offer these services for a client, but I thought I might be able to cobble something together for myself. As I said, any feedback would be welcome, as I'm stumbling around a bit. Ok a lot.

    thank you!

    Thanks!
    I'll past the code below, but actually it think this eror relates to a symbol I created when I was trying to get an email link working, and I forgot to delete it. Though it didn't work, I'm not sure it has much to do with WHY I couldn't get actions to work in the first place, as nothing else I tried, very simple things like a link to an external webpage worked either. Yet they did when I attempted it with a new animate project. Not sure.
    the whole project is here as a zipped file.
    http://www.antenna.net.nz/animatebafflement/published.zip
    and here is that code as mentioned. And thanks for your help!
    (function($,Edge,compId){var Composition=Edge.Composition,Symbol=Edge.Symbol;
    //Edge symbol: 'stage'
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_arrow}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // insert code for mouse click here
             sym.stop();
    (function(symbolName){     
    })("stage");
       //Edge symbol end:'stage'
       //=========================================================
       //Edge symbol: 'Symbol_1'
       (function(symbolName) {  
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_email}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // insert code for mouse click here
             var emailer = window.open("mailto:[email protected]?subject=Are you my designer?");// sym.$("name") resolves an Edge Animate element name to a DOM
          //Edge binding end
       })("Symbol_1");
       //Edge symbol end:'Symbol_1'
    })(jQuery, AdobeEdge, "EDGE-20179367");

  • What is local storage? Why can't I get this app?

    So I'm trying to get the sims free play app on my ipod4g. It requires 569MB. So I click download and it says I do not have enough local storage. Which I clear do cause I just deleted almost everything off my iPod. I have 1.0GB of free storage left. I don't get it??? Why can't I get the app???

    You do NOT have enough space.  Most apps require 2 or 3 thimes the space required in order to install the app.
    You will need 1.2 - 1.8 gb or so free

  • UDP in applet? Why can't I get it to work????  How do I assign permissions?

    I have signed my applet, and everything is cool, but how do I let the user allow me to open UDP datagram packets?
    I have seen a whole bunch of stuff about policy files, but Sun doesn't expect the user to have to run some wierd policy tool right?? How can it happen that the user allows me to do whatever I want ... I signed my Jar, created certificate, but how do I get the policies to be sent with my Jar?? The user should only need to click once or twice to say yes I trust this applet, and I want to do whatever i want ... Why can't I open datagram sockets?
    On another note, the reason I want to do this is to create a game, where I need a fast connection between players. I don't want to bounce everything through the server for obvious reasons, but I don't want to use the normal Socket either between players since that is supposed to be slower than datagram ... my plan is to use datagram sockets between players for gameplay connectivity, and ServerSocket/Socket between server and each player (for updating scores, etc, less traffic) ... is this a good plan? do I have the right idea?

    Why can't I open datagram sockets?1. Wrong code
    2. Untrusted calling code (javascript)
    3. Proxy
    4. 3rd party jars not found
    Do you get an exception if so what is it?

  • Why can't I get this extension to show up after I download it, help with code?

    Is there an error in the source code somwhere, here is the url https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wisecampus-1/. I created this extension with the app builder where it generates a zip and you modify it to what you want. I made very little changes, I just would like to have a button on the toolbar that launches the site when clicked. If someone with more experience could take a look at the source code and possibly help me get this up and running it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

    Not really a Firefox user support issue. I am not am add-on developer, but I think I found your problem. ''Can't show the actual css code from that file, this forum software would try to execute it instead of displaying the code.''
    In the '''overlay.css''' file the '''''wcextension-toolbar-button - list-style-image''''' shows the '''''url''''' as http://www.wisecampusbooks.com/images/WC_icon2.jpg . Shouldn't it point to the '''toolbar-button.png''' image in the \chrome\skin\ folder instead?
    I can see the image from that URL when the toolbar button is sitting in the Customize Palette, but the image disappears when the button is moved to a Toolbar. I think that using a web based image in the UI is a security fault, which Firefox is blocking. Something like that could potentially be used to "track" a user or to count how often that button is clicked.

  • HT3529 why can't I get iMessage to work on iPad1?

