Can not shuffle songs

I recently joined iCloud and since then have not been able to shuffle songs on my Apple TV.
My songs are on the Apple TV.  They are all there; all the album art is there, and I can play them individually; however when I click "Shuffle Songs" I receive the following message - "No content was found".
My Home Sharing is on, and I have unplugged the Apple TV and restarted my iMac, but keep getting the same error message.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

At least for me, it's when I'm trying to shuffle songs from my desktop's library on the appletv.  So not icloud-hosted stuff.  It's just that the timing seems to coincide with activation of an icloud account.
So it's able to access the library to display artwork, list all the songs, artists, albums, etc. and even play individual songs or shuffle playlists, but it no longer can shuffle if you select all songs, or a genre and all albums, etc.
From his description, it sounds to me like the OP is seeing exactly the same thing - it can access everything, but balks at shuffling directly from the library itself.

  • Itunes will not shuffle songs

    I can't shuffle songs in a playlist anymore. I used to be able to do it, then one day it just stopped. I clicked the icon, went to "control-shuffle songs", held down the alt button and clicked the icon, and even hit F5 as stated in the trouble shooting guide. Still no shuffle. Any suggestions? This isn't an idpo issue, its an itunes issue.

    Thank you for posting this problem and solution. I had the same problem and couldn't find much help elsewhere. I tried your solutions and would offer a slight change that made it worked for me.
    I completed steps 1 through 6. Then iTunes tried to sync with my ipod shuffle. It wasn't communicating with the ipod so the software was frozen for several minutes. I switched to Device Manager window to "Scan for hardware changes" and the iPod showed up under Storage volumes, but with a yellow circle with an exclamation mark in it. Clicking on the device properties showed that it was not working properly. After iTunes finally gave up trying to synce and reported the "Required disk cannot be found" message I returned to Device Manager and uninstalled the device (ipod). Then I followed the directions in step 7. to "Scan for hardware changes". Windows automatically installed the hardware, but then wanted me to reboot. The first time I pressed "Yes". That was the wrong choice. The second time I pressed "No". Then I followed step 8. and returned to iTunes and the ipod was working again. I deselected "disk use", switched to the content tab and clicked on Autofill and it worked.
    Thanks again for your solution.

  • Can Not Shuffle Playlist

    I just got this ipod and can not shuffle the playlist I am listening to. I dug up some info on this and read I need to go to settings and make sure that it is shuffle songs and not albums for my playlist to shuffle. BUT, the only option in settings is for Shuffle Songs and when I choose that it jumps out of playlist and to the main category of playing (shuffling) all music on my ipod. Wassup with this.

    Hi thall89553!
    I'm not sure what exactly is going wrong here... but how about I go ahead and to a step-by-step procedure here on how to shuffle a specific playlist:
    1 - From the Main Menu on your iPod, go to "Settings > Shuffle".
    2 - Verify that this is selected to "Songs", but "Off", or "Albums".
    3 - Then, click on the "Menu" button a couple of times to reach the Main Menu on your iPod again.
    4 - Go to "Music > Playlists".
    5 - Now, don't click on the playlist that you want to shuffle, simply highlight it.
    6 - Then, with the playlist highlighted, press the Play/Pause button on your iPod.
    After following those steps, your iPod ought to begin shuffling the playlist that you had highlighted.
    If something different than this happens, then please post back, and describe how the iPod acts when you attempt to do this.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

    You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod.  This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library.  In 11 that button is no longer there.  How can you do this now?

    Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
    In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
    In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red).  Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
    Hey presto!
    Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?

  • Still can not get songs to delete from library.....

    I have read through the forums..made sure to try every option available..still I can not get songs to delete from library. Help!!

    I am assuming you have tried all the obvious ones, delete key, right-click -> delete, Edit -> Delete, etc. Are you getting an error message when you try to delete? Are you just trying to delete from the library or delete the file as well?

    Hi Nannohelp,
    If you are having interface issues with your iPod nano (won't shuffle), a reset has not resolved it, and you have all your music available in iTunes, you may want to try restoring your iPod to factory settings, reloading the music from iTunes, then testing the shuffle function. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Can you shuffle songs in a playlist?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can randomly shuffle songs in a playlist. I have all my music divided up by Genre and sometimes I want to listen to one rather than the other. When I hit shuffle songs, it goes back to the entire library and shuffles all the songs. Thanks for the help.

    Go into settings and turn shuffle on to Songs. Once
    you turn shuffle on, if you select the playlist name
    and hit play the playlist will play shuffled.
    If you go into the playlist (so you can see each
    song) and play it it won't shuffle. This hosed me
    into thinking shuffle didnt't work when I first got
    my ipod.
    Thank you! That worked!

  • After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs

    After 4.3.3 upgrade ipod does not shuffle songs. The stop shuffling after any interruption occurs. So If play in the card, get a call, answer it then go back to the music, I have to manually select shuffle. This did not occur prior to the IOS update.

    WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
    If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
    1. Use the 128 bit setting
    2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
    You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.

    I said that rather confusing.

    He purchased something in an app he got and it did not seem to deduct it from his
    available credits.
    basically i want to make sure the credits will be used before my card was ever charged for anything.
    does the app store use available credits before resorting to the credit card on file?

  • How can I shuffle songs within one genre on i0s7?

    I have got i0s7 on my iphone 5 and find that when I go into a particular genre of music I can no longer "shuffle" songs from different artists within the same genre. Can anyone help?

    From another thread
    If you just highlight the name of the genre and press play/pause, you won't have to select an artist.