    I can't get iMessage to work on iPad1

    Close the Messages app, then turn it off in the settings, reboot your iPad and after it starts up, turn Messages on again and see if it works.
    To close messages completely - Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the rhe messages icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Installing on Macbook Air 4,2 - why can I not get this done?

    I am trying so desperately to install Arch and dual-boot on my Macbook Air.  I'm not an Arch noob - I promise.  I've installed and loved arch on my old laptop a couple years back but that was not a mac. 
    I've been here but all it says is that this "works out of the box".  Unfortunately, I can't get that far.
    I flashed Archboot to my USB thumb stick using DD and booted into it using ReFind.  I can't remember what the first option was, but I believe it was Arch-something with EFI.  I chose that and I got an error message: 
    Failed to open file:  boot\intel-ucode.img
    Trying to load files to higher address
    Failed to open file: boot\intel-ucode.img
    So, I chose the second option which says (I'm sorry, I'm in my OSX right now so I'mg telling this from memory) something like Arch-something without EFI.  Then I got to the actual install console.  I created some partitions using cgdisk and chose my packages but they all failed to install due to a dependency missing.  I'm really sorry I don't know what that error was.  After I post this I will go back and try again and see if I Can get a screen shot.
    Anyhow - This is nothing like my install was on my old PC laptop and I feel like I'm not even sure if I'm going down the right path.  Does anyone know of a youtube video which shows this process?  Honestly, as much as I've used Arch in the past, I truly feel like a dumbass right now but I'm willing to risk my reputation for a rig that runs the sweetest Linux there is.
    Thanks -
    Whatever you need, logs, etc... no problem - but tell me where to get them because I'm not sure how to with my system in limbo like this.

    Alright, only problem is that the beginner's guide talks about entering things at a prompt - like "# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda".  i'm not at a prompt.  I'm in the GUI Archboot console.  Also, I don't see instructions on which partitions to create, what size to make them, etc..  and, I still don't know why the original option in Archboot failed - the one that prompted me that it could not find boot/intel-ucode/img.  It's not that I haven't read the documentation and it's also not that I'm too stupid to figure it out - I feel like I'm on the wrong track. For example, the Beginner's Guide doesn't even mention instructions for Archboot - which is what I'm using.  By the way, thank you for your response.  I don't want to sound ungrateful

  • Why can't I get albums to work for me?

    I'm struggling with creating a new site for my business that uses albums to display my portfolio images. I have everything working like it should inside iWeb, but when I publish to a folder or upload it to a website, the albums just work as images and do not link to the gallery of images inside.
    I have two galleries on my portfolio page. Within iWeb, I can click on either album and get the images to open in slideshow and other modes. For some reason, though, the link is broken to prevent the album from working as a link to the images within when it is translated to a working webpage. What am I doing wrong? I dragged an iPhoto gallery to the gallery page to create each album and am able to do all of the navigation I would expect within iWeb.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I get this website to load properly?

    www.wzzm13.com A local news website.
    I can access it with Internet explorer, or my android tablet with no problem.
    I cannot access it with Firefox, (32) or Nightly (64) and I have removed both, wiped out everything to do with them, reinstalled them with NO ad-ons, and still the problem exists.
    Basically the problem is, I can get to the website, but I cannot click on any of the news articles. They will NOT work. The articles are "pop up" screens. I have the pop up blocker turned off. All advertisement blockers turned off.. and yet something in fire fox is still blocking this website from loading properly.
    Fire fox 3.1 (latest version) same with Nightly. I HATE having to use explorer.
    Anyone have any idea? Ive tried everything listed here. Clearing cashe, cookies, everything.. still the problem exists ONLY for fire fox.
    Thanks.

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • TS3367 When I try to activate y FaceTime, I get "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password, I'm on wifi, I've tried toggling off and back on again... why can't I get FaceTime to work?

    When I try to activate my FaceTime, I get an error msg that says, "An error occurred during activation.  Try again."  I have a good password (I used it to get here...); I'm on WiFi; I've toggled FT off and back on again but I cannot get past the error message and get activated.  What's wrong?  Thanks.  Talking about my iPhone (4). 

    Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before?  If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds.  Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on.  Then try it again.  Let me know what the results are.
